I've heard the VERY, VERY LOUD vocal minority ha ha... Respectfully, I have compiled a list of Kdramas that you commented on that are not in the Romance category. Please be patient with their release. They haven't won against the popular GOATS, and I have to prioritize my time accordingly.

That being said, if it's a BANGER, we will naturally be motivated to watch it at a faster pace. Review this list and feel free to comment, and I will update it accordingly.

WE ARE NOT DOING Taxi Driver OR Alchemy of Souls because, between copyrights, lengths, and not winning polls, they are too long to watch. Even to make Patreon-only, it takes up toooooooo many time slots for the shows we NEED to do. I still have to post on YouTube, and I need the recording space.

This IS NOT a permanent PLAN. I have made a proxy channel to fight copyrights and not tie up the main channel. (I have 4 more days for the Lovely Runner and Queen of Tears strikes to fall off lol.)

You can read the box and see that when I appeal, they have a few days with court documents. If not, the strikes fall off, but you can't upload videos while having 3 strikes. So yes, I will consider Taxi Driver and/or Alchemy of Souls when I think we can handle that. That is not today.



Given that "Taxi Driver" is too long and has been removed, here are the updated recommendations for your YouTube group reactions, focusing on intense, gripping narratives that align with your tastes and are under 20 episodes:

Top Recommendations for YouTube Group Reactions:

  • Mouse

    • Episodes: 20

    • Length: 75 minutes

    • Why: Its intense thriller and psychological elements align with your appreciation for complex and gripping narratives (similar to "Flower of Evil" and "Strangers From Hell"). The twists and turns will likely create engaging and dynamic reactions from your group.

  • Happiness

    • Episodes: 12

    • Length: 65 minutes

    • Why: This drama's unique blend of action, thriller, and a hint of supernatural (zombies) fits well with your enjoyment of "All Of Us Are Dead" and "Revenant." The shorter length makes it a manageable series for reactions, keeping content fresh and engaging.

  • Beyond Evil

    • Episodes: 16

    • Length: 70 minutes

    • Why: Its crime thriller genre with deep character development and gripping storyline is akin to your appreciation for intense narratives like "Flower of Evil" and "Extracurricular." This can provide ample material for detailed discussions and analysis.

  • Signal

    • Episodes: 16

    • Length: 60 minutes

    • Why: The unique time-travel element and critically acclaimed status make it a strong pick. Its crime and suspense elements align with your taste for well-crafted, intense dramas.

  • The Guest

    • Episodes: 16

    • Length: 60 minutes

    • Why: The horror and supernatural themes might create very engaging reactions, similar to your enjoyment of shows like "Revenant" and "Parasyte."

  • My Mister

    • Episodes: 16

    • Length: 70 minutes

    • Why: This introspective and emotional drama could attract viewers looking for heartfelt and deep reactions. It aligns with your appreciation for well-written and impactful stories like "It's Okay to Not Be Okay."

  • Kairos

    • Episodes: 16

    • Length: 70 minutes

    • Why: Its thriller and suspense elements could provide engaging content, similar to your interest in "Alice in Borderland" and "Worst of Evil."

Less Recommended (Based on Preferences):

  • Sky Castle: While popular, it may feel longer and more focused on social commentary, which might not align as well with your top favorites.

  • Save Me: Though intense, it may not offer the same level of engagement as the others on the list.

  • Vagabond: Despite its action-packed plot, it may not resonate as strongly based on your noted preferences.

In terms of intense gripping…I really loved “Mouse”! I also loved “Night Has Come” However I am still going to also recommend “Welcome to Waikiki”. It is one of the funniest kdramas I have ever seen, and well loved by the kdrama community. I think you all would love it. It’s about 3 guy friends who start a Hostel together.😂

Sallie Andrea

Mouse is insane! Still one of the best dramas I’ve ever watched

Kiana

Save me is amazing . If save me does make it to the poll I’m voting for it. That or beyond evil or mouse

Aka yuki

My mister. I haven't watched it yet because i get the feeling it would too close to home from all the reviews i have seen about it. Would love to watch it with you guys though.

key

sky castle!! soo underrated masterpiece drama..

