Dramas with good messages or deep meaning

This is really really amazing drama, with lots of good messages. It teaches viewers so many things.  All Kang Doo's words. All Moon Soo's Words. Just all the subjects this drama is exploring everything's amazing! truly a masterpiece

one of them
a squirrel takes two acorns. one he eats one buriers to eat in winter. But hen forgets and doesn't eat. what a waste... but that being a waste for a moment, the acorn gives roots, becomes a tree and the tree becomes a forest. what a thankful thing.

life is full of regrets and failures - then whats the point of living? - to make better (cooler) regrets and failors. so dont be a scardy-cat

hurt and paint is always with the living, you cant get away from it, so the only way is to just accept it - but ist unfair - but instead you need to live a better, happier life to make up for it.

be happy with all your might!

huh? she lived long so it's okay for her to die? is there a good death in this world?!

who needs an advice about life from others. Stop thinking that you can't live life like others. Who cares. just live like you want!

I walk with 100kg weight everyday! when i take them off i feel like flying :D - wouldn't it be better to walk without them and feel like flying always? - heh you don't know! you should feel the weight to be able to fly!

My poor children sadness is your strength. Suffering, resentment and regrets, are your strengths. with those strengths, please somehow survive this ugly and scary life. (budi)

there is no paradise at the places when you run away. when you reach the place, as expecting it's a battlefield. 

This, This is just the best healing i have ever got! T_T I thought it will but hurtful and emotinally tough, but it was beautiful and very healing T_T the healing of healings T_T Thank you, just thank you for this drama. This might be the most suited drama for this list 

there is no nee to tell more. just the name already says it all. How she says that she will take the words "kill me" and make them into "heal me". And lots psychologically good messages in this amazing drama. 

I don't think what the teacher does is cruel. Some people need this kind of treatment to get themselves together. Some relationships need to be completely broken to pieces to be built newly, from start, without using those broken pieces. I just love this teachers method. Iiiiiiii neeeeee

"There are people who think that a woman becomes a mother only when she gives birth to a child. But A woman becomes a mother when she gives all of her to an existence smaller than her"
Mother. A very beautiful drama that teaches a lot about parenthood. and childhood. <3 <3 <3 <3 

Kim Sabu says a lot of deep stuff

Fate is a question God throws the Answer we need to find ourselves - love these words. 

Future, past, now.... not only that. well this drama is a masterpiece that has a lot of good messages!

How a totally normal person is made not normal 

some good stuff about writing and reading.
especially the conversation between king and Sambong's nephew. it was amazing. It makes you realize just how import is the writing system.
though gotta root only for the king from the start

This is just amazing.... so many deep stuff going on. How one makes a new country. this was amazing really. 

Mighty child legend already great! Also how he tells that he is just a slaves son but like a king, and a king is royal son but a lowly being! 

The thoughts of Gil dong! 

So many important thoughts! 

Especially for now ep 8 and many others! 

Just love it! 

the message is more sad than good. but it was still a message. Loved this amazing drama

A bit slow and old, though has a very good, nice and sweet message. 

How a small seed of doubt is growing. only couple of words and a normal smart kid may see a monster, and monster seems as an innocent kid

Just what the mother can do. amazing mystery 

How bad people, doing something good, start to feel that doing good is good lol
"how does it feel to save a person for the first time?" 

This drama just gives one an idea that being a psychopath doesn't mean everything's over. I think what the girl was trying to do while teaching him emotions is very interesting 

The way he became a person. some deep words are said there

More than good messages, the drama just had some interesting deep meaning. 

There were many buy, for example, the scene where that guys learn about everything and it is shown as if he is surprised and scared. Some time later the same scene shown, but here we see the same emotion as being surprised and excited...

shows the importance of things we tend to not notice until we lose them! 

mother scenes are so hearwretching 

About a rotten society, and how the law should be better. About the importance of family! 

Gokusen 1,2,3, movie all gokusen's have a very great message about attention to kids and how even worst ones with the right teacher can start shining 

this should be watched even by psychologists and psychiatrists!

best!!! So much about parenthood, A real LOVE, Salvation,  Healing, so many great quotes!!!
come i'll hug you!

