87 Upvotes

Hi r/KDRAMA! We're kicking off our Pass It On campaign, featuring K-pop group LE SSERAFIM. Like all K-drama fans with strong opinions about what they're watching, they want to share their picks with you.

In that spirit, we thought it would be fun to play a K-drama recommendation chain game! The rules are simple: someone comments a K-drama, and the next person recommends a show based on the previous person's pick – but the shows must be connected through a shared actor, director, or theme.

We'll kick things off with some of LE SSERAFIM's watchlist dramas: W, Guardian: The Lonely and Great God, While You Were Sleeping, Lovely Runner, and The Legend of Kitchen Soldier. (Titles listed in chronological order.)

Pick a drama and share your recommendation + the connection! Pass it on 💙

Mod Announcement On-Air Passport Sign up for A Love Other Than Yours

35 Upvotes

Hi Everyone,

Unfortunately our attempts to stem the flow of toxicity, hatred and other general misconduct from users who refuse to read and follow our rules within the On-Air discussions for A Love Other Than Yours have been unsuccessful so we will be requiring anyone wishing to participate in these discussions moving forward to have an On-Air Passport.

If you wish to participate in the On-Air discussions for A Love Other Than Yours, please read this post in full and follow the instructions to be granted a flair which acts as an access pass.

General Overview

What is it?

The On-Air passport is a specific user flair-base which acts as an access pass to certain specific drama discussions. The On-Air passport can only be granted by a member of the moderation team. We use /u/Automoderator to grant them to our users in a sign up post (this post). Accounts which do not have this flair-base will have their comments automatically removed from the On-Air discussion and receive a message directing them to this sign up post.

Please note that while automod may grant you a user flair if you follow instructions within this post, in order to participate you will also need to have an account in good standing and a positive karma rating.

Additionally, the mod team reserves the right to revoke access passes based on problematic behavior within our community (which includes r/kdramarecommends) outside of the On-Air discussions for A Love Other Than Yours.

How does it work?

Users without this flair base will have their comments automatically removed from A Love Other Than Yours On-Air discussions by automod. The flair base is a requirement for participating.

As this flair is a mod-only flair you won't be able to edit your flair text once it is set by automod, so please set your flair to the text you want before proceeding to the comment section below.

The flair base requirement applies only to the On-Air discussions for A Love Other Than Yours and does not apply to any other posts in our community such as our FFAs or monthly recurring posts. If you do not plan on participating in these On-Air discussions, there is no need to get the flair.

Will this post be open for the duration of the drama?

We hope so. One of the aims of this is to reduce our moderation load by having users read and understand our expectations for conduct. We do not want to spend our free time reading people’s arguments when we could be watching dramas instead. However, if our moderation load becomes excessive we will lock this post until things calm down.


Expectations For Conduct in A Love Other Than Yours On-Airs

On-Air discussions are for our users to safely discuss the drama, A Love Other Than Yours. If you cannot discuss the drama civilly, you will be excluded.

Users may have differing opinions on characters, plot, the overall drama, etc. Everyone has the right to have different tastes and opinions, there is no right or wrong here. The spirit of discussion in this subreddit is to delve into the details and intricacies in what we watch, what our opinions are, and how we feel about what we watched.

Required Reading Before Participation in the On-Airs

Users participating in any On-Air discussions in r/KDRAMA should read and follow our On-Air-Rules (section 5 of our Rules), a subset of rules tailored for our On-Air discussions. These rules specifically cover permitted user conduct, content and frequency of comments, and spoilers in On-Air discussions.

These rules can be found in section 5 of our full rules or as a standalone section.

Suggested reading:

We strongly recommend users also read the following before participating in any discussions on /r/KDRAMA: (1) Reddiquette, (2) our Conduct Rules (3) our Conduct Related Policies, (4) our Moderation Policy, and (5) the When Discussions Get Personal Post.

These five items form the basis of our expectations of civil behavior in our community, we expect all users to conduct themselves in line with the standards and expectations set forth in them.

By acquiring the flair for access to On-Air discussions for A Love Other Than Yours you are affirming that you have read the On-Air Rules and will follow them while conducting yourself in line with our expectations set forth in the suggested reading linked above.

Most Common Forms of Misconduct we are targeting

The following are the most common forms of misconduct that we moderate. Please avoid such behavior.

Users Making Things Personal: Do not engage in personal attacks, including attributing certain qualities or labels to a user based on their commentary. We suggest to review the tone of your comment is not rude or aggressive before clicking "comment".

Discussing other users:* Rather than discussing other users or other people in general watching the drama, please stick to discussing the drama that this thread is dedicated to. Keep in mind that everyone is allowed to have a different watch experience, opinions and reasons for watching the drama. There is no singular “correct” reaction to the drama.

Users Not respecting cast & crew: Do not make personal comments about the cast or crew and be respectful of their privacy. It's totally fine to critique the drama respectfully but please refrain from personal attacks against those involved in the creation of the drama.

Violence: We get that there are some incredibly hateful characters in this drama but please refrain from listing explicit injuries or graphic violence you would like to see happen or perform on the characters.

Profanity: Use of profanity has been increasing as the drama goes along, as per our profanity policy we strongly discourage use of any profanity. Comments that are found to include excess or concealed profanity will be removed.

Users bringing in drama from other communities: This subreddit is for the discussion of Korean dramas. If you want to discuss [x/MDL/IMDb/other subreddit/etc]'s drama go elsewhere.

Consequences Of Misconduct

  • A single comment removed by the moderation team due to misconduct will result in a minimum 30 day ban from r/KDRAMA. You will not be eligible to re-enter the discussions.

