안녕하세요 ❤️ 👋
You were definitely patient doing this. Thanks, anyway.
@@melquisedequeercilio3615 it wasn’t that hard nor time consuming at all.
No one is mentioning twinkling watermelon 😢, that drama is top notch ❤
just finished it, so well done
@@manavpatel1462 fr, tho. best drama out of all of them imo.
@@manavpatel1462yes finished watching them few days ago....damn good
YESSSS MY FAV SO FARRR❤
overrated
"My Dearest" has already won awards, and it will win more. If you're younger you probably loved "Twinkling Watermelons", but if you're older, it's between "My Dearest " and "The Good Bad Mother".
I agree My Dearest, far and away the best Korean Drama ever produced. It is perfection. The acting, cinematography, music, writing, and directing were world-class and excellent. The Good Bad Mother was very good, My Perfect Stranger was also very interesting and well done, and Welcome to Sam Dal-ri was delightful. But hands down, My Dearest is at the top. One of my favorite movies of all time.
Twinkling watermelon is the best. I even ended up asking my mom and dad about their love story😢.
After ending 16 episodes i wished i had someone beside me for a hug atleast
🤩🤩🤩
I'd go with Miraculous Brothers, The Kidnapping Day and (more than likely) Evilive for my personal favourites of 2023 so far.
I also have high hopes for Goryeo-Khitan War, mainly as I've been craving a historical political/ military for a very long time.
Love to Hate You was amazing! I laughed and cried so many times throughout that series. The emotions were intense! I fell in love with both the male and female leads.
"My Dearest" should be No.1 as it swept 9 awards. It's a masterpiece. Well written story, masterful direction, stunning cinematography and a cast of brilliant actors whose flawless performances brought to life this heart-rending story of undying love despite all obstacles. This drama deserved all the awards.
wow - missing Worst of Evil, Kidnapping Day, and for sure Twinkling Watermelon and Castaway Diva will be on there as well.
Thank you! I like that you added the MDL rating too. I love MDL site!
Moving was truly a great series. All the ingredients for a good story and so well done. I do hope a second season will be decided. It’s too good not to have at least a second season or a movie sequel.
One of the worst drama
A second season is coming bro
One of the best series in 2023!!!
Not my genre at all, but it was my second favorite drama of the year, after Twinkling Watermelon. Both were outstanding!
one of the best serie ive ever watched!
I enjoyed watching all of them! Waiting for S 2 of Moving. I am watching Vigilante now!
This year's master piece
Twinkling watermelon ❤
My favourites are "uncanny counter" and "tale of the nine tailed"❤
I recommend ' twinkling watermelon ' love laugh life everything is in it ...viva la vida❤❤❤✨️🍉
I'm a fan of Taxi Driver. Probably my #1 KDrama. Cannot wait for season 3 next year. All the characters are great, but the lead is phenomal.
Was hoping that Taxi Driver was at least #2 but Moving is worth the number 1 spot.
Taxi driver has just taken #1 spot on my list too!
Yes one of my fave too
안녕하세요 ❤️ 👋
Moving for sure is one of the best this year. Daily Dose of Sunshine was awesome too, and Castaway Diva was 10/10. Twinkling Watermelon also... Like, the second half of the year have been really good base in the Kdramas we are watching. You have to updated this list for the last week of the year jeje
안녕하세요 ❤️ 👋😊
Where is The Worst of Evil ?!? Can’t believe it’s not on this list!
Where is Destined with u and twinkling watermelon...these were the best for me this year along with moving
Lee Do-Hyun my newest favorite K-Drama actor has 2 series on this list, love it!!😍😍😍🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
My favorite before was Behind Your Touch now I'm tied between Moon In A Day and Castaway Diva!!
I've seen half of your list, and more than half of another. My favorite for the year so far has been Twinkling Watermelon, which I am shocked didn't even get a mention! But the other list I watched didn't mention several of yours, either, like My Dearest. So many great dramas, so little time (even when you're retired there's just. not. enough. of it.).
You should watch the kidnapping day
@@dietman Actually, I already watched it. LOVE Yoon Kye Sang!