The tree (namu) inside me that stopped growing, was waiting for rain and sun. and after it started to grow and grey all the leaves it became a paradise (nakwon) again!
their names had such a deep meaning here! 

and everything!! this showed how evil is a choice! and how they chose not to become a monster like their "father".  also showed a lot of twisted thoughts! and a very good answer to them!
And an amazing character development!!! nakwon in the end was so great! namu too! and everyone!!

This drama had a good message for me.  firstly because i don't like robot dramas as they all end in tragedy. second american robot movies show many apocalyptic themes with robots attacking people.  This one showed how a person can make a super mega kind robot and that robot can be better than most humans not in terms of abilities like power, or brain but  rather in terms of humanity in him, the values and traits he possessed. 

History always has a lot to teach, say, and show. This drama was not only beautiful but also very meaningful! there was a lot about races, about friendship between people who are different from birth, even with countries of birth, or where they grew up. friendship above anything else. Important things that make people join hands with each other. historical aspects! how there are a lot of things that we don't know, or know the owner of, but don't give it special meaning, without knowing the deep stories they hold. .. And a lot more! I also really liked the relationship between main leads full of respect towards each other.
----there is a SPOILER going below. don't read it. this is just for me to remember what i liked about this drama. also for those who watched it already. or for those who actually read it and like it. lol SPOILER below. ----
Their feeling were no sexual, it was love, so there weren't any sensual touches, feelings and kisses. It was so pure, and full of respect. I loved it a lot! same with the relationship of Hina and Gu Dong Mae.

such a strong message about education.... all the moms being obsessed with their kids education, so making themselves and kids crazy. and in the end they realize how that is all just a shell, and start to search for themselves, who are they and what they want.  amazing!!!

• We are all frogs inside a boiling pot but it boils so slow that frogs don't notice it at all and die. and the piper is trying to wake the frogs up!
• not telling generally to people to move but telling exactly who who to move where.
• save 1 person or 4
• the last scenes with the plane! telling everyone their own gps locations. the sacrifice. They can't find the answer because they are not ready to sacrifice themselves.
• the piper lives again in seung chan.
• The evil doesn't grow on blood, It grows in silence. When you closed you eyes and ears even after knowing the truth, the evil only strengthens.
• only the one who doesn't have power, can forgive
  
  so many amazing messages in this drama about truth about hiding that truth, about sacrifice and most of all about communication!!! the negotiation team was great! 

I liked the powerful women and a good company.  
This comment contains spoilers. 

Some quotes and situations i liked and remembered:

• What can you do,     the world is like that. But also as an adult who had played a part to make     this world like this, I apologize to you.

• The director  (Brian) of the company told bad things to the female lead (Tammy) taking her rights away. But while doing so he also called the 2nd female lead (Scarlet). After the situation was resolved Tammy asked Brian why did he call Scarlet too, did he know that she will help her smash the bad guys car. He answered that he is not a God and didn't know such a thing. But in that situation Scarlet, that he knows, would have definitely taken Tammy's side. As it was a situation were he, the director was taking away Tammy's rights and showing his power over her, he wanted that someone would be there that would take her side and remind her that she is the one who is right and fight the director a bit.
• Notebook and a     pen - present for graduating the elementary school, for you to become a     person who can say his thoughts with beautiful words. For middle school -     sneakers - so you can walk straightly even on the hard roads. For     graduating high school - a watch - for you to become a person who     cherishes his time and uses it carefully. 

the whole drama is about humans. mistakes, trials and errors. also help, touching moments, families. i just love them all! 

About ghosts and the after life.
I liked that they showed how people go and how they need to clean up. how emotions can take over to make them evil and how their real selves can win.
How the revenge cannot be so fulfilling. 

messages about politics. very nice.

"I want to see a world where a good person wins."
This was a very smart drama.
But a bit disappointed for the ending of the investigation part.

made me look up Korean mythology about how the world was created, which this is based on. It's very interesting!!

