Fav dramas recs please!! ♥

Hey guys!

I'm short on good dramas to watch, could you please rec me some that would fit these criteria? :D

1 Preferably no love triangles, or with one that dissolves early or doesn't make you root for the second guy (if it's guy-girl-guy) or without evil ex-girlfriend who schemes and manipulates (if it's girl-guy-girl triangle)

2 I don't really like this whole "jerk outside - nice tortured soul inside" routine for the main guy character. I mean, it's fine if he's not the nicest person around but when he's a complete bastard to the girl all drama long and she goes all "awww my honey" at the end, it's just weird.

3Girls that scream with shrilly voice "Oppaaaa" or pout like a four-year-olds all drama long are a bit (a lot) irritating, it would be great if the main female lead didn't do that..

Looooove humour. And good acting. Recently finished Goblin, the ripper-goblin tandem was so hilarious :) one of the best dramas I've seen I think.

I also watched It's Ok It's Love (♥!!!!, romance, acting, humour, everything),  I Hear your Voice(♥ intense, plot, acting ), Coffee Prince (♥!!!! even though triangle is there, the acting is so good and the cast soo cool that's it doesn't even matter anymore), Gentleman's Dignity,  Master's Sun, Personal Taste, She was pretty,  Lie to Me, Marriage not Dating, The Greatest Love, Witch's Romance, Can You Hear my Heart (♥ lots of cringy moments, but the romance is great), Because This is My First Life

You're Beautiful, Secret Garden are actually not among my favourites - they have their moments, especially in the end, but it was a bit hard to get there for me.

Watching Strong Woman Bo Dong Soon now, pretty ok so far :)

Please please rec me some more!!! Wanna watch great dramas :) Thanks!

Thank you, I'll add them to my list. Heard a lot of great stuff about 

• Age of Youth
• Twenty Again !

Healer for sure

Suspicious Partner

Shopping King Louie

Chicago Typewriter (there is a love triangle present but not enough to detract from the overall enjoyment of the drama; it's more focused around friendship than romance)

Tunnel (minimal romance however since all the other recs have some kind of romance element)

Extra note: I'd avoid While You Were Sleeping if you don't want to get second lead syndrome like I did lmao.

Wooow so many recs! Thank you guys, thank you thank you

Healer seems to the general consensus, so started watching it now :))) Re-watching actually, I tried it a couple of years ago, didn't work out and I don't even remember why :\

@fanitha Thanks for the long list, shall last me till the next Christmas I think >.<

@ neo Yes, I heard While You were Sleeping was not actually as great as people expected it to be.. Sad, I was looking forward to it ;(

Typewriter looks interesting, will probably try it after the Healer. Ohh, detective story in the Tunnel, love those, will surely take a look. Tanks for reaching them :)) If anything else comes to mind, please share!!

@RouteVenus Thanks for the detailed descriptions! It's great to know about the negative points beforehand. 

Master's Sun was ok, funny moments and the romance in the end made me overlook the flaws that normally make a drama a no-go for me. And I just really like the main actress. Hence It's Ok It's Love (fantastic!!). Have u watched Jealousy Incarnate, is it any good?

Have very high hopes for Healer now! It's great that they communicate, it's so rare - all these misunderstandings in other dramas that could be resolved  if they just talked like normal people really start to get on my nerves. But apparently The Incredible Sulk and strong and silent types who brood and grow mushrooms alone in a far corner are a must-have in modern dramas :c

If you stumble across anything else interesting, please let me know!

No problem, I hope you enjoy! 

I forgot to mention/elaborate for Suspicious Partner that (even though appearances may suggest otherwise) the presence of a love triangle is dismissed pretty much right away/early on in the drama since you mentioned that you weren't fond of love triangles, so don't let that put you off! The female lead is also sassy/bold and a former national Tae Kwon Do athlete so not the usual weak type of main character, and the main couple's interactions are cute/funny/sweet as well. The law/crime element with the drama's main villain is also exceptionally well acted out, even though I'd say the overall acting in the drama is pretty good from all of the actors.

Hummm ... I'm sorry, I think Coffee Prince and Master's Sun had two pretty jerk ML !? !!! (At least in the beginning) ;)

I suggest 

• Me too, flower <3
• Please, come back Mister
• Kimi wa Petto

My 3 recommendations are:

1. Oh My Venus
2. Fated to Love You
3. Healer (glad u restarted it)

Punch in all those shows you've watched into MDL!  It will be worth it in the end - makes it easier to make recommendations as your list grows longer!
