I've got Netflix and Prime.
I loved Crash Landing on You. I then watched Chicago Typewriter, which I liked. I just finished Mr. Sunshine, which, I loved because I got to learn Korean history, but it was just so gloomy and all the sadness was so drawn out, I felt almost like I was watching some weird kind of fetish--like a show for an audience who fetishize the suffering of others. So anyways, I do love to learn about history, but I'll take any good K-drama. What should I watch next? |

I think Crash Landing will be hard to top - and Hyun Bin. The other shows he’s in don’t sound as interesting. |

Crash Landing on You has been described as the gateway to Kdrama - and I'm guilty of that.
In terms of Netflix, Vincenzo is the best one - but you have to go with the humour for a few episodes, then it really grows on you. I think it maybe better if you have watched more kdramas. The acting, full cast talent, social commentary, western historical / cultural references (past first episode), and writing are amazing. You can get the Viki app and watch a lot for free, or pay minimal for a month or so than cancel I would put Healer as great one - though a little older. The premise at first seems odd, but really works Recent good ones are Doom at your service, My roommate is a Gumiho (lighter , but great characters) A lot of people really like Guardian - The Lonely and the Great, though it has a slightly unusual age difference that if you get past bc its "Gods" Mr Queen - is historical with a modern edge, interesting premise very entertaining, some mixed on how it evolved Sunghyunkwan Scandal - fun / com historical, older but lot of good actors Hotel del Luna - was interesting fantasy, well produced visuals - small elements of past, same with Legends of the Blue Sea and good leads Some others that are good on Netflix Hospital Playlist - ensemble cast , really well done It's ok not to be okay - this is a love or hate Touch my Heart - light but enjoyable Her Private Life - again, lighter some bits unusual (the fangirl), but good relationship, though some are mixed on some of the subplots at end Prison Playbook, Reply series are on my list - gets good reviews Rookie Historian - is "historical", but light 100 days my prince - historical, was good, not heavy Really wanted to like Iaetwon Class - but midway, just didn't like it |

| Memories of the Alhambra was my gateway, Crash landing was like the 7th kdrama I watched. For the feel of light, interesting and fun like Crash landing, the closest that comes to mind is: 100 days my prince |

| Another one on Netflix that I loved was Reply 1988. It takes a few episodes to immerse yourself and get to know the characters, but it's so worth it. |

With the caveat that nothing is like CLOY. . .
Navillera-- not a romance, but so so good Healer-- my favorite romance, aside from CLOY Youth of May-- recent (80s) history, starts out light, romantic, funny but becomes heavy in the second half (in a good way) Prison Playbook-- fantastic drama with a lot of humor, wonderful characters |
