As for me,fell free to inspect my profile. I have written my favorite genres, what i prefer and what I avoid. If not, just recommend me anything that you wish, I'm open to anything!

I accept @Arclei 's recommendations to watch Nagatan to Aoto: Ichika no Ryourijou! I was convinced to start my first Japanese drama. Also, i want to express my appreciation for recommendating small dramas! Life has been so busy recently 🙃

Status: Completed

Rating: 8/10

The drama was focused in culinary art and the empowerment of women. It was a great watch, it had no major drama and it  touched upon the taboo of the age gap couples. Thanks for the nice recommendations!

I'm open to anything!

Hi @Stardust_stroller! 

I took a look at your profile and noticed you seem to enjoy well-written romance. This isn't really my forte so I went mostly based on the tropes you mentioned enjoying. I hope these are to your liking ^^

	Nagatan to Aoto: Ichika no Ryourijou  Jdrama - 10 eps Historical, Food, Romance, Life - Marriage first, slow burn | Cute fluff with an age gap
	Our Dining Table  Jdrama - 10 eps Romance, Food, Drama, BL - Friends to lovers | Also cute fluff
	Bloody Heart  Kdrama - 16 eps Historical, Melodrama, Political, Romance - Second chance, lovers to enemies to lovers | This one is a bit more complicated and quite political, but the romance was intense and angsty. Both leads have a tendency to be manipulative, tho due to the genre
	A Dream like the True Love  Cdrama - 24 eps Historical, Romance, Drama - Friends to lovers, forbidden love | Bit of an unusual romance situation
	Begin Again  Cdrama - 35 eps Romance, Business, Comedy - Fake relationship, second chance | Reversal of the typical cold CEO ML romance. FL does display some manipulative behaviour
	The Day of Becoming You  Cdrama - 24 eps Romance, Comedy - kinda enemies to friends to lovers | Body swap. Very funny
	Shijukara  Jdrama - 12 eps Romance, Psychological, Drama - Forbidden love | Darker and more taboo than the others

If you want different recommendations, let me know! ^^ No hard feelings.

Recc request: Something that's unusual. Not like the other dramas/movies. Unique premises, settings, characters, etc. Something that stands out from either dramas in general or within its genre ^^

Please do check out my likes and dislikes list on my profile. I appreciate it greatly 🙏 You can also go through my completed list, but my profile info will give a better idea of what I typically enjoy ^^ My PTW is a mess, but feel free to take a look if you're so inclined. Lastly, I tend not to enjoy very popular dramas as much, so hidden-gem recommendations would be ideal. 

• Preferably nothing too long. Miniseries, short-length series, movies, or specials are ideal (under 8 hours if possible). 
• No tragedies, sad endings, or terminal illnesses. (Open or bittersweet endings are fine, but I'd appreciate a heads up for the latter).
• Minimal body horror.
• No healing dramas/movies.
• Nothing that's too messed up.

Since I'm a heavy mood-watcher and fussy about what I watch, I might ask for more/different recommendations. Thank you for your time <3

Thank you @Anne613 for the recommendations! A of interesting ones so I'll try some out and take some time to decide on my pick! ^^
