Hi! I’m looking for a new drama—something grand and romantic with REALLY good otp chemistry…smthg like My Love from the Star, Descendants, Queen In Hyun’s Man, etc… Any ideas? <3
Princess’s Man. I don’t watch a lot of epic romances so I am running out of ideas. The Best Love, Jealousy Incarnate, and Oh My Ghostess had really good OTP chemistry but are rom coms.
thanks for recommending Another Oh Hae Young! I had heard good things, but it never really seemed like something I’d like–but I gave it a try AND LOVED IT. the otp chemistry is sooo great—and so are all the secondary characters!
Goong, Coffee prince are classics! And super hot chemistry!
Secret Garden is another one. So is The King 2 Hearts.
I watched Goblin for the Bromance and the humor…..I didn’t buy the OTP at all. For me everything else in the drama worked except for the OTP and their story. Compared tot he rest of story and where they were going, the one of opt fell short. But definitely give it a try…the bromance is so strong that it makes up for everything this drama is not and more!!!
Another Oh Hae Young is on another level, give it a try if you haven’t already!!
thanks for the insight on goblin. very helpful. as to your other recs: i’ve seen (and lovelovelove) some of those, but not “another oh hae young”– i like that actress a lot after “romantic doctor teacher kim” so i’ll definitely put it on my list! thank you 😁
just watched another oh hae young, thanks to you and ally (above). LOVED IT!! the OTP chemistry and the side characters were all so excellent. thanks so much for the recommendation 😀
I guess I disagree about Goblin. I liked the OTPs there. There are actually two OTPs, Goblin and Eun Tak, Reaper and Sunny. Some people preferred the latter, others the former. For me, both were grand, sweeping, loves that span multiple lifetimes. Still my favorite drama ever because of how well everything from the acting, music, cinematography, and writing just melded into a masterpiece. I was just so taken to another dimension when watching it. I still find myself rewatching the scenes with Goblin and Eun Tak now because their love was so sweet. Sure, it may not be the blood boiling passion of some OTPs, but it’s still love–quiet and supportive. Try it, I don’t think you’ll regret it.
thanks for this explanation! i’ve heard so many good thing about goblin—it seems like it’s one for the books! but i’m kinda creeped out by the premise—angel of death, creepy curse, goblin, etc. i’m totally sure i’m missing out but i’m super wary too. idk.
It’s not creepy at all! Just all the feels! And Goblin in Korean culture is not the same as western. Think of them as more like a leprechaun. And grim reaper doesn’t actually kill anyone, he’s just the messenger, guiding people to the afterlife. Ahh, he’s so beautiful too!

Does Princess’s Man have a tragic ending? I’ve heard it was such a good show, but I thought I also heard it has a sad ending, so I’ve avoided it.

Another oh Hae young has great OTP chemistry.
My love Eun dong, I wished the final otp got together a long time before they actually did.

It IS great!!! My catnip is OTP chemistry. And the supporting cast is also amazing. Everyone has a place in the drama and adds so much to the story!
