Okay sooo i am looking for a drama, Chinese, Taiwanese or Korean doesn’t matter even though i really would like to see a Chinese one… I watched Shan Shan comes to eat Aka Boss and me and i am looking for sth like that. Romance all over the place. When i say cheesy nothing like Playful kiss or It started with a kiss. Hard to explain 😃 I wasn’t able to find anything on my own so i hope anyone here has a suggestion 🙂

Maybe Smiling Pasta? [http://www.viki.com/tv/1775c-smiling-pasta?q=smiling%20pasta](http://www.viki.com/tv/1775c-smiling-pasta?q=smiling%20pasta)

It has all elements you mention and as a bonus it has catchy songs which will be stuck in your head for a while 😛

I see that this topic was started seven years ago, but I’d like to know what others think about a drama I just finished watching two days ago: Bride of the Water God 2017.

It was a very interesting drama. Beautiful opening, fascinating characters, definitely dramatic and absorbing, and full of moments that I would definitely call cute, romantic, emotional **and** cheesy.

I did get a little bored at one point with the ML and FL alternating between three states–anger, sucking up, and meet-cute. After a few episodes, it became a little predictable. But otherwise, it was worth sitting through those moments to get to a fairly satisfying final episode.

Plus, as usual, very interesting secondary characters.

@entwyfhasbeenfound,  
I found these posts on your drama.

>
> **Bride of the Water God** (2017) The story dragged on and on, more or less nothing happened, there was no poetry, no real romance, the actors were all very bad (except for the half-villain, a very pitiful character by an outstanding actor) and the plot was confusing, not well explained. The fantasy was minimal, since the god had lost his powers while on earth. The amount of frustration and dissatisfaction was directly proportional to the amount of eager anticipation one had before the drama started because the writer was the one who had written Misaeng!!!

Back in 2017, I was having a bad life. I had just left a horrible job of many years’ duration; I was two years out of a bad relationship, but the man I had had the relationship would not let me move on for various reasons; I could not sleep more than three to five hours a night. **_Bride of the Water God_** absolutely rubbed me the wrong way and made me cry angry tears.

This time around, I looked at **_Bride of the Water God_** much differently. I was fascinated to see how many genres got mashed together (rom-com, fantasy, chaebol, myth, cultural docudrama). I was impressed by how well the actors handled dialog that was sometimes profound, sometimes plain dumb. And as always, I was fascinated by the costuming choices.

I think, too, that some things that I think tend to drag in certain K-dramas is because a lot of recent fantasy dramas are rooted in Korea’s early religious traditions.

[https://uhpress.hawaii.edu/title/aspiring-to-enlightenment-pure-land-buddhism-in-silla-korea/](https://uhpress.hawaii.edu/title/aspiring-to-enlightenment-pure-land-buddhism-in-silla-korea/)

I think we need, perhaps, Pure Land Buddhism 101, a primer on the kinds of symbols and divine beings and whatnot that a lot of K-fantasies take for granted and that a lot of non-Buddhist viewers miss altogether.

It was uneven, yes, and as usual (for me) it was the antics of the second-tier actors and actresses that made me wish they could have their own spin-offs.

Now that I have binge-watched, I think that it has helped me become better informed about Korean history and culture, and I am glad I took the time, but it will never be on my list of all time greats.
