2. Honra Teu Nome
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
Not a fun of medical, but I really loved it. A traditional medicine quirky specialist time-travels to modern life and meets a devoted female doctor. The characters' backgrounds and stories are explained in a way that makes you empathetic to them, I cried in the last episodes.

7. Navillera
Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
This is more of a slice of life drama about a grandpa learning ballet and the family theme prominent. I personally love this kind of slow, unexpected relationships and chasing dreams background, plus the dancing parts. I was not fond of some characters and their way of thinking and I could perceive some cultural gaps, but that was also interesting to consider.

9. 1% de Alguma Coisa

I have watched it a long time ago, as far as I remember it is an enjoyable romcom about bossy male and assertive teacher.
-
10. Por Favor, Não Namore Esse Cara
Korean Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
It is a romcom with questions about how technology affects us and online rumors. It could dwelve a little more on the subject and there were plot issues towards the end, but I am a fan of the premise.
-
11. A Beleza Interior
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
Actress supernaturally changing appearance every now and then and a man with prosopagnosia. Interesting premise and the consequences of their condition was shown, although a little one-dimensionally, I also personally enjoyed the romance, towards the end it became a little tropey and repetitive. I watched it at a time I began to dislike the ''fate'' component in every story, like is it not possible to make a story with two people with no priors?

12. Bom Trabalho
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes

14. Uma Advogada Extraordinária
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
I was at first excited about the autistic FL plus law and some stories did have meaning , also some quite likeable second characters, but the plot started lacking towards the end, especially on the law cases side. Still worth watching.
