What to Watch When You Don’t Have Much Time on Your Hands
Miniseries/Web-drama/Special -
-
1. Sassy Go Go
Korean Drama - 2015, 12 episodes
Sassy Go Go/Cheer Up: ultimately a drama with heartwarming friendship as it's main theme, it shows how the top 5 performing students are (unwillingly) paired with a dance crew of 5 students who definitely aren't anywhere near the top 5 to form a cheerleading club to build up a student's "resume" for college applications. Explores academic pressure, suicide, domestic violence, bribery/manipulation, trust and many other themes. Does have a little bit of romance, but also lots of character development and cute friendship. Also 12 episodes, and very easily binge watch-able - u/MikasaMilkTea
~ 12 hours

2. Nevertheless,
Korean Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
Nevertheless, -If you're all about realistic relationships and look for many side stories then this one's for you. It has so many mature and realistic aspects to it though the main couple is not very likable, the side stories are definitely worth watching the drama for. - u/Fatooz
~ 11. 75 hours

3. Bad Guys

Korean Drama - 2015, 20 episodes

~10 hours
-
5. Dr. Frost
Korean Drama - 2014, 10 episodes
Dr. Frost - based on a popular webcomic, it's a psychological thriller with one of the most sinister/twisted bad guys in the business. In my opinion, it doesn't get worse than playing with someone's mind (see: Bad Guys). Dr. Frost is a professor in psychology who is unable to feel empathy due to a brain injury from a car accident in his childhood. He also works in a college counseling center where together with a teaching assistant who couldn't be more different than him they end up helping the police solve difficult crimes involving college students.
Why you should watch: it's a refreshing take on the 'coldhearted detective' trope. It's not that he pretends not to care only to find his feelings in the end (along with a healthy dollop of romance), it's that he literally can't feel empathy. That coupled with his rational thought processing make it a much more believable drama than many of it competitors. - u/AlohaAlex

6. My Only Love Song
Korean Drama - 2017, 20 episodes
My Only Love Song is short and a lot of silly fun. Like Splish, Splash Love it mixes modern day with historical sageuk but it has more elements of farce in it than the usual kdrama. - u/Charissa29
~10 hours

~ 10 hours
-
9. Conspiracy in the Court
Korean Drama - 2007, 8 episodes
If you are at all into mystery/thriller and/or historical dramas, I highly recommend Conspiracy in the Court (한성별곡). It is an 8-episode series revolving around a murder case set in Hansung, the capital of Korea during the latter years of the Joseon dynasty. It wasn't popular when it aired, but when people revisited the series it received extremely high reviews. Because it is short, it cuts out the sloppy fluff (weak romances or forced comedy) that could take away from a tight plot. So try it out if you enjoy mystery dramas and/or seeing a glimpse of Korean history during a time it began absorbing western influences. - u/MrsSweetnSpicy

10. Lovestruck in the City
Korean Drama - 2020, 17 episodes
Lovestruck in the City - If you're looking for an indie romance and want something different in the romance genre then I think this one's for you. Kim Ji-Won and Ji Chang-Wook's chemistry will leave you with so many sparks flying just from the very first encounter they have with each other. The aesthetics were just an add on. - u/Fatooz
Lovestruck in the City - Engaging from the first episode. Interesting and different story telling through interviews of the characters. Episodes are only 30-40 minutes. - u/woossah

14. Girls' Generation 1979
Korean Drama - 2017, 8 episodes
I also really liked Girls' Generation 1979. It's 8 episodes x 60 min, so not really a mini, but half the size of a normal drama. It's in the climate of some of the student protests in early 80s, it's a bit more serious than the others I've listed, but had really great characters. - u/pvtshame

15. A Love So Beautiful

17. Surplus Princess
Korean Drama - 2014, 10 episodes
I just watched 잉여공주 (Surplus Princess) a month or two ago, which is only 10 episodes long. It's definitely the funniest one I've watched. The cast features a bunch of people from SNL Korea. I'd describe the pacing of the show as being similar to that of other romantic dramas, except with fewer twists and a lot more jokes. Very light-hearted. I recommend it! - u/OlderThanGif

Korean Drama - 2017, 15 episodes
In The Boy Next Door, two college students become neighbors and slowly develop an actually pretty touching friendship. However, they often end up getting mistaken as boyfriends. I just really enjoy their friendship and their humorous moments as they get mistaken for another type of relationship, especially by their common friend and her closeted (iirc) boyfriend. - u/hades-town

92. The Cravings
Korean Drama - 2013, 6 episodes
There's a funny and simple drama on Netflix called The Cravings and it's a super short and easy to watch. 2 seasons and each episode is around 10 minutes. Unfortunately, it isn't a romance but the main character does have love interests. It's more of a slice-of-life comedy that deals with love/family/friendship/health situations, very #relatable stuff. And the best part is that she's a foodie and at the end of each episode she shares a bomb ass recipe. - u/gwooble
