Worth watching (drama, film, tv show)
-
1. Twenty Five Twenty One
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
This is a must watch. It is perfect. Just do it.
Warning: at the end of the drama you will cry a lot, it's a sad cry. -
2. Extraordinary Attorney Woo
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
An obvious choice, it's a must watch. Being a neurodivergeant person myself with a little brother on the autistic spectrum I appreciated the representation.
-
3. Move to Heaven
Korean Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
This one is a must watch too. There is a MC with autism but it is mostly about the life of people. Warning: you will cry every episode, but it's a good cry.
-
4. When Life Gives You Tangerines
Korean Drama - 2025, 16 episodes
I think this one is drama of the year for me. Outstanding acting from IU (who plays the FL). Grrrreeat story. You will cry occasionally.
-
5. Signal
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
Still watching
Don't be discouraged by the fact that it came out in 2016, you will be hooked after the first ep.It's a show about resolution of cold (old) police cases so it is not for the faint of heart (disturbing situations/photos).
ps: there is a season 2 coming out in 2026. -
6. Moving
Korean Drama - 2023, 20 episodes
If you like drama about people with superpowers this one is good. Once they start showing the story of the parents it becomes a must watch.
-
7. Mr. Queen
Korean Drama - 2020, 20 episodes
It's a decent drama for a good time. Lots of comedy.
-
8. Alchemy of Souls
Korean Drama - 2022, 20 episodes
Only watch this masterpiece if you are ok to stop at the end of the part 1 because part 2 is not as enjoyable. You are in for a lot of content and comedy, it is worth it.
-
9. Weak Hero Class 1
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
It was a very enjoyable drama with a lot of fighting.
-
10. Mask Girl
Korean Drama - 2023, 7 episodes
This one will stay with you after you watched it.
-
11. Undercover Miss Hong
Korean Drama - 2026, 16 episodes
A fun drama that is consistent in story quality until the end. Every character has an ending but possibility of 2nd season. Sisterhood > romance in this one.
-
12. In the Mood for Love
Hong Kong Movie - 2000
This one is a film for romantics and people who experience limerence and appreciate good cinematography.
-
13. Designated Survivor: 60 Days
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
It is the type of drama to get you hooked until 4am.
I watched the American version when it came out and just stumbled recently on the Korean version. I was afraid it will be redundant but it is a different story being told here. More political and less dark drama as a result it feels more human and real.
There are some nice punchlines that stays with you and some jokes but most of the drama is tense. Great OST. -
14. Our Unwritten Seoul
Korean Drama - 2025, 12 episodes
2 identical sisters switch places. Worth watching.
-
15. Ainori: Asian Journey
Japanese TV Show - 2017, 22 episodes
I prefer Ainori to Terrace House. It is a tv show about finding love that is worth watching. Season 3 (African journey) is slightly less good because of a character that came back from a past season.
-
16. Love Village
Japanese TV Show - 2023, 18 episodes
Less known, a japanese TV show about finding love later in life. Season 1 is good and worth watching, season 2 has two cringe characters.
-
17. Typhoon Family
Korean Drama - 2025, 16 episodes
Great outfits and OST. Enjoyable show, not a masterpiece of writing but enjoyable drama.
-
18. Bloody Game Season 2
Korean TV Show - 2023, 14 episodes
One of the best logical/deduction games I saw + there is a little survival part too.
Season 2 and 3 are good, didn't watch season 1 yet. -
19. Asura
Japanese Drama - 2025, 7 episodes
It will not be everyone's cup of tea and there is not really a "story with a resolution" or if there is that story's resolution is frustrating. It is a cinematographic film about women's love choices and about sisterhood in 1979's Japan. If you try this one take that into account.
-
20. Karma
Korean Drama - 2025, 6 episodes
Psychological drama
-

A survivalist tv show with only women participants. Each team is composed of a workforce (police, firefighters, bodyguards, soldiers, athletes, stuntwomen.
-

-
27. The Time Hotel
Korean TV Show - 2023, 10 episodes
Enjoyable TV show about logic/strategy mind games. If you like this the TV show "Devil's plan" season 1 is good.
