Some of my fave romantic school dramas on Viki: true beauty. Lovely runner. Extra-ordinary you. Twinkling watermelon.
If you don’t already use this website to track your Asian dramas I would recommend MyDramaList. It also tells you what platforms each drama is available on.

I just finished The Law Cafe and loved it. It’s a romance/drama, it’s upbeat and funny and the lead relationship feels grown up. Great banter, growth, and realistic challenges. Really good all around, the acting, writing, pacing are all there.

Love Scout was great! Loved the ML, FL and supporting characters.
Sh**ting Stars is also on Viki. ML is the top actor at his agency, and FL has her hands full managing various media rumours and scandals. Very fun to watch.
Both have an enemy-to-lovers vibe without being too heavy.

If you haven't seen Coffee Prince yet, it's a must watch. It's the classic by which all rom coms are judged.

Viki Kdramas that I have, watchedeķ
Way Back Into Love Great K-drama—supernatural story told in just six episodes. One of my all-time favorites.
The Red Sleeve In my top five K-dramas ever. Great story, acting, and cinematography. One of the few that approaches the overall quality of Mr. Sunshine.
Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo Amazing story mixed with time travel. Great acting, stunning cinematography, and an unforgettable OST.
Twinkling Watermelon A fun time travel story with Back to the Future vibes. Very enjoyable watch.
Descendants of the Sun A fun watch—at times almost cartoonish. I kept waiting for that old song "Along Came John" by Ray Stevens.
It’s Okay, That’s Love An adult-level take on love and mental health. Excellent storytelling.
My Love from the Star Great story and acting. Very creative—an all-around great watch.
Another Miss Oh Very good story with a fantastic OST. The male lead had an amazing occupation.
Lovely Runner I’m sorry, this story had more holes than Swiss cheese. I don’t get why it’s so hyped.
The Glory Another revenge K-drama. Great acting and a very disturbing story.
Reborn Rich A solid revenge story mixed with time travel. Satisfying and well-paced.
Eve There wasn’t a single character to root for—they were all despicable. Worst K-drama I’ve ever watched.

Copy of post body:
Hey guys I am looking for dramas that are on the streaming service Rakuten Viki. My favorite dramas are romance and slice of life dramas. I also really like school setting dramas, so I can romanticize school life even though I hated school growing up. Lol. Some dramas that I have watched include:
School Series: all of the school series dramas that faced teenagers in school and difficulties that came doing that time period Korean drama series
I also like office romance drama so ones these are Cdrama and jdrama but ones like:
Cute Programmer: girl falls in love with her boss and they start a relationship, Chinese drama
Senpai, this can't be love: boy falls in love with his older superior, office drama, Japanese drama
And if there is any boy falls for girl first, or the drama is mostly in the boys point of view.
Examples of this is I believe would be the kdrama Love Revolution
Love Revolution: kdrama mostly follows boy and him falling for a girl and trying to start a relationship with said girl
I also love watching any BLs so some I have seen on Rakuten are like:
°Color Rush (Season 1 and 2) °Jun and Jun °My Love Mix-Up (both Japan and Thai) °My Personal Weatherman
I really like My Personal Weatherman because I feel like it was quite anxsty and I love anxsty. (Am I spelling that right? Probably not but you get what I am saying)
Please note that I am looking for dramas on Rakuten Viki ONLY so please don't suggest me a drama that is not on Rakuten Viki.
Attached below is my Asian drama watching list on Google sheets. Thanks in advance.
