My Ultimate K-drama Viewing List Part I (2000-2006)

So I've always wanted to compile a list of K-dramas I've watched just for the fun of it. I know I've started many and never finished them, but I'll also include those in as well.

The list will basically be a timeline (using good 'ol friend Wiki). It's not when I watched them because I don't obviously remember.

I think my list will continue to grow, because there's always that desire to go back and watch old dramas.


Year: 2000

All About Eve
Jang Dong Gun, Chae Rim, Kim So Yeon, Han Jae Suk 

I don't really remember much about this show. Something about the two female leads wanting to be reporters or something?

Autumn Tale
Song Hye Gyo, Song Seung Hoon, Won Bin

Classic melo-drama. I remember crying buckets. Watched 2 times.

Year: 2001

Four Sisters 
Chae Rim, Han Jae Suk

I think this was the time Chae Rim was quite popular...

Hotelier
Bae Yong Jun, Song Hye Gyo, Song Yoon Ah, Kim Seung Woo

Another classic! A popular one, part of the "Hallyu" wave.

Mina
Chae Jung Ahn, Kim Sa Rang

I vaguely remember watching this, but it had to do with the main lead filling in for her twin sister as a singer and the conflict in between.

Year: 2002

My Love Pattzi
Jang Nara, Kim Rae Won, Kim Jae Won (gosh they sound like brothers!)

Another classic that boost Jang Nara to fame!

Winter Sonata
Bae Yong Jun, Choi Ji Woo, Park Yong Ha

This is probably the 'classics of classic'. Two famous names that literally were the definition of Hallyu wave back then.

Year: 2003

All In
Lee Byung Hyun, Song Hye Gyo

I remember enjoying the childhood storyline, but the adult storyline got boring so I don't remember continue watching.

Dae Jang Geum
Lee Young Ae, Ji Jin Hee

I don't think anyone doesn't know this show, haha.

Damo
Ha Ji Won, Kim Min Joon

One of my most favourite dramas! I can't express how much I loved this show and Ha Ji Won and Kim Min Joon. She was so extraordinary back then, so it's no wonder she still is!

Stairway to Heaven
Choi Ji Woo, Kwon Sang Woo

Another classic and tear-jerker.

Year 2004:

Lovers in Paris
Kim Jung Eun, Park Shin Yang, Lee Dong Gun

I never finished this show. But I remember I always wanted Lee Dong Gun to get the female lead. So typical of K-drama second-lead syndrome.

What Happened in Bali
Ha Ji Won, Jo In Sung, So Ji Sub

A lot of people said this drama was really good so I decided to give it a try last summer. Perhaps because this type of plot was new and fresh back then, but after watching countless shows with this poor-girl-rich-guy storyline, I kind of got tired of it.

Year: 2005

Fashion 70's
Lee Yo Won, Jo Jin Moo, Kim Min Jung, Chun Jung Myung

Watched this just last year and it has become one of my favourite Lee Yo Won dramas.

My Name is Kim Sam Soon
Kim Sun Ah, Hyun Bin

A popular drama, I thought was mediocore.

My Girl
Lee Da Hye, Lee Dong Wook,

Quirky and fun, is all I remember.


Year:2006
Goong
Joo Ji Hoon, Yoon Eun Hye

Never finished it, despite how popular it was.

Hwang Jin Yi
Ha Ji Won, Kim Jae Won

Another Ha Ji Won drama I loved! Except for I thought Kim Jae Won did not fit in a saeguk.

Rude Women/ Outrageous Women
Yoo Ho Jung, Lee Ki Woo, Kim Bum

This was actually quite a pleasant watch. I remember first watching it in Hong Kong, dubbed.

Tree of Heaven
Park Shin Hye, Lee Wan

The only drama I liked Park Shin Hye in. I remember this was quite a sad drama though...

Total watched:20
