Oh! Shadow Beauty is also a very good drama for you, it’s suspenseful and a thriller. While watching it I wanted to throw and a chair and cry in the same episode :laughing:

Thanks for the suggestions

‘Tunnel’ is definitely on my list as is ‘the good detective’, but as you say that’s not on here

I’ve actually only watched one or two Chinese and Taiwanese dramas and that was back when I first joined Viki back then my ability to read quickly wasn’t so good and I found I had trouble keeping up with the subtitles on Chinese and Taiwanese dramas. I’m quite a lot better now, though , so perhaps it’s time to give Chinese and Taiwanese sheets dramas another go

Is the crime/mystery dramas that I’ve watched or am watching on Viki. It would be easier to list these had Viki kept the watch history function that he is the ones I’ve definitely watched . I would definitely have missed a fair few out here

  • Lawless lawyer
  • again my life
  • Pinocchio
  • search

I know everyone’s going to say how have you not watched this yet, but I haven’t seen ‘flower of evil’ I know, I know how have I not watched that one yet . There’s also a few Japanese dramas I have my eye on

Omg Flower of Evil was amazing! Also, what is Pinocchio about? I had my eye on it but I’d like an honest description of it first.
Edit 1: I’m also a big fan of Park Shin Hye so I’m pretty sure her acting in this won’t disappoint.

@ratatouille_raco while Pinocchio is listed as a romantic comedy drama on Viki to say that’s what Pinocchio is doesn’t do it justice. Pinocchio can be quite dark in places, even though it does have romance and comedy elements in it, it is as much a crime, mystery and thriller drama as it is a romantic comedy, and manages to maintain a fairly serious tone despite the elements of romance and comedy.

You will see what I mean. Once you watch the first couple of episodes because it can be quite dark in places. I think it’s worthy of its 15 certificate, although it’s probably listed as PG-13 in the states. If you’re going to watch it though. Make sure you’re not half asleep as some of the investigative journalism that the main characters have to do can be a bit difficult to follow Sometimes

Ooooooh okay, thank you for the heads up. The way you described it was nothing like what I imagined it to be.

I have a Supernatural Collection, Kiss Collection, Hot in the Kitchen Collection, Umbrella Collection (that one is fun you find the umbrella trope in the drama), Official Scene Stealers Collection, For Love of the Bad Guy and more - if you go to my profile you can see ALL my collections -

I would say check out Supernatural it might be similar to the crime/mystery!

My favorite on @kdrama2020ali 's list is “Medical Examiner Dr. Qin”! I highly recommend this one. SO good and I love all three leads. The detective is played by the lead from Go Go Squid!

(I have read that it has another season, but for some reason all the actors were replaced. I haven’t seen the second season and it’s not on any streaming service I can find, but it sounds like it’s not as good as s1 anyway.)

I feel like Ji Seung Hyun is typecast, every show/movie I see him in, it’s a crime/mystery.

I think he just likes action thrillers… his character personalities are pretty unique. He was hilarious in Team Bulldog and serious in DOTS

Okay, I told myself I was going to hate New Horizon because it’s such a train wreck but OH MY GOODNESS why do they keep surprising me with ultra-adorable scenes amidst all the boring trash?!!

This one scene where two fathers-to-be are waiting outside the delivery room, while both their wives are inside… one is pacing around and bothering all the nurses around him while the other is just frozen, stuck to his chair :joy:

The nurses come out at the same time to declare that both deliveries went well - the younger dad is happily thanking everyone while the older one is still frozen… and then he jumps up screaming :joy::joy:

I am starting to watch an older drama, which I didn’t know I never watched! its called the dream job, on NF, I think its Chinese, but the woman that’s starred in it she was terrific in another drama and thats why I am watching this. the drama is different, and funny too. and guess what, went to MDL just to look this one up and this isn’t listed, even Jeanette’s other drama isn’t either. guess I will have to look it up elsewhere, and no Viki doesn’t have either one of them.

found it! and course on one of those “no-no” lists

I watched this one in the past, and I remember not being able to find it on MDL to add to my list. It turns out it is from Singapore, and MDL does not include content from there as of now.

thanks , I didn’t know that one!

oh yeah DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC, it is very different for Wookie, but its a good one, so far have enjoyed it, hey HE sings!!!

also this one, ok it is a cute one, but to me the kid looks sick or is it the way he originally looks, I must say this is a cute drama, I thought at first he may have been a grim reaper or a ghost, due to that accident. Hope it does get better, the drama that is

Currently watching too many to name them all lol

But there’s one I want to hype, “My Liberation Notes

It’s not your typical Kdrama. No fluff but it gives you all the butterflies.
For grown ups (not because it’s rated r or anything) the elements are just “realistic” and more of a lesson in life type of show. Can’t think of a word for it but it’s not a plot written for “drama.” It’s like watching the real life of these people.

What intrigues me the most are the leads. It’s very rare to come across a drama with leads that have chemistry without relying on skin-ship or accidental hugs.
