19 Best Romantic Teen Dramas, Ranked

Before you even read what follows, just know that you’ll probably disagree with it.

By their very design, teen dramas are meant to hit everybody differently because no one had the same experience growing up. We latch onto certain characters because we want to be them or be with them at that moment in our lives. We relate to different stories because our experiences — good and bad — color in the blanks of a show’s broad-stroke storytelling. And, of course, we fall head over heels for couples because we crave the kind of love they managed to find in the most awkward time of our lives.
