91 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

37 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 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.

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.

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

6 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

12 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.

The r/KDRAMA Approach ON-AIR-TIQUETTE (Discussion Etiquette for On-Air Discussions)

9 Upvotes

Check the Post for Stickied Mod-notes Before Participating

From time to time issues arise within the on-air discussions, whether it be a broadcasting delay, if the discussion requires a flair passport or something related to user conduct has come up. Please check and read the note in full before participating in the discussion. Failure to read and follow instructions in Mod Notes is not a defense against moderation actions that may be taken on your account.

Contribute Meaningful Content

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. We encourage our users to participate in our on-air discussions with this mindset to get the most out of our community and the discussions.

Meaningful comments do not have to be thesis length but they should contain your personal insight and observations about the drama or share items of interest for fellow viewers such a relevant news articles, behind the scenes content, or insightful content about the drama hosted on other platforms.

Check Your Spelling, Grammar and Formatting

Before hitting send on your comment, take a minute to check that your spelling and grammar is correct. Using correct spelling and punctuation aids in reducing miscommunication and misunderstanding between the writer and the reader.

Try to avoid unclear abbreviations and internet slang -- keep in mind that our community is international and things like abbreviations and internet slang are often the easiest things to get lost in translation.

Blocks of text are hard to read. If you are submitting larger blocks of text please format your text into paragraphs so readers are able to read them with ease. Formatting your text in easily readable chunks will make it easier for the reader to process and comprehend.

Be Clear About Which Episode is Being Discussed

If participating in a multiple episode thread clearly mark what episode your thoughts are pertaining to.

Generally we advise that you make separate comments for each episode, especially if you are watching and participating as the drama airs. If you are joining in the conversation at a later date after all episodes for that week have aired, then combining multiple episode comments into a single comment also works.

Use Character Names or Role Descriptions

When discussing a character or their actions within the drama, try to use character names or role descriptions rather than the name of the actor or actress.

Examples

  • Kim Tan force kissed Eunsang. -- Recommended -- Using character names makes it clear that you are discussing the character in the drama and there is no blurring or confusion between drama-world and real life.

  • ML force kissed FL. -- Recommended -- Using role descriptions such as ML (male lead) and FL (Female Lead) also makes it clear that you are discussing the character in the drama. Some users may prefer role descriptions because it can be clearer and easier to write rather than character names (especially for supporting/tertiary characters -- ie 'the Truck of DoomTM driver'). We advise that you keep the use consistent within a single comment (ie. don't user Kim Tan and ML simultaneously in a comment, stick to one). If you are replying to another user's comment, try to follow their usage.

  • Lee Min Ho force kissed Park Shin Hye. -- Not Recommended -- Using the names of the actor and actress in place of the character name or role discussion when discussing character actions within the drama blurs the line between drama-world and real life and can lead to things such as an inability to separate the character from the actor. Using the names of the actor and actress is not advised unless you are specifically discussing their acting technique.

Use Spoiler Tags

Spoiler tags are simple and easy to use so there is no excuse not to use them. See our spoiler tag guide on how and when to use them. If your spoilers are pertaining to something other than the on-air drama e.g. the source material -- please clearly mark in brackets before the spoiler what exactly is being spoiled.

For example if the drama is an adaptation of a webtoon and you are discussing the webtoon your spoiler might appear like this:

(spoiler for webtoon) spoiler filled text

While the usage of spoiler tags is encouraged in our on-airs, especially for major twists -- as spaces for discussions of kdramas, users will be discussing what has happened in the latest episode(s). If you want to avoid spoilers completely, it is advised that you do not enter into these threads at all until you have completed viewing the episodes for yourself.

Note Any Edits

If you have to edit your comment for any reason, please leave a note down the bottom explaining why the comment was edited. This helps preserve context and transparency in discussions.

DO NOT Petition For Split Threads

As part of our normal moderation duties the moderation team monitor the on-airs for user conduct and participation levels. This includes both the quantity and quality of discussions being had. It is unnecessary to petition, complain, beg, or ask for threads to be split.

Also do not make calls for people to comment to 'break' records or to satisfy comment quotas -- focus on contributing to the discourse meaningfully and letting the quality of the discussion reflect the quality of the drama instead of turning the amount of comments into a popularity contest.

DO NOT Post Low Effort One-Liners

Low effort comments are those which add very little value to the discussion.

