My top 10 have changed over the years (as I slowly outgrew high school dramas), so this isn’t exactly definitive, but I was amazed to find out the total number I’ve seen is a whopping FIFTY SEVEN. Not to mention the ones that I started and didn’t finish for various reasons.
I know not everyone is as open about this guilty pleasure/escape mechanism as I am, but I know you’re out there, and you know who you are! Thought this might interest you, especially if you’re looking for a few to add to your list to watch. I AM ALSO VERY OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS TO ADD TO MY LIST! The first 10 are my top 10 obviously (also the ones I’ve watched more than once), 11-20 are additional dramas that made me laugh, cry, or laugh/cry a lot, in no particular order, and the rest are in no particular order.
