This is a risky choice in this list as it will make you feel the pain of heartbreak every time you remember this Kdrama. Yes, even the memory of Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo is painful and the only cure is a sequel which fans are still waiting for! The plot is beautiful and is a ride which will take you lower and lower as the show proceeds.

She is living at her brother-in-law’s house, who is a prince which leads to her getting in contact with the other princes.
