Out of 10, onky 3 are probably well written, out of which 2 maybe watchable as they are instead of the hype accompanying it.
stopped Attorney Woo midway, i personally think its over-rated
If Crash Landing On You isn’t there, it’s not a real list.
Is’nt Crash Landing the year before thus not in the list?
hmm…only completed Squid Game and that’s likely because I managed to watch all in one sitting. Have I watched it on various days, might not have continued. The rest are either dropped/ skipped episodes in between or totally giving the entire drama a miss.
