I have so many to recommend ! I’m kinda into serious dramas and also cute & fluffy ones so yeah there will be a mixer of both.

-Marriage not dating / I enjoyed watching this drama so much, it was a very funny drama to watch. The main female lead had to be the most funniest girl ever and to say VERY savage at first she really annoyed me because of her clinginess but you grow to just love her!

-Oh my Venus / Another funny drama to watch, this is more of a very cute drama. The drama also held a lot of emotion for me thay was I cried so much omg. But other than that this drama kept me interested in every episode and kept me laughing at all times.

-It’s okay, that’s love / This is a very mature drama I mean the things that go on in this drama you most likely just don’t see In others. But I also enjoyed this drama so much, I’m just inlove with the female lead (no homo) the couple was just too cuteee.

-The girl that see’s smells (Sensory Couple) / This was a very cute drama but also filled with crime + investigation if your really not into those type of things then this drama isn’t for you. Although I did feel that finding ‘evidence’ for the serial killer was very dragged.

-Cruel City / Another drama with crime + investigation. This had to be the most drama filled kdrama. The couple in this drama were just so cute together omg. Many things happened that you just don’t seem to expect, although many people did not like the ending it was a lot more realistic ending. The acting was sooo good from the male lead, if your more into thriller this is the drama for you.

-The K2 / OMMMMGGGG fricken love this drama so much! I just recently finished it and I felt so empty when it was done. The drama & suspense in this drama is just so crazy and will get you thinking 'What the hell will happen next ?" The acting of all characters were so good especially the madams I was so impressed with her acting. If you loved healer, you’ll like this too

-Playful Kiss / Come on… I know you’ve probably heard this one a lot of times but I just would never let it go. This drama has my heart completely. This was one of the very first dramas I watched which made me even more hooked into Kdrama. The story line is just so cute & fluffy you’d definitely just love watching it.

-Cinderella and the four Knights / Hey this drama wasn’t all that bad, I mean I feel like we barely got much scenes with the female lead and male but it was a nice drama. Although it gets dragged on near the end.

Masters Sun / okay I’ll admit this drama did scare me at the start… I mean who wouldn’t be scared watching a horror filled drama at 2am? Later you seem to get used to the horror scenes and find some of it fun to watch. Be prepared for jump scares.

I hope this mini list was helpful! These are barely even a quarter of the dramas I’ve watched but I have just picked some thay I enjoyed to recommend to you.

Yes but I heard it has a very tragic ending, and I don’ t love tragic endings.
I mean, Rooftop Prince ending was borderline OK with me, as it kept a message of hope. But anything worse than that… no.

@irmar Well it isn’t exactly tragic ending. I don’t want to spoil it for you. If you liked rooftop prince and generally you like fantasy dramas will probably like Gu Family Book as well.

I’ve been known to haunt recaps sites and even watch the last episode. I don’t want to waste my time for something that will disappoint me in the end or leave me with heartbreak. Either because the lovers have to say goodbye because she has to stay with her useless husband out of a sense of duty or for the sake of their kids who are in love with each other, or it’s open ending and we don’t know what will be decided. I want to bang the director’s head when this happen.
I heard Saimdang was like that and that’s why I never finished watching it, I dropped it like a hot potato.
Or like all these Japanese dramas where one of the two lovers dies in the end, or has an incurable disease like Lou Goering’s of which he/she will die or become completely paralized in a few months “but the finale is one of hope because of the positive attitude of the condemned person”.
I have no use for such dramas/films and I really cannot understand why they keep being made, why the public likes them etc.
The only one of this category I really liked - rather adored! - was “Memory”, which was cathartic and beautiful, so much that you didn’t mind whatever happened later.

I have had enough drama in my life, and right now there are many things which make me anxious. So when I watch dramas, I don’t mind the characters going through lots of tribulations and me shedding rivers of tears, provided that all is solved in the end.

Don’t watch Fashion King, Chuno or What Happened in Bali ( I only watched the first since I heard the other 2 ended badly with my favorite actors so I passed… Lol) if you don’t like sad endings

‘What happened in Bali’ leaves you heart broken. It’s very good and the cast are just awesome but the story is so sad. The best dramas so far this year are Goblin, Chicago Typewriter, Tunnel, Secret Forest, Duel, and Circle.
