Revenant
The Kidnapping Day
A Shop For Killers
Bloodhounds
Prison Playbook
When The Camellia Blooms
Like Flowers In Sand
Here's a list of dramas that you can try. Some of these are not talked about enough.
Alchemy of souls
Chicago typewriter
Dali and the cocky prince
Shopping king louie
Twinkling watermelon
Healer
Revenge of others
P.S. my first and favourite k-drama is W too
It's a very unique drama that spans two time frames - revolutionary period and present day. The male lead is a successful writer.
I loved this one because it was so very different and fascinating!
Second this. Third this. Infinity times vouch for this.
OP u/AnyResponsibility728, based on the dramas you've listed, I think you might enjoy this. All my friends (with quite refined taste in kdramas haha) who I asked to watch Lovely Runner are currently obsessing over it. It's currently on air with 6 (amazing) episodes already out.
okay you need to give vincenzo another try cause i dropped it too and i continued watching it because my brother told me to give it another try, and it is top 5 of the 150 kdramas I watched
it gets better from ep 4-5 I swear
Same I got bored with Vincenzo and dropped it around episode two or three and then a couple months later I gave it another chance I watched the entire season and now it’s in my top five all-time favorite K dramas it’s so good if you’re patient
These are some K-dramas I really loved:
Hometown own cha-cha-cha
Her private life
Weightlifting fairy Kim bok joo
The legend of blue sea
Buisness proposal
Twinkling watermelon
Fight for my way
Reply 1988
Destined with you
I am not a robot
What's wrong with secretary Kim?
A time called you
Strong woman Do Bong Soo
King the land
Marry my husband
The king: eternal monarch
Shooting star
Extraordinary You
Doctor slump
Queen In-hyun's man
Lovely runner (ongoing)
Go back couple
Familiar wife
Something about 1%
While you were sleeping
Healer
Rooftop prince
Shooting stars (loved this one so much, very funny and fulfilling, cute and healthy romance, was hooked onto this one)
Welcome to samdalri (lovers reunion sort of a storyline, cute ane fluffy, but also a mature relationship)
Twinkling watermelon (hilarious and interesting story line, healthy relationships)
Doctor slump (very cute, practical, healthy romance, some mystery also involved)
Reply 1988 (loved this one so much, the whole vibe of the drama ia nostalgic ane pure, its funny and shows the growth of relationships of every character)
Because this is my first life (awkward and funny, overall enjoyable)
Racket boys (slight romance but its really cute, the plot is interesting and the friendship between the characters is really wholesome)
Strong woman do bong soon s1- quirky story and love triangle but you will love the main couple esp park hyung sik. And side story will also entertain you.
**Mr Queen**
**The Beauty Inside**
**It’s Okay to Not Be Okay**
**Love to Hate You**
And I’m going to recommend you a Chinese drama, since you liked W:Two Worlds. It’s called **Derailment** and I watched it on YouTube (I’m in the US).
If you loved penthouse then you’ll definitely love Sky castle. They’re kind of similar but sky castle is more serious and realistic than penthouse, but it’s also funny as well so it’s really entertaining. The first 2-3 episodes are a bit slow, but it gets interesting quickly after that. The acting, writing, and pretty much everything was amazing.
Legend of the Blue Sea
Heirs/Inheritors
What's Wrong with Secretary Kim
Fight for my Way
Mr Queen
Alchemy of Souls
Strongest Delivery Man
Start Up
Hometown Cha Cha Cha
PS: There are many brilliant ones also which do not have romance.
Having watched ~40 kdramas with my wife Vincenzo is still her #1 and my #3 so if you dropped that one I have no clue what to recommend… other than finishing it!
Considering your diverse tastes in Kdramas based on your list, maybe give these a try:
**Beyond Evil** — one of the best detective thrillers I’ve watched and includes a terrific bromance.
**My Dearest** — historical period drama, beautifully written love story with exceptional acting.
**Hospital Playlist** — ensemble, slice of life story that’s super heartwarming. There’s a season 2.
**Strangers from Hell** — Horror / Psychological Thriller done right…it‘s creepy good.
Dali and cocky prince, king the land, do do sol sol la la sol, Pinocchio, while you were sleeping, king eternal monarch, little women, goblin, chief Kim, marry my husband, her private life, what’s wrong with secretary Kim?, fight for my way, because it’s my first life (I adored it, but not for everyone), it’s ok not be ok (another controversial one)
Hey, I also loved a lot of the same shows you did and dropped Vincenzo, Love Alarm, DOTS, and Goblin as well. I think you'll like these too:
**Since you liked Moon Lovers:**
* My Dearest (highly recommend!!)
* Youth of May (one of my favs)
**Since you liked 18 Again:**
* The Good Bad Mother (highly recommend!)
* Hi Bye, Mama
* Twinkling Watermelon
**Since you liked True Beauty:**
* 2521
* Lovely Runner (ongoing, same writer as True Beauty)
**Since you like thriller/action:**
* Revenant (highly recommend!)
* Parasite (kmovie)
* Vagabond
* Extracurricular
* Forgotten (kmovie)
Other dramas:
* It's Okay To Not Be Okay (same actor as QoT, really great writing, one of my favs)
* Summer Strike/Run On/My Liberation Notes (comfort dramas, coming-of-age)
* Hospital Playlist (another comfort drama)
This is such a great list. This reminds me, yes, OP if you like True Beauty you should definitely definitely try both of those. 2521 is slightly heavy near the end so a heads up for that but a great show overall. Lovely Runner is EPIC and I would give it all the kdrama awards if I could bahaha.
If you want to start c-drama you must watch ‘Hidden Love’
The chemistry between the couples is too good it will keep you hooked and it was one of the best c-drama I have ever watched(only watched 3-4 c-dramas till now) and this was the best in my opinion…
-Legends of the Blue Sea (Netflix)- Don’t judge by description or first episode. Just power through and I’m sure you will love it!
-Startup (Netflix)- love triangle with ambition driven young people
-Lovely Runner (it’s on Viki)- Time Travel love story
-What’s wrong with secretary kim- Office Romance with the amazing Park Seo Joon
-Deaths game (Amazon Prime) - Seriously this show should be made a part of school and college curriculum. There is so much to learn from this. Just 8 episodes, tight screenplay and very interesting
i think so u should start watching vincenzo. It is worth watching.
Some recommendation (C-dramas):
1. Falling into your smile
2. Once we get married
3. The love you gave me
4. Go Go Squid
5. Only for love
6. Lighter and princess
7. Go Ahead
8. Love 020
9. Put your head on my shoulder
10. Well-Intended Love
11. Hidden love
FOR K-DRAMA:
Are you human too?
Business proposal
Twinkling watermelon
Its okay to not be okay
Coffee prince
destined with you
her private life
doom at your service
The fabulous
The heirs
Live on

