Can anyone recommend me a cute pick me up drama with minimal angst? Prolly a Jdrama or Cdrama because I’m pretty sure I’ve exhausted the list for Kdramas lol
I’ve already watched it, one of three cdramas I’ve watched (other being Nirvana in fire and Love me if you dare). Really fluff, I’m looking for something similar. Thanks for the suggestion tho.
then I am also watching the remake of You are my pet (japanese). It has so much cuteness, skinship and cuddling even if the heroine cries a lot but it is not angst, really. 99% of the characters are such good people or will become good people that it feels like no evil exists in that world except for one sleezy bastard, but he fades out into oblivion. I just wish they´d explored some side characters more, becuase they were so unique and strong.
I have, and absolutely loved their chemistry (by which I mean proper kisses). I wish I had more Ha Seok Jin in dramas. I probably have watched every kdrama ever, but don’t take my word for it.
I really don’t know, I haven’t watched many CDramas really. Which ones would you suggest?
Love O2O is the only one I ever end up suggesting. TBH, I haven’t watched more than a handful of straight (heterosexual) C-Dramas, so my word of caution may have been without merit. Then again, the BL side isn’t much better. Maybe there might be better C-Dramas out there and I just haven’t seen them yet. If ever you find one, do let me know though. I’m always on the lookout. BTW, if you don’t mind a Taiwanese drama, I just finished When I See You Again. It’s a guilty pleasure tbh, but it has just the right mix of cute and angst.
Oh, ok. I think I liked that one. I thought there was some angst though–that seemed more angst because it straight up made not one single iota of sense to me.
@isthatacorner yeah, there are some scenes like that, hence the whole guilty pleasure part. I don’t know. I think I liked Jasper Liu’s character too much. Lord knows I didn’t like the female lead really. Or maybe it was just Jasper. Jezze, and here I was looking down on Kento Yamazaki fangirls.
My Mr. Mermaid was cute. My Amazing Boyfriend (similar to You Who Came from the Stars, thought I didn’t see it). My Little Princess. When a Snail Falls in Love is cute, same author as Love Me If You Dare. C-drama.
Bride of the Century wasn’t angsty in the romance, though they did have some pretty big obstacles. k-drama
My Little Lover. J-dorama
Scary? I felt the ghost was pretty non threatening there.
On a diff note, I was mindbloen to find out that the idol sibling of Hong Ki in the the drama was played by Jung Hae In. Our Batman police from While You were Sleeping and Captain Yoo from Wise Prison life. He looso different!! Did anyone else notice?

Have you seen 1% of Something (2016)? There is a slight bit of angst in there, but overall cute.

By the way, I would be careful with modern C-Romance Dramas. They tend to go off the rails, badly so.

I couldn’t finish Boss & Me coz of female lead’s eyebrows. Something about it really bothered me. LOL

I don’t think I have. I’ll check it out (but I already know half of my head will be focused on her eyebrows no matter how they are).

Love the couple though! 😀
