Score: 10/10

3. A Glória

All I can say is that, this is the drama that roped my direct and extended family (a.k.a locals) into watching K-dramas

4. Sunny
Korean Movie - 2011
-
5. Com Você
Chinese Drama - 2016, 24 episodes
Will always be in my top 5 no matter what you ask me. This was very touching and it felt so realistic and maybe that's why I fell for it.
The teenage years felt very grounded, yes this is a rom-com but it focused on so much more of what shapes a regular teenager's life. From family, to studies, to love, to friendships the writers were able to capture all that and more and explore it in a beautiful and nostalgic way
Score: 10/10

6. Bem-vindos a Waikiki
Korean Drama - 2018, 20 episodes
Probably the be comedy show in kdrama-land. It's so good and filled with laughter from start to finish.

Score: 10/10

7. O Drama da Minha Vida
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
Awesome OST, if anyone ever ask me for the perfectly balanced drama, I'll always recommend this. There isn't one member of the main ensemble I didn't end up liking, in fat I became a fan of each and everyone of them.
Score: 10/10

10. A Manhã Vem à Ala Mental
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
-
11. Move to Heaven
Korean Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
-
12. Rainha Cheorin
Korean Drama - 2020, 20 episodes
A rollercoaster of laughter and so many interesting moments, which is so baffling cause if you're like me you'd expect a ton of drama but instead we got the queen and king making us roll on the ground.
It's basically the drama that made me give period dramas a try, an it had to be the isekai'd drama lol. Would be a ten if not for the ending.
Score:9.5/10

13. Oi Vênus
Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes
You want fluffy? Skinship? Flirty but light on the drama? Barely any external conflict or dumb misunderstandings? Feel even more single and alone than before?
This is the drama for you lmao. Idk why it's not a 10, maybe caution for when I rewatch it?
Score: 9.5/10

14. O Dia de Se Tornar Você
Chinese Drama - 2021, 26 episodes
Score: 9.5/10
-
15. Pyramid Game
Korean Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
I think this has to be my best watch in 2024 in terms of kdramas; it was really well written and I loved our main female lead. Although it had little discrepancies here and there, I know I will rremember this one as one of my most fun and thrilling watches of this year if not ever.

21. In-House Marriage Honey
Japanese Drama - 2020, 7 episodes
If you know you know.
I have rewatched this 4 times and it was released in 2020 (now 2022) meaning I've watched it 2 times since 2021. Bro I even went as far as to buy the untranslated manga cause it's that good and too short.
Score: 7.5/10

22. Gogh, A Noite Estrelada
Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes
I wouldn't say this is my all time favorite and I'm sure there are dramas which surpass this one's ratings that I have watched, but I added this one here because of it's high rewatchability...goodness from the first time I saw it, I knew this was a rewatchable gem. I have seen it every year at least twice, it's become a staple for me
Score: 7/10