  • Comments which fail to follow On-Air rules such as comment limitations, comment quality, use of spoiler tags will be actioned as normal.

  • If we have a large number of new accounts causing issues we will stop allowing new accounts from participating in these discussions altogether.

  • Any extremely problematic behavior will result in overall bans from r/KDRAMA community (including r/kdramarecommends) and may be reported to reddit admin.

Reporting Conduct Issues

Reports that are helpful:

  • Reporting users who break our conduct rules e.g. make personal attacks, make racist comments, use hate speech etc.

  • If someone makes a personal attack on you please report it immediately and walk away. Retaliating will only earn you a ban.

  • If a user contacts you via private message regarding your comments in these threads, see our advice here on what to do.

Reports that are unhelpful:

  • Reporting comments you do not like. Just ignore them; or if you really don’t like the user’s opinions you can always block them.

  • Using the report function to block people is no longer necessary. Selecting random report reasons is a waste of mod time, please use the block function as explained here.


Once you have read and understood the above, including the On-Air rules, please comment, "I will follow the On-Air Rules" as a direct reply to this post to receive your On-Air Passport.

By commenting “I will follow the On-Air Rules” to this post, you are affirming that you have read this entire post and the On-Air rules linked in the Required Reading section, and will behave in accordance to the standards and expectations outlined in them.


FAQ:

Spotlight On SPOTLIGHT ON High School - October, 2026

• Upvotes

Welcome to our Spotlight On post series where you can share your picks of dramas that deserve the spotlight! Each Spotlight On post is focused on a genre or theme, as you can see in the post title. Based on this genre/theme, you are welcome to share your views about dramas you have watched that fit the topic of this post, which is:

High School

Dramas set in high school or with high school aged protagonists.

You are invited to share short (or long) reviews of dramas you have watched that fit the topic of this post and an explanation of why you think the drama deserves the spotlight, including whether you would recommend the drama or not.

Our suggested format/structure for comments is:

Drama Name

  • Good Things: about the drama,

  • Bad Things: about the drama

  • Interesting Things: about the drama

  • Spotlight On Because: explain why you think the drama deserves the spotlight, including whether you would recommend the drama or not.

We strongly encourage you to share your MDL profile so that others can compare their tastes with yours to get a better understanding of preferences and dislikes, which will help in understanding if the feedback provided is applicable for them.

Please remember that every individual watching goes in with their own life experiences and biases so not everyone will see the drama in the same light or enjoy it in the same way.

Just because someone did not enjoy a drama that you loved is not a slight against you as a person.

When participating in this discussion please remember that whilst dramas do not have feelings, human beings do. Be kind to one another.

Please remember to use spoiler tags when discussing major plot points or anything you think should be redacted. If you are using Markdown and not Fancy Pants Editor, the easiest way to create spoiler tags is to use > ! spoiler content ! < without spaces to get spoiler content. For more detailed guidance on spoiler tags and when to use them, check our Spoiler Tags Tutorial.

Weekly Post Throwback Thursday 2.0 - [2026/10/14]

5 Upvotes

Grab yourself a knee rug and a mug of hot chocolate, it's time to reminisce those old time dramas from days gone by of pre-2019. Maybe you were around when they aired for the first time and want to take a trip down memory lane by watching them on the box. Maybe it's your first time through.

This is our weekly discussion exclusively for those older Korean dramas on your currently watching list. We don't want to hear about the currently hyped dramas here, so please keep it to the older stuff on your watch list.

Reminder, we advocate the use of legal streaming sources wherever possible. Any comments mentioning illegal sources will be removed and links will lead to bans as per our rules. As it is very hard to find many of the really old dramas rather than asking users "where are you watching?", we suggest you instead ask "did you find a legal source?". See our policies on streaming sites and VPNs here.

Crazily enough not everyone has watched these classics yet so please remember your spoiler tags when discussing major plot points or anything you think should be redacted. If you are using Markdown and not Fancy Pants Editor, the easiest way to create spoiler tags is to use > ! spoiler content ! < without spaces to get spoiler content. For more detailed guidance on spoiler tags and when to use them, check our Spoiler Tags Tutorial.

Monthly Post Refund My Time - October, 2026

13 Upvotes

Ever watch a drama where by the time the ending credits roll for the final episode, you start wishing you can get a refund for your time spent?

If so, come to this thread to lament about that drama you wish you'd never watched!

This post is different from the Dramas I Have Dropped post in that these should be dramas you finished watching and then regretted watching as opposed to having dropped the drama midway. Colloquially referred to as hate watch. This thread is envisioned for both the completists in our community who cannot drop dramas and dramas that go off the rails at the last minute.

In order to keep this thread from becoming a vortex of negative energy we encourage our users to share their reasons and reviews as to why they regretted watching certain dramas. This way rather than just hating on dramas without reason this thread can become a constructive place for us all. We can learn from each other and maybe even be convinced by others as to why a drama may have been worth watching after all.

You are not limited to Kdramas, feel free to discuss non-Kdramas or movies too. We strongly encourage you to share your MDL profile so that others can compare their tastes with yours to get a better understanding of preferences and dislikes, which will help in understanding if the feedback provided is applicable for them.

Please remember that every individual watching goes in with their own life experiences and biases so not everyone will see the drama in the same light or enjoy it in the same way.

Just because someone did not enjoy a drama that you loved is not a slight against you as a person.

When participating in this discussion please remember that whilst dramas do not have feelings, human beings do. Be kind to one another.
