Looking for great romance K-dramas! (Loved What's Wrong with Secretary Kim)
Hi everyone,
I haven't watched a ton of K-dramas yet, so I'm not sure what to pick up next. I consume pretty much every type of media (anime, web series, movies, Asian dramas, webtoons, donghuas, etc.), so I'm very open-minded and don't need to stick to one specific genre.
Right now, I'm specifically in the mood for more K-dramas. I just finished What's Wrong with Secretary Kim and Business Proposal (so all the details from them are still really fresh in my mind, but I did really enjoy all the other shows on my watched list too!). I'm looking for something that has great romance scenes, so for now i don't want to watch action based k-dramas if there is only bit then that can be manageable . Just to clarify, I don't necessarily look for characters with a dark past, but I am completely fine with it if they have one—it adds depth to the story and explains who they are in the present. I've actually enjoyed plenty of shows where characters deal with dark or tragic pasts, like Vincenzo, It's Okay to Not Be Okay, Goblin, and Pinocchio.
In Secretary Kim, I really loved Secretary Kim's character, and the male lead, Lee Young-joon, was absolutely hilarious to watch. It was so much fun seeing them navigate their relationship. I also really liked the side characters and their individual stories, though having a strong supporting cast is just an optional bonus for me!
Another optional plot point I really enjoy is a difference in the characters' family situations or wealth. I liked the dynamic of a rich male lead in What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, and I equally loved the flip side with a wealthy female lead in Queen of Tears.
To give you an idea of my taste, here are the shows I have already watched:
- All of Us Are Dead
- Business Proposal
- Crash Landing on You
- Descendants of the Sun
- Goblin
- I Am Not a Robot
- It's Okay to Not Be Okay
- My Demon
- My Strange Hero
- Pinocchio
- Queen of Tears
- The Heirs
- The Uncanny Counter
- Vincenzo
- W: Two Worlds
- What's Wrong with Secretary Kim
Does anyone have any recommendations with a similar vibe? Thanks in advance!
