About
This dataset features the top 250 Korean Dramas, as ranked on the MyDramaList website. It is provided in a CSV file format and is suitable for various data science projects. The collection addresses limitations found in existing datasets, which often had fewer titles (e.g., up to 100) and lacked essential features such as synopsis, tags, director names, cast names, and production company details. It was originally compiled to support the development of a content-based recommender system for Korean Dramas.
