Hi there! Welcome to the third part of Drama Recommendations.
This blog focuses on the genres of: School, Psychological/Medical and
Historical/Time Travelling Dramas!
School Dramas
I love school dramas. Sometimes, it's because I find it funny how there are a lot of scenes in these kinds of dramas where the students are more admirable and senseful than the teachers/adults! Like when the adults can't catch up about the true stories behind bullying or something.
Another reason is that, you can relate to it. Even the teachers and parents can. These dramas won't just focus on the school life of teenagers but also their lives in their own household. What these dramas all have in common is that they tend to develop and discover the young people's strengths and weaknesses for them to be their true selves.
So as I stop the preaching (I apologize), let's get into these great school dramas to watch!

Cheese in The Trap: My Rate= 9.6/10 Interesting attribute: This romance and thriller drama came from a webtoon series with the same title.This drama focuses on the lives of a group of university students, especially the complicated relationship of the two main characters. The male lead is intelligent and successful but with dark side of his personality(he sometimes plays psychopathic tendencies and struggles) while the female lead is a hardworking student.
Psychological and Medical Dramas
A more mature and deep genre are psychological and medical dramas. What I like about these storylines, is that you gain knowledge while you get entertained. Psychological dramas help you to learn how to deal with different types of people, not just the ones with mental problems. Medical dramas helps you learn more about your body and even what to do when you or someone encountered a certain injury(as an example).
However, my tip for you guys when you watch medical dramas, never watch it while eating! Trust me. You don't want to see detailed processes of surgeries while eating your favorite pizza.

Historical Korean and Time Travelling Dramas
Korean History is interesting. When I've watch a historical korean drama for the first time, I thought it would be pretty boring since I won't be able to relate to it. But in the end, I find myself enjoying and learning something from it. Here are some great historical dramas worth it to watch:
