I don't remember much from this drama because it's been a long time, but I distinctly remember being amazed by her acting here and ever since then, the more i watch from her, the more she rose to become my favorite actress of all time. 

Where i first saw and fell in love with her:

https://mydramalist.com/30769-cry-me-a-sad-river

Because this movie has a heavy drama, you know acting is going to be a big part and she really nailed it. After watching this movie, I immediately went on MDL and started watching her other works

My current favorite work from her:

https://mydramalist.com/60575-stay-with-me

I rewatched this immediately the next day because i fell in love with this movie

Where i fell in love with her:

https://mydramalist.com/8320-koi

I love it when an Actress can do romance with the same sex, because that goes to show their versatility (I not saying that's the only way to show their versatility). Though this movie is your Japan does Japan r18 things, I wouldn't say I liked this movie, It's kinda like my guilty pleasure, but I love Satomi's performance here.

My Current favorite work from her portfolio:

https://mydramalist.com/33106-heaven - very dumb fun show. Ishihara is playing a Restaurant owner here and you can tell she's enjoying playing the role.

https://mydramalist.com/32362-love-of-my-life

If you've watched this drama, you know that part where she watched this Old Angel Man got decimated in front of her wife who is a Human and she imagined herself being in that position watching Kim Dan getting decimated if he ever gets caught having a relationship with a Human by the Heaven... ooooff!! Her acting during that scene still gets me till to this day

I honestly don't like Slice of Life & Medical dramas, I find them to be boring, but I'm still amazed even to this day that i managed to sit through and finished watching this, just goes to show how much I love this actress.

I'm telling you, at first I did not find her that pretty, I even said to myself "Ehhh! she's just your typical chinese beauty" and then I started to fell for her acting, but I'm still in denial, but she's just such a great actress that I couldn't resist.

I also noticed in that drama, whenever she acts bubbly/goofy it really brings a smile to my face, so i thought "this girl.... this actress would probably be able to do well in a comedy-drama and would be able to pull off a funny role" so i watched her first drama series which has a heavy comedy in it. And yeah, i was right. She's a versatile actress.

My current favorite work from her portfolio:

https://mydramalist.com/22472-fight-for-my-way - as yes the classic. Her acting here is so good and she's very cute as well. The duality at its finest.

My current favorite work from her portfolio:

https://mydramalist.com/33704-persona - Acting at its finest and here you can a lot of her sides as this drama showcases a lot of different stories, so she was given the stage to be able to show her versatility.

https://mydramalist.com/68429-the-lighter-and-the-princess-gown

I just watched it randomly on Netflix, because it showed up as i scrolled down. Easily my favorite cdrama... YET, but i wouldn't say it's my favorite work from her because this drama has it's own flaws too, but it's really really good, I still need to watch her other works to decide. Go watch Lighter & Princess!

Easily my favorite drama from her:

https://mydramalist.com/40743-sweet-and-sour

It's such a good movie. I'm not gonna spoil what happens, but go watch it!!! I've already rewatched this like 3-4 times already

Where i first saw and fell in love with her:

https://mydramalist.com/33449-kaguya-sama-love-is-war - I've already known her through social media, but this is the first drama that i've watched from her and i fell in love since then

My favorite work from her:

https://mydramalist.com/17109-haruta-chika - I don't remember much from the movie xD All i know is its about music shit and i distinctly remember when i finished watching it i said to myself "Yep! Favorite Kanna Hashimoto Work"

Where i first saw and fell in love with her:

https://mydramalist.com/734891-so-many-years - This drama just appeared on the front page of the pirate site where I pirate dramas that are not on Netflix. So I downloaded it and watched it. I did not have any expectations when I watched this movie, but I've been blown away by how good it is. Loved her acting here, it's really good.

I watched her other work, which is the remake of 'I'm Not a Robot' and this me judging her as an actress overall just from these 2 Dramas, from what I observed, even though she has that cutesy type of face, I'm not feeling her bubbly acting, I think she does great in melo serious stories... I don't know... I still need to watch her other works to get a good sense of her strengths.

Where i first saw her:

Where i first saw and fell inlove with her:

https://mydramalist.com/58781-more-than-blue

Man, at first she did not caught my attention, but as i watch through that drama, i fell in love with her deeper and deeper. Now, i have a trauma where every time i see her cry on screen, i automatically cry as well. Easily the saddest drama that I've ever seen.

Where I first saw, fell in love and easily my favorite work from her:

https://mydramalist.com/13816-real

The plot of the Movie is pretty weird towards the end or maybe even weird from start to the end. It starts off okay, but it gets pretty confusing as you go through. I watched it 3 times already and I probably understand it?? but at the same time I don't understand it.

Anyway, Loved her performance even though the movie is mind boggling, but i can easily rewatch it just to see her acting, I even cried when her character died (spoiler) because it hurts my heart so much.  So sad that we can't see any works from her in the future :(

Where i first saw her:

https://mydramalist.com/22021-bleeding-steel

I don't think she really did that much in the movie or maybe i just did not notice.  I watched this because it's a Jackie Chan film, but Nana still caught my attention when she appeared.

Where i fell in love with her:

https://mydramalist.com/28560-the-great-ruler

Even though i did not like this drama overall, I still love the vision that they are going for and I still fell in love with her in here, not because of her acting (I think she did bad here), but as an actress Overall (probably because she's pretty)

My Favorite work from her:

https://mydramalist.com/22827-secret-fruit

Even though she was way younger here when she did this, I think she did great here with Chen Fei Yu. The movie is good, it's your typical school romance, but with heavy family drama in it. It's probably a 50-50 if you're gonna like it or not.

