The 2000’s were definitely the heyday of K-dramas, or what constituted the classic genre of K-dramas that spawned the Hallyu wave with Winter Sonata in 2002. But this year is 2024 and K-netizens are using it to reminisce on the 20th anniversary of the 2004 year of K-dramas which when you assemble together is basically a powerhouse year of epic ratings or cult faves that mark many of K-drama viewer’s entre into the genre. In the year 2004, these K-dramas are aired and it’s not even the only ones just the most famous ones and all are doozies: Full House, What Happened in Bali, Lovers in Paris, Sweet 18, Phoenix, Love Story in Harvard, She is Nineteen, Save the Last Dance for Me, Terms of Endearment, and Ireland. A few are my all time faves, some are unforgettable watches, and most are worth watching today in terms of acting and storytelling even if the cinematography and costumes look dated.
