Could you recommend some interesting kdramas that
Have a good plot
Keep you on your toes
Do not let you down
Do not bore you to death
Basically make you think and wonder what will happen next.
I hope you are doing well. Fighting 😘💜
hi! of course, tis but one of my favorite things to do. i’m not sure which genre you’re looking for exactly but i would love to give you a few of my favorites! 
if you're looking for something crime/mystery/thriller-ery, i would recommend: 
Flower of Evil 
Tumblr media
flower of evil falls somewhere halfway between a thriller/mystery and a melodrama and it. is. wonderful. the plot is excellent and keeps you on your toes, the character development is so so good and i personally really liked the ending. the angst is very real with this one and it brings me so much life. its a show that will definitely get the gears in your brain running trying to figure certain stuff out. this one is a great choice! 
He is Psychometric
Tumblr media
my brain was running a mile a minute with this drama, i was trying to figure things out pretty much the whole first half. its also got some adorable romance in it, and the mystery aspect was done quite well and was sufficiently fucked up, (if you’re sensitive to triggers, this one might be a little iffy, especially towards the end so send me an ask if you’d like a list). i wholly enjoyed this and you might too
if you’re looking for something plot driven with a dash of romance, i recommend:
 Itaewon Class 
Tumblr media
a classic methinks, the plot is wonderful, the characters have a lot of heart and flaws which only endears me to them even more and for a while you genuinely can’t really guess what choices they’re gonna end up making. the romance can be a bit iffy if you really hate *younger person under 19 likes an older person* thing but nothing romantic happens until both are fully grown adults. in fact the older person pushes the younger one away until they’re older. but its very engaging and i adored the couple, the overall story, and the ending! 
Pinocchio 
Tumblr media
a whole throwback! i love this drama,,, like a lot. this is one of my absolute favorite lee jongsuk dramas. it follows these two characters who met each other as kids and grew up in the same family, continuing to live together until after college and everything. they want to become journalists to report the truth, both have their own specific reasons why reporting is so important to them. as the story unfolds, we see them solve and report stories while also finding solutions to personal problems that have plagued them for years! its so so so good, the character growth is great and the romance is beyond adorable. fair warning tho, this is an older kdrama so it can be a bit cliched and for the first couple eps, lee jongsuk will look absolutely goddamn ridiculous. i need you to do me a favor and look past it cause he will get a makeover and look much much better lmao.
if you’re looking for something with romance and character-driven with a great plot, i recommend: 
One Spring Night
Tumblr media
ahhhh one of my comfort favorites. i’m a notorious re-watcher of my favorite shows and i’ve seen one spring night 4 times now. this is a character-driven show with one of the most precious, adorable couples who have chemistry overflowing in every minute they’re together. it follows a single father and woman trapped in a relationship as they meet and go through life together, overcoming prejudices, going through some hard times, and finding safety, love, and comfort in each other. this is a show with the softest bbys i adore with all my heart and i think you might love it too.
It’s Okay To Not Be Okay
Tumblr media
ohhh how could i not mention another favorite show of all time for me. I mention this all the time and absolutely no one can stop me. its the goddamn best, every episode is so interesting and is driven by these incredible characters, both main and side. there's therapy and psychology woven in with some excellent melodrama and an amazing romance. the main leads are no your regular cookie cutter characters, they both have tons of issues and don’t expect to fix each other but look to help one another. they challenge each other out of their comfort zones and find a found family within each other. its also a slow burn! the bread to my butter. if you have happened to not have seen this, please do!! 
some honorable mentions (aka k-movies)
Midnight Runners 
Tumblr media
this movie was so much fun! its a buddy cop movie, following these two cadets going through the police academy together and become best friends. they witness a kidnapping and do their absolute best to be heroes. this movie is incredibly funny, park seo joon and kang ha neul have excellent chemistry in this and play the balance of serious crime stuff, action scenes and stomachache inducing laughter really well. if you have a couple of hours to spare, this is a great movie to watch! 
The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion 
Tumblr media
I had a grand ole time watching this movie, its thrilling, action-packed and has dope as fuck main leads. it follows this genius girl who escaped from a gov’t facility but lost her memories when she was little. she gets adopted by a sweet couple who live on farm and follows her life as some unexpected events and people suddenly crash into her life after she auditions for a music competition. i loooooveeed the action, its so so cool. the plot isn’t the most blow-your-mind-crazy but its very engaging and you will not be bored watching this. you will get sucked in and time will fly as your jaw drops at the cool fight scenes.
I hope this helps! let me know which ones you liked or didn't, i’d love to hear about it 
(if you wanted something similar to Vincenzo, check out Lawless Lawyer!)

