*These are "older" dramas to which I remember the story but not specific details about why I liked/disliked it. Most of these dramas would have probably gotten lower ratings if I re-watched them now, but I have neither the time (or in most cases, the desire) to. Therefore, the ratings are based on how I enjoyed it back then with some influences of I how I feel about it now.
