Favorite dramas
These dramas are all wonderful in my opinion. For me dramas doesn't have to have big budget with oustanding cinematography (but ofc that would still be a huge plus!) What matter for me the most is a strong interesting plot with complex well rounded characters.
the dramas here has affected me emotionally the most. In no particular order

1. Mars
Taiwanese Drama - 2004, 13 episodes
Amazing chemistry between the leads (No wonder since they dated IRL during that time) a dark and serious drama that takes up sensitive subjects such as rape and mental illness. What this drama lacks in budget (made in early 2000s) it makes up for the amazing plot, characters etc. one of the best love stories EVER

2. The Princess's Man
Korean Drama - 2011, 24 episodes
Intense and what a emotional roller coaster. Often called the ”Joseon version of Romeo and Juliet. ” this one has everything I could ask for; epic romance, betrayal, pain, loyalty... Characters with lots of depth... and one of the best female leads in dramaland !!

3. Queen In Hyun's Man

A sweeping romance between an actress in modern time and a Scholar from Joseon era who travels to modern time and meets the actress, and of couese they fall in love. Sizzling chemistry between the leads (they dated IRL too, but broke up) and one of the most romantic dramas I ever seen! A must watch for all romance fans:)

5. Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake
Japanese Drama - 1998, 12 episodes
Beautiful and touching... they Dont make japanese dramas like this anymore, Sadly. This drama is bold in that way that this one actually deals with HIV/AIDS.. and the one effected by it is just a High schooler to boot. Be prepared to use lots of tissuses, this drama is so much more than just a love story.

6. Soot Sanaeha
Thai Drama - 2009, 16 episodes
This lakorn is just so delicious. I know Anne and Ken were once a very popular on screen couple that has starred in many lakorns together. They have definitely great chemistry! Anne who plays the female lead here is so sassy and cool. Love her. Ken who plays the male lead is so sweet and caring. They compliment each other so well~

This one is hard to watch, especially since its based on true story. If you are not in mood to cry, then avoid this to all costs!! This drama is the SADDEST i ever seen, but I think everyone should watch this drama at least once in their lifetime. This drama is very beautiful and touching with many heartwarming moments. . And also many important life lessons
