    Something I whole heartedly recommend watching is " W " ! It is SO good. It's about a girl whose father is a webtoon author who keeps trying to kill off the main character because of him "swallowing" him, but heroine keeps foiling the plot he writes by landing inside the webtoon and saving main character everytime. If anyone likes angsty romance with good comedy, you have to watch W 🥺

    Crash Landing on You was also my reintroduction to Kdrama! It's still my most favorite compared to Start Up- Han Ji Pyeong ❤️!, Mr. Queen - also super good, 100 Days My Prince- meh, Rookie Historian-meh, and currently keeping up with Vincenzo- so so good!

  • @jemnem7234
    @jemnem7234 3 роки тому +10

    My one recommendation for anyone who is looking for a feel-good, lighthearted drama would be Weightlifting Kim Bok Joo. It has been my favourite drama since it aired in 2016. It has amazing production, aesthetics are amazing, the chemistry between the actors is immaculate, I've also never laughed and cried as much as I did when i watched that drama. That will always be my no.1 recommendation.
    One drama that is airing currently is Nevertheless, which is on Netflix (it currently has one episode) and oh my god, a drama has never hooked me so quick. It has very realistic romance between the two main characters, but its so intriguing because we only see it from the females perspective, so there is an air of mystery around the male character.. i would highly recommend watching the first episode of that drama. :)
    Other recommendations include
    -Love in the Moonlight (historical)
    -Descendants of the Sun (medical/action)
    -Healer (action)
    -Hotel De Luna (fantasy)
    -D-Day (Medical)
    -Uncontrollably Fond (you can only watch this once... that's all I'm going to say)
    -A Love so Beautiful ([not the Korean version - the Chinese version...] school/melodrama)

    I also recommend Backstreet Rookie, you can watch it here on UA-cam! At first it may seem kind of crazy with some of the fighting scenes going over the top with effects, but it’s honestly such a great series!
    It’s about a girl who is always defending others from bullies and most of the time gets in trouble until she meets a guy and falls in love at first sight. A couple years later, she starts working at the convenience store he manages and learns that violence isn’t always the answer.
    The other thing I love about this show is that all of the side characters also have their own stories and it focuses a lot on the importance of family and friends later on in the series and honestly gets sooo cute. I’ve been thinking of rewatching it (though I doubt it’ll be my first time watching it again.) I haven’t watched many K-Drama’s and I was gonna give up on it at first but I’m so glad I didn’t cause it’s one of the few shows that’s made me cry.

    i loved how the drama touched down on topics that most kdramas wouldnt. the struggles of being a foreigner in south korea (especially a foreigner of colour), being transgender, i also loved the both main leads acting i thought it was perfect.
    the show teaches you many great lessons. such as: dont let someone even if they are of higher status than you step on your dignity, DONT LET ANGER LEAD TO VIOLENCE, be considerete and thoughtful of the people around you, dont let anyone tell you that you cant reach your dreams, PATIENCE PAYS OFF, EMBRACE DIFFERENCES, Bullying others will lead to karma, FOLLOW YOUR GUT, value the people around you and many more! drama is great 10/10 i loved it so much and recommended people to watch it first instead of listening to others opinion because you might be surprised!

The popstar has an accident before signing with a large male group, so his assistant finds his twin sister and persuades her to pretend to be her brother for just a day so she can sign the contract. Come to find out, her brother ends up taking longer than expected to recover, so she has to pretend to be him for a lot longer than expected.

    when the camellia blooms is a must watch. I have watched like over 60-70 k-dramas since i started 3 years ago. I have always had my favorites like strong woman do bong soon, and weightlifting fairy kim bok joo, but then when I watched when the camellia blooms, I was like WAAW. This drama literally has everything. Crime, romance, drama, comedy. The male lead is just the sweetest and let me tell you about the feel like DAAAMN. I cried all the time (maybe because I cry to like EVERYTHING, but whatever). My biggest recomend if you haven't watched it. Be prepared with the tissues. OBS! it CAN be a bit slow in the first and second episode (it was like that for me) but give it a chance. Trust me. You don't want to miss!!

I also really loved The King Eternal Monarch, which I don't see many people mention. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The ending kinda ruined the show but other than that I thought it was great. The Legend of the Blue Sea will always be my #1 though :) I like Lee Min-ho lol
