Who else like to watch those cdrama shorts?

I love them, but the AI translator has my brain turning to mush. Sometimes, just for fun, I like to screenshot the funniest ones. This one, though, came from a girl in a Discord server I’m following. If you have any funny ones, drop them. I could use a good laugh!

Falling into your smile realization

I’m watching falling into your smile for the 5th time and I realized K most likely knows that Cheng and Yao like each other. He constantly gives them a chance to be together and is always getting the others to leave them alone (mainly the clueless cat). I think all of them but chubby and cat are painfully aware of their budding relationship but don’t know the extent of it until Cheng kisses Yao. K kind of makes it obvious that he knows through out the series but the others don’t show they know it until Rui baits Yao into talking Cheng into going to Xiamen. It also amazes me how Chubby always catches them but never fully comes to the realization until he sees them physically kissing outside of the hotel

What K-Drama Should I Watch?

What light hearted K-Drama with comedy would you recommend?

K-Dramas that I have watched and enjoyed:

Backstreet Rookie: I enjoyed because they had good chemistry. Their awkward moments were funny. Story was good. This K-Drama is one of the one's that have made me laugh the most. The OST was good. I also enjoyed the action scenes along with the music was good. It also had funny character interactions between side characters

Because This Is My First Life: Story was good. I enjoyed because the two main protagonists were awkward with each other which made for some funny moments.

Dream High 1 & 2: This was the first K-Drama I watched. I enjoyed because it is about music and I too am a musician so it was good to watch this show. Hooked me in from episode 1. Cliff hangers made me want to watch more. The OST was amazing.

She Was Pretty: It was wholesome to watch. It had a great OST. The story was good, I enjoyed each interaction every character had.

You're The Best!: I enjoyed the opening because it went well with the music. Each time the opening got me excited to watch the next episode. Great chemistry between the two protagonist. Their interactions were funny.

Another Miss Oh: Good story, liked the synopsis. It hooked me from episode one, each episode made me want to learn more about the characters.

The Beauty Inside: It was funny, good synopsis. The premise of the show hooked me.

Help Me Decide What To Watch Next?

My husband leaves on a business trip later today and I need to find my next watch! So here’s a list of dramas on my Netflix list. I would love help finding a fluffy, low-drama, green flag ML (& FL) drama to watch based on this list. Other recs for Netflix are also welcome! 🙏

On my list:

  • Business Proposal
  • Love Game in Eastern Fantasy
  • Amidst a Snowstorm of Love
  • Everyone Loves Me
  • Love Next Door
  • Her Private Life
  • Good Morning Call
  • From Me To You

I’m looking for green flag, mostly happy dramas. I’ve watched four new ones this fall, and I’ve loved all of these: King the Land, Falling into Your Smile, You Are My Glory, and Hidden Love.

If there are some green flag dramas you’d recommend that aren’t on my list, feel free to let me know your thoughts. I tend to go for modern day dramas, but I’m not totally opposed to historical ones. I just really haven’t tried any of those.

Thanks for the help! I’m really just terrible at making decisions. 😅

The Midnight Romance In Hagwon : underdog drama of the year !

I was promised a drama close to Something In The Rain and I must admit that it's really close (and I really liked it)!

For the plus : 

  • I learned a lot about the Korean education environment (in the Hagwons, as they call them) and the constant competitiveness that reigns in this field. I wasn't necessarily trying to learn anything by watching this drama, but I must admit that it's not unpleasant
  • The love story between Hye Jin and Jun Ho is very romantic and passionate (which I obviously loved) but it's also, and above all, realistic, healthy and credible (and frankly, every now and then it doesn't hurt!). They get together fairly early on, and I was sure I was in for the classic (and sometimes tiresome) pattern of dramas where the characters pair up early on and break up, only to get back together again at the end, but no! No unnecessary drama, no misunderstandings, no communication problems, in short, their romance is really worth it and feels good! 
  • The secondary characters are (almost) all well-written and well-acted, but they're clearly overshadowed by our two leads, who are really very good (well, I admit, the villains aren't overshadowed all that much :))
  • This drama is quite modern and breaks a few of the codes we're used to in the majority of dramas (and sometimes unfortunately in our society) and I found it refreshing: 
    • By showcasing fighting, independent women who put their dreams and desires first (for better or worse, but still!)
    • By showing couples who don't listen to convention and live their love as they see fit
    • By proving that sometimes, someone older can be completely immature and deserve to be put in their place.
  • And of course, the OST of this drama is really superb and fits very well with the atmosphere and the scenes of the drama.

I don't have many minuses but : 

  • I regret that all the “bad guys” disappeared so quickly without us really knowing what happened to them (yes, we spend dozens of episodes hating them and watching them mistreat our heroine and we can't even savor their downfall!)
  • I didn't find much interest in the director's character, who spends his time whining, getting drunk or hiding in his office (without anyone ever pointing him out!)

Obviously, I recommend this drama, which is very refreshing, revolves around a rather new subject and offers us moments of torrid romance!

Have you seen it ? What's your opinion ?

Controversial/Shocking Dramas

Hi everyone 🤗 I'm looking for a drama with a really shocking or emotional plot. For reference, I loved Well-Intended Love because of the moral issue and tension in the first season. I also loved Rain or Shine / Just Lovers because of the complex relationship between characters.

My main reference is Well-Intended Love though, because that was really intense, emotional and shocking. Any recommendations will be much appreciated ☺️

Need a short drama name

It's called her counter attack through ancient times on the shortwave app, but I'm not paying for another short drama app. The description says it's about Sophia Turner who accidently travels through time and becomes a princess of the same name.

Most of these short dramas have other names on other apps. I'm trying to find other names for it, so I can watch it elsewhere. I'm not paying $50 to watch it on this app.

There's this philipino drama that I came across years back and I can't remember the name..

I remember there was this philipino drama that I came across on youtube like years back and remember wanting to watch it, but cannot for the life of me remember the name or much of what happens in it.

From all that I can remember is it's something about a older man maybe 50s or so (not exactly sure of the age) he falls in love for a younger women and I think he remembers her but she doesn't remember him.. I think maybe it's also got to do with being born in a older man's body ( might be wrong

ISO Romance Drama Recs

I just finished Falling into Your Smile and was rightfully obsessed. I’m pretty familiar with Korean dramas but haven’t delved much into Chinese or Thai dramas. Please recommend me a romance drama that had you hooked! I’m looking for something I’ll be losing sleep over </3

Bonus points if Xu Kai is in it! Thanks :-)

Angsty dramas that don't end sadly?

I love angst. Watching characters stuggle with others or themselves over what they should or shouldn't do. Fighting against their set destiny or fighting to over come their past. Add in action and fantastic plots and I'm hooked. The only issue is lately everything I try to watch has depressing endings and i'm so over it. Does anyone know anything that angst, action, maybe some revenge plots but doesn't end sadly?

Something like Project Wolf Hunting or Rugal.

I love action movies/series with badass male leads who might be of questionable morality but aren't evil, especially if it involves revenge and some sci-fi elements. While Project Wolf Hunting was a little gorier than Rugal both are so much fun to watch. I also enjoyed Memorist and He is Psychometric ( I hated the ending) though this weren't quite as actiony as I'm looking for. OO also Loved the Sign but while I loved Tharn and Phaya neither of them are morally gray hahah. Anyone got any good recs?
