The order is not important, they are placed randomly!!! by the order i remembered them.
and now I add them as i see new ones. so they add below.
-
1. Just Between Lovers
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
This is really really amazing drama, with lots of good messages. It teaches viewers so many things. All Kang Doo's words. All Moon Soo's Words. Just all the subjects this drama is exploring everything's amazing! truly a masterpiece
one of them
a squirrel takes two acorns. one he eats one buriers to eat in winter. But hen forgets and doesn't eat. what a waste... but that being a waste for a moment, the acorn gives roots, becomes a tree and the tree becomes a forest. what a thankful thing.
life is full of regrets and failures - then whats the point of living? - to make better (cooler) regrets and failors. so dont be a scardy-cat
hurt and paint is always with the living, you cant get away from it, so the only way is to just accept it - but ist unfair - but instead you need to live a better, happier life to make up for it.
be happy with all your might!
huh? she lived long so it's okay for her to die? is there a good death in this world?!
who needs an advice about life from others. Stop thinking that you can't live life like others. Who cares. just live like you want!
I walk with 100kg weight everyday! when i take them off i feel like flying :D - wouldn't it be better to walk without them and feel like flying always? - heh you don't know! you should feel the weight to be able to fly!
My poor children sadness is your strength. Suffering, resentment and regrets, are your strengths. with those strengths, please somehow survive this ugly and scary life. (budi)
there is no paradise at the places when you run away. when you reach the place, as expecting it's a battlefield. -

Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
The way he became a person. some deep words are said there
-
21. Circle
Korean Drama - 2017, 12 episodes

26. Are You Human Too?
Korean Drama - 2018, 36 episodes
This drama had a good message for me. firstly because i don't like robot dramas as they all end in tragedy. second american robot movies show many apocalyptic themes with robots attacking people. This one showed how a person can make a super mega kind robot and that robot can be better than most humans not in terms of abilities like power, or brain but rather in terms of humanity in him, the values and traits he possessed.
-
27. Mr. Sunshine
Korean Drama - 2018, 24 episodes
History always has a lot to teach, say, and show. This drama was not only beautiful but also very meaningful! there was a lot about races, about friendship between people who are different from birth, even with countries of birth, or where they grew up. friendship above anything else. Important things that make people join hands with each other. historical aspects! how there are a lot of things that we don't know, or know the owner of, but don't give it special meaning, without knowing the deep stories they hold. .. And a lot more! I also really liked the relationship between main leads full of respect towards each other.
----there is a SPOILER going below. don't read it. this is just for me to remember what i liked about this drama. also for those who watched it already. or for those who actually read it and like it. lol SPOILER below. ----
Their feeling were no sexual, it was love, so there weren't any sensual touches, feelings and kisses. It was so pure, and full of respect. I loved it a lot! same with the relationship of Hina and Gu Dong Mae. -
28. SKY Castle
Korean Drama - 2018, 20 episodes
such a strong message about education.... all the moms being obsessed with their kids education, so making themselves and kids crazy. and in the end they realize how that is all just a shell, and start to search for themselves, who are they and what they want. amazing!!!
-
29. Pied Piper
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
- We are all frogs inside a boiling pot but it boils so slow that frogs don't notice it at all and die. and the piper is trying to wake the frogs up!
- not telling generally to people to move but telling exactly who who to move where.
- save 1 person or 4
- the last scenes with the plane! telling everyone their own gps locations. the sacrifice. They can't find the answer because they are not ready to sacrifice themselves.
- the piper lives again in seung chan.
- The evil doesn't grow on blood, It grows in silence. When you closed you eyes and ears even after knowing the truth, the evil only strengthens.
- only the one who doesn't have power, can forgive
so many amazing messages in this drama about truth about hiding that truth, about sacrifice and most of all about communication!!! the negotiation team was great!
-
30. Search: WWW
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
I liked the powerful women and a good company.
This comment contains spoilers.
Some quotes and situations i liked and remembered:- What can you do, the world is like that. But also as an adult who had played a part to make this world like this, I apologize to you.
- The director (Brian) of the company told bad things to the female lead (Tammy) taking her rights away. But while doing so he also called the 2nd female lead (Scarlet). After the situation was resolved Tammy asked Brian why did he call Scarlet too, did he know that she will help her smash the bad guys car. He answered that he is not a God and didn't know such a thing. But in that situation Scarlet, that he knows, would have definitely taken Tammy's side. As it was a situation were he, the director was taking away Tammy's rights and showing his power over her, he wanted that someone would be there that would take her side and remind her that she is the one who is right and fight the director a bit.
- Notebook and a pen - present for graduating the elementary school, for you to become a person who can say his thoughts with beautiful words. For middle school - sneakers - so you can walk straightly even on the hard roads. For graduating high school - a watch - for you to become a person who cherishes his time and uses it carefully.

