I'm terrible at recommending shows BUT .... you have now set me on a path and I am all in lol.
I have not watched a lot of Kdramas but these shows have been mentioned a lot and may be worth a watch? You may have seen them .... they seem very popular ... if not, we can jump in together and see what we both think.

Twinkling Watermelon
A Time Called You (2023)
Destined with You (2023)
While You Were Sleeping (2017)
Extraordinary You (2019)

I have seen and loved this show many, many times and I personally feel that this show is similar. Heart breaking, funny, ML is somewhat similar.
Queen of tears

Sweet cute romcoms that I have seen
Hidden Love (2023) CDrama
Love Next Door (2024) KDrama

I am off to watch ... While You Were Sleeping
(hahaha I am 5 seconds in and I think I have already watched this and forgot. I am going to watch it again) Pretty sure I really liked it too.

I find the FL terrible. I can not believe that a 30 something year old woman has so little common sense. So many of her decisions are so frustratingly stupid and naive. I am pretty sure a 19 year old would do better than she did. ... just grrrrr. I still like it but more for him and the actual storyline.

Oh and her freezing time 'ability'. There were no other times that she could have used that ..... really?

I really enjoyed this show and have watched it several times, I rate it high because I can watch it over again and still laugh and feel the feelings ... but ...........

It is better the second time around as it is less frustrating and you can see what's coming.  I still don't understand why Hua Shu was not severely dealt to for personally punishing  A Yin which contributed to her death and why it took over a thousand years to find and take down the bad guys. Gu Jin  came across weak.

I have watched and enjoyed this many times.

I'm so tired of watching shows that portray young ladies like this. Abuse and swoon, Abuse and swoon. It's actually beyond a joke. He ties her up after marrying her while she was unconscious, threatens to sexually abuse her if she does not do what she is told, ties her up again and threatens to shoot her with an arrow, threatens her more, drags her to the dungeon where he threatens to torture her, ripping her clothing and leaving her bare in front of all the other stupid male officers, but, like all the other hundreds of dramas like this, she swoons and falls in love with this kind and heroic man. ..... and I am only on EP 5 but I have seen it before, I must have been out of my mind to have finished it the first time.

Wow and not a good wow

Just finished Ep 2 and I am struggling. I will rewatch a show I love instead. Maybe I will come back to this. I have watched and enjoyed hundreds of shows but I am stuck on these. Maybe I will finish them. Some I just cant watch at all, like ... Story of Pearl Girl.

Hard To Find Ep 4
Blood River Ep 24
Glory Ep 2
The Unclouded soul EP 10
Unveil: Jadewind Ep 7
The Rise of Ning Ep 35
The Seven Relics of Ill Omen Ep 16
Flower of Evil Ep 11
Generation to Generation Ep 24
The Red Sleeve Ep 12
Love Beyond the Grave Ep 23

I am actually finding it difficult to find shows that hold my interest so I have been re-watching many shows. I have been home bound for 3 or so years so I have seen hundreds of Cdramas and the occasional Kdrama. The one thing I hate about some shows is that frustrating aspect that they always seem to shove in there. I found this one did not really have that. It was the same for FOF and maybe a few others and that is why I go back to re-watch them. If I start a show and I find it is hard to watch, I have (let me count my open tabs) 17 shows that I had to stop watching and will try very hard to push through them, one at a time. I normally go back and watch my favs to give me some respite from the poorly executed shows that lay listless in my tabs. This one I not only finished but liked.

I actually liked this one. Even if it was very heart wrenching at times. I liked the ending. It was happy but for some reason I still felt sad which kind of fits the show. Makes me want to re-watch Fangs of Fortune ... I just finished my 20 plus watch of that the other day. I think the second watch of this show will be even better as I know the plot and can prepare for the heart ache. Not as visually stunning or epic as Fangs of Fortune but it is not too far behind.

Maybe it is just me but I found the FL to be immature, manipulative and controlling. I am only on Ep. 17 and it is a bit boring but the ML keeps me interested as his character is interesting.
