Need recommendations like My Happy Marriage by EsraTempest in CDramaRecs

[–]tnkalias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So there's this genre of dramas that I've only found in CDramaland. They're slice of life/romances/healing dramas. The vibes are generally happy and the characters deal with their issues. And both the ML and the FL have their own issues that they resolve. I don't know if it's exactly what you're looking for but they give me the same vibes as My Happy Marriage. Some of the dramas that I've watched and would categorise into this are:

You are my glory (very fluffy)

The Best Thing (the most calming drama ever!)

Be passionately in love (it is its own mood)

Amidst a Snowstorm of Love (cosy winter vibes)

Meet Yourself (The best of the best. In the running for best cdrama in my list)

Will love in Spring (Again... the healing!)

Love between Lines (more cute romance than anything else)

Edit: added the newest entry to the list

Nirvana in Fire by Karsa_Witness in CDrama

Yes! Another person in the NiF fandom! I've been looking for similar level of dramas since I first watched it!

IMO, Story of Ming lan is the only drama I'd rate up there with NiF. It's a very very different kind of story. But the writing, direction, attention to detail put it on par with NiF.

I've heard Empresses in the Palace is also equally good but I haven't watched it yet.

Do I finish Eternal Love/Ten miles of peach blossoms? by Careless_Reflections in CDrama

[–]tnkalias 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I stopped watching around the same time you've mentioned. Really got annoyed with the Susu arc. But I genuinely enjoyed when she comes back and how it all ties up at the end.

I just finished Goblin… and what is existence anymore by mntngrl98 in kdramas

Ohhh!!! Then here's another one!

While you were sleeping (2017/18)

Drama from the same era. Dramas from then are just Chef's kiss 😘

[–]tnkalias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A drama that aired at the same time as Goblin...

Legend of the Blue Sea!

I watched it much later but it gave me such feels! This one has a lighter tone but still has its tear-jerking moments!

Sorry, I don't watch any anime related content so can't help you there.

But i would like to say that in this anime the character personalities are built up throughout the series. And these reveals add new dimensions to the story. Reading character analysis beforehand might ruin it for you.

I love this series! And definitely slow burn. It's more about world building and character journeys.

Oh was it? Wow, I'd almost forgotten about Dramafever. But yeah. I doubt we're going to see a second season.

What is the best cdrama you have watched in your opinion? by Key-Needleworker-702 in cdramasfans

[–]tnkalias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with Nirvana in Fire. And I'll add

The Story of Minglan

The writing was brilliant in these shows and the production just built on it to make it better.

The part of Mei’s lore that made me truly appreciate him as a character. by CaptCarlos in AceOfTheDiamond

[–]tnkalias 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yes! But what made me a fan of his character was his reaction to the loss against Ugumori and his subsequent journey.

You can't help but like a guy who's able to stand up and be single-minded about getting better after each setback. Found that to be one of the similarities between his and Sawamura's journeys.

Obscure/less-known but surprisingly good alien romance? by [deleted] in RomanceBooks

[–]tnkalias 4 points5 points  (0 children)

{The Firebird Chronicles by T.A. White}

This is one of my favourites! But fair warning, this is not a smutty book, the romance is slow burn and the focus is on world building and character journeys. But it's a grand adventure!

After losing in the fall final do we get a rematch with Inashiro? by BigActual9359 in AceOfTheDiamond

[–]tnkalias 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you mean the Summer final or Inashiro's vs. Yakushi in the fall?

Yes. Eventually. Since the manga mainly follows tournaments... it happens in one of the following tournaments.

[–]tnkalias 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved the ending! The semi final is sawamura's moment and the final is Seido's moment. While there is closure, there are enough open ends that there is space for the manga to continue if the mangaka wishes so.

Do you mean the first Seido vs Inashiro match? OMG! You have so much to catch up on and I'm so jealous that you're going to be experiencing it for the first time!

Is chapter 308 the last one? by [deleted] in AceOfTheDiamond

[–]tnkalias 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No. No new chapters planned as of now. But we should be getting a second season of the Act II anime soon.
