I really like these types of dramas whereas it has elements of sad and funny at the same time. Preferably the sad element is more than the happy ones. The kind of dramas where you find yourself laughing, and later on ryin your hearts out. Similar ones ive wathed is Because This is My First Life. I miss the rollercoaster feeling. Is there any dramas like this? I also wantit to be recent ones. 2019>>> . Thank you!

🌿 First: You will love Be Melodramatic & My Liberation Notes

These are dramas that feel like quiet poetry with a bite of humor — deep, funny, slow, real.

💛My Top Favorites

  • Be Melodramatic
    A must-watch for anyone craving dry wit, lonely twenty-somethings, and meta chaos wrapped in healing.

  • My Liberation Notes
    This isn’t just a drama — it’s therapy for anyone feeling emotionally trapped.

  • Our Movie
    A slow burn, melancholic to funny, with a raw authenticity. Tone-wise, fits right in here.

  • Summer Strike

    Quiet healing in a small town. Awkward silences, gentle bonds, and that comforting loneliness you choose.

  • Hello, My Twenties! (Age of Youth)

    Bro this starts as comedy, but I cried for a week. 🥲
    Messy girlhood, dark backstories, found family.

  • My Mister

    Soft, sorrowful, surprisingly funny in the quietest way.
    A man in midlife crisis, a girl drowning in debt, both clinging to dignity.

  • Radiant (The Light in Your Eyes)

    !!!! ALERT !!!! THIS IS A MASTERPIECE
    Starts off light, ends with you staring into the void. Existential, heartwarming, mind-blowing.

  • Misaeng

    Workplace burnout simulator. Gritty, realistic, but oddly healing.


  • The Smile Has Left Your Eyes

    Dark romance. Teases with sarcasm, then devastates emotionally.



🐚 Dramas with a Melancholic Start that Bloom into Comedy

These start heavy but gradually reveal humor, warmth, and healing:

  • Always Home (Chinese)

    Just watch it. You’ll understand why this is here.

  • Heart of the Genius (Chinese)

    School life, family, pain, and growth. Underrated gem.

💬A lot of Chinese dramas often begin happy and pure — then slowly tear you apart emotionally.
If you're into Chinese dramas (modern, psychological, school, historical, war, fantasy, etc.), let me know — I’ll send genre-based recs.


😆 More on the Funny Side (But Still Soulful)

These dramas use humor as a survival mechanism:

  • Work Later, Drink Now

    Raw, chaotic female friendships. Laugh-out-loud moments mixed with heartbreak.

  • The Sound of Your Heart

    Absurd slapstick meets low-key existential dread.
    A comic strip come to life.