안녕하세요 ❤️ 👋
My Dearest❤❤❤❤❤
Killing vote should be on the list... It so good..... Highly recommend❤
I've watched over 100 kdramas and yet none of them were even close to how good Moving was. Moving is a breath of fresh air among shitty romance dramas and actions with many plot holes. It has the best of both worlds and executes everything perfectly. If your ever going to watch a kdrama, let it be moving.
💯% breath of fresh air...Moving.
excited for season 2
@abiyaali3272 care to share where you watch kdrama. Thank you and happy watching✌️❤
@@myrnaalegre9784 I watch my kdramas on their official streaming sites. As for Moving, I watched it on Disney+ 👍
@@myrnaalegre9784my Asian tv
I couldn’t finish first episode from the actress
I’m here checking out what other Kdramas this year I haven’t watch. So everybody’s talking about “The worst of evil”. Adding it to my playlist. :) Btw, Moving is my favorite one this year.
It’s not on Netflix 😢
It’s on dramacool
@@mscheapHulu has it.
My favourite 1. Twinkling watermelon ❤❤ 2. Strong girl nam soon
The glory is still one of the best kdrama this year!
Destined with you was the best drama. It deserves to be on that list. I still watch it ok repeat. Their chemistry is fascinating and amazing no one can top them. Very poor of you that you didn’t include this masterpiece. ShinHong forever ❤️🙌😍
I agree, i loved their chemistry as well :)
Love to hate you is one good drama as well...fresh faces and extreme chemistry.. not to forget the second leads are best as well
My Dearest is not only one of the best drama in 2023 but one of the best dramas everrrr
Agreed. And beyond Korean dramas too--imo.
Yes. I have watched more than 100 dramas but this is the best and best ever…
Can you suggest me some more dramas like my dearest?
If you mean by top quality-- then Goblin aka Guardian the great and lonely god. And It's Okay to Not Be Okay. Just my opinion. @@Anjlii..2688
My list:
1. Bo ra Deborah
2. Love to Hate You
3. Destined with You
4. My Lovely Liar
5. Perfect Marriage Revenge
6. A good day to be a dog
Divorce Attorney Shin, Stranger, Glory, A time called you, See you in my 19th life, A daily dose of sunshine and practically ALL are so worth watching! Bravo South Korea!
A time called you blew me away. That series was very well done.
The glory! Good bad mother and see u in my 19th love have been my favorites
My Dearest is probably the best kdrama I've seen this year, and it could potentially make it to my all-time top 10 list. The synopsis in the video doesn't do justice to the show. It explores very deep and challenging subjects, and the drama becomes darker and darker as it moves forward. So if you’re planning to watch it (which I highly suggest), watch out for some trigger warnings.
I agree. There are very serious relationship, gender roles, socio-economic-status cultural issues, the status of women, trauma, political and more in My Dearest. It's not really a melodrama at all. Incredibly well written and filmed with truly great performances by the leads and the entire supporting cast. The war violence is terrifying. But the uncovering of the mystery of Lord Lee's family origins/history is downright freaking scary. Lady Yoo's transformation is a wonder of acting. It's at the top of my solid love story list--including such beyond kdrama.
It ranks number one for me, it held such deep emotions and the lead cast were so easy on the eye to watch.
안녕하세요 ❤️ 👋
I finished episode 9 yesterday and can't really muster up the courage to watch episode 10, although I know it's a happy ending show, but the emotions till where I have watched were heavy. Not to mention the war scenes are so immaculately done, I have never really paid attention to such scenes, but this show really raised the fear of wars in me.
Can someone suggest me dramas like my dearest ?
and
Twinkling watermelon! 🍉🍉
A time called you and See you in my 19th life 💜❤
A list without 'The Worst of Evil' is not something I approve... 😂😂
The fist drama since Flower of Evil that had me on the edge the whole time. So good!
The fake love trope is such a turn off though
yeah Lee Joon-gi and Ji Chang-Wook...
how did they forget it? Its the first what i am think, if i am. Also Arthdal Chronicles season-2
Yeah right😂😅
Big Bet was one of the best I've watched for this year. One of my top 5 together with Moving, Dr Romantic, Glory and good bad mother.
For me the best 2023 dramas are King The Land, My Lovely Liar and Twinkling Watermelon 😭 It's so sad that no one is talking abour My Lovely Liar and Twinkling Watermelon. These dramas have my heart ❤
Same here
I couldn't finish my lovely liar, was boring to be honest.
