As someone who has been watching on-off a bunch of dramas (korean, japanese, a few from thailand, one or two chinese, etc.) in the past few years, I am quite curious about other people's favorites. I think what kind of dramas you watch or love can say quite a bit about you. So let me know! In my case, there are a lot BUT some I can mention on the spot are: Beyond Evil Sweet Home (s1) The Boy Next Door Inspector Koo Strangers from Hell Suiyobi 22-ji dake no Kare First love: Hatsukoi So. What are yours? As long as they are from Asia, it's fine for them to be mentioned.
I enjoyed most of the above! Some off the top of my head are "The glory", "D.P." , "Joy of life", "The Story of Ming Lan", "Story of Yanxi Palace", "The girl from nowhere"( although not seen s2), "Taxi Driver", "Juvenile Justice", "All of us are dead".. Plenty more but can't really think at this very moment
I use to be an avid romcom watcher, still am, just not as much, but here's some: - Our Beloved Summer (Second chance, angst, cute, reverse grumpyXsunshine, enemies to lovers) - Lighter and Princess (Enemies to lovers, Highschool, Coding) - Crash Landing On You (Sk vs Nk, Strangers to lovers) - Soundtrack #1(Friends to lovers) - When I Fly Towards You (Highschool, strangers-friends-lovers, cute, friendships) - Fireworks of My Heart (Angst, second chance, adulthood)
Black (2017), Tunnel (2017), Liar Game (2007), Extraordinary Attorney Woo (2022), Weak Hero Class 1 (2022)
Omg this was my first k-drama, I loved it so much! It was so funny and it had a great ending My favorites are: Strong Girl Bong Soon Mr.Sunshine The Glory Black Ashes of Love Eternal Love Love 020 Meteor Garden The Girl from Nowhere All of Us Are Dead Mr. Queen Extraordinary Attorney Woo While You Were Sleeping And of course, a classic (though it’s slightly problematic), Boys Over Flowers
Strong Girl Bong Soon definitely I forgot the title but I also enjoyed the K-drama with a FL lawyer. Eternal Love, probably my most rewatched C-drama I enjoyed the following drama as well: Dream High (the 1st, with Suzy as the FL) Perfect Match aka Personal Taste Winter Sonata Stairway to Heaven Cinderella's Stepsister Vagabond (2019) Uncontrollably Fond (2016) Still, recent to me will be: Put your head on my shoulder I Like You So Much, You’ll Know It Unforgettable Love
Oh man, I like so many!! Let's see.. My top ones are Alice in Borderland (s1 & s2), the untamed, word of honor, under the skin, the entire high&low series (expect season 2), the lost tomb series, and cherry magic.
I love survival stuff. I also just like cute friend groups in dramas. Im not really interested in just romance dramas. Korean All of us are dead Happiness Sweet home Night has come Duty after school Revenge of others The penthouse Chinese Go ahead When i fly towards you Thai Home school Japanese Alice in borderland Pending train
Now, I am curious. What can you say about a person from the Asian dramas they love? Mine are, Cherry Magic! Memories of Alhambra You Are Beautiful කූඹියෝ (Ants)
I have a lots of favourites, but here's some: Koukou Kyoushi (2003) - This was my very first tv-drama in 2003 Beautiful Life One Million Stars Falling From The Sky Gannibal The Untamed The Legends Word of Honor Winter Begonia Attic Cat Mawang Death's Game You Are Beautiful
Only two I've really watched but both I do like are: Our Shining Days (about a Chinese music school where it's the competitiveness between traditional Chinese instruments vs traditional western instruments). Golden Eye (Chinese pawnshop owner gets injured and gets supervision such ad x-ray, magnifying etc) With the Our Shining Days series, I first watched the film version then it got redone as a series.
I don't watch many TV series in any language but I liked "Class of Lies" and "Live". Both of them are Korean mystery shows but are completely different.
