After #JoyOfLife2, I just have no idea what to watch. Due to its high quality acting and story, I need to transition to something as good. Usually I could do that with an older drama, but JOL2 has a unique scifi/wuxia/comedy blend that is can't be replicated. So I'm just rewatching JOL2. 🙃
Hunting for next #Kdrama & hoping Atypical Family won't be a dud.
I kept choosing KDrama duds (for me, anyway) so I really want to pick a good one this time!

And some of my fav lighter dramas were Another Oh Hae Young and Tale of the Nine Tailed. Have to say that it's very rare that rom coms will catch my attention.

So give your best genres and your two most liked and most quickly dropped this year to help guide me!

It's so different, it might serve as a palette cleanser. Not one to binge IMO, more like a daily visit with friends.
It doesn't have the thrills or intensity of JoL of course, if that's what you're wanting more of. It's two men in their 40s who happened into a relationship figuring it out. -

AnnaAnthro (annaanthro@mastodon.social)'s status on Saturday, 15-Jun-2024 21:57:12 JST AnnaAnthro I liked Agency esp her and also as yet another culture’s remake-take on the French series 10% but it had a lot of rom-com elements in it.
Baeksang nominated drama - Political Fever - a dark political satire about a Olympic athlete running for president
Queen Maker - about a political spinmaster taking revenge
Into the Ring - almost Wes Andersonesque satire about municipal politics (all on Viki) were great series about women in politics.

Ronsboy67 (ronsboy67@mas.to)'s status on Saturday, 15-Jun-2024 21:57:13 JST Ronsboy67 @liztai @AnnaAnthro Sorry(ish) for butting in, but if I may suggest something devoid of romance and quite different from the genres you've mentioned, the always excellent Lee Bo Young really shone for me in #Agency. A genuinely FL-centric Drama in which she showed in every episode that she really did "need a man like a fish needs a bicycle"