Kailyn

Either Mouse or Beyond Evil, I personally have not watched mouse but I’ve heard great things. I’ve watched Beyond Evil though and it’s so good!!!!!! I’d definitely prefer it if you watched beyond evil :)

Josh Wright

Happiness was so good man I really want u guys to watch that shit. It’s actually depressing every time I see it mentioned again cuz I just don’t think as many ppl have seen it and it’s not new so it gets stomped on polls

Adlen

Beyond evil

janaé yukimura

vagabond, mouse, or beyond evil will have my vote!!

irie

Sky castle!

@NicaSU97

I haven't watched Mouse yet but it's the most I've seen high praise on, so it would be great to finally watch it with everyone. Rewatching Signal would be amazing too since it was recently announced that there will be 'Signal 2', title and cast hasn't been confirmed yet last i've seen. Sky Castle is something that's been on my list for a long time too 😆 but i keep delaying cause of the heavy reality stuff haha. At least watching it along with the group would help 😆😆

Josh Wright

I get that when shows are polled they’re competing for the same slots but I feel like it’d be better for old shows to be polled separate to new and airing shows. Ppl are more inclined to pick the show they are planning on watching then what they have.

Faisal

Vagabond or Mouse

Josh Wright

If I die before a happiness reaction on this channel I’ll be dying with regrets. 😢

Keziah

Mouse is great

Lola_❤️❤️

I must live to see a reaction of sky castle and the irony of how I was just rewatching taxi driver and thinking how I would love to see a reaction to it only to read this, so funny.

Evrim

Mouse is a very good series, but I've been waiting for Happiness for a long time... I think I'm going to cry Loooool

Evrim

Happiness 🤍

Yo E

Happiness

Marvelous JJ

Thank you for the update! I'll be rooting for Happiness at last. I refuse to vote for Vagabond, unless there's S2 :D :D I still feel cheated by this one.

J Man

World of the Married? (Opposite of romance because it's all about cheating. More revenge)

martina1712

Mouse my number 1 pick... Beyond evil and signal have my vote too 👌🤗

Ash Jamil

MY MISTERRR PLZZZZZ. ITS SOO GOOD AND DEEP!!!

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

We need the one that most people are willing to watch. I dont want to intentionally create a slot from the unpopular choices any further than i am doing now haha

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

The best example I can think of is trying to find the strongest person in the world but separating kids from men because the kids can never beat them…. but having a kids only category does not actually get me the strongest person in the world and only get to be the strongest kid in the world. And we are trying to cover the most popular ( shows that will make the most people happy ) shows.

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

Can’t forget that these also go on YouTube usually and the algorithm is entirely a popularity contest. We pay an economic penalty when the videos do not perform well

Fatima Almeqbaali

My mister is a very deep show that you will not regret watching it. IU is the lead actor

Doaa

Beyond evil

Aglesh

my mister

Ferdinand Buot

Sky Castle for the win you'd love it!

Snax

happiness or signal. the rest are mid. not really sure why you would do mouse but not consider taxi driver tbh. but just my opinion. im sure neither of these shows will win, however, so i will most likely end up taking another break.

ECCENTRiC

hope my mister wins beautiful show

Josh Wright

I appreciate the explanation but tbf I already fully understood ur perspective before typing. It’s just in this one circumstance my bias is far outweighing my ability to be reasonable lol. I agree completely with ur approach to ur reactions it’s just frustrating in this circumstance cuz happiness is a favourite of mine

Josh Wright

Idek why I suggested to separate pole thing I was just heated and the words were flying out lol

