Plz find it

A female character in the present day uses a bowl or artifact to send items back in time.(Accidentally discovers it) People from the past think of the artifact as divine, and they request items like water or supplies(she help them with some battle or war etc) The protagonist helps in a conflict or battle, possibly sending resources or weapons. The king or a character from the past eventually travels to the present.(In the end)

Favorite instrumental music pieces (i.e. background music) in Asian dramas?

We know that insert songs are nice. And we often rank drama music by their overall OST.

But what are your specific favorite instrumental music pieces featured in dramas (i.e. background music)? The nostalgic ones that you'll frequently look up again from time to time to listen to.

I'll start (might be missing some, which I'll edit in later haha):

Hana Yori Dango (jdrama with really good music)

  1. main theme
  2. mysterious chocolate: Lol a well-done Harry Potter theme song replicate, 'nuff said
  3. tsukushi: A nostalgic piece; ppl will recognize the drama immediately from it
  4. glacial: Ah, the "witch" evil mother -- perfect piece for her haha. It's the "Beethoven's fifth symphony" of the drama.

Start-Up (still my favorite music among kdramas):

  1. Love Love Letter: Has the classical music "prelude" feel. Featured in a lot of tear-jerking scenes.
  2. Swing and Sand: Aww, the peaceful halmeoni piece, so lovely.
  3. Start-Up: Such an upbeat inspiring piece that gets the adrenaline going
  4. Go Go Sandbox: Similar to above; very upbeat+motivational.
  5. Regret Will Remain The Season: A lovely sad piece.

Itaewon Class

  1. Impressive Day: This piece plays during some epic moments like the ending of ep 8 when >!director Kang, walking with Park Saeroyi at night, asks him what he really wants and he responds that he wants to live a life where he makes his own decisions and doesn't have to pay for his principles!<. This is my favorite piece in the kdrama tied with Start Over by Gaho.

Doctor Stranger (the music really made this kdrama 100x better; but still underrated kdrama overall):

  1. Memory: Instrumental version of the awesome theme song by Bobby Kim. I can picture the >!father getting shot in episode 1!<whenever this piece plays.
  2. Promise: A sad/tragic piece. Can picture the two FLs when this plays.

I Can Hear Your Voice (the music really sets the tone for both the action scenes and the courtoom scenes)

  1. Return: Gives off the mysterious, yet epic, courtroom vibe. Like giving an epic speech that will stump your opponent.
  2. Circus In Court Strings: A very good "danger!" alert theme. You can feel the anxiety rolling.
  3. Verdict: OMG the string instruments. Almost has a Vivalid's Winter vibe.

The Worst of Evil

  1. Precious: So melancholy. >!Ugh, despite the main villain being villain, his story is a tragedy and his bromance with the ML was real. Made me tear up.!<

Big Mouth

  1. Love Mode: Ugh, I really love the FL and this plays whenever she's there and caring for her husband. Really lovely romance piece with somewhat tragic undertones.

Taxi Driver

  1. Whistle song: I admit, I couldn't finish the kdrama but this sad piece stuck with me.

Pinocchio

  1. Calm and Passion: Ooh, plays during the intense scenes. I can picture the FL's mom whenever I listen to this.

The Untamed (didn't finish this cdrama; a bit long, but might finally finish it one day -- but amazing music)

  1. Wu Ji: Plays in every episode (esp. the flute version) and never gets tiring. Beautiful piece.

Não consigo achar um Dorama

Tava assistindo uma cena de Dorama pelo insta e perdi... Era sobre um cara fingindo ser pobre testando a família da esposa dele. Teve uma cena onde a mulher aparece com a sogra e sogro dele no carro de um amigo de infância dela. Era ano novo e a mãe dela queria que os dois se divórciassem ali mesmo, levando até o papel.

Looking for a specific series

I saw the video on Facebook but there were no comments on the title and no information other than the video - historical theme I believe it’s a Cdrama about two sisters. They both marry two different men. The older sister thinks her marriage is better, it appears her husband has a lot of money but gets kicked out of their home because of her aggressive behavior and she’s jealous that her younger sister has a good marriage to a supposedly kind man. She then murders her sister who wakes up right before the marriage. It also turns out the murderous sister also remembers and pushes the younger to marry the other man (rich) instead.

Looking for comedies or WTF plots.

