#1.  Cheese in the Trap – Romantic Drama

Starring Kim Go Eun and Park Hae Jin.  This one takes the first place on the list of the best Korean dramas for one reason. I love it. It takes the viewer in a drama that gets you up and down at every turn. It’s a roller coaster. At the beginning, it stars with so much excitement and a fast pace. Then, bam! down you go in the next half.

Great storyline, characters, and an amazing cast. The story starts revolves around Hong Seol. She is returning to school after taking a semester off, and of course, she is one of the top students in the business department at the University. Few people know the reason behind her taking a semester off and leaving school. A guy Yoo Jung, wealthy, handsome and charitable to everyone. He is the type of guy that likes everyone because everyone likes him back. A good guy, or so we think. Hong Seol discovered he has a darker side and had felt bad vibes from him to her because of this.

Instead of telling everyone who he really is or dealing directly with him, Seol thought it was a better idea to just leave the school for a brief period of time. Asides from this, when she returns to school she has to deal with many problems. Stalkers, deadbeat classmates, another girl trying to steal her identity and her very own family problems.

I will definitely re-watch some of them this week. Maybe if I binge-watch them all I can cramp them into just one week! I sure hope so.
