Recommendations!

My very random list of recommendations for you! Mainly k-dramas on Netflix, but I threw in a few mainland Chinese dramas and at least one Japanese drama! Some of the shows might be on Rakutan Viki, which I think you can watch for free….

    “Noona Romance” - older woman/younger man. A lovely romance that also managed to touch on all sorts of aspects of Korean culture - biases against orphans, parental interference, sexism in the work place, the list goes on! And the food - the characters are always eating and drinking!! You’ll want beer and fried chicken when you’re done watching this!

    It’s a zombie drama! Set in the Joseon Era (16th century)! It is a bit gruesome, but it kept me engaged the entire time!

  • A Love So Beautiful

    Absolutely fluffy Chinese coming of age romance! Chinese Romantic dramas set in high school/college are an entire mood, and this is one of my favorites. It’s silly and sweet! The male lead is a textbook definition of a Tsundere! The Chinese version is better than the Korean version…

    I love this movie - it’s overly dramatic and super far fetched, but who cares! Also, they remade it in turkey and that version is great as well!
