FAVORITE DRAMAS OF ALL-TIME

This is the best Asian drama I have ever seen. Li Buyi is the best male lead in C-Dramaland.

This drama is the reason I got into Chinese wuxia/historicals. Ye Hua + Bai Qian are the standard.

The best modern-day drama ever. 

TBD

My first K-Drama and still my favorite along with Vincenzo.

This drama was made for me and the amount of times I have seen this is no joke.

One of the best Korean dramas I have EVER seen! I will say if you do not like mafia-related movies or shows, THEN THIS IS NOT FOR YOU! Because Vincenzo Cassano gets down to business... he is with ALL THE SMOKE!

The most complete wuxia story. 

This was my first C-Drama. Although it is not my favorite modern-day Chinese drama anymore, the re-watchability is still through the roof. Xiao Nai is still the best modern-day male lead though.

Hilarious yet tragic. I love every minute of it.

For those of you who do not know, this drama is inspired by Gone with the Wind, which is one of the greatest romance movies of all time & one of my favorite movies. 

Namkoong Min as Lee Jang Hyun is the best K-drama character I have ever come across & tied for the best Asian drama character along with the amazing Ling Buyi from Love Like the Galaxy.

Ahn Eun Jin as Yoo Kil Chae goes through one of my favorite character developments in a K-Drama. From a spoiled, immature brat to a grown, mature woman who does what it takes to survive in harsh times to protect herself & her family. I will say she made me mad at the end of Pt. 1 & I was waiting for the "Frankly, I do not give a damn scene," but her actions were understandable.

My first Lee Minho drama & I was enamored with him.

My beloved Lee Joon Gi always shines so brightly.

This drama is a pure serotonin boost!  

A simple. lighthearted and fun drama with a lovable cast. Also, the chemistry between the leads was something to die for. There was nothing to hate about this drama. 

One of the best dramas ever. It was so emotionally rewarding. The acting, humor, OSTs & overall vibe of this drama is perfect! Yi Chan + Cheong Ah are one of my favorite couples & some of my favorite characters in K-Dramaland. They hold a SUPER special place in my heart!  

Min Young & Changwook are so unstoppable in here. This will always be her best drama to me.

The best thriller romance. 

You Are My Glory was a light, peaceful mature drama with no unnecessary breakups or drama. The main couple communicated so well and even though their careers were POLAR OPPOSITES, they supported each other dreams to help them get to the next level.

Luo Yunxi + Bai Lu owe me some money for the therapy sessions because from beginning to end this drama made my emotions go on an intense rollercoaster ride. I barely caught a moment to breathe when there were happy times in here then we were back to angst. 

Let's talk about Luo Yunxi as Tantai Jin. He is the BEST character in the show and low-key saved the whole show.  

There were so many storylines going on, but the acting, characters and their crazy adventures kept me engaged. 

First off, I was smitten with Jo In Sung with his charming self. I loved the way this drama tackled mental health. 

The most tragic and heartbreaking drama I have ever Chinese drama I have ever watched, but I would watch it again in a heartbeat, especially for Darren Wang's acting. 

TBD

Bai Lu + Luo Yunxi will always be the superior couple because of their chemistry. It is so undeniable. 

It is a school drama about a girl who hardcore pursues her crush and eventually gets him. It has one of the sweetest and most satisfying endings I have seen. 

A demoness plots revenge on the guy who she thought betrayed her. Bai Lu, the legend and my favorite, was introduced to me with this drama.

This K-Drama did thriller + suspense so well. It was my first drama with Seo in Guk & Park Bo Gum and they completely sold me. Their bromance was so sad yet endearing. 

Great bromance, OST + the romance was beautiful to see unfold. 

It was a fun + wholesome drama filled with all the sweet cliches I love in a romantic comedy. Yeo Mi Ran  + Nam Kang Ho progression from enemies to lovers was both hilarious and so romantic. I loved how mature their love was  & there were no misunderstandings once they got together!!! Thank goodness!! The bromance & the sisterships were top-tier. The soundtrack elevated every scene and great acting from the 3 main leads!  I can see myself re-watching this when I am in a drama rut!

Two sisters navigating through the Heavenly + Demon worlds. This was unexpectedly good. 

This is the BEST friend-to-lover romance, especially because the chemistry of Park Seo Joon & Kim Ji-won is sensational & out of this world. Plus, the humor here is top-tier.

My beloved Dong Hua's + Fengjui's love story.

NiNi is such an amazing actress. I never thought I would love a FL as much as I love Bai Qian, but NiNi as Ling Xi is so perfect. Lingxi is one of my favorite female leads so far. I love her spunky & naive spunky personality. Also, I love how she was gradually able to melt his cold heart.

As for the male lead, I did not think Jiuchen was handsome enough for me to keep on watching this show, but he grew on me. & I liked his character.  

The leads really took me my surprise with their chemistry.

Leo carried this drama on his back & took it to another level. This was the 1st time I met Zhao Lu Si, one of my favorite C-Actresses.

An amazing fantasy drama about Death falling in love. Seo In Guk looked so handsome in here.

The OST for this drama made my heart ache in a good way. My gal Shin Hye Sun shines with whatever she does & her chemistry with Ahn Bo Hyun was the cherry on top.

King the Land is how romantic comedies should be done. Of course, it was filled with all the usual K-Drama cliches that you can think of, and of course, there were corny + cheesy parts but it all worked for the most part.

A hauntingly. beautiful drama that breaks your heart throughout, but there is light at the end of the tunnel towards the end. 

This puts you through an emotional rollercoaster & teaches you to value your life and make the most out of it. The ending was so satisfying! 

 

A mostly fun drama with some dark elements that affected the ending... not in a bad way. Neo Hu was so hot + cute at the same time.  Zhou Ye was just my type of female lead and I am adding all of her dramas to my list. The leads had the most adorable chemistry and their dynamic with the supporting was hilarious but endearing

This drama should be called 'The Betrayed Princess" because pretty much everyone she loved betrayed her to get ahead except 3-4 people. Also, Prince Helan is such a charming devil. I cannot help but like him.  

Great friendships & the chemistry between the leads was so cute. I do not understand much about e-sports stuff, but the finale was super exciting to watch. This is my first Yang Yibo drama & I am in love already. Cute drama.

This is similar to Go Back Couple & teaches the lesson to be careful what you wish for because the grass might not be greener on the other side.

 If you do not like messy love stories, do not watch this is semi-toxic.  

A very well-written drama about 2 people who can see the future.

A story about a guy falling in love with a girl who is a super stan of guy in a K-pop group.

One of the best historical dramas (with fantasy) that Korea will ever make. Pt. 2 will always remain superior to me because of the chemistry of the leads.

It is about a guy who has to live multiple lives since he played in Death's face. It teaches you a lesson to be grateful for your life and make the best of it. Prepare your tissues because the ending is extremely emotional,

A guy & his mentor plan revenge against corrupt politicians. This was a very engaging drama where I cared more about the revenge than the romance. 

A cold-hearted man receives a heart transplant of a warm & loving person, which helps to soften him & he falls in love with the woman of the man's heart he received. Jung Kyung Ho absolutely stole my heart in this one.
