I'm having a bit of a burnout moment so I need a really amazing drama that will get me back into dramas. The ones I've been watching haven't been gripping me like I'd hope they would. I'm not picky with genre or country at all, I just need it to pull me back in with an addicting story that I can't stop watching. What are some dramas that personally pulled you back in? Thank you in advance! 

I really recommend mouse if u like thriller or serial killer type of dramas 

It was My Little Happiness for me that pulled me back into dramas again when I was in a drama slump. 

Barb ayuttitham - Completed today, It's watchable if you like revenge/romance and can ignore few plot holes.

Twenty-Five Twenty-One

I hate drama slumps. Hope you will find something interesting that will keep you engaged!

Children of Nobody - so I read that you enjoy thrillers. That's also one of my favorite genres and Children of Nobody is in my opinion very very underrated. It was one of the dramas that got me out of my slump around 2 years ago. It doesn't live stones unturned and keeps you on your toes, at least for me it worked.

Dr. Romantic - another drama that got me out of a slump. In my case, this became one of my favorites and Dr. Kim my favorite character in the latest years. Amazing medical drama, engaging characters and Dr. Kim...if you give it a try you will most probably see why I fangirl over him so much. I first saw it in 2020...have re-watched it 3 times since then and patiently waiting for the 3rd season atm :))

One Ordinary Day - thriller, short, fantastically written and acted (another  one from my drama slump period)

Through the Darkness - another thriller, serial killers, has Kim Nam Gil who is a spectacular actor, also shorter than the average drama so it doesn't drag 

The Vigilantes in Masks - I always recommend this for people in a slump and for most of them it works. It didn't age amazingly well though and it has that over the top Chinese special effect sometimes but there is something special about this one. Maybe you could give it a try and see for yourself. The chemistry between the main characters is really good and Wallace Huo is a delight to watch.

Terius Behind Me - about a spy hiding from his own government in a high-rise housing complex and the young mother living across the hall. As far as intelligence gathering is concerned, the playground parents are real competition with the  NIS.

Literally everything on this list is a safe watch. If our tastes match up at all pretty much all the cdramas I hold in high regard are on here, it just depends on what genre you prefer.

Also, some random recs:

  • if you want to watch a thoughtful collection of stories treading the line between vigilante & villain: Girl from Nowhere

  • if you want action packed underbosses & an exploration of loan sharking with a side of a pure & committed love, My Beautiful Bride
  • if you want a slice of life in the cardiology department featuring a coupling between a tsundere doctor & a plucky trainee nurse, An Incurable Case of Love
  • if you want to watch something taboo & tragic, that is somehow also life-affirming: Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake
  • if you want to watch something that’s as simple as it is cute: I’ve Fallen for You
  • if you want to be filled with fluff: Shanai Marriage Honey
  • if you want something to transport you to that specific cheesy era in 00s kdrama weaved around a super tropey but super lovely love story: Delightful Girl Choon Hyang