32. Hotel del Luna
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
About ghosts and the after life.

How the revenge cannot be so fulfilling. -
33. Designated Survivor: 60 Days
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes

34. Arthdal Chronicles Part 1: The Children of Prophecy
Korean Drama - 2019, 6 episodes
made me look up Korean mythology about how the world was created, which this is based on. It's very interesting!!
Interesting how civilization works. How people who have never learned start to learn in a painful way.
Bronze!
Names have power -
35. Arthdal Chronicles Part 2: The Sky Turning Inside Out, Rising Land
Korean Drama - 2019, 6 episodes
How children are becoming thirsty for power. (Tagon and Taealha)
their story was really nice and made me cheer for them.
How one word one action can throw you into the pit of despair and only you, your willpower can pull you out, or someone else's one word or action. -
36. Arthdal Chronicles Part 3: The Prelude To All Legends
Korean Drama - 2019, 6 episodes
The process of becoming king!
I think this even maybe how Korea became kingdom like jeoson. Or even before that, the 3 kingdoms. How a person's good will turned into tyranny in one night. And people were made to bow to the ground to the king. How king became the one who has to have everything.
How you should't mess with woman. Tealha didn't let her be played.
How a person becomes hero. How one good deed brings 10000 good deeds in return.
How they started to wonder, what if we use iron and not bronze!
How the seed of revenge appears in good people just because of some action.
How the curse turns into reality.
How Tanya captures people's hearts! so smart
-
37. Extraordinary You
Korean Drama - 2019, 32 episodes
That we act like it is written, karma and stuff, our characters our behavior and stuff, and can't get away from it until we get self-awareness and it will still be hard and all but still. and how we get separated and secluded from the other people who are not yet aware.
-
38. When the Camellia Blooms
Korean Drama - 2019, 40 episodes
power of numbers, power of community haha good they showed the bad sides of it, and then the good sides :) really warm power of miracles made by good people, who like Yong-shik said outnumber bad people.
my art teacher long time also also said it :) that 90% of the world are good people so they are more than the bad ones. Haha I like to believe it though for myself I always thought that 90 of people are something in the middle and can get either bad of good. idk :) Anyway this was a kind drama about mothers, about power, about kindness, about friends and relatives. -
39. La faune d'Itaewon
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
This drama has a great message to youth, about chasing dreams, about being strong, about achieving what they want. and most of all about keeping a great character full of great virtues. Park Se Ro Yi's character is indeed a great example! and also other characters show a lot of strength too. I also like how they show strong females here and not dependent on man! I love how yi so can take care of herself.
"So what if i'm a high school drop out, have a criminal record and an orphan! i can still do what i want! Don't decide my worth for me!"
DEFENCE! -
40. Nobody Knows

52. Castaway Diva
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
This had so many great messeges about not going after questions without answers and instead doing what is right, right now. like not regretting the big stage you are not standing on, but standing on the smaller stage which is better than not doing it at all.
that if you wish for something it will come true one day in a most unexpected way.
The values of Loaylty. maaan, that boy he was just amazing! he not only saved her but he was looking for her for 15 years never lsoing hope always always doing it all! T_T his brother! he was amazing too! tsundere type who turned into the most honest person T_T realising that there are some things that you need to tell because otherwise the other one will never know.
Their new father. FATHER. he was the best T_T such a great father and mother T_T they were the best! the old father was scary but it was intresting to see him being all cramped in his own beliefs that were wrong and unable to see past them, in the end he spent his life for nothing and in the complete wrong. I love how the family was able to heal thanks to the new father. <3
yoon ranju XD well at first i didn't like her but i loved her healing story thanks to mokha.
and of course mokha. being the shonen/shojo manga protagonist, the Dreams, I can Do it, Nothing is impossible and simling all the way type she completely changed the people around her and in the company. And it was all just kind honesty.
while many people were blinded by jealousy, hate, greed, pain she was so open that it could open others too.
their running away as kids.
them unable to do anything because certain laws didn't exist in their time. -

