Intelligent, sophisticated and mature dramas for intellectuals such as myself (JTBC)

Can we all agree that JTBC has the best dramas?

They make the most deep, philosophical and intellectual dramas for mature and tasteful watchers such as myself.

Cruel City, The End of the World, Secret Love Affair, the list goes on...

I have yet to find a drama that is on par with these. Everything else has overacting, romance done wrong, unrealistic protagonists in even more unrealistic situations, shitty quirky and cheesy Korean humor, etc...

Also, JTBC dramas tend to have at least one sex scene, which only confirms my statement that they are mature shows for mature individuals such as myself.

How many dramas have you seen that have a woman in her 20s or 30s who has never been kissed and has never fallen in love? As someone said before, JTBC dramas treat sex like it exists instead of perpetuating the myth that all children are conceived through a firm handshake. They portray adults as adults, and not 30 year old virgins just out of the nunnery.

I love the highly intelligent and engaging character studies they make that only intelligent viewers can appreciate, unfortunately I seem to be in the minority.

Are you serious with that title though?

Thanks for all the recommendations, White Christmas seems the most interesting to me and it's been on my backlog for quite a while now, so I'll check that first. What about Vampire Prosecutor, though? Oh, and sorry for not replying to everyone's posts individually, I don't have the time, but I may do that later.

If you like Secret Love Affair, you should definitely watch A Wife's Credentials, which is made by the same team and also has Kim Hee Ae as the lead. It has a very mature atmosphere, but don't expect the same focus on romance that Secret Love Affair seems to have (I've only seen the first 4 eps, so I don't know which direction it takes after that^^) I'd also recommend the drama Friend, Our Legend, which features the characters that seemed the most real to me in all my years of drama watching. It's actually adapted from a movie which I recommend to watch first so that you know what to expect plotwise. Just as a warning though, it's a very bleak drama, don't expect to finish it with a happy feeling. Very much worth it though imo. Lastly, give the I Need Romance series a try, there's lots of kisses and sex in the three seasons.

lol cruel city realistic.... Since you say that I am not sure what you are asking but I will suggest one.

Bump Off Lover - Xu Yi Jing and Xu Yi Zhen were identical twins who grew up always relying on one another. When Xu Yi Jing is murdered, the suspected killer commits suicide just prior to arrest, leading everyone to believe that the case is closed. However Xu Yi Zhen believes there's more to the case and is determined to uncover the truth. As she digs deeper, Yi Zhen is about to discover that the sister she thought she knew everything about was an illusion and that there are darker, uglier secrets that threaten to derail Yi Zhen's whole view about Yi Jing, her family and her past,
