Neoege Ganeun Sokdo 493km (2022)
A little gem of a series
I actually started watching this because I like the ML, and the first and only reviewer (so far) here said they didn't expect to love it this much so I was intrigued. And I totally agree. Unexpectedly great, well written, all round great acting especially from the main leads, seriously talented. Not to mention their amazing chemistry.
It's great to see the plot develop at a good pace as well so it's not frustrating to watch thus far.
For me easily one of the best K series I've seen this year, where other newer have had lots of popularity and viewership but didn't shine in my eyes, this is a brilliant little gem and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
We Best Love: No.1 for You (2021)
Probably the best Taiwanese BL series
Story is realistic, authentic, no fluff. I'm only giving in 9 instead of 10 because it could use some development plot-wise.
Very well acted and portrays love and their relationship in a very relatable way. Not much of the silly, toxic and abusive relationships that you see in other series.

An incredible drama I just can't get over
This is the second Kdrama series I've ever watched (after Crash Landing on You) and now, almost a year later, I still can't seem to get over how beautiful, gripping and in parts sad it was. It's always in the back of my mind, like a good book or a meaningful life experience that stays with you.
A really simple setup of a love story, paired with a generous slice of life and
a glimpse into Korean culture and prejudiced mentality, which for me as a westerner was hard and even heart breaking to accept. So I cried, and cried..
The cinematography is beautiful with many unforgettable and poetic scenes and the soundtrack is amazing as well, I still have that on rotation in my playlist.
Acting and chemistry between the characters is exemplary. Jung Hae-In is an incredibly talented young actor. Paired with Son Ye-Jin , the queen of melodrama as she is known, is of course amazing, her acting is so beautiful and effortless and she is always able to convey authentic emotion.

Gripping and well executed
A captivating and binge worthy detective drama series, this is the Korean version of the hit series Mindhunter. Everything about this is on point. Amazing acting, script, cinematography, soundtrack and overall production value. Pretty much as good as it gets.
Itaewon Keullasseu (2020)
Absolutely amazing drama series
This is one of those rare gems in kdrama series that really does have it all - amazing script, on par acting, beautiful cinematography and directing and overall great production value. This is Kdrama at it's best that's for sure.
Whilst it encapsulates the theme of love it's not strictly about that, it's about one's personal strength in the face of adversity, revenge, social and personal justice paired with a generous slice of life.
A beautiful, compelling and surprising series, sure to keep you thinking about it long after watching.
