To. Jenny and Ice Mound (BingGoo)

It will always be Splish Splash Love. Everything about it is perfect. The chemistry, the acting, and the back drop. Everything else comes second for me.

TO: JENNY is probably the best "short series" (2 episodes).

But for something really short (21 minutes), shot only on an iPhone, LIFE IS BUT A DREAM (2022) by director Park Chan-wook is remarkable.

Would You Like a Cup of Coffee. Enough to make me actually want take coffee for a while.

Clearly my favorite short drama is “To.Jenny”. A story which made me smile for more than two hours. Lovely.

Another favorites of mine are “The happy loner” and the KBS Drama Special “Understanding of dance”.

If we count longer (several episodes) dramas, I can add “Girls Generation 1979” or “Vivid Romance”.

So if I can only pick one, that one is Splish Splash Love for all the reasons @daebakgrits cites, and despite the woefully/comically green performance from baby Ahn Hyo-seop.

I did quite like To.Jenny and would recommend it, but I have to agree with @missvictrix that Seven First Kisses is wonderfully, magically, intensely terrible and brings new meaning to "so bad it's good."

Drama special - If we were a season.

For web drama - Gogh, The Starry Night
This is my guilty pleasure watch. The drama that introduced me to the hotness and charm of KYK!

Short drama: You drive me Crazy

Thinking about this, I realized I haven't really watched that many short K-dramas, but I'd also go with White Christmas and One Day Off. They're two very different shows, but both are unique and haunting and well worth a watch.

There are so many good KBS special dramas in addition to the webdramas or short ones.

Adolescent Medley : My first drama with Kwang Dong-Yeon. The story was cute and the OST was great.

Like Otters : it was about 2 lonely teenagers. Ro-Woon from KTL was way better used in this one.

The Palace : the story is about the friendship between a maid and the Queen. There was almost no male character.

Everything and Nothing : the theme of prostitution among teenagers is pretty rare.

The 8th Sense : It's a BL drama but the drama was more focused on grief and on the transition from a student life to a working one.

Splish Splash Love : of course for the couple. They were great. And KSG in a main role, finally!

Oh good heavens, how old is that Lotte thing? I forgot all about it! The pinnacle of Golden Cheesedom 👍🏼

I am with @mayhemf. I really quite liked the short drama You Drive Me Crazy starring Lee Yoo-Young and Kim Seon-ho.

Sure, the plot is basically the tired old story of whether or not men and women can really be friends, but it's done really sweetly in my estimation. The FL is wonderfully imperfect and our ML has his pros and cons as well.

There's also a scene when our main couple is fighting that takes place in a narrow, empty street at night whose banter and staging seemed much more like a stage play than a filmed drama, and I was quite taken by its presentation.

Whenever I walk by the imprints of shoes that were made on a sidewalk when the concrete was wet these days, I think of this drama.

7 first kisses is SUCH a throwback!

I watched that, My Secret Romance and Noble, My Love in quick succession and was convinced dramaland was the most cheesetastic place in the world 😅.

If I had to pick one, it'd definitely be Splish Splash Love but to add to the list of recommendations, I also quite liked Handmade Love with Lee Soo-hyuk.

I haven't watched very many of these (but I'm ready to take everyone else's picks as recommendations!), but I'm going to have to agree with @daebakgrits and go with Splash Splash Love. In fact, I literally just finished rewatching it last night and it was even better than I remember. I love the doppelgangers of all the people in her life that she meets in the past, and then when it happens in reverse with the few remaining characters at the end! And I always find it fascinating when actual historical characters show up in dramas. I'll just be over here watching my favorite parts and impatiently waiting for Yoon Doo-joon to star in something else.

I know it's a drama special so that's why it's counted but I just cannot think of White Christmas as a short form drama... 😅
I mean, if you count it, are you also counting all the 6-10 episode "full" form dramas that AREN'T specials? Lol

(It was before it's time, in so many ways. It would do numbers if it came out now, new, on Netflix. But it's 12 years old instead 😂)

Individualist ms Ji Young and any drama special which is written by Kwon Hye Ji from The Red Teacher, A Bad Family and dancing the waltz alone.

To Jenny and Splish Splash Love are my top faves. Wednesday 3:30 PM was also a cute short drama.

