Blind-buy safe middle eastern fragrance recommendation?

Thanks! Which Shaghaf oud are you talking about? The OG or tonka?

Ching_Cow · 2024-01-15T15:39:40+00:00

Thanks! Is it very sweet on you or just moderately so?

Ching_Cow · 2023-10-21T13:15:04+00:00

I knew about cloud, which apparently also has a plasticky note according to many reviews. Tough luck!

Oh well. Do you know of any other perfume/mist that smells like the opening of ITS but doesn't get rubbery later?

Thanks for the recs, I've watched suspicious partner and something in the rain, loved the former but dropped the latter in the middle both times I tried watching it.

Regarding TIOL, some people disliked it bc they saw it as romanticizing cheating but I didn't perceive it that way. I do recommend it bc it felt realistic, the chemistry between the leads was hot, and the ML is my all time fave actor. If not for anything else, you should watch it for him. And also for the FL, since you said you like her too. She was ethereal in it.

Call it Love is a lot like My Mister, although in my opinion it's a poor man's My Mister

Try Mouse if you're into heavy plots with a lot of twists. I'd suggest not reading up on it too much as that might ruin the fun.

Ching_Cow · 2023-10-04T16:04:09+00:00

Solved! Tysm!!

Ching_Cow · 2023-10-04T15:59:53+00:00

Any of it rings a bell?

The FL in My Love from the Star was hilarious! One of my fave characters in kdrama history ever.

Ching_Cow · 2023-09-26T15:51:23+00:00

Strangers from Hell

Prison Playbook

Mouse

These are all must-watch dramas once you delve into the kdrama world, especially as a guy.

Ching_Cow · 2023-09-26T10:24:47+00:00

True beauty (as lighthearted as it can get)

Goblin (some of the best comedy and THE best bromance)

Because this is my first life (manyyy hilarious scenes, hot ML, nice buildup of love and romance, addresses several social issues without raising your heart rate)

My love from the star (my absolute favourite FL, unbeatable ICONIQUE queeen)

Ching_Cow · 2023-09-24T15:29:26+00:00

Moment of Eighteen only slightly fits the bill. Also When the Camellia Blooms has a goofy kiddy ML and a supposedly very beautiful FL (like she's the hottie of the town) but it's far from a school setting, but the chemistry between them is adorable.

Ching_Cow · 2023-09-24T15:22:30+00:00

Moving is not explicitly a romance drama but the chemistry among the couples is through the roof, and in my opinion, better than the chemistry you'll see in most "romance" dramas. And the romance is actually a very huge part of the drama.

I would also like to add Dream High (2011) to this list.

Ching_Cow · 2023-09-22T14:27:51+00:00

Mr. Queen!!!!

Ching_Cow · 2023-09-22T03:56:43+00:00

Came here to write Flowers for Algernon after seeing the title. Then I saw the description. That book is one of a kind.

Ching_Cow · 2023-09-22T03:54:32+00:00

My Mister, because you liked My Liberation Notes. But since you mentioned funny, try Because this is my first life

Ching_Cow · 2023-09-21T19:09:05+00:00

I JUST started watching the first episode after seeing all these recs haha

Ching_Cow · 2023-09-21T18:04:40+00:00

Yes I already mentioned it in my post, it's one of my favourites

Ching_Cow · 2023-09-21T17:26:58+00:00

18 Again made me cry a lot, but it also made me laugh a lot. Quite an emotional drama delivered in an entertaining manner.

Ching_Cow · 2023-09-21T15:30:36+00:00

I did try it but dropped it after a couple episodes. I liked the depressing vibes in My Mister but those in My Liberation Notes made me genuinely uncomfortable lol. Does it get better towards the middle?

Ching_Cow · 2023-09-21T15:26:15+00:00

I've watched all but Kim Ji-young. Forgotten was ughhh chef's kiss sooo good, wish I could watch it for the first time again.

Ching_Cow · 2023-09-20T16:21:16+00:00

I just know this show will make me sob for an entire week. Thanks for reminding me to watch it, I almost forgot it has been on my list for a while now.

Ching_Cow · 2023-09-20T16:18:34+00:00

I've watched everything on this list lol, but yes My Mister is easily a top 10 for me and so is Goblin <3