Interesting how civilization works. How people who have never learned start to learn in a painful way.
Bronze!
Names have power

How children are becoming thirsty for power. (Tagon and Taealha)
their story was really nice and made me cheer for them.

How one word one action can throw you into the pit of despair and only you, your willpower can pull you out, or someone else's  one word or action.

The process of becoming king!
I think this even maybe how Korea became kingdom like jeoson. Or even before that, the 3 kingdoms. How a person's good will turned into tyranny in one night. And people were made to bow to the ground to the king. How king became the one who has to have everything.

How you should't mess with woman. Tealha didn't let her be played.

How a person becomes hero. How one good deed brings 10000 good deeds in return.

How they started to wonder, what if we use iron and not bronze!

How the seed of revenge appears in good people just because of some action.

How the curse turns into reality.

How Tanya captures people's hearts! so smart
  

That we act like it is written, karma and stuff, our characters our behavior and stuff, and can't get away from it until we get self-awareness and it will still be hard and all but still. and how we get separated and secluded from the other people who are not yet aware. 

power of numbers, power of community haha good they showed the bad sides of it, and then the good sides :) really warm power of miracles made by good people, who like Yong-shik said outnumber bad people.  
my art teacher long time also also said it :) that 90% of the world are good people so they are more than the bad ones. Haha I like to believe it though for myself I always thought that 90 of people are something in the middle and can get either bad of good. idk :) Anyway this was a kind drama about mothers, about power, about kindness, about friends and relatives.

This drama has a great message to youth, about chasing dreams, about being strong, about achieving what they want. and most of all about keeping a great character full of great virtues. Park Se Ro Yi's character is indeed a great example! and also other characters show a lot of strength too. I also like how they show strong females here and not dependent on man! I love how yi so can take care of herself.

"So what if i'm a high school drop out, have a criminal record and an orphan! i can still do what i want! Don't decide my worth for me!" 

DEFENCE! 

About the bond between people that can be stronger than any blood relation! About children that were so precious! About right adults and about the importance of going the right way... if the villain was saved by the right person like eun ho was.... everything would have been different. 

The Conflict inside the main characters.
Beak Yi Hyun - Ogre (dochebi/Oni)
Beak Yi Kang - Goshigi
amazing performance! good and evil, weakness and strength.

The way that in the end the one who defeated the ogre was Yi Hyun.

Song Ja In was a great merchant.
The stuff Jong Bong Joon (nokdu) was saying, about dying and about revolution.

very touching how all the nokdu flowers were in the end people! 

messages about the importance of doing good and how it will come back to you. 

Psycho but okay.

...."He stopped seeing nightmares but he wasn't happy at all, one day he asked the witch why. And she told that only the ones who remember all the pain have the right to be happy, ... So don't forget it and overcome it. Only the ones who overcome have the right to be happy. If you don't, then you will become a child who can never grow up"....(yongwoni charhaji aneun ai ga dwenda)

..."What was it that he wanted, the food, or mom's warmth?"... (ongi)

..."hands, fish.... Mom wanted help but the child was saying "mother, sorry you were keeping me on your back so i don't have legs, you were giving me food so i don't have hands but i have big mouth, after mom threw the child into the sea, it is told that sometimes sailors can hear a child's cry who asks - "mother, what did i do wrong?""

..."with them laughing their masks fell off, and they realized that what the witch stole was not their real real faces but the courage to be happy."...

How even a simple changes can affect once future.
how Kim Seo Jin in the future didn't do much the second time but everything connected and made a small change in present Kim Seo Jin's heart and that small change started driving him in the right direction making the future more and more unpredictable as it started to change with his each decision and not being already decided. 

Uneasy thoughts call upon uneasy future

true love! Fate. 