Rather than posting a one liner such as, “I love/hate this drama” go into details of the whos/hows/whys you may just find someone who feels the same way.

When responding to other user’s comments, make an effort. Short comments such as “lol”, “this”, and similar expressions of agreement are unnecessary and do not add to the conversation. Instead use the upvote function to express that you have seen the comment and feel that it should be seen.

Other one-liner comments that should be avoided include catchphrases from the drama.

DO NOT Split Commentary Into Separate Comments

A single comment per user per episode is adequate (unless your commentary exceeds the 10,000 character limitations of a comment), you can always come back and edit your comment if you want to add to your thoughts.

Splitting commentary into one-liner comments may be viewed as spamming behavior and result in bans from the community. Please do not treat on-air threads like it is Twitter and split commentary into a bunch of live reaction "tweets" -- combine your reactions into a single comment.

DO NOT Spoil People On Purpose

Do not return to an earlier discussion to leave commentary about later episodes. People who haven't watched at the same pace, or even years later visit these threads to read the comments as they watch the drama. Leaving spoilers whether on purpose or without thought is not acceptable behaviour.

Similarly in a standard double episode thread do not reply to a user's first episode of the week comment (or tag them) with spoilers from the second episode such as "you were right" as they may not have had the chance to watch the episode yet.

DO NOT Forget That People Have Different Watch Experiences

Our subreddit is made up of users from all walks of life from all around the world with different thoughts, opinions and experiences. They are all welcome to have their own opinions and reasons for watching the drama (including hate-watching).

They are allowed to have a different opinion to you. DO NOT try to force your opinion on another user.

They are allowed to have a different watch experience. DO NOT attack or criticize another user if they have a different watch experience.

They are allowed to comment in on-airs even if they are criticizing a drama or expressing a negative watch experience.

DO NOT Make Things Personal

Do not engage in personal attacks, including attributing certain qualities or labels to a user based on their commentary.

Examples

  • "You are racist." - This is a direct personal attack. It does not matter if the OP presented themselves in this light, direct attacks are not allowed.

  • "Your comment was racist" - While this is not a direct personal attack as it passes judgment on the comment rather than the OP, such a comment may, depending on context, still be viewed as a personal attack/negative behavior as it ties the comment to the OP and can sometimes be taken as "your comment is X, therefore, you are also X." If this is the primary or only point in your comment, it may be removed as a personal attack/negative behavior. If this is a secondary point, we will evaluate the total context of your comment before considering removal.

  • "OP, your comment came across as racist, and here's why..." - This is a much better approach. It extends the benefit of the doubt to the OP by separating them from their comment and puts the focus on how their comment comes across to others rather than simply passing judgement on it. By providing context to the OP and offering them the other side's perspective on how the comment was received, you are giving the OP a chance to see their commentary in a different light and may help them broaden their views and perspectives.

DO NOT Focus On Reddit Karma Or Popularity Of Opinions

Keep discussions focused on the kdrama itself. Discussion of Reddit upvotes/downvotes is completely irrelevant to the kdrama -- just focus on discussing the drama. In a similar vein, discussion of the perceived relative popularity of an opinion is completely irrelevant to the kdrama -- just focus on discussing the drama. STOP talking about whether your opinion is unpopular or not and just make your point about the drama.

DO NOT Report Comments Just Because You Disagree

The reporting function is for reporting comments that break our subreddit's rules and policies -- it is not a super downvote.

Please report comments only when they break rules or policies.

DO NOT Harass On-Air Hosts

Your on-air hosts are volunteers doing a great service to the community -- do not harass them about items related to moderation -- such as splitting threads, posting times, or comment removals/locking. The majority of the on-air hosts are not mods and do not have any control over moderation.

DO NOT Ask For Streaming Sources/Complain About Streaming Availability

All On-Air discussions have available legal streaming sources listed in the post body -- please READ THE POST BODY for the streaming source instead of posting a comment asking for a streaming source. If you do not see the drama on the listed streaming source in your region, reach out to customer service of your streaming service for availability issues.

Please do not complain about limited availability or regional restrictions, it sucks -- everyone gets it. Complaining about it in on-airs achieves nothing to change the situation and it detracts from discourse about the kdrama itself. Please focus the discourse in on-airs on the kdrama at hand instead of the millionth complaint about regional restrictions of streaming services.

Comment replies to this post are not regularly monitored by the mod team. If you need attention from the mod team, please either start your comment with "Mods" or send a Modmail.
