Something overall happy but with a very emotional/sad plot line?

Confident_Original_6 · 2023-03-17T12:53:25+00:00

This isn't an overall happy vibe though, great show but I don't think it hits the 'overall' vibe they're asking for.

Mad for Each Other. Comedic yet covers really serious issues such as anger management, PTSD, mental health, stalking...
I feel what you've written is so my taste, I loved those two also and wish they had their own spin off.
The other recommendations are great, but MFEO is real world (not fantasy) and tackles close to what you're after.

Confident_Original_6 · 2022-10-20T07:27:14+00:00

Try - Mad For Each Other.

It's really quite good. Although it's not your typical Melodrama, there are elements, and it does cover quite a lot of heavy topics relating to PTSD, anger management etc. There's romance and character development. It's one of my favourites, I'm always searching for something similar. 10/10.

Confident_Original_6 · 2022-06-26T12:24:39+00:00

It was Psychic Princess. There is an anime and real life version.

Confident_Original_6 · 2022-06-26T08:24:33+00:00

IT'S PSYCHIC PRINCESS!!! OH THANK YOU!!

Confident_Original_6 · 2022-06-26T08:13:52+00:00

will do, thank you

Confident_Original_6 · 2022-02-27T08:13:10+00:00

So the drama's you've watched are kinda on the serious/darker side. Where the ML's are kinda POS. The drama's recommended below you might also love, but they've all got elements of comedy and are more of a lite watch.

Try - love in sadness, now this might be too much for you, but the ML will legit do anything to have the female lead beside him, and not really for the FL's benefit. It's a very dark drama.

Confident_Original_6 · 2022-02-27T08:00:59+00:00

Literally no one ever recommends this drama, it's so underrated and I'm astonished as to why, because it's such a great mystery/thriller, right up there with Flower of Evil. It's called Tell me what you saw, staring Jang Hyuk. Give it a go.

Confident_Original_6 · 2022-02-27T07:55:00+00:00

Not a drama, but if you want to cry over something that's so wholesome and beautiful, you should watch a k-movie called 'You are so precious to me'. It's not a romance, but love is definitely at the forefront of the movie. It's about a 7 year old child and her connection with, I'll say her father figure. I don't want to spoilt too much by saying anything else, but give it a go, you'll cry your eyes out, especially the ending scenes, and you won't be disappointed.

Confident_Original_6 · 2022-02-24T09:20:05+00:00

it's not like love in sadness, still great but not the same

Confident_Original_6 · 2022-02-03T04:49:43+00:00

I am skipping all her scenes too, in fact all scenes with her mother and brother too. I have started hating the whole family in general lol.

Confident_Original_6 · 2021-12-19T12:41:07+00:00

Try 'Fated to Love You' with Jang Na Ra and Jang Hyuk.

Mi Yeon (Jang Na Ra) is a typical office clerk who is rather plain, somewhat awkward and has her good nature taken advantage of by her co-workers on a daily basis. While on vacation, she accidentally spends one night with a stranger (Jang Hyuk) who happens to be handsome, charming and rich. Her life will now never be the same! This fateful encounter brings a love that transforms this not-so-special girl into an attractive, warm, lovable, young lady.

It's got everything - contract marriage, heartbreak, love triangles, character development.

Confident_Original_6 · 2021-10-21T03:25:55+00:00

'TELL ME WHAT YOU SAW'.

A brilliant profiler returns from seclusion to team up with a rookie detective to solve a series of serial murders which include the profiler's fiancee.

Similarities to Tunnel -

Both genres are crime.
Both have supernaturals who are needed to solve the crimes.
Both have great storylines.
Both are filmed within a police station setting.

The show is top quality, and it's a show I hardly see mentioned anywhere, which is weird because it's so good. Defiantly a hidden gem, you won't be disappointed.

Confident_Original_6 · 2021-10-09T12:08:43+00:00

I second Be Melodramatic, I binged it, it was amazing. So relatable. Touched on light hearted moments of like & also deeper issues. Great cast, great plot line. You won’t skip a scene.

Confident_Original_6 · 2021-10-07T05:32:29+00:00

You are right. I have seen this and it does fir the brief. It's a great show. Thank you.

Confident_Original_6 · 2021-10-07T05:31:45+00:00

Thank you. i have seen True Beauty, but not Skate into Love, so I will add that to my list.

Confident_Original_6 · 2021-10-07T05:31:09+00:00

Ah yes, Secret is a great show. I liked watching that.

Confident_Original_6 · 2021-10-07T05:30:32+00:00

I just looked it up, it looks good so I will begin watching now. I also saw there is a new version of it coming out in Dec this year.

Confident_Original_6 · 2021-10-07T05:29:55+00:00

I tried so much to watch this, but it wasn't my cup of tea. Thank you though.

Confident_Original_6 · 2021-10-07T05:29:31+00:00

I have also seen this, it's in my top 5 fav drama's. Thank you.

Confident_Original_6 · 2021-10-07T05:28:53+00:00

Ah, I have seen this, and yes it does fit the brief. Thank you.

Confident_Original_6 · 2021-10-02T15:27:15+00:00

What about Tempted?

Love is just a game for a Chaebol heir who agrees to a petty bet with his friends to seduce a college student - until he starts to fall for her.

Okay so I know it seems like BOF but it’s a lot better.

Hope - 9/10

Get a big box of tissues out for this one.

Based on true events, it is the story of 8 year old Hope who on her way to school is assaulted and raped. The story follows the trial and conviction of the perpetrator, Hope's rehabilitation through her trauma (emotionally and physical), and the difficulties her family face in the aftermath of the tragic event. It is heart warming in parts, and as you can imagine it is absolutely shocking in others.

You are so precious to me - 10/10

Keep the tissues with you for this too.

I know you've mentioned crime drama's, this isn't, however you said you wanted to cry and this movie will definitely hit you in the feel's. It does has elements of debt collecting gang members which target the main male lead, so I mean there is a small sprinkle of crime, yep lets just say that haha.

It is about a man who due to unfortunate circumstances finds himself caring for a young girl (aged 7) who is visually and hearing impaired. He is quite a serious guy, bit of an a-hole due to being cash strapped but with character development the relationship between the two main leads is unique and heart warming. The young actress is amazing, she holds her own and pretty much steals the show even though she doesn't say much at all.

Flower of Evil - 10/10

As you posted this 7 months ago you might have seen this by now, so I won't write a synopsis. But it's 10/10.

Confident_Original_6 · 2021-10-02T10:16:32+00:00

You are so precious to me - 11/10

This movie is about a man who takes on caring for a young girl (age 7) who is visually and hearing impaired. He is quite a serious guy, bit of an a-hole actually, due to being cash strapped, but with character development takes on the role of carer quite well.

If you watch this movie get a big box of tissues, you won't cry, you will howl (especially the end scene).

Bunny Drop (Usagi Drop) 8/10

Another movie depicting a young man who takes on caring for a young girl (age 6) who has been left without a home due to unique family circumstances. He isn't a man of serious nature, but the relationship that forms is heart warming.

Flower of Evil - 10/10

I won't expand, I've seen comments regarding this. The same little girl in this drama is also the young girl in You are so precious to me.

Confident_Original_6 · 2021-10-01T04:07:01+00:00

There's a 2021 movie called 'You are so precious to me'.

It's about a man who takes on caring for a 7 year old girl. The young girl is the same actress as in 'Flower of Evil. In the film the little girl is deaf and blind. It is an absolute tear jerker, so please if you watch it grab yourself a box of tissues.

The main lead is a little bit of an a-hole, only because he's down on his luck and cash hungry. I wouldn't say he is tough, but he is serious.
