in this day and age

this was one of my first dramas, so i have a total soft spot for this. it's a cute little youth drama that follows a group of friends from high school shenanigans to university struggles to work life.

all the best parts of the original cversion, plus some great adjustments that made me like the drama better. short, sweet, and lighthearted

a crushing story of the dichotomy of two brothers, and how one family is affected by their actions

a cute youth drama with a badass but adorable fl. you get to see some empowering scenes from her, and i def recommend watching just to see them

probably the most progressive Mainland China drama i’ve seen. reminiscent of Reply 1988, this is a family and slice-of-life drama where all the characters go through their own struggles in life. characters have such brilliant complexity, and each personal arc has depth and impact.

highkey recommend just to see li xian and hu yi tian killin the game (acting and gaming). you should definitely keep an eye on the wonderful performance from lee hong chi (my favorite of the drama)

you gotta watch this for grim reaper and goblin. those two are so iconic. and with deok hwa in the mix? you've got trouble. 

a hospital drama that isn't 100% gory surgeries and perpetual "we're losing him" moments. there's a perfect blend of hospital life, family life, and personal life working together to show the lives of these five best friends

if you love (or even moderately like) fairy tales, you'll get to see a bunch of them cleverly entwined into each episode of this drama. you also get to see a complex and deep dive of familial relationships that engrosses you in the characters' mindsets.

this is 100% a redemption drama. it reminds you that you can move past difficult times in your life and move on to better things. you get a taste of different social issues in modern societies and how the characters have to deal with/overcome them

action-packed, gripping, and swoon worthy. the mains are bad*ss, hot-tempered, and just plaineye-catching. if you’re looking something that will keep you hooked, this is a perfect pick. binged this in about 3 days.

a parallel universe story in which one woman falls for two overbearing CEOs: one in real life, and one in a teen romance novel. makes fun of the general romance genre tropes while still giving sweet and romantic vibes

a pain-staking story about a girl who fights to pay off her debts by doing whatever it takes, even if it means sacrificing her pride. a crippling story about a middle-aged man who deals with marital issues, work issues, family issues. they understand each other in a way that only people who share the same pain do, and they help build each other up in the face of their individual hardships.

a shorter drama that has a lot of silly and fantastical moments. while it's mainly lighthearted and warm, there are moments of depth that make this drama all the more worthwhile

a sweet youth drama surrounding a group of friends and their families. this drama goes really in-depth with the complex relationships between all the characters. just a piece of art

powerful. women. all. day. long.

all i have to say is that this is funny af

just utterly and completely refreshing. the plot isn't filled with all the standard cliches of most dramas nowadays, and the story keeps you hooked with all its twists and turns.

the best mix of aegyo and intentional overacting i've seen yet. do bong soon is the superhero you didn't know you needed, ahn min hyuk is the non-coldblooded chaebol you always wish you had, in gook do is the tsundere that you want backing you up in your life

fast paced, filled with action, makes you think about what makes people human and how sometimes monsters can be more humane than the people around you

this is a gaming drama without (imo) unnecessary romance. you get to see some beautiful teamwork and friendship, and some exciting simulated gaming

a sweet movie about best friends who will do anything to make their bedridden friend happy

an action/fantasy drama filled with amazing friendships, comedy, and justice

just a total badass sci-fi drama. lots of action and gore, and the plot keeps you hooked every minute

this drama is kind of weird ngl, but it's super fun to watch. you see five different stories that become intertwined as the housemates learn how to become friends with each other
