I still have a week left of my total quarantine before I go back to work, and I thought I’d ask Beanies for some recommendations.
During this turbulent time I’ve found myself especially drawn to dramas that calm and comfort, that relish in subtle, nuanced moments rather than sweeping dramatics. Se-hee and Ji-ho’s serene natures (and Kitty!) in Because This Life is Our First accompanied me on my journey back to the US, and the simple warmth of When the Weather is Fine is helping me get through my quarantine. Does anyone have any recommendations for dramas that give similar feelings?
Thank you! Here’s a gif of my favorite weirdo as a token of my appreciation.

I havent watched it so it is not really a rec, but maybe Live? I keep meaning to watch it. When Beanies bring it up it just sounds so good.

I’ve heard great things about Live but also know that it isn’t exactly light! Lol. It’s on my list, though!

Live is amazing! But it does get pretty heavy. How about Matrimonial Chaos, A Poem a Day, The Package or a short drama like You Drive Me Crazy?

I’ve seen APAD but none of the others, although they’ve been on my radar! Thanks for the recs!

Prison Playbook isn’t romantic, but it’s super feelgood

Try Kimchi Family or a family drama – Life is Beautiful. Claiming and absolutely beautiful dramas for this turbulent time.
