Any good korean dramas to recommend?

Question

I've been looking for good korean dramas to watch, but I am having trouble finding good ones to watch. I tried to watch dream high 2 but the plot and characters are not very good, maybe because i've watched dream high 1 so i am kind of disappointed at the second season. Any good korean dramas to recommend?

Here's the dramas that i've watched:

-Fullhouse (my favorite, really cute drama, starring song hye kyo and rain, a must-watch)
-one percent of anything (a nice romcom…didn’t like ending though)
-coffee prince (about a girl pretending to be guy…great drama by yoon eun hye)
-shining inheritance (love the storyline and good morals in the story)
-personal taste (a must watch for fans of lee min ho)
-my girl (really funny and romantic....starring lee dae hae, a must-watch)
-secret garden (love hyun bin in this drama, great storyline and suspenseful plot, a must-watch)
-my girlfriend is a nine tail fox (a mystical romantic story, really good, a must-watch)
-prosecutor princess (has great storyline and open you to the world of law)
-fantasy couple (really funny, a good watch)
-wonderful life (another favorite, really meaningful and heartwarming storyline)
-goong (a great historical romcom, yoon eun hye is really good here, the guy actors are good looking)
-9 end 2 out (not bad, got bored in the middle of the drama)
-delightful girl choon-hyung (really funny, great chemistry, a must-watch)
-spring waltz (love the background music, a slow but beautiful drama, has happy ending)
-dream high (great drama with dancing and singing, actor and actress from IU, 2pm, Miss A, T-ara)
-boys before flowers (a very popular drama, good looking actors, a must-watch)
-take care of the young lady (a good storyline but lacking in chemistry between main actor and actress)
-you are beautiful (another very popular drama, good looking actors…a must watch)
-that fool (really funny and romantic)
-witch yoo hee (funny and a good romcom)
-I am sam (an interesting storyline about girl liking her teacher)
-playful kiss (another popular drama, rendition of Japanese manga, starring kim hyun joong…a must watch)
-smile, you (a great romantic comedy of the family)
-heartstrings (really good…starring jung yong hwa and park shin hye…love the music and touching moments…a must watch)
-city hunter (great plot and with good action and romance…starring lee min ho…a nust watch)
-49 days (fantasy and romance…suspenseful plot…similar to secret garden…a must watch)

And sorry I didn't read your list of what you've watched since it was long. But my favorite is It started with a kiss although it is Taiwanese drama. 49 days and Stairway to Heaven was the best Korean. 1 Litre of Tears for the Japanese. And the rest are pretty good too.

Hope this helped!

Yes, I know someone else already named this but I too, highly recommend Shut Up Flower Boy Band. I know the name doesn't sound good but it's a good drama. All of the actors and actresses are good at acting. In the beginning, it doesn't start off with the main characters being your bright boy next door - they're not your typical, normal students. This band has the closest friendship ever and you end up loving all of them. There's also romance and it's really heartwarming. Plus, the band gives birth to great music! The other characters in the story, at first, you might not like them but later on, you naturally do. Not everyone here is just 'the bad guy.' 'The bad guy' can also have a good heart. It's a drama you'd never regret watching and will have you wanting more.

I tried Miss Ripley and it wasn't extremely terrible. Lee Dahee is a great actress (she's really good at crying and showing her pain!). The drama is based on a true story and it's not a fluffy drama. The other actors have good acting as well (nobody overreacts).

I recommend Sungkyunkwan Scandal too. Everyone has good acting here and the four main characters are just lovely + close buddies. There's romance and it's one of those dramas that makes you want to watch more.

I didn't watch these dramas but my friend watched Bad Family and Pasta. She said those dramas were actually good (she's picky and rarely watches Korean dramas).
