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😭😭
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:
I loved this drama so much and I love the gaming aspect of it! Was wondering if there are any similar dramas?
Ok this is trivia question title of this show
This girl who just got bf captain of basketball team she now get in trouble by little gang in school where one guy seem to torment her
Soon she tell her mother about her bf but her mother at same time said she getting married
Then soon she find out her soon to be step young brother is guy who leader of the gang at her school
Hi guys, I need help finding this title. I remember they were going to eat together, and he made her ramen and when he came back with the food she was asleep. I know it's difficult but I'd appreciate it if you help me
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?
Hi, i watched a drama looong time ago. It was a gl drama. I think it was thai? About girls on university but one girl was very closeted. And one episode i remember was her asking her gf to get out of the house bc her mother was coming for visit. Anyone recognizes this?
I’m looking for dramas where the male lead is evil or a bad guy and the female lead turns him good or makes him more soft.
Its tv show where girl survives bus crash only for her to see spirits
She was on a school trip only she survive or some survive I think including her she was injured but she came to art room where both best friends always meet she sad best friends are gone soon she hears them then look up see her two friends as ghost one using her mobile phone
Other friend said that won’t work here then they realise the best friend can see them which results her screaming running away
And she meet another guy who also spirit only in borrowed body
Naksu and jang uk being the most badass couple out there💅>>>
This drama is superb and full of sweetness and poetry.
For the pros:
For the minuses:
If you like slow paced dramas filled with tenderness, do yourself a favor and watch it !

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) 🫶🏻

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!!
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?
i hve oldest version since i never delete the app
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.
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
not super cringey, but also cute
not too slow to get into action, but also slow burn
not hard to understand, but intriguing premise
PLEASE!!!
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! 🙏🏻
I have a scene from bilbilli of this jdrama im looking for but I still can’t find the name. Help? https://m.bilibili.com/video/BV1Nj421X7CU
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?
A YouTube short named:"Strange Village Customs: The Inheritance and Mission of the Poguang Master" the drama about a village having a strange custom that before marriage every Bride must sleep with man given the position of light breaker and lose virginity.
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!! 🙏🏻
