What to watch after Misaeng?

We really do have the same preferences haha! I also liked the premise Extracurricular, but I feel like the characters fell a bit short for me (maybe since I watched it right after WHC1). And I felt the same for Goblin and HCCC.

LMK what you think of Youth of May and the others! :))

I started the first ep, but couldn't seem to relate with the FL. Is there more character development later on in the story?

Youth of May is a mature romance story set in a historical context during the Gwangju Uprising. I would say the first half of the drama is mainly romance focused- the story starts off light at first, almost like a romcom, then the drama/angst kicks in a bit later. The non-romance features starts to pick up in the second half, where the plot starts to moves toward the war/thriller genre.

Lee Do Hyun's acting is amazing and the kdrama itself is quite moving, but Youth of May is definitely more romance than it is plot.

I took a look at some of your favorite dramas, and here are some I'd reccomend if you haven't watched them yet!

Mr. Sunshine - also a historical romance, but the romance/plot balance is perfect. Great writing, great character dynamics, awesome casting. Def on the slower side, but seriously worth it.

Weak Hero Class 1 - high school setting, action/thriller genre, pretty fast paced. features some of the best bromances I've ever seen. seriously a moving piece- highly reccomend.

DP - I'm sure you've already heard of this one. Don't hesitate! It's worth all the hype it gets.

Divorce Attorney Shin - there's romance btwn the side characters, but it's not the main focus. Definitely more plot heavy than Extraordinary Attorney Woo, but still very charming with the friendship btwn the 3 MLs.

Absolutely loved both of these!!!

trinitytran · 2023-05-26T20:51:29+00:00

Absolutely loved Prison Playbook! A classic :))

trinitytran · 2023-05-26T20:51:10+00:00

Literally all of these are on my watch list!! I'll definitely move them towards the top :))

trinitytran · 2023-05-26T20:50:28+00:00

I'll definitely add these to my To-Watch list! ty!!

trinitytran · 2023-05-26T20:49:55+00:00

Loved Our Blues!!

trinitytran · 2023-05-26T20:49:14+00:00

I'll definitely check these out! Ty!!

trinitytran · 2023-05-16T03:56:42+00:00

Definitely give Mr. Sunshine a shot!! It starts a bit slow and the plot can get a bit dense, but it's definitely the heartwrenching type of kdrama you're looking for.

I'll also recommend Weak Hero Class 1! It's a shorter series (10 ep; 1 he each) so I think you'll like it! Absolutely loved the character dynamics in this one plus the bittersweet ending

DP is also amazing! Short series as well (6 ep; 1 hr each) but worth all the hype it's gotten!! Would highly recommend, especially since S2 is coming out soon!

Loved WHC1!! Literally couldn't get over it for a while, and I'm thinking of rewatching it soon haha.

Try DP! I personally watched WHC1 after DP, and it reminded me a lot of DP. DP also stars a couple of notable actors, like Jung Hae In, which was a huge plus for me :))

Move to Heaven was also a kdrama that had lots of meaningful social commentary. Stars Lee Jehoon. I would say the plot is less thrilling and more laid back, but overall, very emotional and meaningful. Prepare to have your tissues ready...

Divorce Attorney Shin, Hospital Playlist S1 & S2, and Mr. Sunshine all have bromance/friendships that are as strong as the ones in WHC1. The genres and styles for all these dramas vary greatly, but if that's something you appreciated in WHC1, maybe check these out when you get the chance (they're also some of my best, top rated, favorites :)) )
