>to the beautiful you
mah nigga

Here's some that I've watched recently:
>boys over flowers
kind of a standard imo, its pretty popular and one of my favorites

>coffee prince

fucking adorable, girl-disguised-as-boy similar to TTBY only her personality is a bit more brash and hilarious

>K-pop extreme survival

it's not amazing but I just finished it and thought it was entertaining and pretty funny

>shut up let's go

I'm working on this one right now and it's great thus far. pic related, generic band drama

i think these are all on netflix right now too

I liked Heart to Heart and Flower Boys Next Door. I just started watching She Was Pretty, seems decent so far. I like dramas with "ugly"/messed up MCs.

I love kdramas but they are too pg for me sometimes. corny as fuck and takes 400 episodes for them to kiss.

BOF will always be one of my favorites.

Also Dream High is okay. Used to come on KBS here and would watch a few eps.

Sassy Girl Chun Hyang

Playful Kiss

Goong (my first K-drama)

Why would anyone waste their time with this trash? I'd rather sit through 12 episodes of SOL moeshit.

No. Every Kdrama has the same plot.

This. Every Kdrama is exactly the same. At least Jdramas have some variety.

Ive been watching ''Mom'' (2015) with my bf and we really like it tbh
its not really 'love-based' and more about family

No. 42783

There are a ton that have the same plot. You really need to look at the non-romance based ones to find something more interesting. I prefer historical dramas myself. Some recommendations (not all historical) I'd make are:
The Great Queen Seondeok
God's Gift 14 Days
The Moon Embracing the Sun
A Gentlemen's Dignity


Also, you should check out actual Korean movies too. I think you'll find some really great ones that don't have the boring k drama format.

If you want something without all the clichés, I recommend ''Heartless city'' .. there is not a lot of focus is not on romance , even though the main characters have really good chemistry (and an actual sex-scene).

Also the cinematography is beautiful, the soundtrack is beautiful and you see one of the best bromances.

I never really felt it got the recognition it deserved.

Nope they're pretty much all like that. I gave up on school 2015 because the character was so weak and pretty much let her guy friend do all the work…

I plead guilty, I stumbled upon this board while looking for some Tumblr blog drama in Google.

Only ones that was half decent so far were Sungkyunkwan Scandal and Healer

This. Aside from the very few jdramas I've seen that are mainly all male cast, there's always just a women in there for romantic reasons only or just as a background object. Kdramas are 100% worse.

No. 43300

I liked Heartstrings. It's kind of dumb where the girl loses a bet to the guy and becomes his 'slave' for a month, and blah blah blah, they fall in love, etc. It's cute and I only started for a short scene in the first episode where one of the boys in the band says "Wait, am I that easy?!" when he tells his bandmates that he's fallen in love (and they assume the girl bought him food). Nonetheless, I really like it and the music is good imo. Like, two members of CN Blue are in it.

Another one I started but never finished is She is Wow. It's weird and I'm not really sure how to describe the plot, but all you really need to know is that it's ridiculous and hilarious (it is for me at least). I should actually go finish it soon lol. Jinyoung from B1A4 stars in it (which was originally why I started it lol)

I hear Reply 1994 and Reply 1997 are really good too.

Also, this isn't a Kdrama, but the kmovie 'Sunny' is one of my all time favorites. There are some hilarious scenes where they poke fun at how repetitive kdramas are, but the overall plot and movie is great. 10/10 please do watch it if you can.

I'm not really into drama (most of them are way too cheesy imo) but i've watched “Pinocchio”(2014) and it was fucking awesome…and sad. Any drama like this one ?

I watched this last night. Alright, I kinda sorta cried at the end because I felt bad for her. But this movie sends so many messed up messages to the youngsters. Plus the guys in it treat women like absolute dog shit. Talk about animal abuse and self hate tho.

I've watched quite few jdramas, but want to get into Korean dramas.

I'm not interested in romance at all, so am looking for non-romantic comedy plots. Any recs?