The message of loving oneself! how the young Me tells that it's okay, and that she/he cares and loves!
- Why should i do the make up and hair, who cares.
- I care, the young you cares

God telling about flowers in the garden."i don't know what will bloom here, i can just give water, look at it, and wish for it's happiness, what will bloom here is the flower's part"
"you are a butterfly for my flowers, but you died for a flower, became a fertilizer and made a flower bloom, so you became a flower"
"i will give you a name, Kim Saram (human) now you can become human" 

• "i was closed in a dark house but then people started to knock on my door, without asking anything, they just started to give me food. Like people feed stray cats. Indifferent yet warm. Then they started asking me things, fix the tv, deliver the food, take on the counter in the shop for a bit. So they build the Chief Hong i am today"
• "not everyone has it smooth like you, some run on roads that are hard to pass, and some ran with all their might only to find themselves at the edge of a cliff, so don't judge them without knowing"
• "Where have you seen a life without rain! So what if you feel Uncomfortable and wet. When it's pouring you will get wet even if you use an umbrella. So at times like this, just say whatever and let it pour on you. Let's just have fun, with me."
• "there will not only be still days, sometimes there will be waves, sometimes typhoons but who cares, as we are together in one boat"
• "You don't need to worry about your every single step and match it with me, you are free to do what you want to do. you bought the necklace with the money you earnestly earned yourselves, so why are you looking at me and thinking i'll feel inferior to you because of that. I'm totally ok. Instead i made you this handmade present that you could put your necklace in"
• "what parents need to do for their children is just to stay healthy and live long, and not worry about asking money or anything. they just need to healthily and happily live long"
• " Success and Money are not everything is life. There are much more important things like Hapiness, Self empowerment, Peace, Love. Life is not a mathematical equation, there is no right answer. The life gives you a problem, but how to solve it is your choice"
  
  

how the sick people who were Zombies were good people, while the real monsters were "normal" people. How people with inner strength won against the illness and could suppress their thirst.  How happiness is in small everyday things.

this is actually girl power women empowerment story done right! unlike all the western media! I also loved how real was the revenge, and how kind and empathetic they were!

about trying hard for your dream
Iloved how she was told that the Times (shide (sede)) took away her dream, and the she was told that Times gave her a big opportunity to pursue her dream! <3 

This had so many great messeges about not going after questions without answers and instead doing what is right, right now. like not regretting the big stage you are not standing on, but standing on the smaller stage which is better than not doing it at all.
that if you wish for something it will come true one day in a most unexpected way.
The values of Loaylty. maaan, that boy he was just amazing! he not only saved her but he was looking for her for 15 years never lsoing hope always always doing it all! T_T his brother! he was amazing too! tsundere type who turned into the most honest person T_T realising that there are some things that you need to tell because otherwise the other one will never know.
Their new father. FATHER. he was the best T_T such a great father and mother T_T they were the best! the old father was scary but it was intresting to see him being all cramped in his own beliefs that were wrong and unable to see past them, in the end he spent his life for nothing and in the complete wrong. I love how the family was able to heal thanks to the new father. <3
yoon ranju XD well at first i didn't like her but i loved her healing story thanks to mokha.
and of course mokha. being the shonen/shojo manga protagonist, the Dreams, I can Do it, Nothing is impossible and simling all the way type she completely changed the people around her and in the company. And it was all just kind honesty.
while many people were blinded by jealousy, hate, greed, pain she was so open that it could open others too.
their running away as kids.
them unable to do anything because certain laws didn't exist in their time.

I wasn't sure to include this or not, The message is mostly about the revenge calling revenge like in naruto. 

This was the most beautiful drama about youth, about overcoming difficulties about undertanding each other, about having conversations, and about parents and children.
Like Yi Chan said if there is a heart, if there are feeling you want to express to someone, you will do anything to do it, with your expressions, or even learning a different language. Like his grandmother became friends with Chung Ha right away, while her father couldn't do it for years.
About the life of parents, and the understanding it brought of each other. About beauty, about passion and just about twinkling life!! panchak panchak <3
Absolutely beautiful! 

the way justice is served, Eye for eye. Though i dont think this is exactly eye for an eye, it's like paying back what's owed, Feeling on their own skin what it feels.
Plus this tackles real life cases which makes it a special drama

it's a movie but it absolutely deserves to be here <3 

true love. Everything west is trying to sell, like strong female lead and gentle man. But in a very right way and not distorted.
“Then I should give you a hug” - the most warm phrase ever said to comfort someone. Especially in this context.
how old beliefs worked, and shaped the world. How wrong beliefs were in the wrong place. How right beliefs were mixed with the wrong ones.
how an incompetent ruler brings “collective suffering”.  
“오랑캐한테 욕을 당한 건 제 잘못은 아닙니다. 그 일로 이혼을 요구하셨다면 저는 끝까지 물러나지 않았을 겁니다. 하지만.. 심양에서 이장현 나리께 마음을 준 일은 미안합니다. 해서 이혼하는 겁니다“
“난 그저 부인으로 족합니다. 가난한 길채, 돈 많은 길채, 발칙한 길채, 유순한 길채, 날 사랑하지 않는 길채, 날 사랑하는 길채. 그 무엇이든 난 길채면 돼.
(좋아요. 허면 오랑캐에게 욕을 당한 길채는…)
안아줘야지. 괴로웠을 테니.
많이 아팠지. 많이 힘들었지. 다 끝났소. 이제 아무 걱정하지 말아요. 난 이제 당신 곁에 있을 거야. 당신이 날 밀어내도 난 여기. 당신이 내게 싫증을 내도 난 여기 있겠소.”
“~(can you replace one, he says he just can’t look) of course I can replace him, what’s so hard about it, just because I don’t look, the captives won’t suddenly not get tortured. ”
“The humiliation of those people means that they should choose death, but humiliation of the kind is just “sadness”? Those people don’t choose death because they want to live, if they survive just one more day, they will be the winners of yesterdays pain”

True love. How unprepared people go to war, how an incompetent king makes people suffer. 들리느냐? 이 소리 꽃소리…분꽃이 피는소리…“
”'내가 미웠던 적이 있으시오?' 하고 물으니 답하셨지요? '그대가 나를 영영 떠나던 날 죽도록 미워 한참을 보았네. 헌데 아무리 보아도 미운 마음이 들지 않아 외려 내가 미웠어' 그리곤 제게 물으셨지요. '야속한 사람, 내 마음을 짐작이나 하였소?' 이제 말하건대. 차마 짐작치 못했습니다. 그저 내 마음이 천 갈래, 만 갈래 부서져 님만은 나 같지 마시라 간절히 바랄 뿐.“

This is mostly not about message, but about deep meaning.
The sun is shining brightly, and the clock that can not be wrong shows 12. And i start to wonder, Is it day or is it night?
also main reason that the ml kid in the village made all those people confuse reality and dream thinking that if they thought they are dreaming that one of the adults will actually help the kids. But sadly deep inside their hearts was mostly hatred towards themselves, rage towards others, blame, all that coming out they started killing themselves and each other while being happy and no one thought to help the kids... now is he the killer? is he evil? or are those people evil and killers? it is such a fine line here. and even though i hate grey things, this was making one think a lot.
The other part was how that 4th kid said ml should respect his choices but the ml said that "respect? a person who can't even see what's right or wrong, what respect?" I see meaning here as our world now goes on about respect towards all the weirdness but shows no basic respect towards a living being. The ML here was showing respect towards living beings but showed no respect towards their choices. I liked it a lot.
Mostly also this has a meaning because our world also will surly have such experiments...

I think this is the best drama for great messages about everyday life and just life and death in general in our everyday lives. Wonderful story. 

I think this is the best drama for great messages about everyday life and just life and death in general in our everyday lives. Wonderful story.

The start was strange, the end was sad, rather bittersweet. But it contained important messages. How both mom and the son will not hide their feelings behind the cold mask. should not. The letter she wrote him in the end, contained that message. and this one has so much meaning for mothers. I especially liked when she talked about lessons she learned every time she faced hardships, about precious things she saw when she fell.
Pigs are very clean animals, and very sad. Because they look at the ground their whole life. they can't turn their head. And the only way for them to see the sky is to fall. When they fall a whole new world opens before them, which they had no idea existed. People too, sometimes they have to fall to see a different world.
