older kdramas from the early 2000s

I would recommend you the movie A Walk to Remember  from 2004. It is quite good.  

Not something I would consider early 2000s but still olderish are these; The World that they live in from 2008, 9 End 2 Outs from 2007 and the movie More than Blue from 2009. 

All I find very enjoyable productions that definitely are worth the watch :)

I don't rewatch dramas, so I will recommend dramas that I remember enjoying when it aired. Not sure how they hold up these days though. They are from early 2000s to 2009.

• My Love Patzzi

Lovers (2006) is one of my favorite oldies. It's definitely not perfect (7.5/10 for me) but the moments that are good are really really good. Chemistry between the leads is off the charts. Not a rom-com, though, but lighter than a melo.
