Since you seems to only add Japanese and South Korean drama, how about:

Japanese:

Juhan Shuttai! (slice of life at workplace, character development)

Kikazaru Koi ni wa Riyuu ga Atte (romance, slice of life, character development)

One Piece (adventure, action)

Korean:

Dali and the Cocky Prince (rom-com)

Mr. Queen (rom-com but more comedy, foods)

The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call (medical, comedy)

If maybe you want to try Chinese: Filter (rom-com, self-acceptance)

Hi!! I'm also pretty new to dramas (and MDL in general) but here's a few of my top faves!


Tomorrow - Korean Action/Fantasy, a really good concept and Lee Soo Hyuk is a must-watch actor.

Weak Hero - Korean Action/Thriller, absolutely amazing acting, warning there is a lot of violence and you WILL cry.

Brewing Love - Korean Romcom, a newer show but by far one of the best romcoms I've watched. We love a physically strong yet emotionally damaged female lead.

Falling Into Your Smile - Chinese Romcom, a great (imo) intro to Chinese dramas for those who enjoy Korean romance/romcoms. This one is also a little shorter than most, and it's contemporary.

Love Between Fairy and Devil - Chinese Costume/Wuxia Romance, a great option for a first drama in this genre, it has two well-known actors (Dylan Wang & Esther Yu) and gives you a good idea of what the genre is like. Forbidden love, war, and love triangles galore.


If you'd like some more specific recs based on some other shows/genres that you like, please let me know!
