Good list. I will add:

Little Women 3 sisters struggle to survive in dangerous circumstances and some gothic flair around some murders

Lost. Superb slow burn indie drama beautifully produced.

Kingdom a twist on people getting virus from some mysterious plants given to a dying king a scheming second pregnant wife is trying to keep alive. Crown prince from first marriage is only one to help.

We're watching Gyeongseong Creature and it's a pretty decent horror/drama

I have not watched that yet. My “to watch list “ for kdramas and c dramas is vast and endless. 😁

I would also add

Business proposal- (romantic comedy)

Uncanny counters 1-2 ( action -fun)

Start up! ( competing for better life )

Hello, me! (Time travel your younger yourself -comedy)

there are many more I can add.

Season 1 was so awesome. It really is hard to compare to anything else. Cast ensemble was the greatest ever. I'm so glad FL did not return for season 2. The rest of the Cast was amazing for 2 and what they had to work with. The writing for the FL plot was awful.

Uncanny Counter is similar in a different way n great. I loved AoS didn't watch S2 because of all reviews n main character wasn't in it.

• Vincenzo

• D.P

• Hyena

• Uncanny Counter

• Alchemy Of Souls

• Flower Of Evil

Monsters/action:

Other stuff, search.www, our beloved summer, it’s ok to not be ok, itaewon class, sky castle.

Sweet home (action, monsters), Sound of Your Heart OG(comedy, stupid but fun), Because this is my first Life ( romance, marriage of convenience)

25 21 was really good I thought.

My favorite Korean show I’ve watched so far is Vincenzo though.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo is pretty great

Is atorney woo a k drama? If it is then you should watch it. If you like law shows with a some drama, you should watch it.

Understandable! It is very dark and intense. Some other recommendations I forgot are Sky Castle and Little Women, great shows.

I liked the other lawyer who hated woo but always helped her then they became friends.

Bloodhounds is a great crime/action drama. Two young boxers run afoul of some shady loan sharks but receive assistance from a reformed loan shark.

Silent sea. Sci fi Earth where water is scarce.

Tbh I'm only 4 episodes in but really liking it so far.

There is a lot of good K-Drama, especially if you like the romcom type, here is some of my recommendation :

Start Up : business tech start up company
Crash Landing on You : romcom about south korea and north korea couple
Kingdom : zombie apocalypse in ancient korea setting

Mr. Sunshine

Flower of evil

My mister

It's okay to not be okay

Twenty five twenty one

Vagabond

Legend of the blue sea

Sh**ting stars

Don't dare to dream

One spring night

Suspicious partner

Penthouse

The world of the married

Love to hate you

The secret life of my secretary

Do you have mydramalist? If not then can you list the dramas you've seen?

My Name

New one being released tomorrow called when life gives you tangerines.

It's Okay to Not Be Okay & Bulgasal, Immortal Souls

• Beyond Evil - Two frenemy cops who are both hiding things chase a been-doing-this-for-a-while serial killer. Both are unreliable narrators through most of the show. Excellent dialogue. No romance. Mystery. Great show.
• Flower of Evil - A husband who is hiding things and his cop wife chase a(nother) been-doing-this-for-a-while serial killer. Watch this one for their awesome marriage. They're totally couples-goals material.
• The Glory - Trigger warning: Abuse. Revenge flick.
• Mr. Queen - A very full of himself modern top chef is transmigrated into the body of a young queen in ancient Korea. Funny as all git out before it gets more serious. Like really really funny.
• Kingdom 1&2 - Zombies! in a historical setting. The Crown Prince travels to a distant county to check out some reported trouble while the court does something unspeakable.
• My Mister - Just a quiet masterpiece slice-of-life drama.
• Reply 1988 - Another masterpiece slice-of-life drama.
• Business Proposal - Romcom with every romcom cliche the Koreans know... done right. And you don't know all of them yet, so enjoy!
• Mr. Sunshine - Set during the Japanese Occupation period of Korea. A little thriller. A little mystery. A little romance. Great drama.
• Tale of the Nine Tailed - Eastern Asia doesn't really do Vampires and Zombies, because they have another folklore character called the nine-tailed fox. This is a fun romance built around the supernatural world of the gumiho.

