I am looking for some character-driven family and/or Slice-of-Life Asian dramas (preferably Korean or Chinese) and would love some recommendations. When it comes to Chinese drama, I would prefer a historical setting however I am flexible with Korean dramas. I also just finished watching Blossoms in Adversity which I absolutely enjoyed and looking for something similar.
For reference, here are some dramas I’ve enjoyed:
Chinese:
Story of Ming Lan
Sword of Brocade
Love Like the Galaxy
Story of Yanxi Palace (Absolutely enjoy harem dramas/multiple wives)
Empresses in the Palace
Korean:
Jewel in the Palace (mentor/found family themes count)
Dong Yi
Under the Queen’s Umbrella
Some dramas I didn’t quite enjoy include:
Destined (felt cheap, dialogue and monologues were awkward)
Princess Weiyoung (got repetitive fast, though I loved the scheming characters)
Any suggestions based on these would be much appreciated! Thanks!