Jay L

oh!! This is exciting - I haven't seen Kairos and My Mister at all so that is unfairly off my radar. Anyway, definitely rooting hard for Mouse and Beyond Evil. Two of my top kdramas I've watched!! (for the genre). As already mentioned its similarities to Flower of Evil, in addition I felt Mouse was a little slow at times. Something I felt towards Flower of Evil, but despite that I have enjoyed both immensely so. Mostly its just because I want the plot to develop quickly and to get answers to the mysteries. Beyond Evil I don't remember the best, but I do remember enjoying it. It is definitely one of those shows that you need to pay attention to the plot, people, and relationships or just be a little confused at times (I chose the latter lol). Side note: Happiness was not bad...I did have a good time watching. It did take me over a year to finish it...By that, I started it and it didn't hold my interest, so I put it aside and then started it completely over many many months later. That is just my personal experience though and others will definitely feel different. Totally understand not doing Taxi Driver or Alchemy of Souls. I personally never finished Taxi Driver and it took me a very long time to finish Alchemy of Souls. It was a fun watch, but not one of my favs.

A

My pick would be healer, but maybe there's a reason it's not mentioned?

A.NSnow

Happiness is good to watch

nurlyaiiym

Vagabond is so good.. Recently I watched Snowdrop and loved it. However, I didn’t like Jisoo’s acting that much, but since it’s the first role, it’s okay.

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

No worries people suggest it basically every time. Lol. At least you’re friendly enough to answer. There’s five people who liked your post so that means they were thinking it to or feel validated by your feedback. I made this list based on the feedback so if there is a way I can make sense of something I will consider it

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

There’s a certain point that even the underrated K dramas beat out my western live action shows which is part of the reason I utilize the feedback and made this less so what I’m saying is there’s a scenario where happiness will still do better than some random western show when we cross that bridge

Jojo

I think you guys will like Fiery Priest it has a mix of comedy, suspense, mystery and action

Hey Lych

Haven’t seen the rest so my vote will be Signal. It’s a really great show though

Emanuel

I've only watched Vagabond from this list but wouldn't recommend that given it was left incomplete. Happiness sounds the most interesting to me simply because it has actors I like & it's a quick and easy 12 episodes compared to the rest

94_h

My Mister and SKY Castle are TOP TIER for real guys! Impeccable ones. Thank you for considering more options, even though I love rom-coms, haha.

Ri Ta

Signal is all I needed to hear! Looking to the kdrama gods for this one 🙏🏽

Alexia

I'm rooting for Happiness !

_k.ayl.a_

happiness FINALLY

Sal

Signal, Beyond Evil, Kairos and Mouse... Let's goopooo

Mia

Vagabond or Happiness for sure !

Khadijah

Move to Heaven?

Nelfy L

My mister

Rosey Martinez

Save me not a lot of people react to it and I would love to see your guys perspective on the show

J Man

While hoping you look at World of the Married, my vote would either go to Happiness or Sky Castle. I seen neither, but they've been high on my list. Happiness being a monster killing show while Sky Castle I hear is similar to Penthouse.

Austin

mouse or beyond evil are 2 of the best!!!

J Man

Is Vagabond good? I watched it one episode and dropped it for Memories of Alhambra at the time. For me, it came off as just "Suzy with a gun"; and I'm a huge fan of Suzy too. I might try picking it back up

Mochi

I vote Save Me, My Mister, then Happiness in that order

Marvelous JJ

Ironically enough, I did the opposite. Stopped Memories of the Alhambra after 1 episode and at some point later started Vagabond :) I enjoyed it overall, but the problem is it was supposed to have a 2nd season so there's currently no ending.

Mochi

actually sky castle just cause I want the social commentary

Marvelous JJ

Just to avoid false expectations, hopefully you will find this extra info helpful. Personally I wouldn't call Happiness "a monster killing show". While it does have such aspect, it's really not a typical zombie show. It's more of a thriller set during pandemic and lockdown times.

Marvelous JJ

I haven't seen Save Me yet, but would definitely be interested if it won the poll. I started Sky Castle, but haven't finished yet. Might be interesting to get your perspective on this craziness.

Charles

My Mister is incredible.

sash wing

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 probably non most of the mentioned titles deal with people in relationships (no spoilers). I would say 90 percent deal with subject for either the main characters or background ones.

Yomna Odeh

hoping for mouse to win

Bendover

Mouse or Happiness

J.K.