Crash Landing On You
The King Eternal Monarch
Our Beloved Summer
Because This Is My First Life
Mad For Each Other
Flower of Evil

These are my faves on Netflix! They are all a mix of genres. Currently airing is My Demon and Welcome to Samdalri which are both great too!

I just happen to have a spread sheet with all the Netflix Korean content I've consumed over the last four years. [Sorry if this is TMI....]

In the US, Netflix has the most Korean content. I ended up subscribing to Rakuten / Viki as well.

I second it . It is one of the best kdramas ever!

i really recommend our beloved summer! one of the most well-written romance dramas

Along with what others wrote, I really enjoyed the premise of Hello, Me! It’s not like other shows and really makes you think, plus it’s pretty funny.

You have to watch Hometown Cha Cha Cha and Like Flowers in Sand- such a fun small town vibe and slice of life shows.

I have already mentioned Castaway Diva under the youth show category.

Don’t forget Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung!

Signal was quite a good thriller. I also like Midnight Diner, it is a Japanese drama though.

Reply 1988! It does a marvelous job immersing you to South Korea 30-35 years ago, and is carried by an insanely good cast dynamic. You'll feel nostalgic for a time and place you've never been to (unless you've been to South Korea in the 80s-90s, but that's beside the point).

The Uncanny Counter has been one of my favorites. Definitely worth a watch

Crash landing on you is amazing!

It's Okay to not be Okay

This is late. I like: “The Uncanny Counter” “Alchemy of Souls” “BLOODHOUNDS” “BLACK KNIGHT”

Something in the rain?

None, go back to sleep.

If you like Realistic dramas:

1. Stranger (2017): An investigative crime drama, with really good acting by the two leads, with an unpredictable plot and twists, that has a little bit of politics between police and prosecutors. Would only recommend season 1.
2. My Mister (Starring IU, Leen Sun Gyun) : really dark, heart aching drama about broken people who heal each other, a bit slow paced but soothing to watch.
3. Something in the Rain (2017) & One Spring Night (2019) : Created by the same writer, both stars Jung Hae-in, and revolves around relationships that are frowned upon / or considered taboo in Korean society. Very naturalistic acting, and shares casts with really good acting. I personally prefer something in the rain, but both are worth the watch!
4. Misaeng (2014): an office drama with a fantastic cast, and great writing, which is so realistic in portraying the lives of up and coming young adults starting out work in a big corporation, which depicts each of their struggles, especially the sensitive lead (played by Siwan) who starts out as an intern without the educational background. Every character here grows over time, and shows office politics can be very interesting and dramatic. Check out Hell is other people (for more of Siwan!)

Romantic Comedy / Dramas:

1. When the Camillia Blooms (2019): the best romantic comedy I have watched which shows how funny Kang Ha Neul can be, raising all standards for men with his very sensitive, honest, open performance as a police man who protects Gong Yo Jin's character who is a beautiful single mom who is headstrong and independent, but a bit of a pushover. The show mixes genres naturally, with serial killer on the lose mixed with rom com.
2. Start Up (2020): The biggest kdramas of the end of the year, very popular kdrama with great leads, especially Kim Seon ho (a successful business investor with a big heart who is incredibly rational and honest), Nam Joo Hyuk (a genius developer who is so sensitive and socially awkward that it makes you frustrated, but makes you fight for him). This show depicts start ups realistically, including Hackathons, and how companies can be acquired, or grown independently, etc that teaches you a little about the importance of having different roles in a business, and recognizing one's strengths and weaknesses, and never giving up your dreams by taking risks.

Fantasy / Thriller:

1. School Nurse Files: If you cannot get enough of Nam Joo Hyuk from Start up, this show is worth checking out, which is unique on its own, a fantasy/comedy mini series which reminds you of stranger things and its completely eclectic and amusing to watch.
2. Kingdom: SO GOOD, best zombie thriller I have seen this year, surpasses expectations, as it is very scary, and fits in historical genre perfectly.

Shows I watched, but wouldn't recommend: Crash Landing on You, It's Okay not to be Okay (a big oof)