Do you really really really think that Vincenzo will have a happy ending?
What are your predictions about episode 19 and 20?
hi! i really really do. the whole show to me has been setting up for Vincenzo winning in the end and chayenzo having a happy ending (whatever that looks like for them!)
i think episode 19 will be the storm before the calm, ya know? cha young is gonna threatened, han seo is gonna get beat up by his brother (i’m rlly rlly hoping they don’t kill him off 😭) and maybe something else and the vincenzo will swoop in around the middle/end and start setting things right. i think ep 19 will be the culmination of han seok being an antagonistic lil bitch
then ep 20 will most likely start off as vincenzo and cha young putting the final nails (aka dealing with myung hee and seung hyeoks asses) in the babel coffin and then it’s happy vincenzo ending time baybeeee
i really really want another chayenzo kiss (obviously, hopefully even 2), i want vincenzo to tell her that he wants to stay in korea with her and geumga. i’m pretty sure geumga is gonna get blown up (remember ep 1) so i want to see the geumga fam all in a shiny new building together. maybe they split the gold between em all and buy the building for themselves!
ooh!! i really want geumga fam to find out about chayenzo and 1) be excited for them and 2) all the guys who have crushes on vincenzo to feel mildly disappointed that he’s taken now 😂😂
while i want (and truly believe) they’re gonna keep vincenzo in korea (because the whole show had also been about him embracing his korean identity), i wouldn’t mind if he had to flee to malta for a little while w cha young. OH maybe they’ll go on vacation to malta... that would be so cute
all in all, i’m very very excited and sad that vincenzo is ending this weekend 😭

What are your thoughts and predictions about Vincenzo so far? Please do give a detailed explanation.I hope you are doing well. Fighting🥰
hi! I’m doing great, thank you for asking 🥰
I love Vincenzo so far, I think its been really excellent! It’s not really a classic lawyer show? it lies more in line with how Lawless Lawyer was, with strong female characters, no love triangle/villain jealously-in-love-with-female-lead nonsense, and smart attractive main leads!
The plot is great, the romance is progressing like a bit of a slow burn (my absolute favorite) and a loooot of satisfying gotcha! moments with our main leads on top. Speaking of them, they’re both anti-heroes which I fucking love because usually its the dude that's the anti-hero and the girl ends up being his moral compass BUT NOT HERE. Hong Cha Young is just as ruthless and unforgiving as Vincenzo is and both of them have their own developed moral compasses. Cha Young is honestly the love of my life, shes the absolute best and so frickin funny i would die for this woman
Tumblr media
I love how they’re (quite literally) partners in crime and makes for excellent dynamics and storytelling. I won’t say too much of the plot but its been very engaging, all the other characters are interesting and complex, its just all around a great show so far. Its woman directed (which yes!!) and that makes sense as to why this show falls under one of the few kdramas out there where a female antagonist isn’t being antagonistic bc of jealousy or a man which yessss gimme more
I definitely recommend that you and anyone else thinking about it should watch it!! come back after you see it and tell me how you like it!

ash!!!! since you came with the aboslute phenomenal genius mind boggling parallel of the plants blooming every seven years as a metaphor of du shik and hye jin meeting i wanted to ask you about the time line?? im confused abt something so okay du shik is a year older than hye jin (right?) so they first met at the beach when hye jin was 7 and du shik 8 and then their second encounter was in middle/high school-ish when hj = 14 and ds = 15 and then did they meet again when they were 21 and 22? am i missing something or did we not see it yet? like did they pass each other in college or smth? bc apart from that we have the third encounter in seoul when hj = 28 and ds = 29 and now finally when hj = 34/35 and ds = 35/36 in gong jin. anyway yeah i cant stop thinking about this. thank you for your time and have a nice day 😘
hi!! wow ur so kind, you're gonna make me blush and I wasn't even that right 😭💞
unfortunately my third eye failed a little and my 7 years theory doesnt completely line up (sad days), we saw them meet as children, teens and then the year du sik comes back to gongjin when his hyung died. we never saw them meet in college on screen (but im gonna believe with my heart of hearts that they did meet in their college days)
thank you so much for sending me the sweetest ask ever 🥺💞 im so sad now that homecha is over.... now what do i do with my weekends :(( now what do i spend my week waiting for :((((((

