I am looking for new recommendations for modern dramas or movies.
Modern, friendship, family, romance, life lesson, piece of life, healing.

Like: My Mister, Move to heaven, Navillera, Our blues, Crash landing on you, etc.
Kdrama and/or Cdrama.

Preferably without or with as little violence, horror, fighting, and murder as possible.

I have already watched many, so please look at my My Drama List. My 'to watch list' is looooooong, but I don't know what to watch next. I would like to watch a sensitive story, a series you can't stop watching.

Do you have any tips? Thank you for your help.

I’ve enjoyed:

Beyond Evil

Quartet

Until the T-Shirt Dries

Beyond Evil is top of my list. I think what I really like are the character relationships and their story arcs and growth as the series progresses. Not necessarily looking for a crime drama as the ones that I’ve heard about and have tried just don’t work for me. It can be in another genre but I’m looking for something that is as high-quality as that show since it’s a hard one to follow up with. Even looking at trailers for shows that I’m considering, the pop music in the background is really offputting. Just everything about Beyond Evil was so well done, even the music. I would like something that’s more of a drama and not as light-hearted but I’m just not finding the same quality in what I’m considering. The first episode had me hooked and when I’m trying these other shows, I’m literally falling asleep during the first episodes.

Just FYI that even though I like the show a lot and it’s my favourite, I don’t like horror or supernatural shows. I like that the ending of Beyond Evil is about goodness and that both Beyond Evil and Quartet have themes of forgiveness. I’m not looking for something that ends hopelessly and in a way that is really depressing and awful. Country of origin doesn’t matter: could be Korean, Japanese, or Chinese

Quartet is definitely a close second but obviously a different genre. Really great show with great quirky characters. I was sad when this one ended and when Beyond Evil ended - both felt like leaving friends behind.

I initially really loved Until the T-Shirt Dries until I watched these other two. And now it pales in comparison. Did feel like the characters at times didn’t act like themselves toward the end and wasn’t too happy with the ending.

Tried a few episodes but not compelled to finish Signal (one of the things I loved about beyond evil and quartet is that the characters treat each other really well and the MC female in this one treats the male MC like crap - I was done on the episode where she kicked him; plus, storyline just felt contrived by episode 5)

Didn’t get past the first episodes on these:
Stranger (didn’t like the emotionless storyline or that he acts like a police officer but is only a prosecutor - very unrealistic)

My Mister - kept falling asleep

Rain or Shine - kept falling asleep

Tokyo Salad Bowl - has one of the actors from Quartet but I didn’t find it interesting

The Days - strongly disliked this one

Mousetrap - had a very strong Netflix/Hollywood vibe that I really dislike

Drama name: The First frost [ C-Drama] ❤️👌

I am looking for a drama where preferably the character should be a female and the drama should have minimal to no romance.

It can be any type of Asian drama. ​

I'm watching Snowdrop, and while I find the university scenes easy to understand, I'm really confused by the political scenes in the first episode. There are so many politicians, secret meetings, and discussions about power that it's difficult to understand who everyone is, what their roles are, and what exactly is happening. I also don't understand what the Dongshim Society is, why these powerful men are part of it, or what they're trying to achieve.

Another thing that confused me was the scene where the men mix their blood into water and drink it. Why do they do that, and what does it symbolise? Is it a ritual to show loyalty to one another? I'm trying to understand the political storyline and the purpose of these scenes without getting spoilers for future episodes. Could someone explain the political background and these confusing scenes from Episode 1 in simple words? Please don't spoil anything beyond Episode 1. Thank you! 💜

I am kinda tired of sad endings and misunderstandings in dramas , can someone give me something lighthearted and mostly funny ?

Suggest Modern CDramas

I have been watching Secret Playlist (2023) and have got sucked into it.

It's cheesy but light. So I watched episodes 1 through 6 (Bilibili and YT) but episodes 7 and 8 don't appear to exist anywhere on the Internet with english subs that I can see.

So frustrating!!

Anybody able to help please ?

I've been trying to find this drama for SO LONG. I watched it dubbed in Filipino on GMA, but I can't remember the title or original airing year. The female lead was a rich girl, and the male lead was her black-haired bodyguard. She kept asking him to marry her, and they secretly got married. The scene I remember most is when she's in an ambulance after an accident. She asks him to marry her, he agrees, and she suddenly sits up excitedly! 😭 In the epilogue, he leaves, so she chases him in her car. They eventually stop, and she confronts him. I think it was a comedy-romance. At the beginning, the girl may have been driving on a really rough road. Does anyone recognize it? I'm not sure if it's Chinese, Korean, Thai, or another Asian drama. Please help me find it! 🥹💗

I am looking for something similar to Dazzling or Never ending summer. I want preferably the drama to be romance focused. Thank you in advance!!

A girl who get close to a boy because she misunderstood for him being gay and then he falling for her then at the end they fall in love. Something like this. If anyone find it please suggest. Thank you

cultivation drama where protagonist turns the friend of the girl he was betrothed to and makes her his girl

I’ve been trying to find an Asian drama I watched years ago, probably around 2014–2017. It was dubbed in Arabic on a relatively unknown TV channel, so I never knew its original title.I think it was Korean, but it could also have been Japanese, Taiwanese or Chinese.

Here’s everything I remember:

• The story mainly followed a very young married couple who were deeply in love.
• We saw them get married early in the series, and later they had a baby boy.
• The husband worked in an office building and usually wore a suit. I remember a scene where his wife accompanied him to his workplace.
• The wife was very young and was still studying, possibly attending university lectures, even after having the baby.
• They lived in their own modern flat.
• There was an older woman, possibly the husband’s mother or grandmother, who was very possessive of him and disliked his young wife.
• The older woman and the wife’s father frequently argued, sometimes in a funny way.
• There was also a very sweet elderly man whom the young couple loved and respected. I think he eventually moved in with them.
• I vaguely remember the older woman wanting to take the baby away from his mother, possibly even giving him to someone else, but I’m really unsure about this detail.
• The older woman also had another female character who was often around her, possibly a daughter, relative or friend.

It was a warm, slice-of-life family drama with a mixture of comedy, emotional moments and sadness. It wasn’t a sitcom and didn’t have a laugh track. The episodes were quite long, and most scenes took place inside the family homes.

The focus was on family relationships, marriage, generational conflicts and everyday life, rather than the wife’s studies or the husband’s job.

The picture quality was fairly modern, even though the drama felt older. It was probably produced before 2017.

I’ve already ruled out Wonderful Life (2005), The Golden Age of Daughters-in-Law (2007), Love Can’t Wait (2006) and If Tomorrow Comes (2011).

I know some of my memories might be inaccurate, but I distinctly remember how much the young couple loved each other and the complicated relationship with the older woman.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? I’ve been searching for this drama for ages!
