The first half of 2014 has seen some excellent dramas, from critical favorites to popular crowd pleasers. So, we compiled a list of the best 15, which includes a historical drama, thrillers, romantic comedies, fantasy and fusion dramas and melodramas. A few are currently running.
Kdramastars wants to know which drama made you the happiest and which stars you think did the best job?
So, we are hosting a poll. You can find the poll above and can vote once a day for your favorite drama, actor and actress. It was hard to narrow it down to just 15 of each but we composed a list based on ratings, enthusiastic response and critical acclaim. In the running are "Inspiring Generation, "You Who Came From The Stars," "Three Days," "Doctor Stranger," "Emergency Couple," "Prime Minister and I," "Empress Ki," "Cunning Single Lady," "You're All Surrounded," "God's Gift - 14 Days,' "I Need Romance," "A New Leaf," "Big Man," "Secret Love Affair" and "One Warm Word."
As of this morning, "Inspiring Generation" led with 36.74 percent of the vote, followed by "You Who Came From The Stars" at 23.51 percent of the vote.
Our apologies if your favorite drama did not make the list, but please do vote anyway to let us know which listed drama you liked the best.
