In need of some older drama suggestions!

Dec 24, 2023 12:55 am

I am looking for drama's that have the same atmosphere as Winter Sonata and Stairway to Heaven. They are older drama's but they have a certain 'feel' to them which I really love! Maybe it's the wintery vibes, perhaps the coziness. I would love anything similar.

have not seen either one yet (both are in my Plan To Watch) but since they both seem to be a bit melancholic melodrama here are two drama i liked near the early 2000s that may fit the vibe you want:

A Love To Kill

I'm Sorry i Love You

Oh thank you! I will watch A Love to Kill then! My very first k-drama was 'I'm Sorry, I Love You' and I have been hooked since, haha. I really do love melodrama :D

Ruler of Your Own World is more grounded than either Winter Sonata or Stairway to Heaven, but it's a good one and I definitely recommend it.

I am already halfway through A Love To Kill and I like it a lot.

I really love older dramas as well! I have watched many of them so here are some of them I really enjoyed:

She Is Nineteen

What Happened In Bali (this one is more summer vibes, it can be very frustrating but I loved it)

My Girl (wintery vibes)

Spring Waltz

Sad Love Story (I'm watching it right now and I am loving it so much!)

There are many others I loved, if you need more suggestions later let me know :)

Hi, may I suggest Tree of Heaven - It has Lee Wan and Park Shin Hye who were in Stairway to Heaven and the director loved their chemistry so much they decided to cast the two in Tree of Heaven. It's one of my favourite dramas of all time

Several older Korean dramas evoke a similar atmosphere to Winter Sonata and Stairway to Heaven, often characterized by winter settings. Autumn in My Heart (2000) and I'm Sorry, I Love You (2004) are strong contenders, all featuring themes of love, loss, and sacrifice, with snowy or wintery scenes.
