"Hotel de luna"and "The Clown Crown" was also nice. Mr Sunshine was wonderful--- three destined males in the perfect positions karmically to help the female lead maintain her goal.

I’m an American who lives in Arizona, I wanted to watch something different on tv, so I went to Netflix and picked a k-drama. Here I am 3 months later and haven’t left. I watch one after another. I’m in this rabbit hole and don’t want to get out. They put me in a happy mood.😊

@@irenefancher597 - yes. I thought it was cute, although some of the antics of the FL were a bit over the top, but that’s the nature of those romcoms. I liked that it was only 12 episodes. Sometimes there’s a lot of filler in the story to bring it up to 16 eps. My favorite workplace romantic comedies are What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim and Her Private Life.

[@coffeytnmilk7]

It’s Okay to not be Okay is my all time favorite! It was not on this list. It had it all in my opinion - romance, comedy, and such sweet dealings with difficult mental health issues. The acting was incredible! I’m firmly down the rabbit hole since starting K dramas six months ago! 😂 There have been several I seriously could not watch the last episode because of what I knew would happen - Start Up, Yumis cells … 😭😂. I was so mad at who she chose for Start Up that I literally refused to watch it. And can I say that I hate the shows being dubbed. It’s a bit harder for me having to read the subtitles but I much prefer the actors real voices personally. I haven’t watched Vicenzo yet because it’s dubbed but I love the male lead so much! I’m amazed at the charisma and talent of so many of these actors - Jung Hae In in particular. I really want to watch Snow Drop but I just can’t subscribe to every streaming service sadly.

Do you know the meaning of underrated???

[@aparna12242]

The ending is complete bullshit, very forced and the plot is extremely predictable. It was good only till the first 7 episodes or so. "It's Okay to not be Okay" is very overrated in my opinion. Dramas like Twenty-one-twenty-five and Our Blues are 10 times better, any day.

[@aparna12242]

@@shwetaagarwal6775 As someone who has been struggling with mental health for years the portrayal of it missed a mark and at some points overly exaggerated which they did solely to add to the dramatic-ness of it all (which I thought was unnecessary) The entire evil mom being the nurse in disguise was predictable, laughable and a complete force fit in my opinion. The ending was rushed and honestly it just seemed like the writers wanted to somehow conclude it. Also once again the kdrama cliche of the actor and actress meeting in their childhood. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Fyi, I am a person who has severe mental health problems and has been on medications since 10 years. Two of my own cousins took their own life so it runs very deep in my family. So I’m saying this as someone who has experienced it first hand.

[@r.c.5827]

Crash Landing is my all time favorite. It was not my first K-drama, which was the King's Affection (which I love and still watch), but it raised the bar for me. The acting was great, the chemistry was very strong, and the male lead was unbearably sexy (especially in uniform, to be honest). I think I like it more than other k-romances because the actors are older (as I am). Also, there is something fascinating in an awful way about the North Korea/South Korea divide. Yes, the lead female character is gross in certain ways (all money, money, money), but she's also likable and genuine. But the ending was disappointing. Grrr! I am now a full blown K-drama junkie, however, largely because I can't get over how handsome the men are. Good grief! Must make a visit to Korea soon!

[@monicarobinson5098]

The kings affection is how I got started with Kdrama a year ago and now I cant stop. I feel like I have seen every drama/romcom now.

sat here waiting for these titles to show up but they never did, so i'll list them myself: - VINCENZO: a dark comedy w/ one hell of a twist (you will do a double-take; might even go back and rewatch the first few episodes to make sure you didn't misunderstand) and one of the most natural slow-burn romances seen. this one really has *everything* you'd want in a k-drama. it's top-tier. - BUSINESS PROPOSAL: a perfect, all-in-one blend of the quintessential romance genre tropes and deliciously done so; plus, the two couples look like they could've given birth to kim taehyung (shin ha-ri & kang tae-mu) and jeon jungkook (jin young-seo & cha sung-hoon) of bts. - RUN-ON: a refreshing in every which way yet shamefully underrated drama. - MY MISTER: a heartwarming story about an unlikely friendship between a down-on-her-luck young woman and a wronged-yet-noble middle-aged man; their relationship is the word comfort itself. - START-UP: incredibly inspiring with an endearing relationship between a young kid and a sweet ol' grandma. - ITAEWON CLASS: super-inclusive bad-ass revenge drama with an awesome soundtrack, to boot. the titles mentioned in this video are brilliant. i especially loved signal, goblin and hometown cha cha cha. currently watching twenty-five twenty-one and tomorrow and i've got reply 1988 and taxi driver on my watchlist!

Although i hate the ending 'Twenty Five Twenty One ' top my list. One of the best kdrama existing out here and I swear by it. Honestly I first started watching this drama for NJH but Kim Tae Ri was the one I fell for.A drama that reflected the face of reality so beautifully. It showed us the way life actually works and turns out to be, never knowing what difficulties or the happiness awaits us at the curve. It's not like every other feelgood k-drama. You guys should also check out Kim Taeri's 'Mr Sunshine' and 'The Handmaiden. Its so good. Now im her biggest fan ♥️

i’ve never bawled my eyes out and been absolutely furious more to a kdrama then in tomorrow but i also never laughed and smiled more than in tomorrow because the cases they worked on and the people they saved was so endearing

[@MarianPoeppelmeyer]

Crash Landing On You is my all time favorite. Not only does it provide a peek at life in N Korea and the cultural differences between a communist society and a free society, it provides a well written love romance, with added humor. It was well casted, too - from the key stars to the supporting actors and actresses. The cinematography - how it was produced, screen played, and filmed - adds to this excellent story line. I introduce others to K Drama by showing them Crash Landing on You first. It is a must see K Drama.

Reply 1988 is more family and friendly and is a bit longer. While the other two are more focused on romance. Weightlifting fairy kim bok-joo takes place in college and Our beloved summer in adult life, the main characters already know each other and are exes (which changes a lot from usual).
