So what is it?

This repository is a personal Korean drama recommendation list, written in Chinese. The description translates to "Korean Drama Viewing Handbook" and the content organizes highly rated shows by genre. The list covers four categories. Survival and mystery includes Squid Game (both seasons) and a military drama about deserter tracking. Revenge dramas include The Glory (two seasons), which focuses on school bullying, and Mask Girl, described as a story full of unexpected twists. Romance and healing dramas include the well-known Reply series (1988, 1997, and 1994), along with a couple of more recent titles. Historical dramas include the zombie period series Kingdom and a period romance called The Red Sleeve. At the bottom, the README links to a third-party streaming site where the listed shows can be watched, with direct search links for several titles. There is no code in this repository. It is a static reference document for Chinese-speaking viewers looking for curated Korean drama recommendations.
