I need some non k-drama recs
I’ve been wanting to explore Asian dramas outside of kdramas. I think I tried one or two but neither clicked. I’m open to any and all languages/countries. I feel like I’ve watched most of the “good” kdramas, and I’ve been in a bit of a drought. ‘Tis the season - I’m stuck indoors because of the snow. Please drop your favs!
Here are some of my favorite kdramas to give an idea of my tastes. I love romance and dark mystery/thrillers. Open to all genres though!
- Move to Heaven
- The Glory
- Worst of Evil
- Signal
- Reply 1988
- Mouse
- Hometown ChaChaCha
- King of Pigs
- Light Shop
- Trauma Code: Heroes on Call
- My Dearest
Some popular ones I didn’t care for (I don’t like cheesy ones):
- twinkling watermelon (it was okay)
- lovely runner (I HATE this one. Aegyo from the FL made me get such horrible second hand embarrassment)
- What’s wrong with secretary kim?
- secret garden
- my name
- anything with Lee Jong Suk or Park Shin Hye😭
