1. W: Two Worlds: This series is one that dealt with a very creative idea with having one of our leads be a comic book character that discovers that is a fictional character and this leads to quite a few philosophical questions about what it really means to be human and it also I allowed for the plot at least whenever it was in the comic book world to be dictated by story logic rather than real world logic which was a lot of fun. The story also had a very sweet romance at the center of it and it was also a thriller that ended up having a villain that was almost completely unstoppable since he lacked an identity. This show had lots of twists and turns through out and also had characters that I loved rooting for which makes this series one that is very hard to top.
2. While You Were Sleeping: This series is one that deals with the idea of if you can see the future would you actually be able to change the future for the better and if you can't than how will you deal with that. This drama is one that I really ended up loving because of it's characters they were just so well written that I felt like they felt like real people and I really ended up adoring the lead couple because of how well they suited each other and worked together.
3. Because This is My First Life: This series was a really fun one that dealt with our leads finding themselves accidently living together and eventually deciding that getting fake married was the most logical solution to their current problems. I really loved the characters in this drama they were well fleshed out and a bit quirky and I loved seeing them and their relationship develop through out the series.
4. Dream High: This series is a heartwarming story about high schoolers pursuing their dreams to make it in the Kpop industry. This series is one that had a lot of heart to it and really loved that we focused on a group of characters rather than just one or two and I ended up loving them all and enjoying their growth as individuals as well as their relationship development. I also really loved the soundtrack for this series.
5. School 2013: This is a series that dealt with the daily struggles of high school students and teachers and I really loved how this series did such a good job of making you invested in all the characters and making you understand things differently depending on which characters point of view you were viewing the situation from. I really loved how this series was able to make everyday problems feel so high stacks because of how much they matter to the characters.
6. White Christmas: This series is a great psychological thriller and character study that asked interesting questions about humanity. I really loved the mood and atmosphere that series had and I really loved how the series constantly used the threat of violence rather than actually violence to raise the stacks in any given situation.
7. Suspicious Partner: This series was one that was a lot of fun it was romantic comedy that also had a murder mystery and legal drama aspects to it which worked pretty well together in this series. This series had good characters I really enjoyed watching and I found myself invested in it's story for the majority of the series.
8. Cheese in the Trap: This series that dealt with the college life of a girl just finishing up college was one that I found myself relating to and investing in a lot because of how well written the characters were and like School 2013 I felt that this series also did a good job of making the everyday stuff feel high stacks.
9. Witch's Romance: This is a delightful romantic comedy that had great leading characters that worked so very well together and it is honestly one of the series that I find the most fun and romantic to watch.
10. Marriage Not Dating: This series is a hilarious romantic comedy that involves fake dating and surprising amount of character depth and growth as well as being series that can be quite heartwarming at times as well.

Top 10 Kdramas I've Watched
1. City Hunter:This series is one that is a story of revenge that has a good amount of action and romance to it as well. This series is one that has a really good story behind it and good characters that make you invested in the story. I thought that this drama had good conflict between the characters that kept the story interesting through out it's run.
2. I Hear Your Voice: This series is one that is a bit hard to pin down because there are just so many aspects to it, this series is a noona romance, a legal drama and thriller with a supernatural element all at once and it feels like all the pieces of the story shouldn't fit as well together as they do. The characters are great and they all are able to go through character development through out the series as well as getting plenty of relationship development. Overall this series is one that you can't help but become emotionally invested in and that makes you forgive any of the flaws this series may have.
3. Healer: This series is an action adventure romance that has the male lead acting similarly to a superhero and a female lead working as a truth seeking reporter which are tropes we've seen before but this series makes them feel brand new. This series is one that has a very good emotional core to it with characters that you can't help but love.
4. Pinocchio: This series is another great one that deals with the morals and ethics of broadcast journalism and explores the very nature of what the truth is. This series is one that has great characters that go through emotional journeys as they have their world views challenged and the romance in the series is great as well.
5. W: Two Worlds: This one is a series that has a concept that really stands out with having a comic book character become self aware and having the female lead sucked into the comic book and end up falling in love with him. This series is one that is filled with twists and turns and it gives the audience plenty to talk about as we explore what makes a human, human.
6. Heartless City: This dark crime story that deals with criminals and undercover cops just trying to survive is one that is extremely well made and endlessly intriguing to watch with all the characters being so very flawed. This show is one that stands out both because of it's darker tone and it's darker but still gorgeous look that the series has to it.
