I need non-BL help. I’m going out-of-town next week with just my mom and I want to pick something to watch with her. She loves kdramas but not BLs. She doesn’t especially love romance, more slice of life. She doesn’t like anything supernatural, so no time travel. She says her favorite kdramas are
My Mister (2018) and
Prison Playbook (2017). She’s only watched one cdrama,
Pursuit of Jade (2026), which she loved.
There are a lot of great historicals on Viki. Here's a few I've seen and love.
Are You the One (romance - one of my fav couple relationships of any drama)
Knight Flower (shortest drama on this list, mystery, romance, comedy, badass female lead)
The Prisoner of Beauty (smart FL, romance, politics. I couldn't stop watching this one)
Both of these titles could be considered slice-of-life. Both in my top favs.
Five Enough (romance, comedy, melodrama, blended family - 54 eps though)
You Are My Lover Friend (I loved just about every side character, great main couple, best story of friends to lovers I've watched) Might feel slow for some.
Great suspense, politics, romance and action. It's old (2012) but really good.
The King 2 Hearts
I checked and all these are on Viki.
