Off the top of my head:
Kdrama:
- Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo (AMAZING Kdrama if you haven't seen it already)
- the Reply series (more based in Highschool but my fav is Reply 1997)

Cdramas:
- Lighter & Princess (Highly recommend this one too)
- Put your head on my shoulder (old so a bit of a toxic romance here)
- Skate into love (really good)
- Perfect & Casual
- Accidentally in love (really cute and funny)
- Hello Sharpshooter
- To Fly with you (really liked this one)
- My Unicorn Girl

Jdrama:
- the Nodame series (if you are into classical music and wacky comedy this is amazing).

Really cute and worth the watch. Gives you nostalgia for sweet romcoms of old.

The first Filipino movie I have watched and ofc it's super dated now but the acting was pretty good! Super cringe and cliched but in a good way. Enjoyed it and a good take on bad boy/good girl/started with a bet trope.

Same, I liked the characters well enough after a bit even though the FL was a bit weirdly written but everything seemed so bland.

I'm glad! I was quite irritated by how much time I wasted!

Not gonna bother with you after this but this forum isn't for childish fights like this. Please learn to respect other people's opinions. Grow up.

Same! I love the FL's style in this. I want to know where she got her long 'jacket'-type clothes she wears!

Probably the best child actors I have seen. Have to give credit to the director- how did they push them to act like that!

Oooo Congratulations! Happy for the couple!

HAHAHA! Yesssss that is so true! It's like how bad movies are known to have the best soundtracks in Hollywood.

Or just called having a different opinion from others? I'm not even a big fan of Young Dae having only watched 2 of his recent dramas...but keep projecting.... LOL

At ep 12 and i just want to say...OMG I LOVE THE KIDS, the 4 kids are the best cutest thing about this series (and there's a lot to love) but these kidsssssss! <3

If you go in with very very low expectations (like I did), you might find this an okay watch. Despite the OTT acting and plot loopholes I still liked this more than some of the other c-dramas trending right now. The last 4 eps were a mess (it didn't help the subs weren't great) but overall the 'toxic' romance is well portrayed here and the actors have good chemistry.

The story is engaging even though you feel like the writer skipped a few important steps in the storytelling. The plot is a little all over the place but in a way you would expect it to be from something so "makjang" like. The 2nd couple romance is completely skippable although I liked the 2 male sidekicks.

The OST is great though! One thing the main leads were good at were acting like a natural couple on screen once they are together, they really "fit" into each other and the ML tones down a lot from the start.

An okay watch if you have nothing else to do. But throw logic and understanding out the window.

ikr! he was an odd casting choice. He wasn't bad per say but maybe one of the weakest villains I have seen, esp since the protagonist was such a strong actor.

A sweet drama which was heavily carried by the ML. Whilst the romance and story of the drama is really good, I think Young Dae really did a lot of heavy lifting in this series when it should have been the FL's job since she had the more interesting character. I liked her but she was too low energy for a character like this- and quite different from what I imagined from the manhwa. I think she was too 'soft' for this role. This role required an FL that could go all out with her expressions and tone which Ju Hyun couldn't.

The people who acted as the villains didn't really stand out to me much except for Lady Seo. She was horrible and the only one who acted as such. The minister of War was miscast, whilst he was disrespectful I didn't feel bad guy energy from him. Just a slow speaking slow moving mean man.

However the overall story, development of romance and chemistry between the leads is still good and overall it's just a nice drama to watch. You can enjoy it with that warm rom-com comfort that these kind of dramas bring. Plus Young Dae was really great in this, I look forward to his next role!

I'm glad you liked it! It's nice when people get joy from things even if I don't!

Good to know! I was starting to wonder did I miss something amongst the glowing comments (which fair, everyone likes what they like!). But it's good to know I didn't miss anything. I watched an MV of the couple to see if anything exciting happens later on but really it just proved that they story remained bland. I was so disappointed in the banter, esp since like you, I could see a lot of potential in the ML.

Dropped at ep 16. I guess this could be a feel good drama but it feels like nothing is happening and it's very bland. I think the first 2 eps really didn't sit well with me and I couldn't shake it off for the rest of the series. I even put it on hold, tried to come back to it but it's just so boring.

They really messed up the way they introduced the FL. She gets mad for no reason in the first 2 eps. Her character has the most bizarre logic and is mean to the ML for absolutely no reason - and he finds that charming? Sorry but the set up was so weird that even when they got together I couldn't feel the chemistry. Then there's the fact that there's absolutely no substance to the story- legit nothing is happening except a small business fight in the background that even the writer doesn't seem to care about.

Weirdly written, and the music editing is strange too. Acting is decent however doesn't make up for the bland script and the really boring banter between the leads.

It's like they pretend that was never an option!

Was honestly also so in love with their relationship!
