As I mentioned in the other thread, the first two that came to mind were ‘Goblin’, and ‘Squid Game’, oh and ‘Flower of Evil’. I am certain there are others, too.

Well i kinda agree with your list… ive only watched DOTS, Moonlight Drawn By Clouds, and K2 from the dramas you mentioned
DOTS is one of my all time favorite dramas but for some reason, I see that many of you don’t like it, so I won’t say anything.
I only started K2 brcause I wanted to see more of badass JCW, so you might want to wait for a push like that 
I can vouch for the plot, though. I’ve never enjoyed politics but this one was really interesting
Moonlight Drawn By Clouds is my favorite Korean historical drama, and I don’t like historical kdramas. I adored this one for Park Bo Gum. His role was amazing, showing rhe growth of a true king. The cast was awesome and I liked most of it. Yes, the angst increased towards the end, but it was still a fun show.

It’s not about liking it or not, I didn’t even read much about it, or watched trailers, somehow I am just not interested.
For example there are dramas many liked, and it took me years to watch them like Pinocchio, that one was an okay watch for me, but not as memorable. Then there is Encounter and this one was a bit harder to finish for me, the highlight for me was Cuba.

I understand… it took me a very long time to start watching While You Were Sleeping, but I adore the drama now

Of all the dramas mentioned here by now, I have watched exactly 1.
Back when I was only a viewer, I just watched whatever caught my attention, initially mostly K-dramas, later I wondered off to some other countries as well. And nowadays, most of the shows I watch are things I work on. I never pay attention to which dramas are popular or not.

You have several on your list that would be on mine too, especially the Penthouses and Sky Castles of the world. Not at all interested in that genre.

Yeah, I’m not into those family power struggle melodrama type of dramas. The rest just didn’t interest me as for as plot went. Maybe I’ll watch some in the future but they’re not on a watch list or anything.
They’re all highly rated which makes me not want to watch them more. Don’t want to expect too much and be disappointed. lol

Out of your list, I have finished 2, and started and dropped 2 others. Otherwise, I am also not interested in the rest you mentioned.

Of your list, I’ve watched only one - Flower of Evil. And it’s one of my all-time top shows - I hardly ever watch this genre but LJG lured me and it was worth it(all right, I confess I watched it even though it was R-rated and I wasn’t 18 yet - in my defense, I didn’t know it was rated R until I was totally invested in the show). It’s actually a second-chance-ish romance disguised as a psychological thriller. The writers themselves said they just wanted to write a story about what happens when a couple get married and start a family without really knowing each other. They just heightened the stakes and the thrill aspect by making the ML a suspected murderer/psychopath and the FL a detective hot on his trail.
I loved the cat-and-mouse style plot and the solid marriage-based plot. It also got my heart racing, wishing he would get caught for their marriage’s sake, but at the same time hoping he could get away without getting caught for thrill’s sake. I loved both the lead characters. They were so so good. Made me fall in love with both Moon Chae Won and Lee Joon Gi.

FOE is one of the dramas from my list I might watch in the future. Now that you mentioned there is romance. ^-^ That’s an incentive to watch it. hehehe

It’s not that romance is one of the genres… the whole thing IS a romance It’s basically about undying love - a guy fighting his demons and traumas while putting up a brave front because that’s how much he loves his wife and daughter. He wants to be everything they think he is, and so he hides his entire past - until the fateful day when his well put-together appearance is pulled off. His wife is a detective who completely believes in him, not because she’s stupid or weak, but because her love makes her want to believe him. The choices she makes, the decisions she takes… such a strong character.
I feel like the advertisements and promotions all focused a little too much on the psychological thriller part, and so hardcore thriller fans were disappointed, while romance fans found themselves liking it. For the first time in my drama-watching life, the ML was a blurred character, and we had to choose whether to trust him or not.

That’s even better!
His character reminds me of Jang Ki Yong’s character in Born Again. It was difficult for viewers to choose whether we like him or are scared of him. Lol

Naturally, it will!
I think I watched 3-4, these two I know for sure as
Flower of Evil was gripping
Mr. Queen was entertaining enough to watch, but in the long run unfortunately not that memorable for me.

Right, there’s so many that aren’t our cup of tea.
And a lot that I did try to watch but dropped. (I didn’t add those to the list) It would be as long as a kite string if I did. lol

You can also keep it on MDL… it’s perfect to keep all our dramas, ratings, custom lists, notes, watchlist, dropped list, on-hold list… and it also calculated a lot of stats for you, like the number of days you’ve spent watching dramas, your most watched tags, etc.
