1. Eternal Love
Chinese Drama - 2017, 58 episodes
Ok, I’m just gonna start off by saying the main couple’s romance was SO DAMN GOOD. Like seriously, I loved every relationship they had together regardless of which lifetime they were in. I loved Ye Hua’s quiet but confident demeanor. I loved SuSu’s gentle and kind nature. And I also loved Bai Qian’s straightforward and honest personality. The earlier half of the drama is a bit slow but it picks up at ep. 30 and then you’ll want to binge the rest.
Although I rated this a 10 because the main couple was just so damn good, I pretty much hated every other side couple (the side couple characters were too annoying and I couldn't stand them). It was pretty disappointing. However, some side characters that were not in a relationship, I really loved. Off the top of my head they were Si Ming, Zhe Yan, and Bai Zhen. Unfortunately all the villains in the show felt pretty 1 dimensional.
ANYWAYS, main leads have great chemistry and the romance is through the roof!
GO WATCH IT RIGHT NOW!

2. Flower of Evil
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
When you witness the love that the ml has for the fl develop and unfold throughout the course of the drama as it becomes increasingly intense and real ~
The romance is so heartwarming and full and vibrant that you're just cheering the ml and fl along the entire way through
Every hardship that the couple has to overcome - crying about the tragic past and present misunderstandings - and despite all this, having the love that the ml and fl have for each other shine through it all
What are you still doing here? Go grab some snacks and tissues and get to watching this amazing drama if you haven't already!

3. Scarlet Heart
Chinese Drama - 2011, 35 episodes
The actors were amazing.
The entire atmosphere throughout the series and the way you become so immersed in everyone's lives is unbelievable. Be warned though, a lot of sad stuff happens and you’ll be feeling heartbroken so grab the tissues and comfort food!
You'll be overwhelmed by the feels in this and you'll be crying and smiling throughout.

4. Lesson in Love
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Hey, if you just read the plot, you might think the show was damn weird, BUT it's actually very wholesome so yeah. The romance, though a bit farfetched and perhaps not that believable, is pretty nice. The character development is great as well which I really love. Anyways, this drama just gave me pleasant surprises as I progressed through it and it turned out to be pretty dang great so give it a watch :)

5. Copycat Killer
Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
HOLY. This was HEAVY. I am now stranded on an island of tissues and an ocean of tears... The CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. Man, I feel like I've been in romcom asian drama land for too long and this was some heavy, realistic, emotional, raw feelings. And it was a nice change, a breath of fresh air. The pacing was on point, I was invested in every step of this journey, there was never a boring moment. Perhaps it does drag at times, BUT, it's still interesting enough that it doesn't warrant any skipping through. The characters and the actors that acted them out were phenomenal. The OSTs were also on point, they fit the drama extremely well and I loved them. OK, now that I've finished praising this the entire time, if I had to point out the single bit I did not like... it was the damn villain. They made the villain too dramatic, to the point of ridiculousness. This was in sharp contrast to the very visceral and tragic events unfolding throughout the drama. That aside, the ending was alright. It wasn't a happy ending, moreso bittersweet I'd say, but I'll take it. I typed way too much... STOP READING AND GO WATCH THE SHOW!!!

6. Mr. Queen
Korean Drama - 2020, 20 episodes
Literally crying from laughing and gasping for air, send help pls

7. Kingdom
Korean Drama - 2019, 6 episodes
Great action. REALISTIC scenes and zombies.
I love the zombie genre but unfortunately there are very few that are well done without comedy being added in. This is serious and is a historical drama, but the key point is that it does not ignore the zombie aspect which is a huge plus.

8. Kingdom Season 2
Korean Drama - 2020, 6 episodes
Still so good!

9. Reset
Chinese Drama - 2022, 15 episodes
Hey, what can I say, I like time travel genre. The pacing is fantastic in this. It feels very realistic and relatable and you feel like you're right there with them. It actually very rarely got boring for me which is a HUGE plus because dramas can be a drag for me especially ones with more episodes. However, every episode in this was kept interesting because of the numerous reviving they did. So each 'life' was action packed, different and exciting. The side characters stories were also very interesting and not very draggy. Huge plus for that. Overall a very exciting drama.

10. Till the End of the Moon
Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes
ngl... I did not like the ml, but the overall plot was great along with stuff like ost's (not bad but nothing to write home about unlike LBFAD) and cgi (actually phenomenal, the cgi in this drama was just so well done and on another level - at least compared to other cdrama cgi). This is definitely romance focused, primarily only about ml and fl. I didn't really like any of the other side characters... literally cared for no one. I was just here for the fl. Villains were hella disappointing as well as the ending. Ending seemed so, idk, it just left me feeling like "that's it? really? this is the freaking end of this drama? bruh." so yeah. The romance and tragedy between fl and ml carried the show and I loved those parts.

11. Born Again
Korean Drama - 2020, 32 episodes
Bad guy as ml? yes please. fl falls for bad guy in the end? double yes please. Happy ending? oml, chef's kiss. hahaha but yeah, I just loved the premise of the plot and the romance wasn't half bad. one of the few dramas I've rewatched a second time

12. Train
Korean Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
Time travel done right

13. Mouse
Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
I mean, it's not THAT much of a twist but it's still a twist that leaves you thinking even after knowing it. IYKYK. Definitely leaves you feeling torn. Not so much sad (not sure how to word it but instead of feeling sad for them you feel bad for them, and I think? there's a difference) or anything but just thinking that shit happens in life and it's just unfortunate that it happened the way it did.

14. Sisyphus: The Myth
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
I'm a sucker for the genre/themes in this drama. Time travel? Trying to save your loved one(s) no matter how difficult and often you need to try? And it didn't help that the leads performed wonderfully here, especially Park Shin Hye (badass woman with a gun AND time travel, what more can you ask for). The Greek myth which was tied in to the drama aka sisyphus was nice. I also really liked all the side characters, except for mr. third wheel - leave the leads alone in their lovey dovey moments you freaking dingus! Also loved the mean old illegal downloader pops guy. Although he was a real abusive ass as you could see from the present/past, he didn't turn out that bad for his future self as you can see how much he cares for his employees though he doesn't show it much. Some letdowns were the villains. Both seemed a
bittoo pathetic and yeah... just pathetic. Anyways I'm rambling now. I just really love time travel + romance so this drama was literally perfect since I also liked both leads. -

18. The King's Woman
Chinese Drama - 2017, 48 episodes
I liked the actors and the king's character. Man of ice with a heart of fire. Second lead's character was written so poorly, he's just so damn incompetent. also, FUCK THE ENDING.
no seriously who the fuck came up with that ending damn it.

21. The Return of the Condor Heroes
Hong Kong Drama - 1983, 50 episodes
old childhood classic, this is THE BEST version of RotCH, I will fight you if you think otherwise. Nobody can beat Idy Chan's version of 小龍女 . She is so beautiful and charming and captivating in her portrayal of the character.
