Need recommendation for a lesser-known drama
Hi! I’ve watched (almost) every Korean rom-com drama in existence, but I recently realized I may have overlooked a few lesser-known ones.
Reading through people’s comments made me aware that I must have missed some hidden gems. For example, I somehow skipped Mad for Each Other.
So I’d love some recommendations based on my viewing preferences:
It must have a happy ending. This is non-negotiable.
Bonus points if it has a fun, lighthearted opening theme. It usually signals that everything will turn out okay.
The genre could be school, rom-com, melodrama, or relationship drama, with a happy ending. Please no main leads dying of cancer or some obscure illness a screenwriter dug up in a medical dictionary. White trucks of doom or amnesia are fine, as long as the story ends well.
No horror, medical, fantasy, thriller, noir, or anything overly unrealistic. The lighter and more realistic, the better.
Some of my all-time favorites are:
Something in the Rain
Lovestruck in the City
Another Oh Hae Young
A Wife’s Credentials
That said, I’ve enjoyed most of the dramas I’ve watched, even historical ones.
Once again, please keep in mind that I’ve seen all the well-known dramas, almost all the lesser-known ones, and most of the not-well-known ones. I’m really only looking for the easy-to-miss titles at this point.
I know it’s a tough ask, but if anyone can think of something, it’s probably you guys.
Thanks in advance! 🫶 Saranghae!
