[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I watched Crash Landing at the beginning of the pandemic and loved loved it. Since then, I've started MANY K (and other asian) dramas. The only other one I even finished was Itaewon Class.  Everything else I had to stop watching as [b]too silly, too young, too tough or mean guy/weak girl, too mismatched couple, [/b]etc etc. I'm about to give up.  [/quote]

List what you've started and given up on. I also started with CLOY, and have now watched about 12 dramas. I've really liked or loved almost all of them. I think there are a lot like the ones you've bolded. I've had good luck with the "slice of life" genre and sageuks (historical dramas) and avoid dramas with really young leads.

Descendants of the Sun was really hilarious and light but not silly. It's a romance. You have to suspend disbelief for some of the medical stuff, but it's worth it as the human relationships are authentic.
Chicago Typewriter is charming. It doesn't have the depth of CLOY, but it's a good story with cool historical flashbacks to 1930s Japanese occupation of Korea. The sets and clothing are fantastic. Also a romance.
Prison Playbook and Hospital Playlist are slice of life and so, so, terrific. Created by the same writer/director team. (They also did the celebrated Reply series.) I can't say enough good things about them. Funny and moving and wonderful.
My Country: The New Age is a wonderful sageuk that takes place at the start of the Joseon dynasty. The central relationship is between two boyhood friends of different social status, and it's fabulous. There is a lot of swordplay and political intrigue and some romance. 
Mr. Sunshine is epic and beautiful. Really beautiful. A great story that takes place at the start of the Japanese occupation. The characters are complex and interesting.

At first, everything seems like a let-down after CLOY, but it's worth giving other dramas a chance. I've found that it often takes a few episodes before I get invested in the characters and the story, then I start to really get interested, a third or halfway in I binge to the end, then can't get them out of my head once I've finished.
