need more jdrama in my life

Let's do up the 90s — in style! (and substance)

I'm in my 40s now. Worship us. Romance us. Respect us.

An attempt to find the "other" dramas. No indicator of quality.

Crime, Grime, Noir, Revenge, Institutional Cannibalism, Darkness, Decay, and maybe a 'lil Picaresque.

representation in main leads

I'm in my 40s now. Worship us. Romance us. Respect us.

Personal top tier

I will personally move those who flat-lined to the morgue (delete).

Eras, girl.

Historical and Costume dramas not banking on traffic actors for success.[Non-Idol Guzhuang]

dystopias and bleak futures

Morals? Ambiguous. Ethics? Murky. Context? Dependent.

or, Learning How To Set and Achieve Long Term Goals. Insidiously. 

I guess I'll slowly add dramas as my age-addled brain remembers... [older main leads, cast]

Tools for building yourself one today! Free of charge!

...so here's the idol dramas I enjoyed

online correspondence courses

So you agree? You think you're really pretty? [cinematography + art direction + shot on location]

or, Female-Centered Plots, Sismance, etc.

never to be underestimated

meeting, parting, lingering as memories

Don't press Skip on these intros! (thankfully, NOT spoiler reel montages)

Ancient Crime, Mystery, Thriller

As they should — these are Business dramas.

Dramas tagged "Youth" I enjoyed, in top order. Aging is a privilege, sigh...

Or a town. Or a countryside.

Or billionaires. So... [Fraud, Financial Crime, Thievery, Scams, Audit, etc]

Transmigration, Rebirth, Parallel Dimensions, Return to the Past, etc. Nothing's too hard here.

In this situation I'd hope to be one of these strong, fierce, smart, capable, sassy, intelligent, badass FEMALE Leads.  (Also, Bear).

Step One: cultivate your heart

Limited Series, Short Dramas, & Light-Hearted Watches

nothing's more lonely than watching loneliness alone

greed will lead to your ruin, dear

special feature: amazing women characters

nothing around for days....

...I'm scared.

why is it so hard to find subs 😭

Because these series' viewing order are a mindf*ck. Pick your poison! There are standalone treats for afterwards 😊
