Recently I quenched my drama slump by descovering Makjang. Only those keep me invested. I loved Yellow Boots. I fell in love with Lee Yo Ri I don't think I'll find a better actress than her. She is perfect.

What I loved in Yellow Boots was how she fought to clean her name. There really was a character development.

I also watched Temptation of Wife. I prefered Yellow boots but I heard it being the definition of Makjang so I had to check. Unfortunately her EX husband wasn’t attractive to me but still.. the show was good.

Do you have any drama where the female lead is wronged and becomes strong and makes the male lead regret to have left her ? Or a drama where she uses the second male lead but then falls for him in the process... I want romance, jealousy, drama, chemistry, tension,revenge...

And you can recommend lakorns as well . For me lakorns and Makjang are kinda similar.

Thanks :)

I have something that’s exactly like that but it’s flipped. Instead of the woman being wronged and makes the male regret, it’s the male who’s wronged and makes the woman regret. This Korean drama called “temptation of an angel” is really good with the themes of revenge chemistry and romance! 

Another drama with a  similar theme is “nice guy”

Thank you for your recommendation. I also like when the female lead wrongs the male lead. I love angst between the leads. Temptation of an angel I have begun it but dropped it. And nice guy I didn't like the female lead. 

Thanks anyway :)

  • Miss mermaid - though rather than husband, here the  protagonist is on a revenge path against her father who abandoned her and her mom for another woman. The path she will take will make her come face to face with the other woman and among her plans is to  snatch/steal her half sisters fiancee, sadly this one is difficult to find with subtitle

Thank you. I watched first episowe of pink lipstixk. It seems good but really long. But I will watch it. And miss mermaid seems great as well but as you said it is hard to find it subbed ...

The Promise with Lee Yoo-Ri  would suit you the best. To not write too much, you can definitely check mine watchlist, I saw probably most revenge makjangs that exist with eng subs :D
I will write you "family dramas" - long ones
Fatal Promise - match, fl lead, revenge, you will like it
Unknown Women - match, fl lead, revenge, same, will do the job perfectly
The latest I saw was Sister is Alive / Band of sisters - revenge theme without prison episode. I truly recommend this one.
Mother of mine - revenge, fl lead of course
Ladies of Storm - revenge, fl lead / similar to Temptation of Wife, very similar
Apgujeong Midnight Sun - hmm, but will match, revenge and fl lead
Glass mask (KR) - revenge, fl lead / Temptation of Wife and The Promise mixed
A bird that doesn't sing - revenge, 2fl leads
Sweet Enemy - revenge, fl lead, similar to Yellow Boots
Secrets and Lies - match, but personally I don't like it, I turned it off
Mysterious Personal Shopper - will definitely match your taste
Flames of Desire - revenge, fl lead
Gracious Revenge - revenge, fl lead, but - its just antiheros
Glamorous Temptation - similar to Temptation of Wife, fl lead, revenge
Left-handed Wife - well, its makjang too with fl lead and revenge too

and I'm exhausted xD
