I'm looking for some dramas that have a strong storyline/plot. I would like something that doesn't drag in the middle because of ridiculous misunderstandings or love triangles.  It could be modern or historical but  I want it to keep my attention for the whole drama. Please no love triangles.

Some examples:

  • Nirvana in Fire
  • Story of Minglan
  • Reply 1988
  • Your Highness
  • Go Back Couple
  • Marriage Contract
  • Kounodori

Thanks

  • My ahjusshi
  • Misaeng
  • Story of Yanxi Palace
  • 1 liter of tears
  • Signal
  • Bridal mask
  • Battle of changsa
  • Stepmother and daughter blues
  • Orphan black
  • Nine times travel
  • Hundred Million stars falling from the sky
  • My golden life
  • My Huckleberry friends

Try:

My Mister

W- Two Worlds 

Kill It 

Good Doctor 

Come And Hug Me

Hello Monster 

  • Stranger (since it's on your list)
  • Kazoku Game
  • My Mister
  • Kingdom
  • Quartet
  • Kenja no Ai
  • Girl from Nowhere: The Series
  • The Guest
  • Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms
  • Mother (Japan)

I second the notion on My Mister and add Secret (with Ji Sung)

Anyone wanna recommend any youthful drama like FALL IN LOVE AT FIRST LIKE?
