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?

What Comes After Love : a poem turned into a drama

This drama is superb and full of sweetness and poetry. 

For the pros: 

  • The actors are excellent, skilfully conveying all the emotions their characters go through, whether happy or sad. To make it even better, they have great chemistry, and the scenes in which they are together are believable and unforced
  • The landscapes are superb and perfectly match what's going on in the drama, as do the seasons, which evolve at the same pace as the characters' relationship
  • This drama mixes two countries and cultures (Japan and Korea) that we think are close, but which are actually quite different, and the 2 actors portray the differences between these two countries with gentleness and simplicity
  • The soundtrack is incredible, transporting us into their world and making us feel the emotions they're experiencing
  • The length is very appropriate, with no episode too long and no time wasted

For the minuses: 

  • As a great lover of love, I would have liked to see more scenes of them after they got back together

If you like slow paced dramas filled with tenderness, do yourself a favor and watch it !

Anyone know this drama? (Help)

There is this Japanese series I’m trying to remember. It’s similar to “Love Last Forever” or another name for it, “Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo.” The female lead is a nurse in training, and she has these three friends; I believe one’s a male also. She is married to this popular doctor (the male lead) in the facility (not sure if they were married the entire time), but people gossip and say that he’s married. People try to figure it out, and I remember that she was not good at giving needles, and that’s what their “test” was on. She kept practicing, and another part was while they were gossiping; she either revealed it to her friends or when he walked in right after with her purse and gave it to her, saying that she had left it, and they realized that she was his wife. Or, while they were gossiping, they didn’t believe her, and her male friend and her two other female friends liked him also (everyone did because he was pretty popular). I don’t remember it being a second couple, but it could possibly be. The entire show is mainly set in the hospital and slightly around outside (if this helps). I don’t think it’s a super plot twist or a serious series. I believe the male lead is cold/not that emotional, and she’s really bright and positive, similar to the leads in “Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo” (Love Last Forever). I’m not so sure, though, so don’t quote me on that since I vividly remember! The entire show isn’t centered around their marriage, I believe, and people finding out. I just remember that in an episode/part, I thought it was “Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo” (Love Last Forever) and watched it to the end, realizing this wasn’t the series at all since they’re not married, and her guy friend and other friends in the series don’t like her boyfriend in a super crush way. The guy friend dates his sister, and although she’s clumsy at first, they didn’t do tests and stuff as training; they were just called “rookies” and had more or less shadowing experiences. In the series I’m referring to, it’s a big thing in their training since I believe she’s also trying to get into either a college or a hospital (I don’t remember). I do remember when she’s not good at giving needles, she practices often, and her friends and husband try to help her (I think she passes; I don’t remember).

PLEASE HELP! (Love ya) 🫶🏻

Shows like Good Morning Call & Mischievous Kiss

Do you guys have any recs for shows like good morning call and mischievous kiss? In particular, aesthetic and cinematic wise? I like the way it’s filmed and the mannerisms in the female leads that are cutesy and quirky—and I like the fashion that’s cute but realistic. I also like the music and cut scenes!!

App recommendations for Kdramas

Hi, I used to use viu, HITV and onetouchtv to stream/download shows. Are there any other apps that can be downloaded and used on android? My issue with Hitv is the lack of updated dramas now and they are trying to monitize it while onetouchtv although has new shows does not allow downloading and the intervact and video player is rather lousy. Is there another app that can download to watch offline and have the latest kdrama?

Look for dramas with a main male lead like Wonderland of love (hidden,exiled, ignored Prince)

One big thing i liked was that he was the outcast of the royal family. He was sent off to the border to be in the army and bascially ignored until his family was basically wiped out and then he was needed. I loved that he was loyal and kept his word as well as tactically smart and a little playful. I also liked that he was royal but not as you would expect which is why people kept thinking he was his general or that he was an idiot based on his family. And I loved how despite all the political stuff going on we got battles and army scenes and him solving court issues out in the world (hope that makes sense). Anyways anyone know any others like this? I'm not really a romance fan but I loved how they were equals. I hate when a badass hero (maybe a little dangerous or badboy) falls for a weak or silly girlish woman.

Who rules the world also fits this! Word of honor kinda though neither are really royal. Maybe mysterious lotus casebook though again not royal. And I'm kinda in the mood for badass princes lol.

please help me find this show

i was on tiktok when i came across this reel for a c-drama, but couldnt find the title

basically, there is this prime minister who makes his wife wear ankle chains and dance every day in front of a crowd, and if even one person says it was bad, he'd make her to dance more

but in the past he had been a poor scholar and the girl's stepmother forced her to break up with him and marry another man or she'd kill the guy

and the guy also apparently forced her to marry a rooster

i just want to know the name, i need to find out what happened

Looking for dramas that have been made/remade by different countries to check out (more in comments)

You all were so helpful with my last request, I thought I’d share this one now. I would love to find more dramas that have been made by different countries, and I’m not familiar enough with the dramas I’ve watched to know which ones have variants I’ve missed.

Ones I’ve Watched/Know Of:

Hana Yori Dango/Meteor Garden/Boys Over Flowers/F4 - The ubiquitous one for me because it was the first I watched. I only lack seeing F4, so I need to find a place to watch that one.

Hana Kimi/Hanazakari no Kimitachi e/To The Beautiful You - Another ubiquitous one because I watched this very close together with the first one. I had no idea about the Korean version, so that’s on my list to find.

A Love So Beautiful - I watched both the Chinese and Korean versions of this basically back-to-back.

I’d love to find some more to check out. It would be even better to discover I’ve watched a couple dramas that have multiple adaptations, but I’m not going to list all the dramas I’ve seen.

So hit me with your best recs? Thank you! 🙏🏻

Looking for this show

I don't remember much from it but it did start out where this girl makes a cake/throws a party for the boy she likes and on her way there she checks her appearance in the glass of a restaurant where the male lead is eating with friends. His friends tease him about it and later on they cross paths again. Would anyone know what show this is?

Looking for no/low drama romances where couples tackle drama together (see examples)

I watch a lot of dramas (Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, and Korean primarily), and I would love recommendations for dramas similar to:

Love O2O & Falling Into Your Smile

More on the request now! So what I love most about these dramas is how the main romance features a couple who get together, stay together, and face drama/troubles/whatever together with mature communication. I would like low inter-relationship drama but outside drama/conflict is fine.

I love the campy dramas, so if it’s goofy, overdramatic, ridiculous situations, I’m good with that. I’m just looking for a fun and relaxing watch where I’m not constantly wondering “will she/won’t she? When’s the second act breakup coming? Oh no, it’s a miscommunication trope from a mile away!” Cutesy, ridiculous, silly, drama with lower stakes - all good. 👍🏻

Recs available on Netflix or Prime preferred.

Thank you!! 🙏🏻
