Tofu Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 @Darkarcana - I'll need some time to think about this because most of the time the rich kid in dramas are spoiled and wouldn't stand up for anyone else. Haha! Also, agreed with @abs-oluteM that it sounds super makjang. I'm going to tag @stroppyse again because I know she watches dailies and weekend dramas. She might know a few to recommend. @NiteWalker - Why yes, I remembered Toey not doing well with crying scenes too. I'm glad to hear she has improved! I haven't watched a Thai lakorn in soooo long. I wouldn't know where to start anymore. 6 1 Link to comment

Okay got the names 😂 I'm not familiar with k-dramas. But if you don't mind trying HK dramas, this series was one of the last good ones before all the actors and writers disappeared from HK. Critically acclaimed and commercially successful. HK's top actors. It's about family and how the mum tries to protect all her children and family. There's scheming by family members and relatives/friends. Watching the baddies become good or get their comeuppance was so fulfilling. The best part was this was one of the few productions which used the ensemble reveal technique - every few episodes, there will be a like a family gathering/shouting match where the mother will reveal the plots of the baddies - so good! 1. Heart of Greed 2. Moonlight Resonance (sequel of sorts) Edited January 4, 2021 by Chocolate 5 3 1 Link to comment

If it's the former... you've come to the wrong person... My apologies. I have a strong aversion to these sorts of dramas. I break out into hives just thinking about these. But years ago I did watch my first and only 50 something episode makjang called Jang Bo Ri is Here. It fits most of your criteria. I only watched it for Kim Ji-hoon. But it's classic makjang. It had everything in it including amnesia, mistaken identity and kidnapping. The things people get up to in this beggars belief. Actually, I tell a lie... there is a very good makjang that runs pretty close to what you've asked for... It's the wonderful Money Flower. Still on Netflix last I looked. It's pretty good actually. Stars my favourites Jang Hyuk and Jang Seung-jo.

Darkarcana Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I eventually burnt through this series called Untouchable (said it many times this series lol) this story embodies all the pointers I have given...Could this be of help to round up dramas that are similar to that(?) haha Synopsis Spoiler Joon Seo’s life felt like hell before Min Joo came to him. She became his happiness and meaning of life, but now she is dead. Drowning in unbearable sadness, he veers towards taking his own life. At that moment, a woman comes looking for him. She claims that she is the real Min Joo Jo. Joon Seo finds out that the name, job, identity and everything about his deceased wife were not true. She had approached Joon Seo intentionally under a fake mask and even faked her love. Joon Seo embarks on a quest to find out the truth about his wife’s identity and death. On his path, he finds out that there is a big dark secret in the form of his brother, Ki Seo Jang, and his father, Bum-ho Jang, who is the real power behind Bukcheon city. The Jang family has taken over Bukcheon, and the land is a witness of their foul history. Only one person can stop the continuous evil acts, and that is Joon Seo Jang himself, with the blood of the Jang running through his veins. They are his family. Therefore, he must punish them but forgive them at the same time. What would his decision be when that time arrives? (Source: JTBC) 6 1 💉🌼🔪🌼💉 “A romantic who likes flowers.” Link to comment

SilverMoonTea Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 @Darkarcana *Lies of Lies *Goddess of Revenge *What Happens to my Family (got Seo Kang Joon - he's chaebol 2nd generation here) Can't think much from this genre. Generally I avoid this type of makjang drama 😅 Why you want to torture yourself in new year sushi? 🤣 @ChocolateHush still no romance right?