Any recommendations for truly funny shows, that appeal to adults? Even if I also like silly comedy, satire and the like, I don't like fart joke comedy that seems to be a staple in South Korea.

I also appreciate a surprising WTF plot, which is highly unrealistic but fun to explore.

Thankyou in advance.

Dominator of Martial Gods (2023)

Does anyone know if there is going to be a season 2 of this? I actually really enjoyed season one and found myself rewatching it the last couple days and I'm curious if we are going to get to see more of this story (and yes I know there is anime).

Which drama is this? Female lead with three supporting or love interest female characters.

I don't remember if this a kdrama or jdrama (if at all?). But in the poster, there was a female lead surrounded by three other female characters. I don't know if they are all love interests or if it's a story exploring three types of friendships.

Thanks in advance!

Looking for this title

I have been searching for this drama for weeks and I can't find the name of it. I can't remember if it was k or j drama but I remember the whole plot. The mc is a rich girl who is supposed to get married but runs away bc she wants to go to the college where her parents met and fell in love and get more info about them bc they were deceased. While she is running away is disguises herself as a normal girl with short curly red hair with her middle part brushed back in a tiny pony tail and black glasses and i believe with freckles as well. The main love interest is an young singer and the way they meet was (Im a little hazy on this part) while she was getting away from her body guards she sees ML and gets really close to him pretending to be a couple hiding her face and the guards run past them and she accidently kisses him. Its an enemies to lovers trope, MC is very independent and doesn't mind giving ML a piece of her mind even if he is an idol. It used to be on netflix with 2 seasons i think? ML has this childhood friend that is like obsessed to be with him and she does a bunch of things to try and be with him, very "pick me girl".

This was my favorite comfort drama to watch and I miss it so much. Any help is greatly appreciated <3

Looking for this

It's a chinese or korean drama or show. Not japanese, not anime. I saw a clip on ig reels. Something about where it's as if people are suddenly weak but not the nc. A small potted plant was being lifted by a crane. The man being confused even said he could lift it. I dont remember but he did show something where he lifted and people were surprised, even causing the rich woman to be shocked and wanted to recruit him. He went back to his work like a construction worker and was confused on why people are having difficulties with just some tiles. Later his gf came to say she's breaking up and was with her new partner and she's saying he is a champion or something which he then demonstrates by lifting half a brick, something the mc can do easily but the clip cuts there

mask girl (spoiler warning)

I know that I am late by a year but I just finished this show and I had no words for it, it was so good but also so tragic it was really great overall. I just wanted to complain about one thing that bothered me throughout the entire show tho. The fcking tteokbokki grandma😭. All she did was piss me off. Like yes I understand your son died you're gonna be upset but she was just fucking insane. The other guy that mask girl killed also had a mother and she didnt stalk her for years, kill her friend, stalk her child and get close with her just to kill her to take "revenge" on her mother. And lemme just say that her son was a piece of shit anyways, he fucking stalked and raped her?? You're gonna murder a child, HIS CHILD, because what? he got killed in the process of assaulting someone oh womp womp. I guess it runs in the family to be an unbearable piece of shit😭😭

Looking for the name of this drama and where to find it

Hi everyone, I recently watched a drama on YouTube, but found that the complete movie wasn't uploaded (which genuinely pisses me off when that happens). Usually I wouldn't bother but this drama was so unique and I didn't even get to see the main couple get together yet

On YouTube its called; 'After getting trapped in a novel, she turns her madness into a comeback', but I'm unsure if it's a translation of the title or the uploaded making it up themselves.

I'll put the link below:

Looking for an asian drama using my memory crumbs

So there was this asian drama i watched as a child, i don’t remember if it was Japanese or Korean, and I don’t recall a lot of scenes. It first starts with a preteen girl who was left by her mother in what seems like a train station, or it can be any public place, she told her to wait for her there and gave her a handmade necklace, the girl waits but the mother never came back. I don’t know how but she started to live with a family, and she grew up to be a young lady. The family had a daughter as well but she was a child, the only scene i remember after this is an argument between her and the mother who raised her, because she wanted to leave the child somewhere because she was jealous or something like that, and the woman slapped her i guess. But they made up afterwards. I think the real mother (aka the woman who left her) appears again towards the end but I don’t remember what happens. Ps: i am not sure if that’s how the scenes really went. Does this ring a bell?