Where i first saw and fell in love with her:

https://mydramalist.com/33075-strangers-from-hell

She didn't have that much screen time here, but when she's on screen I loved every second of it

Where i first saw her and fell inlove:

https://mydramalist.com/697877-cuo-liao

Oh my god i was starstruck when i first saw her here, she was soooo pretty and hot. She's one of those actresses who always play the bestfriend and you just brush them off, but when you actually watch their works, you'll realize you are missing out on a gem. Her acting was really good and then i fell inlove hahaha

My current favorite work her:

https://mydramalist.com/680293-extraordinary-medic - Although she's not the main, her acting here is really good and the way she delivers her lines is so soothing.

Where i first saw her:

https://mydramalist.com/54923-girl-s-world

Where i fell in love with her acting:

https://mydramalist.com/754173-tvn-o-pening-summer-love-machine-blues

This one is pretty recent, but I can see the jump of improvement from her acting here. I liked her already when i first discovered her acting side, but i fell in love with her as an actress even more here.

Where i first saw her:

https://mydramalist.com/729705-hidden-love

I really love her performance here, she's such a versatile actress. Though i wouldn't say i fell in love with her acting... YET. I need to watch her other works to decide, but I already like her, that's why she's on this list. 

Where i first saw and fell in love with her:

https://mydramalist.com/682945-contract-love-from-today

This drama just randomly popped up on my youtube and I love it! Ever since then I've been looking forward to see her in every drama that she's in.

Where i first saw her:

https://mydramalist.com/61427-zhu-yan

When I saw her here, I was like "This girl is pretty, but I feel like because this drama is historical, the costume is not doing any justice to her beauty" But I loved her performance here, even though she's not the main female lead.

I watched Fireworks of My Heart after and yep, she's really beautiful, but I'm not sold on her acting yet because I feel like in Fireworks she was being held by the role that she had to play, I feel like she had more to give, but just couldn't do it.

Where i fell in love with her acting:

https://mydramalist.com/680897-painted-skin

It's a 31min film so I didn't really have any expectations, I just wanted to see wang churan. In the beginning, I already noticed something was different with her acting, then later on this sad scene appeared and I was blown away by how she cried in that scene, I really felt that deep in my heart. Then I was like "Okay, now I'm sold with your acting" because where has she been hiding this??? Whoever is the director of this film, thank you. Mind you this was 3 years before FOMH and TLP, but I loved the way she exudes the sad emotion here than in her recent works, so feel like it's the role and the directing that's holding her back.

Her role is pretty minor here, but she still managed to catch my attention when she appeared.

Where i fell in love with her:

https://mydramalist.com/28616-kakugo-wa-iika-soko-no-joshi

There is where i realized like "Yep! I am in love with this actress" so now i've been looking forward to see her on screen.

Where i first saw her:

https://mydramalist.com/700087-after-school-war-activities

I actually knew about her already because she's friends with Kang Hyewon from IZ*ONE and when I knew she was in a popular drama, I immediately watched it. Loved her performance here, she's pretty badass, but I still need more from her to be convinced in her acting

Where I discovered her:

https://mydramalist.com/64449-decision-to-break-up

I actually watched this because of RM from BTS and yep! it was actually a very good movie. I loved her acting here, I did not expect that she's actually chinese, she kinda looked like Jisoo from Blackpink at times.

Where i first saw and fell in love with her:

https://mydramalist.com/715503-mask-girl

I just loved her performance here, I think she is a pretty good actress and badass as well. Talk about stage presence.

Where i first saw her:

https://mydramalist.com/49241-falling-into-your-smile

Girl!!! You are sooo pretty!! She's such a good supporting actress, I wish she could get a main role in a Rom-Com because i feel like she would do well.

Where i first saw her:

https://mydramalist.com/30499-the-youthful-you-who-was-so-beautiful

I actually don't remember seeing her here, I thought i first saw her in '1921'.

Where i fell in love with her:

https://mydramalist.com/724693-my-tomorrow-your-yesterday - She did really great here

My Current favorite work from her:

https://mydramalist.com/754387-legend-of-the-female-general - mulan type shit!!! If you like the classic mulan animated movie, you'll definitely like this one. Her portrayal here of what its like to be a woman who does men stuff is peak. Its not too in your nose women empowerment and was handled carefully.

Where i first saw her:

https://mydramalist.com/31691-naked-director

I actually don't remember seeing her here xD I probably have to go back and see what role did she play. But this is the first JDrama that i've ever liked, where i thought the acting and production is pretty good.

Where i fell in love with her acting... probably between:

https://mydramalist.com/26025-call-boy

or

https://mydramalist.com/19998-anti-porno

She really did great in 'Call boy', playing the role of a Mute person and that's what sold me with her acting, but she also showed her versatility in 'Anti-Porno' playing a cuckoo author/artist which i was like "Ghaaaad! she's such a good actress". I watched Call boy first and then I watched Anti-porn the next day.

Where is first saw her:

https://mydramalist.com/43843-the-witch-part-2 - although there wasn't much room for her to showcase her capabilities are, she still caught my attention here and she's oozing with so much potential base on her performance.

Where i fell in love with her acting:

https://mydramalist.com/790594-even-if-this-love-disappears-from-the-world-tonight - taking on a sad film would definitely give you a chance to showcase your skill to deliver emotions on screen and she definitely managed to do that here.
