Hey guys. I’ve been in a drama slump recently; half watched shows, a growing list of  ‘planned to watch’ a bunch of shows on hold. With a variety of dramas I’ve taken note of and previously done so because I was interested    in it, nothing is really interesting me. The thing about a drama slump for me isn’t taking a break but feeling the  giant need to find that ONE right show that will magically satisfy this boredom and disinterest. I KNOW these are show I’ll watch anyways and I know I like them I just can’t bring myself to watch them. My attention span is horrible. So I have some super-duper specific things I’m looking for in a quest to find a drama to satisfy me.

- a sweet short romance. Fast paced but natural. Preferably lots of skin ship no huge obstacles and no long sub plots. Romance all the way. Also preferably they start out disliking each other or misunderstanding 

- a depressing teen centered drama like ‘The Penthouse’ or ‘Sky Castle’ I really want that angst and gloomy         teen feeling.

- a dramatic drama about the lives of the rich. Entertaining but not infuriating. Example ‘heard it through the     grapevine’ perfect mix of rich peoples lives, romance, and some really good comedic scenes; or ‘remarriage and desires’.

- historic drama that takes place in the palace and romance. ‘Mr Queen’ for example or ‘The Red Sleeve.’

-old but gold full out all the overused tropes but original enough to be interesting.    

I totally went on a whole rant and I doubt I’ll get a lot of answers but if you could help a fellow kdrama wathcer out I’d be VERY thankful!

Sweet short romance:

Something About 1 Percent

My Secret Romance


Historic dramas:

Love in the Moonlight

Sungkyunkwan Scandal (could probably be placed in the category below as well)


Old but gold:

The Greatest Love

Full House (very heavy on the hate to love trope)

Personal Taste

Secret Garden

My Love From the Star

Coffee Prince


Hope you get over your drama slump! c:

World of the Married - definitely a must watch if you look for something similarish to Penthouse or Sky Castle. Absolutely amazing plot, well acted, gripping, angst, drama, romance. you name it. All is there.

XX - this is a really good drama.
- its short,  just 5 episodes
-  very good story that has some angst and drama and romance
- characters are in their early 20ties but also deals about stuff that happened in their teens
- vibe is similarish to penthouse
 Truly give it a try ;)

Move to Heaven - very well done story. I would say it fits into a specific feeling that "I heard it through the grapevine" gave but at the same time it really doesn't. It is a good drama though with a well done story. No romance though. 10 episodes 

Money Flower - now this one is a special case. The story is absolutely amazing and not going into the direction which you might think. But it does not have a lot of action or is very fast phased. It is more for people who enjoy complicated stories that take time to unravel. Its a gem though. So if you are enjoying these types of stories i would definitely recommend you to give this one a try.
