So I was a bit hesitantvto mention these because they are Scifi/Space Opera genre + Action +Rom, and Scifi is not for everybody. BUT They have that same Really QUIRKY Whacko Humor that Psych also has:
- Farscape (+The ending Mini series after it) Scifi(Space opera) + Quirky Comedy + Amazing ROMANCE story!
- Legends of Tomorrow (Timetravel + superhero scifi + Quirky comedy + Romance) Season 1 is a bit cheesy, but gets really good since season 2, and the more comedic tone starts at season 3.
Both feature an Ensemble cast of characters, in a lot of ways Legends of Tomorrow felt like a modern version of Farscape, only swap Space Travel with Timetravel and Aliens with Supeheroes.
I think Chuck and Brooklyn 99 are the closest to it, all are Action Comedies with great Romance.
But yeah we need more series like Psych!
Actually one Crime-Procedural with Romance comes to mind too:
Have you heard about Drop Dead Diva? It's Law Procedural with a fantasy element. FL is originally a skinny blonde Model, dies, comes back to life , having taken over the body of a Fat Lawyer lady. The lady works as a lawyer at FL ex boyfriend's lawfirm who is stiol grieving FL. So each ep feature a law case. I found it really good. It's a comedy too and even has some (rare)silly musical numbers because of FL's love of musicals. I recommend that one too. The actress playing the Lead /Reinacrnated lead is really great in the role too! Later on some romance as seasons go by. I just remembered I disn't finish it, it had 1 season left. I should rewatch it and finish also the last season.
Lee da hee is the FL not Lee joo bin . First teaser released and it was all about Lee Dong wook and Lee Da hee.
What are you talking about. LDH plays his first Exwife according to all descriptions of the drama, the teaser clearly showed Dongwook's character falling into a bed with JooBin's character, and Kwangsoo and Dahee having a moment. I think you are confused because LDW and LDH start out as Ex-spouses so they might have sweet scenes at first until their separate new lovelines begin.
"Mean Love will tell the romance between an actor who usually portrays detective roles but is eager to star in a romance genre, and"
>>> I got to ask, did the writer take inspiration for ML character from Kim Nam Gil frequently doing thriller action genre, but begging PDs lately for romcom?
Oh I already know and love Psych! π Haven't heard about Will Trent and High Potential though, but they look interesting! Thanks for the Reccs! βΊοΈ To clarify, do they also have Romance along the Spy/Crime genre??
"Waiting for Gyeong Do will tell the story of a man and a woman who met and fell in love when they were in their twenties and got reunited at an unexpected moment in their lives. "
Omg The Updates on this drama lately: First per cute preview clip the couples will indeed be LDW & LJB and LKS & LDH -- YES!! Just Like I prefered! π Anyone who's seen Dahee and Kwangsoo on Running Man knows how freaking FUNNY they are next to each other - so paired in romcom will be Hilarious and would've been a Waste of their naturally funny dynamics to not happen! ππ Also imo LDW suits better with LJB than LDH anyway.
And also someone apparently saw Yoo In Na on set so now there's rumors she'll be playing a Guest role as one of the 3 Exwives of Lee Dong Wook - Omg My ReaperSunny Heart πβοΈπ, I did Not see this coming!! π
Good for you that you like makjang melo, then you won't miss out on a Must watch series! π
Reading reviews on IMDB, lol I think some can be just as biased as on MDL π They obviously just don't like the Melodrama genre π "It's too melo, so it's bad "-Logic π€¦ββοΈ It's objectively a good series with Both Awards Won And Success attained.
Everyone else is giving High rating & praise over there and Elsewhere. Some melodrama haters claiming "Only Turkish people like this series, because they're used to melo"....Meanwhile the series is the #1 Most Internationally successful Turkish series of all time to date, if you check the statistics of most Watched and internationally loved seriesπ π π€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈ Talk about Delulu haters LOL
Some hate it because they ship the leads with other actors feom other series & are jealous of their chemistry there (trere are shippers of others who frequently show up on the shipper videos of Black Money Love just to spread hate)π Some are simply jealous of the series success.....
I need to wash my brain after those nonsense reviews. At least they could TRY to be objective but Nope. π€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈπ π π Should I also start attacking Comedies for being Comedy genre. ?!? "Toooo muuch comedyyyy not enough Melo!! Series is Trash!!" π π π€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈ
Warning: I hope you like Majkang style melodrama/SoapOpera, Cause Black Money Love isn't just Action Rom, it also leans on very heavy Melodrama, so not for people who are allergic to drama/Prefer more comedy style.
But otherwise it's an Award-winning series for a Reason.
I'll copypaste my comment about it from another recc I made to another person here:
" "Kara Para Ask" / "Black Money Love" (its english title). It has Both DEPTH & SIZZLE too!
It' on Netflix with about 165 eps x 45 minutes. That might look like Many eps, but I guarantee you IT'S ABSOLUTELY WORTH it! :
1.). It doesn't FEEL that long because it's Extremely well-paced. No boring Moments after ep 3 when plot gets going on Netflix version (ep 1 in original version). It's so addictive too, you'll be glad it's long and that you'll have many MANY EPS WITH A GREAT PAIRING! π No "WHAT Great Romance pairing should I get into next, I feel empty!?!" for a while for you with this series. 2.) The couple's chemistry is FIRE and it's the most realistic couple scenes I've ever seen in a drama ever (One of those pairings people wonder if they date irl after the drama, especially since the actress got suspisiously divorced after the drama after THAT chem lol). The directing of their scenes, they're such a hyper realistic Cuddly couple that makes one Warm inside.π₯° 3.) It's possibly the best Relationship Buildup I've ever seen. Excellent writing. 4). I've never seen such an Hyper- Emotionally Supporting pairing like this before. They are the definition of "Being There for each other through dark times (&danger!)".
Basic plot: Γmer (ML) is a cop + Elif (FL) a designer, who suddenly experience mutual tragedy as his fiance and her father are one day found murdered together in a car. They begin investigating together, while constantly being put in danger. Also family is a central theme. And Diamonds.
Genres: Thriller-Romance (LOTS OF ROMANCE in this thriller, romance is NOT just a subplot in case you're wondering, obviously not at the Start as he' greving his fiance. But they have chem since ep1, which builds up slowburn nicely. But also lots of Thriller where leads are always in danger!), Melodrama, Slice of Life. It gets more melodramatic later on. Good ending (Let me know if you want spoilers if happy or sad ending).

It's Extremely emotional at times, emotional depth lots of it in the drama and in their relationship, the pairing isn't only supporting each other through it all, they are also Emotionally Supporting THE VIEWERS by making the pain bearable with their cuteness and hopes despite their traumas.π₯°π
(The original ep count is 2h eps x 53 eps or something like that. Netflix cut the eps into more easily watchable shorter eps. This original 53 ep version can be found on Youtube, if you don't have Netflix).
Nowadays also there's a 45 minute x 165 eps Eng DUB version on Youtube. But I recommend the Eng Sub version on Netflix (if your country has the streaming rights), the actors act so well with their voices"
1 Day until airing and STILL no Press Conference or cast interviews can be found!!!