@@thejennieR I guess it didn't match your taste. Different people have different taste, ryt? But in my opinion the drama was really good.
My favorite is My Dearest. A masterpiece.
My Dearest is a masterpiece
Extremely agree 🙏
moving
The Glory
The Good Bad mother
Twinkling watermelon
Are my favorite 2023 kdrama
Crash course in Romance yes!!
Sad. Where is Destine With You ang The Worst of Evil? Both dramas are great.
I don't know who ranked these dramas, but if you look at the Korean ratings, No. 19 here, King the Land, scored 13.7% in Korea and Destined Whit You only 3.1%. Both of them are JTBC dramas, therefore had the same chances.
Maybe your favorite dramas are no. 21 and no. 22.

@@chipiuchishi8347 its a 2022 drama
No lie 2023 is like the 2016 junior...the dramas have beeen🎉❤❤
"Destined with You" is among my top favorites and is super entertaining, far better than some of the dramas you've mentioned. It deserves a spot on the list of top-rated Kdramas for 2023.
I was actually gonna question the authenticity of this list if Destined of you was a part of it lol. As much as I loved the actors, the script was very poorly written ngl
@@user-mb4do1lj2l you have your own list and I got mine. No problem. A big part of the success and appeal of Destined with You can be attributed to the smart and hilarious script which was effectively rendered by the leads, especially the male lead. The numerous positive reactions to many of the video clips (of scenes that became so memorable) from the said drama can attest to that fact, so much so, that "Get a grip, Jang Shin Yu," easily became popular and became a favorite buzzword of some sort. lol From any of the 20 top Kdramas listed in this video, can you give me lines in the script that became as popular????? What . . . the scripts were so well written that not even one line can be easily remembered? What a waste lol!
@@lory123ful You say "no problem" but the rest of what you've written certainly reflects the opposite lol. The drama "Destined with you" had its set of hilarious moments, agreed. But that's all it had, the story itself was hollow and did no carry a lot of weight. The female lead was straight out of what you would expect from perhaps a 2014 kdrama, that's how pathetic and pushover of a character she was. The male lead was a red flag for pretty much the whole drama and his cheating was justified by his gf cheating too. I'm sorry but a drama with a few hilarious moments here and there and gorgeous leads does not automatically translate into a good drama. You talk about other dramas in here not having 'iconic' and 'as memorable' lines, well maybe not something someone would remember at the drop of their hat, but at least there were characters with depth and development. Please, the only success this drama had was because of the main leads' acting and visuals.
@@user-mb4do1lj2l I am not saying Destined with You is the best Kdrama or has the best script or the best whatsoever, I was just saying it is included in MY own top list, NOT your list. Yes, your views and mine differ, is that a problem? Well, if you see a problem, that's your prerogative. But I don't see any, meaning it's okay with me that we have different viewpoints. From my end, it's okay to disagree. I am just exercising my freedom to express my own point of view and reactions to your reactions to my initial comment. If I give premium to iconic lines in a drama and their impact on most viewers as a sign of good and smart script (after all dramas for me are primarily for entertainment), that's my own preference, NOT yours (clearly!). I just wish to acknowledge and thank the scriptwriter of Destined with You for writing the impactful lines (as far as I am concerned). The script made my day for so many days. If that is a problem with you, so be it. Peace.
@@lory123ful I agree with you. "Destined with you" may not suit other's taste hence not included in their list, but it it one of the best Kdramas I have repeatedly viewed . Love the characters down to Gi-Dong, and the script .
Bloodhound 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Kim Bum wasn’t a new addition to the Tale of the 9 Nine Tailed 1938, he had a very prominent rôle in the original, as he plays the leading character’s brother.
Indeed!
No one said he's new. What do you mean?
my dearest is the best still waiting the last eps
Twinkling Watermelon, too bad mother, uncanny counter 2, see you in my 19th life, duty after school, moving, escape 7 and the villain in strong girl nam soon just hits different. I need new seasons from this drama. I just can’t forget about em
Just finished watching Moving and it’s one of my faves in 2023! It has action/drama/romance in it definitely a must watch.
It's not on Netflix where to watch?

