2021 Best Korean Dramas (So Far!)

Who Am I? A simple guy who's been watching dramas for a long time.

What's the point of this list?  Since the Korean media has always been giving awards and recognition to only dramas that have a certain popularity, I will put, according to all what I know about dramas, the making of it and the all the work behind, wich nomination and special mentions I think some of these dramas deserved.

  • This season started on January 1st and will end on December 31, althought some dramas will be airing till February from the next year, the season will end when the last drama aired on 2021 finished.
  • I've fully watched every drama on this list and I'm currently watching the ones airing.
  • Sort by: Random.
  • I will add upcoming dramas.

Rules for each category:

  • The maximum number of nominated dramas or people will be 10, being 10 the max. but not neccessarily the total number, if I think a category doesn't  have enough contenders the number can be lower.
  • Actor(s) will be separated in weekly and daily dramas with an exception for the category "Best young Male and Female actor".
  • Each category will have notes to clarify what's my criteria for selection.
  • A drama can have at least 2 contenders for "Best Soundtrack" but if both are from the same artist only one can be chosen, the same artist can be nominated if has been working on the soundtrack for two different dramas.
  • A drama or people can be replaced for another one if I consider that an actor or drama airing deserves a place on a certain list.

So tell me, wich are your favorite K-dramas from this year?

Also if you know some that aren't on this list let me know!

    SO without any doubt this is not only beyond evil but beyond every other K-drama!

    Acting is insane, like, how many years passed since I haven't feel goosebumps with some acting! Direction, screenplay, acting, setting, story telling, sound mixing, sound edition, lightning, all 10/10!

    Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    9.0

    THIS is not higher because Beyond Evil happens! Everything is flawless from acting to soundtrack, the drama is well placed, the comedy is well placed, the characters are memorables.

    I feel very attached to the story but that's going to go to my review.

  • Navillera

    13. Navillera

    Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes

    9.0

    So with only a few episodes this one won my heart, I call out so many people complaining about Song Kang's acting, he was great on Sweet Home and he's proving to all those people how wrong they were.

  • Vincenzo

    14. Vincenzo

    Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes

    8.0

    Why Vincenzo is not higher? Here's why... Vincenzo starts setting up the story to be dramatic, then after a few episodes it gets too comedic and then it gets satirished or trying to be, I love over the top characters and all of them are terrific actors but the whole mood is... weird.

  • L.U.C.A.: O Começo

    15. L.U.C.A.: O Começo

    Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes

    8.0

    It was flawless and then flop hard.

    Techinically this was superb, probaly one of my two favorited edited K-dramas of this year

  • Miss Montecristo

    16. Miss Montecristo

    Korean Drama - 2021, 100 episodes

    8.0

    I'm a huge fan of revenge dramas, this reminds me so much to those released in the early 00, so over the top but great acting!

    This is heavy stuff, it's drama, not even a moment of comedic relief so it can be dropped by a lot of people so fast, good acting tho, is not higher because the story line wasn't my cup of tea.
