Kdrama Suggestions: What Should We React to Next? After love in disguise which is airing so we’re gonna catch up quickly I need something else (Patreon)

Sad Shows: What We Binge vs. What We Don't 🎬

"No sad shows" was the wrong way to say it.

Sad is fine. What we can't binge is a show that wallows in despair with no forward momentum.

WHAT WE BINGE

• Something to overcome, someone to defeat

• Schemers, villains, setbacks, new twists

• Shows that spark our curiosity, anger or joy

HIGH SCHOOL IS FINE TOO

Extraordinary You is a high school story, but it's mature, immersive and full of scheming against an invisible enemy.

True Beauty is high school too, and it's just really fun. Can't even explain why. 😂

Twinkling Watermelon is borderline high school, and we didn't really care for that one.

We want fun over masterpiece. If it makes us feel something and want the next episode, it works.

HARD FOR US TO BINGE DOESN'T MEAN BAD

Doom at Your Service and Goblin are great shows. Call them masterpieces and we won't argue.

They're just slow, internal and long next to what we usually watch.

IF IT'S YOUR FAVORITE

Just tell us. "I've had no one to watch it with" is totally fair.

The cards below break it down show by show. 👇

Much love, everyone.

We’re taking Kdrama suggestions again!

Kdramas only for this one. Blossom (2024) won the Chinese drama poll, and we’re going to start recording it this week. Love in the Clouds has started posting and replaced Pursuit of Jade, and Fated Hearts is wrapping up this week.

I’m looking for something bingeable with conflict. Something to look forward to, challenges to overcome, and a story that keeps moving. A Korean Odyssey, True Beauty, and Undercover High School are great examples of what I’m looking for.

How to submit your suggestion:

React to "XYZ" - Kdrama

If you have trailer views, screenshots, rankings, or other audience interest to share, add that too. It helps.

I already trust that if you’re suggesting it, you think it’s good. What helps me most now is the audience case.

Sad parts are fine. What I don’t want is a show that drags and leaves us with nothing but sorrow and despair. I generally prefer a good antagonist too, someone who gives the characters something to push against.

Undercover High School had humor, sadness, things to overcome, and great antagonists. That’s the pocket I’m looking for.

Please check what we’ve already reacted to before suggesting it. If you mean a new season, say which season.