54. Twinkling Watermelon
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
This was the most beautiful drama about youth, about overcoming difficulties about undertanding each other, about having conversations, and about parents and children.
Like Yi Chan said if there is a heart, if there are feeling you want to express to someone, you will do anything to do it, with your expressions, or even learning a different language. Like his grandmother became friends with Chung Ha right away, while her father couldn't do it for years.
About the life of parents, and the understanding it brought of each other. About beauty, about passion and just about twinkling life!! panchak panchak <3
Absolutely beautiful! -
55. Model Taxi 2
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

-
57. My Dearest Part 2
Korean Drama - 2023, 11 episodes
true love. Everything west is trying to sell, like strong female lead and gentle man. But in a very right way and not distorted.
“Then I should give you a hug” - the most warm phrase ever said to comfort someone. Especially in this context.
how old beliefs worked, and shaped the world. How wrong beliefs were in the wrong place. How right beliefs were mixed with the wrong ones.
how an incompetent ruler brings “collective suffering”.
“오랑캐한테 욕을 당한 건 제 잘못은 아닙니다. 그 일로 이혼을 요구하셨다면 저는 끝까지 물러나지 않았을 겁니다. 하지만.. 심양에서 이장현 나리께 마음을 준 일은 미안합니다. 해서 이혼하는 겁니다“
“난 그저 부인으로 족합니다. 가난한 길채, 돈 많은 길채, 발칙한 길채, 유순한 길채, 날 사랑하지 않는 길채, 날 사랑하는 길채. 그 무엇이든 난 길채면 돼.
(좋아요. 허면 오랑캐에게 욕을 당한 길채는…)
안아줘야지. 괴로웠을 테니.
많이 아팠지. 많이 힘들었지. 다 끝났소. 이제 아무 걱정하지 말아요. 난 이제 당신 곁에 있을 거야. 당신이 날 밀어내도 난 여기. 당신이 내게 싫증을 내도 난 여기 있겠소.”
“~(can you replace one, he says he just can’t look) of course I can replace him, what’s so hard about it, just because I don’t look, the captives won’t suddenly not get tortured. ”
“The humiliation of those people means that they should choose death, but humiliation of the kind is just “sadness”? Those people don’t choose death because they want to live, if they survive just one more day, they will be the winners of yesterdays pain” -
58. My Dearest
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
True love. How unprepared people go to war, how an incompetent king makes people suffer. 들리느냐? 이 소리 꽃소리…분꽃이 피는소리…“
”'내가 미웠던 적이 있으시오?' 하고 물으니 답하셨지요? '그대가 나를 영영 떠나던 날 죽도록 미워 한참을 보았네. 헌데 아무리 보아도 미운 마음이 들지 않아 외려 내가 미웠어' 그리곤 제게 물으셨지요. '야속한 사람, 내 마음을 짐작이나 하였소?' 이제 말하건대. 차마 짐작치 못했습니다. 그저 내 마음이 천 갈래, 만 갈래 부서져 님만은 나 같지 마시라 간절히 바랄 뿐.“ -
59. Jour Et Nuit
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
This is mostly not about message, but about deep meaning.
The sun is shining brightly, and the clock that can not be wrong shows 12. And i start to wonder, Is it day or is it night?
also main reason that the ml kid in the village made all those people confuse reality and dream thinking that if they thought they are dreaming that one of the adults will actually help the kids. But sadly deep inside their hearts was mostly hatred towards themselves, rage towards others, blame, all that coming out they started killing themselves and each other while being happy and no one thought to help the kids... now is he the killer? is he evil? or are those people evil and killers? it is such a fine line here. and even though i hate grey things, this was making one think a lot.
The other part was how that 4th kid said ml should respect his choices but the ml said that "respect? a person who can't even see what's right or wrong, what respect?" I see meaning here as our world now goes on about respect towards all the weirdness but shows no basic respect towards a living being. The ML here was showing respect towards living beings but showed no respect towards their choices. I liked it a lot.
Mostly also this has a meaning because our world also will surly have such experiments... -

62. Bad Mother
Korean Drama - 2023, 14 episodes
The start was strange, the end was sad, rather bittersweet. But it contained important messages. How both mom and the son will not hide their feelings behind the cold mask. should not. The letter she wrote him in the end, contained that message. and this one has so much meaning for mothers. I especially liked when she talked about lessons she learned every time she faced hardships, about precious things she saw when she fell.
Pigs are very clean animals, and very sad. Because they look at the ground their whole life. they can't turn their head. And the only way for them to see the sky is to fall. When they fall a whole new world opens before them, which they had no idea existed. People too, sometimes they have to fall to see a different world.
