Ask anyone deep into K-Dramas and C-Dramas what the hard part is. They won’t say the watching. Remembering where you paused Crash Landing on You, what episode of Business Proposal your friend swore you had to start with, and which Netflix tab held Hidden Love is what quietly gets impossible. The Excel Asian Drama Tracker is a kdrama tracker spreadsheet built for that exact problem.
Before this tracker, your viewing lived in five places. Notes app. Screenshots. A streaming watchlist on Netflix. A second one on Viki. The memory of an actor you couldn’t name from a show you couldn’t place. Episode numbers blurred. Ratings you meant to write down never got written. The fun stayed. The bookkeeping fell apart.
The Excel Asian Drama Tracker collapses all of that into eight tabs. The Shows tab catalogs up to 500 dramas with photos, genre, country, year, seasons, episodes, platform, and watch status. You rate each one across five dimensions: Overall, Story, Acting, Production, and OST. That’s no longer a “did I like it?” guess — it’s a real record.
The Episodes tab tracks up to 500 individual episodes with the show, episode number, episode title, a personal rating, and notes. The Actors tab builds profiles for the performers you keep recognizing — photos, interest level, country, gender, birth place, birth date, age, and the shows from your tracker they appear in. Spot a familiar face, find them in seconds. The Critic Ratings tab logs review scores from sites like MyDramaList and Rotten Tomatoes with the show, review site, rating, max rating, type of reviews, and a direct site URL.
The Journal tab turns daily viewing into a record. Log each session with date, show, platform, minutes watched, and notes, against a monthly hours goal. A progress chart covers the past week. Summary stats show activity for the current week and month. The Dashboard pulls it all into one view: total shows tracked, shows completed, total episodes tracked, total time spent watching, actors tracked, total critic ratings, and what you’re currently watching. Bar charts rank your top-rated shows next to the critics’ favorites. A pie chart shows which dramas have critic ratings attached and which don’t.
What vanishes: the scattered notes, the half-remembered ratings, the “wait, where have I seen her before?” moment. What stays: one Excel Asian Drama Tracker file that holds your shows, episodes, actors, critic ratings, journal, and dashboard. Google Sheets and Notion versions are bundled in, so you can switch tools without rebuilding anything. The kdrama tracker spreadsheet is fully editable, runs offline in Microsoft Excel, and has nothing to subscribe to.
