treasured gems ♡( ◡‿◡ )
a slightly chaotic list of my favourite films/dramas!
-
1. Confessions
Japanese Movie - 2010
-
2. Chungking Express
Hong Kong Movie - 1994
-
3. Last Sunrise
Chinese Movie - 2019
It deeply touched my heart in a way I wasn't expecting it to. Despite the world being filled with bad people and darkness and nothing but ice, there are still people out there that will help and that there are still things that will shine. So heartwarming in the saddest way TT

4. Save Me
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
I'm not gonna lie, this made me feel ~very~ uncomfy at times, but OH. MY. GOD. My heart has never beat so fast. This is what made me fall in love with the thriller genre and dark plot tag. The character development, cast and masterpiece plot are what made the show for me.

6. This Is Not What I Expected
Chinese Movie - 2017
My go to warm and fuzzy romcom - the plot is simple, but the cinematography and colour grading... magnificent. 'Boss' is the cutest, I want a Bull Terrier now :(

7. The Red Sleeve
Korean Drama - 2021, 17 episodes
Hands down the best Korean historical I've ever seen! I have never been so in love with a main couple in my entire drama loving life, Yi San and Sung Deok Im are the literal definition of soulmates and managed to perfectly portray their feelings through their eye acting, it was so enchanting to watch. Ugh the affection, the adoration, the determination, the tension, the anger, the frustration, the angst, the pain, the passion, THE FEELS!!

8. Someday or One Day
Taiwanese Drama - 2019, 13 episodes
Listen up I'm not kidding when I say that this is an absolute masterpiece. Easily the best trio, the chemistry and acting is immaculate from friendship to romance + the ost is perfect. Also the way Li Zi Wei looks at Huang Yu Xuan (╥_╥). He's SO ADORABLE, I've never taken so many screenshots of someones smile- anyway I don't think I'll be moving on from this anytime soon, so amazing!

13. Taxi Driver
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
The whole cast is top notch and so is the message, quality, the dialogues, everything is on point! Lee Je Hoon never disappoints, his acting is so diverse in TD, he's incredibly talented and it really shows. I couldn't help but swoon and absolutely fall head over heals for him, one minute he's an adorable teacher and the other he's a hot rich mafia type boss, man that's attractive!!

14. Extraordinary You

If I don't find a guy like haru, I'm not marrying anyone. -
