I don’t but a book came into my mind either from the 80’s or the 90’s a woman who would turn into a wolf …
I watched such stuff a lot in that time Ladyhawk, a movie of the 80’s, back then Robin Hood BBC, Beauty and the Beast CBS, Buffy, Angel, … That kind of stuff. But I must say when Buffy finally ended in the early 00’s, my interest pretty much gone. It only rekindles here and the in GU family book for Choi Jin Hyuk in the first four or so episodes.
I still like drama’s like Queen In Hyun’s Man, Faith, …
For the darker ones I watched and likes Tunnel (I would probably shy away these days), Pride and Prejudice, I Remember You, The Girl Who Sees Smells(liked it while watching, but isn’t a drama that keeps my mind busy, if you know what I mean), Beyond the Clouds (is more like it).
Ah, I only use Viki, I want to stay in a legal frame and I can not even watch the dramas I want to (because of time issues, I can save the time to look for them elsewhere.).
Healer is still on my list, but at the moment that pace is too much for me. A reason why I stopped Devilish Joy right at the start. But Choi Jin Hyuk sold Tunnel to me, so you can guess, why I ended up watching this drama. Fairy & Woodcutter is not for me a pass, like years ago I missed out on Arang and the Magistrate, … Just not my cup of tea.
If you want to make suggestions go on, I am looking for dramas that I might have rated falsely.
@angelight313_168 You mean No Regret, I watched that too and gosh, thankfully I am open-minded. I do not judge actors for taking such roles, I think an actor who wants to “grow” is in need of projects like this, when you need to go beyond … LOL I am not talking about the details, I mean the inner torture of a character …
Well, now you mention something, a lot of his characters were “unlucky” in love, in life, … At least in dramaland.
Queen Seon Deok - is epic, the start was a bit juddery for me, back then I knew not much about Korean history. But Kim Nam Gil playing Bidam is just awesome. You may guess how he ended but, it really is one of the few historicals I made it through with no regret, 
Deserving of Your Name - has no bad ending, and he is using his “funny” face a lot in this, problem is the availability of the drama but tvn had lots of free-bees as previews to offer, so with a bit of imagination …
In Lovers he had a minor role, Bad Guy well it hurt, …
Justice team (2016) check you tube or if you have amazon prime…
RH plus, on crunchyroll. haven’t started to watch it. 2010 I think
American sources do not work for me, and I do not use YT to watch drama. I must say Justice Team totally went under my radar and didn’t find much information about it, it’s a mini series 4 episodes? [quote=“frustratedwriter, post:30, topic:22786”]
2010 I think

SENT ME A PM IF YOU ARE INTRESTED:wink:
*SOMETHING IN THE RAIN
@wiligard I know this drama should be just my cup of tea, but I didn’t miss it. You know some dramas air and you really want to watch and then you can’t and then you think, oops well. And the days go by.
*ROMANCE IS A BONUS BOOK
I just don’t know how I feel about this one
*PARTNERS IN JUSTICE
Too dark for this season
*FAMILIAR WIFE
It has Ji Sung, I know but somehow, I guess I am a bit spoiled and have missed out on many dramas, that I feel like a kid that doesn’t know which chocolate to eat first. Well this one is not on the shortlist.
*MAD DOG
Thriller is a pass for me at the moment
Saw these two and liked them in their own way.
*LAWLESS LAWYER
*JUST BETWEEN LOVERS
I solely watch at Viki, don’t use other services and it’s fairly enough material to watch, even, yes, even someone like me has a BUT there are still some dramas I really would like to watch here.
Something that’s not on Viki, but on our favorite other legal site, is Prison Playbook. Superb drama with almost no serious violence. Quite strange for a prison drama. But incredibly funny and full of life. From the directors of the Reply series.
Something with a bit more violence, but quite unusual - Stranger (aka Secret Forrest / Forrest of Secrets). The main male character’s psychological profile is superb. With Bae Doona!

How’s it going Lutra? Still want new suggestions?
A show I liked was https://www.viki.com/tv/35861c-absolute-boyfriend it was not I would have chosen if I hadn’t stumbled across a trailer. A young woman who got to store a lifelike robot and accidently activates it and drama ensuse.
