If you're already accustomed to the world of K-Dramas, then we have something that would expand it: the whole world of J-Dramas.

Japan is full of interesting stories, and while tis country's culture impacts the storytelling in a different way, it's still extremely entertaining and satisfying. And you already surpassed that small barrier of subtitles!

One thing that you should know about J-Dramas is that quite often they are adapted from Japanese comics, manga, and have an original source behind the story. Especially if we're talking about wholesome, down-to-earth, slice-of-life type of shows.

That's not the only type of shows that exist in the world of J-Dramas, of course: they're also filled with detective plots full of suspense and twists, they also deal with the human drama that comes from grief and misery, and they also have lots of romantic stories of varying degrees of painfulness, from the nice ones to the completely devastating ones.

And surely, if you're already into K-Dramas, then your transition to the world of Japanese media won't be that hard. The only thing that keeps people away from them is subtitles and the fact that there are not many streaming services that have them available.
