Korean
Boys over Flowers - ⭐️ (4 stars only for my SoEulmates, who still have the same magic even today - the rest of the story was pretty good but I was never happy with the editting)
My Girl - ⭐️ (loved this one! One of my first Korean dramas and I absolutely loved it :D the main couple, Lee Da Hae and Dong Wook... aahhh, so lovely)
Goong - ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (I would have given it 4 stars but I felt it dragged just a bit at times... but I loved the main couple)
Soulmate - ⭐️ (underrated, but such a great drama! Finished it in 2 days, loved it! Must watch for something different and not typical of other dramas)
Shining Inheritance - ⭐️ (Loved the story, the actors, the emotions, everything)
City Hall (in the process of watching) - ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (It may start off kind of slowly but the story is nice and the actors are great!)
Partner (in the process of watching) - ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (I really like law stories and of course, Lee Dong Wook is a plus... very nice and interesting so far!)
Japanese
Orange Days - ⭐️ (looooved this one, such a feel-good drama!)
Last Friends - ⭐️ (One of my favourites of all-time, it's more towards the serious side but it was done so well, the actors were so amazing... loved it!)
Orthros no Inu (still going on currently) - ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (The story is really interesting and it's kind of slow but does move along quite a bit... it may not appeal to all but if you're looking for something different, this might be a good bet for you)
There are a few others which I have watched but never finished, so I'm not going to rate them...
lilmoonprincess, I think either My Girl or Goong would be perfect to fit what you're looking for :D hope that helps!
