Underrated Dramas

TV & Movies K-Dramas

Underrated dramas always tend to be my favorites. For instance, in my Top 5 favorites I have Stars Falling From the Sky and Oh! My Lady. Both of these are not very popular BUT THEY ARE SO GOOD I COULD GO ON FOR DAYS ABOUT THESE TWO. OMG.

Anyway, I would just love to know of any other underrated dramas that are actually super good!! ^^

one that i would say is really underrated and never heard about is operation proposal. though the begining was REALLY slow (not the 1st episodes but a bit after) and the plot seemed too repetitive, the episodes starting at ep. 9 where WOW! REALLY GOOD! it finally started getting somewhere and even made me cry. it got sooo good. i was shocked. read some of the reviews at this page (when you pass the plot and go to towards the bottom) :

i love learning about underrated stuff! a tiawanese i would say is underrated (and old) is called “hi my sweetheart”. great drama. fab.

i absolutely LOVED shut up flower boy band. i havent seen what’s up though i saw the 1st episode a while ago. @lutra is it really really good? i might see it soon. i lovee music dramas. sadly, there isnt many :confused:

I liked What’s Up?
But it’s often hard to tell, if others will like it the same.
I will write down, which music related dramas I saw and liked or didn’t. I can’t mention those I didn’t see.
LIKED:
WHAT’S UP?, SHUT UP, FLOWER BOY BAND, MONSTAR, SHARK ( so far - uncompleted j-drama)
DIDN’T LIKE:
HEARTSTRINGS (as a drama, liked the music though),

Under rated/underexposed in my opinion (and are available here @ Viki) are:

Bad Love (all but ep 20 has english subs)

Reputable Family

12

I think this was one of the best ever. Totally would say it’s above the standard drama.

13

I second “Miss Korea” for underrated drama. It was over shadowed by My Love from the Star, which aired at the same time.

Thanks for recommending Oh! My Lady. I really liked it. The kid was just too adorable.

15

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! ^^

Nine nine time travels and Padam Padam. Those dramas were perfection. Perfect acting, complex characters, a lot of emotions and suspense(well, especially for Nine nine but Padam has some too).

And I agree with Miss Korea. Again, I loved how complex the characters were. How most of them had both qualities and flaws. And I loved Madame Cha and her ‘‘enemy’’.

@lutra @Niennavalar @melliebean_2 it seems that lots of people at viki are currently watching or just finished Shut up flower BB.! i can say it was one of my favorite dramas. its cool that people are recognizing it now, because i think allot of people overlooked it in the past, for whatever reason.i even remember not being interested with it at first, smacks own hand in disbelief SO glad i continued it. it got so good.

just found this fan-made vid and thought “how cool and interesting it would have been if byung hee didnt die and got the girl
?” i always loved him as an almost-lead in this show more then the other guy (tho i like him too.) he was such a bad boy, i loved it. x(

they couldve had allot of chemistry.

LOL - I watched it, when it was airing, it’s one of my favorites. I like rock music and I like dramas centered in the musical field, so this was perfect for me.
I advertise it to people who seem interested where ever I go.
Btw. which song is it? The video doesn’t work in my country. Jaywalking f.e. is the only Korean song ever who made it onto my really old mp3 player, since I only put rock on it.

ahhh so you already experienced the awesomeness from the beginning! very cool. i love allot of music, and i love rock too. i like when they are centered in music too!! im looking for more of those types. im thinking about “whats up” and i hope there is more out there and that they make more music related dramas!! i also heard there’s one called “the musical”, with go hye sun, havent watched it tho. :

hahahaha “advertise” i do the same lol

yes!!! i have all kpop and osts in my ipod only, and jaywalking is definitely on there. as soon as i heard it, it went on my ipod.

the song? aww i hate when that happens :confused: well,(really recomend hearing it if you didnt) its a rock song called “beautiful love” by the afters. THAT went onto my ipod today. haha

When we are asked to choose the best, worst, etc dramas, I always think that I forgot to name some dramas
 I have seen too much dramas.

  • What’s up : the story wasn’t clear but I loved the characters and the actors ( Jo Jung Suk is one of my favourite actor !)
  • Heartless City
  • Que Sera, Sera
  • Cain and Abel
  • Padam Padam
 The Sound of His and Her Heartbeats

For now
