Vilay!
Very random collection of K Dramas, mainland Chinese, Taiwanese and maybe a J Drama for good measure! I’m not including Itaweon Class, Business Proposal, Hometown Cha Cha Cha, Romance Is A Bonus Book, Goblin, or Our Beloved Summer - all are great, but I feel like you’ve probably watched them or at least have considered them!

1. A Beautiful Life

4. Put Your Head on My Shoulder
Chinese Drama - 2019, 24 episodes
A little bit of fluff! A Chinese university drama that I enjoyed, as did one of my new teachers!
-
5. A Love So Beautiful
Chinese Drama - 2017, 23 episodes
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…

6. The Red Sleeve

Quirky couple with their own baggage. Initially I didn’t love it, but as I progressed through the episodes it really grew on me!