Since you have Signal on your list, I would like to recommend another drama that i loved even more. It is the drama Tunnel. In 1986, Park Gwang Ho works as an excellent and enthusiastic detective. His life changes when he’s pursuing leads in a serial homicide case and then passes through a time portal, which transports him to present day Seoul. He meets a new partner Kim Sun Jae, an elite detective who happens to be a bit eccentric, but is one highly skilled investigator. The detective duo will also find help in psychology professor, Shin Jae Yi. To not spoil to much, i am not saying more about the plot. The drama is exciting and captivating and consists out of 16 episodes.

Marvelous JJ

I loved it. Found it really interesting and unique the way the show tries to find the line between a sick person and a monster, instead of the usual monster fighting ;)

Bella

Fiery priest please

Mell

Glad to see Happiness back on the radar! Would be happy with seeing any of these choices in the future. But really looking forward to Happiness, The Guest, Kairos and Save Me if they ever come into being. Wasn't expecting to see Kairos on any list as I feel like many haven't seen it. I did recommend it a couple times and I'm surprised to see it here. If anything it kind of reminds me of the fantasy and suspense we see in Lovely Runner. Definitely think you guys would like it.

Madison

Mouse please

Sahra Cali

Beyond evil pls pls pls pls you guys will enjoy 100%

Melinda

vagabond and save me from this list. Other suggestions Mad dog 16eps, The last Empress ( this one is a bit long 26 eps), Reborn rich 16eps, Penthouse (also long but worth it imo) and The world of the married 16eps 🤣🙈

Name

Mouse hopefully 🙆🏻‍♀️

Ellie C

Happiness for sure

Melany Castillo

My Mister is a beautifull drama, I hope it wins.

Iris Lee

Yessss Signal is the best one!

Himani Tokhi

I really liked Mouse and Happiness both are amazing show's... You should definitely invest your time in these two..💯

Anah!

Mouse and My Mister are my choice picks. Iam surprised to see my mister in your list it doesn’t get as much talk now but it’s so good.

el

i looove Beyond Evil but omg ya'll need to watch Signal and The Guest !!

Mae Q

SIGNAL!

dreamiezen

the way mouse keeps getting mentioned by you but not winning because of 20 eps 😭 waiting for the day it'll win

DJ

BEYOND EVIL please

YaBoyRockLee Reactions

Its episode length has nothing to do with why it loses or not for me. Episode length matters for taxi driver because thats over 20 episodes. Unless mouse is over 20 episodes and i am unaware of that….lol People just have not voted for mouse

Marvelous JJ

A couple more shows, which are not on the list but would be worth to keep in mind for the future: Move to Heaven Vigilante Also Under The Queen's Umbrella would also fall under non romance category. It's definitely not the focus of the show.

Andre

All great shows, but Signal has no business losing this upcoming poll lol. Signal is like the OG show that spawned all these great crime/thrillers in K-drama land, let them watch the greatness that is Signal

Andre

My Mister is a banger in its own way, great performances by the cast, but it doesn't really fit into this mix of shows. It's more of a slower slice of life and social commentary like Sky Castle, you don't have to take it off the list, but just a heads-up Lee

Pleb

Beyond evil and happiness

KSH Dimples

Definitely voting for My Mister, it's a masterpiece! It's full of characters that I think you guys would love. I can already imagine your long discussions after watching each episode. Though it's quite slow in the beginning, the whole 16-episode journey will be worth it :)

Geewonie

MOUSE!!!!! they'll go crazy predicting the plot 🤣

BaekSoo

Beyond Evil is the GOAT

L.S

Beyond Evil? Yes sir. 👏🏼 Sky Castle - another masterpiece even if it’s not the same type of show people are used to. Happiness? Fun. I’d also put Tomorrow on the list even on personal time

L.S

Save me is also a good one, darker too. I’m excited for all of these picks!

Marvelous JJ

I know we're already in the voting round, so this is too late for suggestions. But as someone who has binge watched 3 seasons of Sweet Home recently, just wanted to let you know that there's definitely interest for S3 reactions. Whenever that would be :)
