It's so funny, because I had the exact same thought on those two dramas. While I like most of the suggestions on this thread,  I just didn't love Healer or Pinocchio as much as everyone else for some reason.

I have to add "I'm not a robot" to this list, really funny with really sweet characters you really enjoy watching as the drama goes on!

  • Bride of the Century (Fantasy)
  • I can Hear Your Voice (Fantasy, heartwarming noona romance, tight plotline, you should really try this again)
  • My Sassy Girl (2017)
  • Signal (Fantasy, Action, Crime, romance is limited but this show is a gem. A romance lover like me still loved it even though it doesn't have much romance)
  • Fight For My Way ( Really heartwarming and mature romance)
  • Goblin (Fantasy)
  • Kill Me Heal Me (Psychological drama)
  • Liar Game (so much intelligence in this drama, very tight plot, will keep you on the edge of your seat)
  • Pinocchio 
  • master's Sun (Supernatural, Fantasy)
  • My Love From The Star (Supernatural, Fantasy)

  • Doctor Stranger - About North Korean great skilled chest surgeon. I really like plot and how female lead "changed"  from  one  actress  to  another. Action, Romance and good plot.
  • The K2 - Male lead is former soldier for hire. Dont need to say more just read whole plot from the drama site.
  • Yong Pal - Again talented surgeon kinda similiar like ,,The K2"
  • Healer  
  • Bring It On, Ghost - She is a ghost and he can fight ghosts. Boom, great plot and romance.

I loved Pinocchio but same with Healer lol. I liked it and rated it an 8 but it wasn't as amazing as everyone made it sound like. I get the hype tho and since a lot of people loved it I recommend it to others when I feel like they might like it too you feel me haha.

I hear your voice (Very similar to While You Were Sleeping. Imo it's better though)

Faith (About a doctor who gets taken back in time. Lots of action, some romance and also very political)

Legend of the blue sea (About a mermaid pretty much)

Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (Also about a girl who gets taken back in time)

Oh my ghostess (Girl can see ghosts and gets possessed by one)

Queen In Hyun's man (man gets taken from the past to the future)

Strong woman do bong soon (Girl is really strong. Like really)

The girl who sees scents (literally what the name says)

The master's sun (again, girl can see ghosts. But not when she touches the mail lead for some reason)

Try Strong Woman Do Bong Soon! It's one of my favorites and is similar to W in some aspects.  They both have action, romance, and comedy. It's a must watch in my opinion.

Strong Woman Do Bong Soon*

Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo* (Historical drama)

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo

Shopping King Louie

Oh My Venus

The Legend of the Blue Sea* (Historical drama elements but mainly modern day)

Queen For Seven Days (Historical drama)

Empress Ki (WARNING: 51 episodes long. Also historical drama)

Page Turner (Nice and short. HIGHLY RECOMMEND)

The Master's Sun*

(The ones in bold are my absolute favs and must watches)

*Fantasy dramas

BTW your taste seems really similar to mine, so I'm sure you'll like most of these recommendations

watched master's sun it was better than expected

ok, it only has a very tiny slight touch of fantasy (the heroine can time travel) but: Moon Lovers Scarlet Ryeo.  It has a lot of awesome romance, a bit of comedy and action. But also has a lot of sad moments, you've been warned. But its wonderful, really!

Also, you might want to try Secret Garden. Lots of comedy, fantasy and romance and guess what, the heroine can fight martial arts, so...action too!
