Precious recommendations
I will add details next to dramas and let you know why I added them.
-
1. The Handmaiden
Korean Movie - 2016
-
2. I Told Sunset about You
Thai Drama - 2020, 5 episodes
DRAMA- this far too short but perfect Thai drama is a BL that explores unrequited love and how freaking hot (but also hard and hurtful) it can be. it gets pretty steamy and I have sexy watched it more times than id like to admit. very short and sweet. a fav BL drama of mine
-
3. Love and Leashes
Korean Movie - 2022
MOVIE- a lowkey informative intro to BDSM. pretty hot and we have a man barking and eating dog food out his mistress' hand...need I say more LMAO (top recommendation); fun watch
-
4. The Sound of Your Heart
Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes
DRAMA- lots of foolishness. this comedy is about an aspiring webtoon and his crazy family. hooked my comedy loving family with this one. far too much foolishness to go around
-
5. Coffee Prince
Korean Drama - 2007, 17 episodes
DRAMA- ahead of its time. straight guy goes crazy as he is falls in love with someone he thinks is a man (she is hiding her identity as a woman due to financial responsibilities). we watch their sweet and tumultuous love story with a background of lots of other funny characters and interesting (potentially poignant) side stories. explores poverty, sexual identity (kinda), and overall one of my favs of all time. well loved by many though; a great intro drama- nothing else quite like it. also the ML is hot af lmao

6. Alchemy of Souls
Korean Drama - 2022, 20 episodes
DRAMA- has nice lore, a cute love story but there are lots of other things happening besides their love. not many sci-fi Korean dramas and I think this one was done pleasantly. surprisingly funny
-
7. Business Proposal
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
-
8. Burning
Korean Movie - 2018
MOVIE- truly a fine piece of cinema, excellent acting and a story that doesnt give you too much but just enough that you have so much to think about once all has been said and done. gets better with each watch. one of those artsy Cannes types; I love a lot. perhaps considered like a soft thriller? it has Parasite (2019) vibes where all is calm until it isn't and then it all ends with a BANG
-
9. A Hard Day
Korean Movie - 2014
MOVIE- thriller. wasn't expecting a lot but it had me feeling a little sick to my stomach with how tense (not scary at all I was literally sick from the tension lol) it was. I enjoy ones that surprise me and this one did
-
10. Confessions
Japanese Movie - 2010
MOVIE- this Japanese thriller is kind of messed up. teacher teaches hers sons bully/ies a lesson by going to great lengths. would not watch lightly and TW//////////////strong bullying
-
11. Let's Eat
Korean Drama - 2013, 16 episodes
DRAMA- watched early in my drama watching career but a surprisingly fun, funny, light hearted drama and its about food!!!!! just like I love watching pretty anime watching delicious real food is also one of my pleasures.
NETLFIX (but idk I watched a couple yrs ago so Netflix btch a$$ probably took it off) or DRAMACOOL

13. Lily Fever
Korean Drama - 2015, 9 episodes
DRAMA- kind of weird mini drama that I dont know that I understand truly but its one of the first sapphic Korean dramas I watched so it has a special place in my hard. kind of hot sometimes too. VERY SHORT episodes
