TV K-Drama recommendations (1 Viewer)

Myco · 7 February 2023

Hello people of K-PopSource and fans of K-Dramas, I'm looking to watch some K-Dramas but I have no ideas which ones.

I remember I loved 38 Task Force a few years ago but I think that's the only non Netflix K-Drama I've watched. Others from Netflix were Sweet Home, All of us are dead and the whole shebang. What annoyed me the most about those was how the characters lost all sense of logic for a dramatic event to happen, just falling on nothing over and over again and generally just looking blankly into the air while a threat is coming towards them.

Anything that improves on those things I'm interested to watch, not necessarily any romance though, just not anything for me. Give me horror, thrillers and whatnot where characters aren't stupid. Movies or Series, anything goes.

How about dramas related to family?
Does that count or no?

Have you watched Squid Game? That's what got me into kdramas.

I also really liked Mystic Pop-Up Bar. It's kind of silly, but if you like not-overly-serious found family stories, you might like it. It always felt really cozy to me.

It's not a series, but a movie, but I really liked Space Sweepers. It's nothing serious, but you've got space! And robots! And explosions! So it's a good time.

I still need to finish Money Heist, but Netflix's weird release schedule disrupted my flow. The entire season is out now. There are definitely some "what tf are you idiots doing?" moments, but I don't think it's as bad as All of Us are Dead. At least not in the first half.

If it's not the kind of "Daily life of a family" kind of drama, then you can give me recommendations to family k-dramas as well, I remember I watched one where they worked at a restaurant and each of the family members got some kind of power

Did watch both Squid Game and Space Sweepers already too. I found the original Money Heist already too annoying to watch, don't think I can do a whole nother one ,

ill check out mystic pop-up bar though, thanks
