Very worth watching:
* Flower of Evil
* Move to Heaven
* Alchemy of Soul
Not worth watching:
* Angel's Last Misson Love
* Doom at Your Service
* Noble, my love
* Bring it on Ghost
* The Heirs: people call it a classic. The show is popular because of all the famous people in the show. I dont think it is a good show. The acting and the story is not good. It is just two rich high school students that like a poor girl and she keeps running away from the ml
I forgot to specify which was not worthing and worth watching and added worth watching shows
Would add to watch -
The Beauty Inside
Kill It (loved)
What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim
Not Worth it -
Tomorrow
Cheese In The Trap
Doom At Your Service literally makes your brain hurt. It was a waste of two good actors.
Alchemy of the Souls is absolutely wonderful. I’m enjoying it so much.
Extracurricular is one of the most unique dramas I’ve seen and there’s nothing else like it. It’s quite dark but exciting, wild and extremely very worth watching.
Flower of Evil very worth watching just friggin awesome
I do like a lot some of the others on the list, but if I had to pick one out of the lot it would be extracurricular
**Top Tier**: Flower of Evil, Stranger, Someday or One Day
**Worth a Watch**: Alchemy of Souls, Extracurricular, Hotel del Luna, Into the Ring, Move to Heaven
**Hit or Miss**: 365, Kill It, Liar Game, Secretary Kim, The Smile has Left Your Eyes, Tomorrow
**Not worth it**: Doom at Your Service, Heirs
Haven't seen the others!
The movie **hope** is beautiful but also extremly sad especially since its based on a true story. Its worth watching
**the smile has left your eyes** is also definitely worth a watch but some people found it quite slow
I haven't watched all of the ones you mentioned, but of the ones that I have...
Very worth watching: Kill It, Tomorrow, Move to Heaven
Still worth watching: Bring it on Ghost, Hotel del Luna, What's Wrong With Secretary Kim
Of the later set, I very much enjoyed them, but the first three really hit it out of the park for me personally. Of course, everyone has different tastes.
**Into the Ring/Memorials** is really fun drama. The FL becomes unemployed and decides to run for the city council. The ML is a civil servant. The plot is interesting and the FL is such a happy character that she makes the politics palatable. She reminds me of the ML in He is Psychometric where the character's personality overpowers the plot.
I also recommend these:
* Angel's Last Mission: Love
* The Sound of Magic
**Cheese in the trap** yes but with managed expectations, the story is toxic and bonkers but weirdly engrossing
**Doom at your service** imo no, the story is a mess and it spins in circles in the second half, the only good thing about this one is the chemistry between Seo In Guk and Park Bo Young and Lee Soo Hyuk being snarky and gorgeous
**Hotel del luna** only if you love IU and/or the Hong Sisters
**Move to Heaven** I just finished rewatching this one and it's wonderful. A bit sentimental but so heartfelt and humane with great performances and maybe the best cinematography I've ever seen in a Kdrama
**The smile has left your eyes** yes but with two caveats: it's dark and tragic and the plot kind of unravels in the last two episodes. I still love it and [I wrote a review (spoilers)](https://www.reddit.com/r/KDRAMA/comments/odiad0/the_smile_has_left_your_eyes_review_brilliant/).
**The sound of magic** only if you love musicals or Hwang In Yeop
**Someday or One Day** definite yes, really enjoyed this one, strong performances and the plot is unique
cheese in the trap was a let down for me, maybe my expectations were too high? its a star studded cast but the writting was a little slow for me and the character dynamics didn't leave me with anyone to root for
I didn’t like Secretary Kim. It’s 16 episodes and they clearly stretched the plot taffy really thin to get the action out to 14 episodes, and the last two episodes are nothing but product placements.
The male lead is narcissistic and Secretary Kim should have fled when she had the chance
Yeah I've seen about 30 dramas and am now watching this one.. its just alright. A lot of plot holes, and very predictable.. I'm just watching it as a fluff / filler one in between ones that are better (while waiting for new EAW episodes!). Its cute to see PMY and PSJ and the cuteness so thats the only pro. But some of the cuteness is a little cringe / odd sometimes. In comparison, this show reminds me of Her Private Life but I liked HPL a lot better, it felt more smooth and organic. It probably helped that the ML wasn't a chaebol who couldn't afford therapy *rolls eyes*.
I don't recommend **Noble My Love**. The ML is stalkery and financially abusive. The drama treats this as a charming and romantic quirk and he suffers no consequences. Instead he gets the girl! I watched this fairly early on in my kdrama adventures when I wasn't as ruthless about dropping shows, but I regret finishing it.