Longing for Spring is my favorite web drama of all time. It's a friends-to-lovers romance that makes me swoon on every rewatch. The male lead (Lee Won-geun) is the kind of boyfriend I want in my life.

White Christmas (one of my top 10 dramas). It made me a fan of KWB, Sung Joon, and Lee El forever. Good to see so many successful stars get their start with this one.

2 episodes (more like a movie): To. Jenny
3 episodes: Page Turner
4 episodes: Soundtrack#1
6 episodes: D.P. first season
10 episodes: Move to Heaven

Splash Splash Love hands down.
Runner Up: If I were a season

Web dramas are my go to when I want a quick k drama fix Love playlist is my favourite. I also enjoyed Scripting your destiny, A teen, Let me off the Earth, and It’s ok to be sensitive.

I have to add Two lights: Relumina in the category of drama adverts. It raises the issue of the impact of losing sight at a young age and promotes a device that enhances limited sight. It holds a special place because it was the first ‘drama’ we watched alongside Everything and nothing in our Watch and Discuss K drama club.

I love KBS specials and one of my favourites is The taste of curry which was one of my first K drama watches and amazed me because the OST included Malaika, a Swahili song. I really want to know how it came to be included.

The man’s voice is a 2 part drama which I thought was really funny because it captured the attitude of a cat so perfectly.

Hope For Love (2 episodes, Choi Daniel, Im Shi Wan)
Kiss Goblin (Bae In Hyuk! web drama)
Page Turner (because it introduced me to Shin Jae Ha)

“Two Lights: Relúmĭno“ starring Han Ji Min and Park Hyung Sik

My favourite short drama is by far Scripting Your Destiny. It hits very well emotionally for me and is a regular rewatch.

Every short-form drama seems like a good enough drama to recommend to someone. So here I am recommending all of them (except, forgive me Soundtrack#1 🥱). What can you possibly not like about these tiny bundle of joys? They help a lot during drama slumps! However, Eun-joo's Room, if it can indeed be put in this category is a standout drama for me. It will always be in my top 3 overall, and besides how relatable the heroine is, what's good is you can finish it in 6 hours!

If you don't even have that much time try this https://youtu.be/JjgNT-BF30A

Another short sweetie I watched recently is Her Bucket List.

And... I know keep repeating all these recommendations like a drum that keeps beating itself 🥁😬 but... Have a Nice Dessert / Drunk in Good Taste is definitely sweet!

And a big yes to Page Turner, You Drive Me Crazy!

And... Lee Joon-hyuk fans please listen to The Naked Fireman recommendation. Both his character, and the story is very brave!

Some dramas sorely missing are the multiple BL’a that are highly quality produced and acting that is superior than most web dramas.

My favorites here are To My Star 1 and 2.

My Fantastic Funeral
https://mydramalist.com/15547-my-fantastic-funeral

Love For a Thousand More (2016) is another short drama worth watching. Especially for the modern hanboks.

I must admit I have not watched too many but my favorite in the list is:
1) Soundtrack #1 - There something about this melow, beautifully paced simple love story that makes you as warm and cuddly as the scarf Seon Wo keep tying around Eun-So. Completely missing many of the K-drama tropes, this has been my comfort watch many a weekends. Plus point is it's dubbed in English so sometimes I watch it when working, sipping my hot Chamomile tea.
2) Splash splash love: Like others, I loved it.-The chemistry was so cool (though the King did not really look or act much like a King lol!) This was my first Seguek. The ending was quite thought provoking - how the King and the Queen are reborn as common people while the musician has found success, at least that's how I saw it.I have always felt Mr Queen was inspired by this.

I’ve seen only a handful of these, so I won’t weigh in on my favorite without a larger pool to choose from. I’ve added a bunch of shows to my list based on all the comments. I just watched the trailer for Seven First Kisses—I expect it will make my list of Bad Things I Love!

I’ve keep meaning to watch Boar Hunt, which seems to be highly regarded. Also Fanletter, Please and Anna.

What’s Wrong With My Mother in Law, best thing ever.

A Jaunt
KBS drama; poignant & well-acted!

I really love those one/two episodes dramas on KBS, but I can't for the life of me think of one of their names.

My favorite short-from drama is You Drive Me Crazy. The set-up, the characters, the house! BokGo yah! 🥹

My favorite web drama hmm.... For some reason, XX keeps coming to mind. Simple story, funny stuff, relatable characters, some to think about.