Would love to see Duty After School
My Dearest "if it sticks the landing haha" and Moving are my favorites so far. But so many great dramas. I have only dropped two this entire year, overall really a fun year.
waiting for airing every week
its a good day to be a dog n moonlight in the day
worth watching 17.11.2023
So, at this point in time did My Dearest "stick the landing" for you? It definitely did for me. What other leading lady steals a "corpse"? Damn.
@@evawojcik617 It really did! She is so awesome 🥹. Loved the ending so much. Right now, my favorite drama of the year
@@MaybeLoveHatemy dearest stick on landing so hard I can't move on😭😭😭
@@jfdhhjkgy same 🥹 It was too wonderful!
I loved A Time Called You too
I loved Divorce attorney shin I am happy with it's rating.Not to forget the first responders season 2 that drama was mind blowing! Revenant truly deserve 9th position this drama is so good with 8.7 rating! Moving was a cute story and definietly a must watch. Too bad that you left out The killing vote
Killing vote started off remarkably, along the line I think with such amount of grip and suspense they had on the audience, they successfully messed up the end. The end wasn't worth remembering.
Reborn rich deserved to be here
💯 Reborn Rich
This list shows how diverse everyone’s preferences are. with all due respect to most of you, Moving does not rank first for me and Uncanny is too good to be at 18th place. My top three from 2023 are *The Worst of Evil* , *Arthdal Chronicles Se-2:Sword of Aramun* , and *The Uncanny Counter Se-2*.
yeah it is up to the choice, i loved uncanny and worst of evil. bt for me moving was complete series. i had all the ingredients.
Your choice is okay too but If you had picked true beauty kind of shitty dramas over MOVING then I might have said something bad out of control 😅😅
@@AliceTayeng
😂😂😂😂😂 Never!!!!!!!!
I like uncanny counter aswell but its nowhere near the level on moving production and story wise.
Twinkling watermelon is best
Yes but it still not 16 ep yet
True
Only for Gen Z.
A time called you was my favorite
My favorites are Tale of the nine-tailed 1938, Dr Romantic season 3, King the land, Arthdal chronicles season 3, A time called you, and Love to hate you.

@@esthernzejiuba8693 …united states- has season 2 released overseas?
@@gerberbabymom78 I'm in Nigeria and the season three has been released since.
Acc to dramalist's rating The worst of evil should have been at 7th/8th in the list.
Why isn't anybody talking about destined with you..? It's just amazing my fav drama of 2023 so far...!
agree.
I felt the exact same way when Bulgasal: Immortal Souls came out. It was my top favorite kdrama for that year, and still in my fav top 3 now. It was never covered at all by mdl. I don't understand why that series was ignored.
I'm shocked heartbeat didn't make the top 20. Vampire Kdramas are rare to come by, especially really well done ones with a good budget and storyline.
King the land was so terrible. Could not finish it. Maybe I’m getting too jaded from these romcom genres.
I got bored within the first few episodes and dropped it
Agreed. Yoona doesn’t tend to have chemistry with her male leads.
none other than "moving", this was so so good series, action, romance, friendship, family, sacrifice, everything is there. such a complete series.
Destined with you if you're a hopeless romantic. Feel good mixed emotions!
Really?... planned to watch it for a while....later due to negative review totally dropped it...
@@nishanthprakasam I just decided to watch it after a long while loosing interest with Kdrama, it finally gain my interest back. It all depends on each individuals preference. I'm pretty hard to please, too. Reviews doesn't really affect me. I need to see and experience it myself.
@@joyluck8901 yeah...that's real... everything present in mindset....I guess you went with a minimal expectation...why I dropped that was... almost most of my favourite kdrama youtubers too sighed...to even watch it....after 5 or 6 episodes...
@@nishanthprakasam Expectation it is! On the other hand, it was totally unexpected that I'll loved this drama. Episode 5 or 6 didn't do it. Not so much on the storyline although it's kinda a breath of fresh air. It's the chemistry and connection of the lead actors. Cuteness and sweetness overload! I perfectly knew it doesn't happen so much in real life but hey that's what entertainment is, to take you out of this real chaotic world. If it happens, there's nothing wrong being a hopeless romantic.
@@joyluck8901 ofcourse.... escaping from the reality....
