I have to agree with the bro lol. Iris is a classic among classic series I've ever watched all time. I'd put it up there with The Wire, & Gomorra

Yea Vagabond was dope but it’s not touching IRIS

SO after making fun of my wife for 2 years......for watching all this Korean shyt all the time....

I need more piffery fellas

shyt hits way different from Western joints.

Vincenzo (crime/comedy/drama)
Uncanny Counter (action/superhero drama)
Hot Stove League (sports/drama)
Mad for Each Other (romcom/drama/crime)

If you're into darker stuff, My Name (undercover cop drama) and Hellbound (thriller/monster/supernatural) is out next month on Netflix. I believe the remake for HBO's The Night of is also out next month

Ju Dan Tae likes that kinky shyt, wait til you see what's back there

 

[Monsanto]

For anyone coming from Squid Game, make not of the fact that most series are 16 episodes. With that comes the writers finishing the show often by episode 12-14 and having to make things up for the last few episodes.

I know that's how some felt about Law School, characterization held it together in my opinion.

Repped.
My man came through.
Challenge accepted.

 

[tofuspeedstar]

Also a few of the ~iconic~ series nearly every K drama stan has seen at some point:

Rooftop Prince
Boys Over Flowers
Goblin
What's Wrong With Secretary Kim
My Mister
Kill Me, Heal Me


Also totally forgot Hospital Playlist--It's excellent. Season 2 just wrapped up. So it's all available to binge on Netflix.

You'll probably find actors/actresses you like as you progress and may find yourself curious to see what else they've been in. That's how I went down this rabbit hole.

You can watch up to episode 6 if you're not a lawyer...



I've got quite the list as well. Gonna need more heartbreaking shows to watch, everything else is uncivilized.

Them drill sergeants are a$$holes man

Big facts

That was the problem for me LOL. I'm a lawyer so take my opinion with a grain of salt. The cast was fantastic but I thought the characters developed pretty poorly.
