KDramas I need to watch before 2016 ends!

So, as you know, I'm a kdrama addict and I'm a proud kpop fan! I started watching dramas with my sisters way way back Bright Girl and Stairway to Heaven and Full House and since then we never stopped watching! We fell in love from that moment we first watched and with it we found our way to the Kpop world. Now my sister is addict with SUPER JUNIOR and I'm not saying I didn't fangirl with her (I did!) but I guess I'm past that stage where kpop idols were my world. I'm more of a kdrama girl now but kpop is still in my blood.

Let's get to the part where I tell you some of my favorite kdramas. Of course my top 10 include the dramas of Lee Min ho, Lee Jong suk, Kim Woo bin, Kim Soo hyun, Han Hyo joo, Son Ye jin, Park Shin ye, Song Seung heon and Ji Chang wook. I love them all so expect that I've watch, if not all then almost all, their dramas! To give you an idea, here's what my list looks like without any particular order because if only I can put them all in #1! :P

1. City Hunter (Lee Min Ho & Park Min Young)
2. I Hear Your Voice (Lee Jong suk and Lee Bo young)
3. Faith (Lee Min ho & Kim See sun)
4. Healer (Ji Chang wook & Park Min young)
5. Pinocchio (Lee Jong suk & Park Shin hye)
6. My Love From The Star (Kim Soo hyun & Jun Ji hyun)
7. Master's Sun (So Ji sub & Gong Hyo jin)
8. School 2013 & School 2015 (Lee Jong suk & Kim Woo bin / Kim So hyun, Nam Joo hyuk and Yook Sungjae)
9. Full House (Rain & Song Hye kyo)
10. Kill Me, Heal Me (Ji sung & Hwang Jung eum)

And I can go on if you want but I'm afraid it would take a long time to finish the list. Moving on, I've listed some other great dramas that I need to watch before the year ends.