Hi :)
Just discovered your “2020 in review: Kdramas” and I was wondering if you’re going to make one for this year as well. Definitely going to check, if I already put all of them on my watchlist 🤔🥰
(Strangely, your post appeared while I looked up dramas to skip … Pinocchio was such a huge disappointment for me & now I’m hesitant to start others, especially those with 20+ episodes 🙈)
hello!!
im so happy my '2020 in review' gave you dramas to watch, its one of my absolute favorite things to do 💞im 100% making a 2021 version! i'll be posting it around the last couple days of december bc i've still got some shows to catch up on. i watched so much this year the list might be like 5 pages long lol
thats so funny, i've heard my post tends to show up under some weird places. pinocchio is def a divisive drama, people tend to either love it or hate it. usually dramas that are over 20 eps are usually only 30 min per ep so a 32 episode one ends up really being equivalent to a 16 one-hour ep show. i guess thats why they never really bothered me before!
thank you so much for messaging me! i love hearing that a post i made helped others find shows to watch 🥰 let me know if you end up loving any of them and we can chat!

What are your thoughts on episode 9 and 10 of Vincenzo? If you haven't watched these episodes yet, please do!
Sorry if I bother you with my asks, but you answer them really well and you are very friendly and open-minded, I believe.
Hi! it's no bother at all! I love to chat w people, and that is so kind of you to say about me 💞it’s always a pleasure to see your asks so thank you for sending them ❤️
I loved eps 9 and 10 of vincenzo, we got to see a deeper look into all the characters and it's so good. 
I loved cha young and vincenzo’s interactions, they're either super precious, funny, or just flat-out badass and I'm here for it. We totally know they’re both in love w each other (or at least like each other vv much) and watching them realize it themselves so cute. The scene with vincenzo ditching her at the hotel amused me a little too much lmao. I love their balance of chill and chaotic energy, they’re so perfect for each other. cha young and vincenzo are totally married and domestic and I'm ready for them to start making out pls. like they touch each other constantly and whew. 
Tumblr media
CAN I JUST SAY THAT THAT JUN WOO’S PSYCHOPATHIC TENDENCIES ARE GETTING SCARY???? LIKE HE WAS FUNNY AND ENTERTAINING AT FIRST BUT GODDAMN...... He’s highkey terrifying but I also feel like han seo is gonna like.. try to kill him or take over or something? cause he ain't right either. I don’t think vincenzo and cha young are gonna be able to get him on their side. maybe he’ll take down jun woo along with them but it’ll 100% be for personal gain.
I feel like the residents are gonna get so close to finding the gold but can’t get to it nd then vincenzo is gonna share it with them secretly because he likes them all so much and cares about them. i could be wrong lol 
OH the assistant to the OG guy who owned the gold and is helping vincenzo now... he’s being real creepy. he’s probably gonna try to blow up the building without vincenzo knowing or something. but I like that we see him be his same slimeball self but now in contrast to vincenzo (who has grown to show more empathy and care about the tenants) looks even worse. 
i’m really looking forward to vincenzo telling his mom who he is, maybe even helping her out of jail if she can survive the cancer. I really really don’t want her to die either 1. find out he's her son and then die or 2. never finding out and dying. both are sucky options and i would appreciate if neither happened. 
those are just a few of my thoughts, next time i’ll make sure to answer a little earlier when everythings more fresh in my noggin 😂

Important Question -
Does Flower of Evil have a happy ending?Are main leads happy and very much fine and in love with each other?
good question lol
it’s a mystery thriller so i’ll try not to spoil anything but yes. by the end of the show both main leads are not miserable, alive and love each other. (fine is such a relative term isn’t it? 😅) they’re both okay, i promise it’s not a sad ending.
it’s an amazing show and you should really give it a chance!! the main leads are beyond adorable, the show is an emotional rollercoaster

