As the year is ending, I would like to do a compilation of a list of the amazing dramas that I’ve watched in 2019.
This year is definitely a year for K drama (at least to me) as compared to 2015-2017.
#1 Hotel Del Luna 호텔 델루나
No. of episodes: 16
Genre: Horror, Romance, Comedy
Another thriller, horror and romance take in the kdrama scene. Hotels for the afterlife, who knows right?
Brilliant concept and the cast is just SWEET!

#2 Extraordinary You 어쩌다 발견한 하루
No. of episodes: 32
Genre: Romance, Comedy, Fantasy, School
Extraordinary you really took me by surprise and made me discover a group of young potential actors/actresses. The Romance comic within another comic and one other is something that I did not expect. The 6 months of production did right and the drama was a success.

#3 Her Private Life 그녀의 사생활
No. of episodes: 16
Genre: Kpop, Romance, Comedy
Never will forget this adorable drama created for the fans. Maybe those who are really into KPOP will resonate well with this drama. Otherwise, it is just a good drama that shows what we are thinking and why we do certain things.

#4 He is Psychometric 사이코메트리 그녀석
No. of episodes: 16
Genre: Thriller, Investigation, Crime, Police, Fantasy
Jinyoung’s first lead role in a full drama as Yi An is something I will not forget.
The thriller, crime and supernature power drama all in one fast paced drama. I would say that Yi An is the lead role but Seung Mo plays an important role as well.

#5 Touch Your Heart 진심이 닿다
No. of episodes: 16
Genre: Legal, Romance
The happiest person just have equally high EQ and endurance. The story behind all the happy faces is something worth looking into. Love the balance between the romance, comedy and seriousness in the drama.

#6 Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency 조선혼담공작소 꽃파당
No. of episodes: 16
Genre: Period, Romance
Rare rare rare moment for me liking a period drama, but the Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency done it right. One of the drama that I can’t wait for it to be out, so I have to endure the painful 1 week 2 episodes. It is worth it.

#7 Memories of the Alhambra알함브라 궁전의 추억
No. of episodes: 16
Genre: Sci-fi, Fantasy, Romance
Even though it was stated as a drama of 2018, but I only completed the drama in early January this year.
The drama that open my eyes (literally) to the amazing Granada and the A.I. that can be cooperate into one amazing drama.
Even up to now, the music along with the thunder will still creep me out.

#8 Hit the Top 최고의 한방
No. of episodes: 16
Genre: Romance, Comedy
Understand that this is not a new drama in 2019, it was released back in 2017. Took me 2 years to notice this drama that is available on Netflix.
Once I started it, I did not stop. This drama literally accompany me throughout my trip in the Eastern Europe in August. Really fun romantic drama to watch on the road.
