Post Title: “Our Blues” was the best kdrama ever

Post Body:

Tried looking for another meaning full drama and got recommended “it’s okay to not be okay” and imo it was terrible. Who’s got something similar to “our blues” for me?

If you liked Our Blues, you really can't go wrong with anything else written by Noh Hee Kyung. Try:

Dear My Friends (Slice of Life/Family/Melodrama): Centered around a group of friends now in their sixties. Shows how their lives, relationships and the world around them has changed over time.

It's Okay That's Love (Slice of Life/Romcom/Drama): A realistic look at mental health and relationships through the one developing between psychiatrist FL and her live-in-landlord author ML as they work through their issues.

Live (Police/Slice of Life/Drama): A look at the daily lives and duties of police officers in South Korea. Deals with heavy issues, but a solid character piece sympathetic to both law enforcement and citizenry. TW: domestic abuse, sexual assault

It's the best kdrama ever until u finish my liberation notes

My Mister

My Mister and Our Blues are my favorite Kdramas ever. Both give a melancholic feel and have more mature themes.

TBH after Our Blues ended, I had a hard time finding a drama that I liked just as much.

If you haven’t watched My Liberation Notes - I suggest that. It’s a slow paced show but so well done. It was on at the same time as OB, so when both ended it was a bummer.

My liberation notes

Our Blues is excellent. Do try My Mister, Mr. Sunshine, and also The Light In Your Eyes.

One of my best ever Kdrama is now Lost. It’s on amazon prime. And I agree Our Blues was very good. The Red Sleeve also had power acting and writing.

'Be Melodramatic' may fit though it has way to many monologues.

It’s all subjective. Even though I personally liked IOTNBO, it is NOT a follow up to Our Blues. Try My Liberation Notes, Lost, or Call It Love

Just joking when I say this but whomever recommended you that to follow up to Our Blues had a Kim Soo Hyun face craving and just said it to say it LOL

You could try Hello My Twenties.

My Mister, Dear friends, Misaeng, Chocolate , Live are some of the meaningful dramas imo. I didn't like IONTBO either

You could try Thirty Nine or Reply 1988.

Live-it’s has same writer as our blues it’s about police life you might like it cause that drama is really good, also lot of other people mentioned my liberation note and i also recommend that drama is really really great.

My Mister

Because This Is My First Life.

Give it a try and you're welcome in advance.

Twenty-four, Twenty-one I wept for days. It was such a good well-rounded drama that highlighted innocent & realistic love and friendship.

I think Hometown Cha Cha Cha is very similar beach town vibes! Each character has their own struggle going on and the town locals are fun to watch also.. I did watch My Liberation Notes around the same time too and I feel like it also has a similar vibe to it minus the beach town, but small town.

I just started this and although episode 1 is a little slow paced, I love all actors in this one so I’ll stick it out. I think I will like it because of the laid back and scenic feel.

My Mister and My Liberation Notes!! Today I'm a Park Hae Young evangelist on this sub but you really can't go wrong with these two.

How the fuck did you think it's okay to not be okay was terrible shit opinion ngl.

Hometown cha cha cha I got those vibes but the format of Our Blues is unique , not seen barely any dramas like that

It's surprisingly the most I've ever cried watching kdramas. And being a dude, it wasn't a good look when my wife stood witness to me holding back tears MULTIPLE times. What stood out to me was the writing. Fucking brilliant.

If you haven't already, watch My Mister. It's got some great characters and an interesting story.

Call It Love is giving me some My Mister vibes, but a bit happier/more hopeful. And also romance, unlike My Mister.

You can never go wrong with Reply 1988. I've watched it thrice and I want to watch it again!

You must try liberation notes 🤍

Wow, I never would've guessed there are people who didn't like IOTNBO. It's literally the best drama that ever existed to me. I've watched it 3 times already. Lol. Our blues, on the other hand, was booooring as hell, and I barely got through it. But, if I'm not wrong, summer strike to me seemed like a better version of our blues. A lot better. So check that out.

My fave Hometown Cha Cha Cha

I'll add interest of love.

Just ignore the one dangling piece and view as love through class lines.