Hello human💜,
Would you mind recommending me some swoonworthy, light-hearted but not dumb and cringey kdramas, but do not have many cliché drama tropes. I like unique ones.
Your's truly,
R
hello!! of course, you're speaking my language now. I adore a good swoonworthy romance that isn't 2010 era cliche/cringe. i mean every kdrama has its cliche moments but sometimes i enjoy them!! especially if the couple has great chemistry 😂I'm answering this a bit late, I'm so sorry!! college has been kicking my butt a bit lately 
some of these are extremely popular and you might've watched them already, if that's the case send me another ask! or you can look through my watchlist on mydramalist in my bio. 
we’ve got
the loves of my life:
It’s Okay To Not Be Okay 
we know this one, many of us adore it (i am one), its a grand ole time. metal health, dislike to love, found family, personal emotional growth, and some of the best main lead chemistry ever.
While You Were Sleeping 
another well loved classic, this graced our eyeballs in 2016 (which I believe to be one of the more superior kdrama release years). its got more dislike to love, some magical realism, one of the better love triangles in drama land, cool careers (i love shows about jobs, this has journalists, prosecutors, and rookie cop) and more precious adorable chemistry between leads. 
 Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo
Tumblr media
this is my absolute favorite, i adore this. it’s a comfort rewatch for me and i’ve seen it maybe 4?? times by now? and i honestly could watch it again. its set in college (which i love cause for some reason we don't get college set dramas too often) and is so warm hearted, adorable and makes me clutch my chest in feels every time. its also got (can you guess?) more dislike to love! (is it obvious yet that this seems to be a fav trope of mine lmao)
Just Between Lovers 
ughhh this one is so angsty and makes me drown in feels. it talks about survivor guilt, trauma, and more personal growth. this one is a bit heavier, not too lighthearted but the romance is so cute and fluffy that you might consider it! 
One Spring Night 
Tumblr media
i will scream about this drama from the rooftops, ITS SO CUTE. the main leads have the best chemistry, theres an adorable kid, and the show overall has a very airy feel. that airiness however is balanced with heavier topics like societal prejudice, what’s expected of women, abusive relationships (its a side character), and so on. but the romance is so swoonworthy i could cry 
When The Camellia Blooms 
another kdrama community fav!! and for good reason! its lighthearted, extremely funny and romance is adorable. again, balanced with heavier topics like murder, custody, and the daily struggle of being a woman 
The Tale of Nokdu 
Tumblr media
I’m not a huge sageuk person, i don't usually like historical stuff or plots that get too political (aka almost every sageuk ever) but tale of nokdu i loved!! its so different and interesting compared to other sageuks, the main lead disguises himself as a woman for certain reasons (and its done respectfully??? we love to see it) and is so so funny and lighthearted. the romance is adorable and the main characters bickering is so fun to watch
Memorials or Into the Ring 
so so cute, the main leads chemistry is tippy top notch. the story aspect i didn't necessarily love but the romance??? sign me up again, its so so cute. hilarious main leads, wonderful female friendships, and all around chaotic energy.
I liked them a lot!! just an inch off loving them:
Fight For My Way 
Strong Woman Do Bong Soon 
Suspicious Partner 
Eulachacha Waikiki (both 1 and 2) 
Goblin 
Start-up 
Touch Your Heart
Tumblr media
Extraordinary You (turns classic cliches on its head) 
Tumblr media
When The Weather is Fine 
Moment at Eighteen 
Tumblr media
I hope you find something you’ll like!! I really really liked all of these and would recommend anyone watch. now that im looking back at my list, i apparently really like shows with long-ass titles 😂😂these are all unique in some aspect or another and are v fun and def have lighthearted/swoonworthy moments

Hi sweetie,
I just wanted to ask, is The Untamed a good show?
And does it have a happy ending?
hi! yes! it’s really good, i enjoyed it more for the relationships between the main two characters. but the rest of the show is really good
i would say that it’s a bit long and can get draggy with some episodes so that’s something to keep in mind. it’s 50 eps, each clocking around 50 minutes
and yes, it’s a happy ending! a lot of deaths and other mature themes do happen a lot in show but the actual ending is a happy one. if you want me to list out the trigger warnings, i’d be happy to do so!

Can I just say you are an absolutely wonderful person for offering trigger warnings? Because you are. *Thank you.*
you’re so sweet 🥺💞💞 you honestly made my day
sweet home (and other dramas) are pretty intense and it would be my pleasure to make sure others are comfortable to watch them