7. Queen In Hyun's Man: This series is a really sweet time travel romance that is sure to make you swoon with two leads that are completely lovable and it has the right balance of fluff and angst to it.
8. Dream High: This series is a teen drama about students at a preforming arts school working their hardest to achieve their dreams and make it in the K-pop industry. The characters in this series are all ones that I can't help but to root for and I really loved seeing them grow through out the series and I always found myself caring about them.
9. School 2013: This series is a drama that is simply about the lives of students and teachers of one class at one school and although that premise doesn't sound all that gripping the series itself is because the characters are and you find yourself completely invested in their story as the series goes on.
10. Witch's Romance: This series is about the romance between 39 year old cold hearted ultra successful reporter and a sweet 25 year old who works has a man who does any kind of part time job someone might need done, the romance in this series is unconventional but also completely heartwarming.

TV Review: School 2013
School 2013
School 2013 is a series that is about the teachers and students for one second year high school class that deals with all the issues that arise in that class during that year from a variety of point of views. This series is one that doesn't have clear cut leads or just one plot line to summarize so it makes describing what the series about a bit hard so I've decided to just split three of the different types of plots that got focused on into this review.
The first plotline that got focused on through out the series is the conflict between the two homeroom teachers Jung In-jae and Kang Se-chan who look at their jobs very differently. Jung looks at her job as a way of preparing all the kids for the world and she believes it is her personal responsibility to help the kids with any problems that they may be having whether it regards school work or not, she goes above and beyond what her job requires her to do so this leads her to sometimes focusing too much on getting everyone's attention rather than just teaching those who actually wants to learn. Kang who usually works as a tutor at night schools where only students who are very serious about attending university go to but is forced into a teaching position because of profiting off some sort private tutoring, the only thing that Kang cares about when it has to do with students are their grades. By being forced to work together Jung and Kang learn to understand the other's point of view and in the end Kang even ends up admiring Jung for the way she never gives up on the students even though he doesn't feel like he could ever allow himself to connect him the way that she does and Jung learns that sometimes no matter how hard you try you can't get through to every student.
The next plotlines of importance I would say would be the ones that involve Go Nam-soon who is a seemingly apathetic slacker who the wannabe gangster in the class Oh Jung-ho and his two friends harass on a seemingly daily bases and while Nam-soon never directly challenges him it's clear that he doesn't fear like the rest of the class but rather that he finds the idea fighting them to be too much of a bother to deal with. Things in the order of who the strongest in the class really starts to get confusing when Park Heung-soo transfers into the class since he seems to have a past of getting kicked out of school and fighting which makes the students other than Nam-soon think of him as dangerous and troublemaker despite the fact that all Heung-soo wants to do is go to school and graduate without causing any trouble. Nam-soon knows Heung-soo since the two of them are former friends and their friendship end with Nam-soon hurting Heung-soo and neither of them have completely gotten over how their friendship ended which causes all sorts of tension in their interactions with Nam-soon feeling so very guilty and wanting to do anything he can try and make up for the past even though he doesn't believe it's possible and Heung-soo being understandable still very anger at Nam-soon. Finding out about what destroy Nam-soon and Heung-soo's friendship and seeing them having to figure out if the can repair their friendship is both the most painful and rewarding part of the series.
The third kind of plot line that this series has are the ones that deals with the academic pressures that students either have placed on them or place on themselves. The top student in the class Song Ha-gyeong wants nothing more than to get into S University and she will do everything she can to get in their which leads her to taking classes illegally at tutoring schools and using some type drugs to stay awake for days when finals week come up so that she can stay up to study. Throughout the series Ha-gyeong ends up learning to not value school work over anything else once she ends up hurting her best friend over it and after that she accepts that there are other things that she cares about more than school. Another student in the class that deals with a lot of academic pressure is Kim Min-ki who's mother has basically planned out his whole life and pretty much micromanages ever aspect of it especially when it comes to studying. The pressure that Min-ki's mother puts on him is something that he ends up feeling so overwhelmed by that he almost kills himself and it's only after that he can get his mother to back off of him a little bit and allow him to have a few more choices about his future.
Overall I really loved this series I thought that it had a great cast of characters and I really enjoyed how this series was able to focus so much on friendships through it's run and I just loved seeing all those relationships develop along with the characters. This series was really great and recommend it to anyone who likes teen dramas because this is a really good one that is more grounded in reality than most. Please tell me your thoughts on this series.
