1. Dear Herbal Lord
Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
(Free on Iqiyi)
Hyper fluffy even if FL has a childish voice because she is a sweet young flower. Funny and lots of kisses. - u/perua4 in a Reddit discussion thread 8/27/23

2. Extraordinary You
Korean Drama - 2019, 32 episodes
I love the ML here, so sweet, such a handsome young guy!
Cinematography is perfectly used to give a dreamy, foggy, romantic atmosphere to this drama. The drama has also a global feeling of naivety of the first love.
There is a second lead but he never got a chance anyway. He is the one more cliché (rich, overbearing), not our ML.
The plot: FL discovers she is a character from a manga (very similar content to the cliché drama Boys Over Flowers) and the worst, she is a secondary character. She will fall in love with a character without any importance, he even does not have a name. And we will laugh a lot with jokes about the dramas tropes through the parody of Boys Over Flowers . - u/perua4 in a Reddit discussion thread 8/27/23

3. Lost Romance
Taiwanese Drama - 2020, 20 episodes
One of my great favorite romances for sure. Here FL falls in coma and goes to the world of the book she is editing to be the antagonist of FL (female vilain). As ML has the same looks as the guy she has a crush in real life, she decides to change the game in order to become the FL of the story.
Besides being very romantic, it is so steamy (OMG, I wish we had more dramas as hot as this one) that makes my heart flutter, and also very funny (with some action). Second Male Lead is adorable yet only loves FL in the dream world but he will have a very happy ending. I found the first episode less interesting and felt the story started to heat as things start to happen in the dream world. However I skipped most parts about ML’s rich family issues because it was heavy and boring in my pov. Do not hesitate to do the same
FL is the most audacious I have ever seen in the asian drama world. She’s smart, straightforward and funny.
If you like handsome guys, you will be so happy. ML, 2ML, ML’s brother and even FL’s boss are pretty! For me, Lost Romance is a kind of Disneyland (terminology taken from FL’s funny words) of Dramas and these actors are the flowers. Though 2ML is adorable and so handsome, my eternal crush is Marcus Chang (since I watched this drama for the first time). He plays in this drama two versions of a character and I love very much the "real life" version of the CEO. Futhermore his voice while speaking and singing several beautiful songs from the OST. - u/perua4 in a Reddit discussion thread 8/27/23

4. Love Better Than Immortality
Chinese Drama - 2019, 40 episodes
Through science, FL travels from the future to a world in the past (wuxia) and gets entangled with two sect leaders, one who seems to be a "good" guy and the other seems to be the "evil" one. I really enjoyed this one. - u/perua4 in a Reddit discussion thread 8/27/23

A trilogy where main leads travels between different worlds. FL is strong and funny, ML is cold at the beginning. Lots and lots of steamy kisses along the three seasons.
In the first season FL’s soul goes from modern times to the body of a future princess in a different world with martial arts where people wear costumes. She actually will share the body of a woman with the same physical appearence she has and eventually she and the prince will fall in love, get married and they will continue to travel between worlds trough funny adventures and some hardships.

23. The Romance of Tiger and Rose
Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
Our FL is a screenwriter and she travels to a parallel world of her drama as a vicious womanand ML is supposed to kill her. This world is different from ours where women are the rulers. It is a great production, good actors, well written plot, very funny, steamy and fluffy. A feel good drama! Really excellent to relax. Hope the promised second season will come soon even if the ending was well tied. One of my preferred light-hearted chinese dramas. - u/perua4 in a Reddit discussion thread 8/27/23

26. Unique Lady
Chinese Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
if you loved The Eternal Love
Another costume drama where a modern girl enters in a parallel world, in this case a computer game where she has to find love among four handsome guys. She’s strong, funny and feminine. I had a great crush for the 2ML, he was even more handsome in the second season with the outfits for his new "situation". She had a good chemistry with the male leads. The story is funny and light-hearted. - u/perua4 in a Reddit discussion thread 8/27/23

29. W
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
ML is a hero from a comic book, so clichés must be forgiven. The actor is the same as the ML of While You Were Sleeping, he is so cute, isn’t he? 0
Our FL enters the world of the comic book her father is writing to become its main female character. I think it is overall very creative and high quality drama, though I skipped some of the thriller parts because it does not fit my taste completely. Funny, romantic, steamy, with some action and mystery. - u/perua4 in a Reddit discussion thread 8/27/23