I was recommended https://www.viki.com/tv/23205c-descendants-of-the-sun and I liked it too. A doctor and a soldier off to a war-torn land to work.
I’m currently watching https://www.viki.com/tv/35725c-return-the-world-to-you and are 8 episodes in. So far it’s good and about people in the fashion industry so a lot of goodlokking people in flashy clothes.
I am currently watching that one! I really enjoy it, although the episodes are longer than most Kdramas. I was surprised at the amount of humor in it instead of the violence. The friendships between the cellmates are very interesting and so are the backstories.
@bozoli Thanks!
I have not joined the “other site” yet.
About the other dramas
My Wife is Having an Affair - is on my to be watched list but have not started yet
SKY Castle - don’t know yet …
Misty - on my list, but I feared it would be too dark in the mood
The others I have watched.
@stockholm_syndrome Well, so so …
Suggestions = always
I do have my problems with highly hyped dramas - I don’t know why … I probably watch every other drama before I turn to those. But this only happened since I no longer watch on air dramas. I just recently watch Pinocchio, Healer both dramas I felt I was the only one left to watch them. Descendants of the Sun might be a total different drama, but I am burned from Road Nr. 1 and there is too much war in the world at the moment, I am just not into the genre for now. Korea has a completely different stance about the military I am from Germany, so there is some gap …
Absolute Boyfriend might be a drama, when I need chill drama, but I fear it might be like Oh My Venus, nice to look at but leaves me hungry.
I am still thinking about what to choose next - I missed my chance for Signal, as the license was gone right when I started to have time for watching drama …
I can recommend “Watcher”, I loved it so much! The pace is good, not slow and not quick at the same time. Also even tho the whole drama revolves around one case, it doesn’t get boring as they find always new pieces of the puzzle. The cast is great, there is a lot of blood in some scenes but it wasn’t too much in my opinion. The lines are very nice too and all the shots and settings were great 
Depends on what you call dark and moody. I don’t think it was but a refreshing break from all the dramas that are clearly for a young adult audience. This was an all grownup drama and very sexy.
I’m going to watch it again for sure. 
It wasn’t much war like shooting and stuff, just the backdrop of being in a different country under special circumstances. But if you don’t like it maybe it’s still too much.
wanna hear your song, twists & turns, mystery and more.
anyway I think its good, vagabond, and I gotta start watching, one of my favorite actors is in it.
I finished watching this drama, was so good!
you have covered a lot of the greats just add a few more lite comedies and make sure to add my favorite" the story of ming lan…"
LOL - I put up this thread and don’t worry irmar’s suggestions were pretty much what I have asked for.
What I am looking for, well something smoother, down to earth, pure, earnest, … Ha, ha, yes and I am looking for a K-drama if possible. I am not against other dramas, but prefer the shorter ones 16 hours to max around 50 hrs of drama. At the moment I prefer dramas off air, that are fully subbed, so I can take my time
I avoid Chinese dramas because of their length, it doesn’t mean that I have not seen a few.
WOK OF LOVE has full subtitles (not that great but not bad subs either), and it has some of the things you want in the drama (the girl is down to earth, pure, etc…)It has dramatic and funny parts so I loved it so much I’m going back to really immerse myself episode by episode. I did skip a few parts, and I want to go back and see them. It has action scenes but nothing gross. Enjoy!
I am open for suggestions!
Have watched some newer ones as well as Chinese, but would like to hear what is there in the market of the last 9 months that I might have missed out on.
I need to get some sleep, maybe you will help me looking for a new drama love.
I thoroughly recommend The Miracle We Met with an original, beautiful story and excellent acting and a happy, satisfying ending and My Unfamiliar Family. which is very interesting and well-written, and the main couple is mature.
They both have just finished subbing and editing.
None of them is a rom-com.
Lutra
All these are not on viki but I really enjoyed/am enjoying them/ and if viki ever gets the license, I would love to by chief editor on any of them:
Hospital Playlist, Crash Landing on You, It’s Okay not to be Okay
Suits - the Korean version
Chief of Staff