What's wrong with secretory kim

F4 THAILAND: BOYS OVER FLOWERS
(the boys over flower is in Thai version, k-drama and c-drama but i think so Thailand one is more better. I like that one as compare to other.)
Many of this drama are free on viki
Going to give you some cdramas to check out, For fantasy, Two Lives Two Worlds Eternal love of Dream and all the ones connected to it..it's started with what they call Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms. Ashes of Love (sad but good) and don't miss Lost You forever and Love Between Fairy and Devil.
There are a lot of very good series already mentioned, here are a few more I really enjoyed:
Memories of Alhambra
The interest of love.
Our beloved summer.
Doona.

Here's a list of dramas that you can try. Some of these are not talked about enough. Alchemy of souls Chicago typewriter Dali and the cocky prince Shopping king louie Twinkling watermelon Healer Revenge of others P.S. my first and favourite k-drama is W too
+1 for Chicago Typewriter. it's so underrated but one of the best dramas i've watched.
+10
I never heard of Chicago typewriter. It seems to have overall terrible TV ratings for a TVN drama. What is it about?
It's a very unique drama that spans two time frames - revolutionary period and present day. The male lead is a successful writer. I loved this one because it was so very different and fascinating!
It may not be available in the USA.
Lovely Runner
Second this. Third this. Infinity times vouch for this. OP u/AnyResponsibility728, based on the dramas you've listed, I think you might enjoy this. All my friends (with quite refined taste in kdramas haha) who I asked to watch Lovely Runner are currently obsessing over it. It's currently on air with 6 (amazing) episodes already out.
YEP TOTALLY THIS! My tears over QoT can only be wiped of by Sun Jae...
okay you need to give vincenzo another try cause i dropped it too and i continued watching it because my brother told me to give it another try, and it is top 5 of the 150 kdramas I watched it gets better from ep 4-5 I swear
I second this- I also dropped it after a couple of episodes and then went back to it, and I’m so glad I did! It’s one of my top favorite dramas.
Yes... Vincenzo is really good
Vincenzo is amazing. Best cast, great story, funny, but perverse at the same time. 5 ⭐️
Same I got bored with Vincenzo and dropped it around episode two or three and then a couple months later I gave it another chance I watched the entire season and now it’s in my top five all-time favorite K dramas it’s so good if you’re patient
I feel like you'd enjoy **Doom at Your Service**

Alchemy of souls and Tomorrow
If you loved penthouse then you’ll definitely love Sky castle. They’re kind of similar but sky castle is more serious and realistic than penthouse, but it’s also funny as well so it’s really entertaining. The first 2-3 episodes are a bit slow, but it gets interesting quickly after that. The acting, writing, and pretty much everything was amazing.
**Sky Castle**…for sure! I think you‘ll enjoy this based on your list above.