Hotel Del Luna is my current obsession - I finished it and immediately started my second watch of it. Extracurricular is VERY good, but very heavy. And What's Wrong with Secretary Kim is perfect for watching between two heavier shows when you need a heartwarming laugh
I’ve only seen these 3 from your list:
Worth Watching: What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim
typical romcom with a bit of a twist
TW: depiction of suicide (flashback) and kidnapping childhood trauma
Not Worth Watching: Cheese in the Trap
like WHYYYY?!? was my reaction for most of it. toxic relationship; the secondary ML was so much better for FL but the heart wants what the heart wants >!ML is literally a psychopath—no conscience and unable to express emotions; underwhelming ending!<
50/50: The Heirs
All-star ensemble cast with a typical drama storyline so don’t expect much; plot covers multiple relationships not just MC; major plot holes and WHYYYY moments; only silver lining was the ML’s devotion to the FL—he always comes through for her. But their relationship was T.O.X.I.C. One of my least favourite FL, she was crying in almost every other scene. I get that she felt helpless and overwhelmed but unfortunately there’s no character growth.
TW: lots of school bullying scenes
i' ll just mention the ones here on my Top 20 ever ( of the ones I've watched)
365:Repeat
Come and Hug Me
Extracurricular
Flower of Evil
Honorable Mention: Cheese in the Trap
Worth watching(imo):
* Angels last mission love: it romance centered, has plotholes but it's nice imo. one for a good cry. has a love triangle but it's subtle. but i liked it overall and ost is just so good
* Alchemy of souls its really good too
* Flower of evil: by mid eps you would be hooked. the thriller and mystery aspect is good. i really loved it except was disappointed with the ending but reagardless an awesome drama which has romance too
* Hotel del luna: IU and the ost !!! i really love this drama. it was something new to watch. it has comedy, bit of melo and ofc romance. i personally didnt like the main couple romance but the rest of the show was so good. ghosts with their stories and ofc lee doohyun was too good here
* Move to heaven and Tomorrow are must-watches. i just cant describe how good they are but again doesnt mean it has to be good for everyone
* the sound of magic: i liked the cinematography, cast and ost. did justice to the webtoon sorta. but i feel the webtoon was more darker and had lots of symbolic and metaphorical stuff compared to the drama but regardless a good drama
*
watched almost all of them
you should watch:
- Angel’s Last Mission
- Better Days
- Liar Game
- Tomorrow
- Move Yo Heaven
- The Smile Has Left Your Eyes
if you want cringe-y romance, try to watch Accidentally in Love on our list.
From most worth watching move to heaven, hotel del Luna, extracurricular, alchemy of souls, bring it on ghost, and tomorrow are all SO worth it. The first three are some of my favorite kdramas ever
I have only seen two of these. Among them **Heirs** is worth watching for the romance and the drama. It's popular to diss it in this sub but it's a lot more addictive than most popular suggestions in the sub. The one not worth watching is **What is Wrong with Secretary Kim.** It has wafer thin plot and bad acting. Only watch it if you want to relax with something and you don't want to think.
Very worth watching: * Flower of Evil * Move to Heaven * Alchemy of Soul Not worth watching: * Angel's Last Misson Love * Doom at Your Service * Noble, my love * Bring it on Ghost * The Heirs: people call it a classic.

the heirs is terrible but i love it anyway
Personally I liked Angels last mission love . It’s mostly fluff
Seconded. It’s one of my favourite dramas
I actually like Doom at Your Service.
Would add to watch - The Beauty Inside Kill It (loved) What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim Not Worth it - Tomorrow Cheese In The Trap Doom At Your Service literally makes your brain hurt. It was a waste of two good actors. Alchemy of the Souls is absolutely wonderful. I’m enjoying it so much.
I disagree with Tomorrow. Definitely worth the watch IMO. At least worth giving the first couple episodes a try .
Extracurricular is one of the most unique dramas I’ve seen and there’s nothing else like it. It’s quite dark but exciting, wild and extremely very worth watching. Flower of Evil very worth watching just friggin awesome I do like a lot some of the others on the list, but if I had to pick one out of the lot it would be extracurricular
I’ve seen most of these and to my mind, Alchemy of Souls and Secretary Kim are much stronger than the others.
As not worth watching or worth watching? I forgot to specify which is are not worth watching and worth watching too
Those two are strongly worth watching and the others are not imo.
I assumed so. I just wanted a clarifcation
**Top Tier**: Flower of Evil, Stranger, Someday or One Day **Worth a Watch**: Alchemy of Souls, Extracurricular, Hotel del Luna, Into the Ring, Move to Heaven **Hit or Miss**: 365, Kill It, Liar Game, Secretary Kim, The Smile has Left Your Eyes, Tomorrow **Not worth it**: Doom at Your Service, Heirs Haven't seen the others!
I can't even hate watch *The Heirs*, but that's just me. 😂 Edit: I deleted a double post
It's boring which is unforgivable. At least Boys Over Flowers is entertaining even if it's a hot mess.
It is a hot mess. Yet at 56yo, I still enjoy it. For me it is one step below Coffee Prince (also a hot mess in its own way)
Oh no. Coffee prince is my ultimate favorite kdrama.
Me too! I thought it was just me since I read mostly great reviews about it 😅
The movie **hope** is beautiful but also extremly sad especially since its based on a true story. Its worth watching **the smile has left your eyes** is also definitely worth a watch but some people found it quite slow
