K-DRAMA REVIEWS INDEX
Check your bucket list for K-Dramas you might have missed, but should have watched!
Here is the list of my team’s collated reviews of Korean dramas and films as well as other Asian dramas and movies. Note that the list includes what we intend to review, and to keep our sanity, we pick our drama battles. Some stories tested our patience, or don’t have a legit streaming platform. Thus, we can’t cover them.
Kindly note that I follow a January to November drama calendar with all dramas ending before the year ends included in the roster.
As always, this page will be updated when we finish watching new K-Dramas. I have included the reviews I wrote on Hellokpop since most of the dramas I saw from 2017 are there. K-Drama reviews prior was published on my blog, and some have been repackaged and published on Hellokpop as well.
*Some of abbyinhallyuland’s reviews are not yet published on this new site and this page is still being updated.
