[❤] Favourite Dramas/Movies

Since I always struggle to choose my favourites this list contains all of the dramas that are positively memorable for me, and because I remember them I consider them favourites in a way. I wouldn't say all are ground-breaking but I like them enough that I'd happily re-watch them, ignore the silly little "drama must follow stupid trope to continue on"  and I'd recommend them.

  • Atashinchi no Danshi

    1. Atashinchi no Danshi

    Japanese Drama - 2009, 11 episodes

    8.5

    That over the top silliness is forever my one of favourite things about Japanese dramas and this fits that category perfectly.

  • Bitter Blood

    2. Bitter Blood

    Japanese Drama - 2014, 11 episodes

    9.0

    The chaotic, overexaggerated comedy duo of a father-son who don't really like each other solving (fairly easy) crimes was on point. Plus the side characters really blended well.

  • Bokura wa Kiseki de Dekite Iru

    3. Bokura wa Kiseki de Dekite Iru

    Japanese Drama - 2018, 10 episodes

    9.0

    Sometimes you need something relaxing and this the perfect drama for it. It's a nice relaxing drama about loving yourself for who you are. 

  • Circle

    4. Circle

    Korean Drama - 2017, 12 episodes

    10

    The twists and turns in this are great! I love how it presents both the present and the past even if it takes a bit of getting used to at first.

  • Eulachacha Waikiki

    5. Eulachacha Waikiki

    Korean Drama - 2018, 20 episodes

    9.0

    This is a great almost sitcom-y drama that is wonderful for when I just need some silly, mindless shenanigans and a good laugh.

  • Fuben na Benriya

    6. Fuben na Benriya

    Japanese Drama - 2015, 12 episodes

    8.0

    Honestly it deserves bonus points just for achieving the Guinness world record, never mind being a great mix of slice of life and comedy.

  • Great Men Academy

    7. Great Men Academy

    Thai Drama - 2019, 8 episodes

    8.5

    It's corny and follows a lot of cliché troupes but it's still fun. It adds a fresh feeling to the guy is actually a girl troupe imo. 

  • Hanazakari no Kimitachi e

    8. Hanazakari no Kimitachi e

    Japanese Drama - 2007, 12 episodes

    10

    I'd read the manga and was iffy on the silly approach but there's nothing like this drama! It's funny and very re-watchable.

  • Hello Monster

    9. Hello Monster

    Korean Drama - 2015, 16 episodes

    9.0

    This one had an interesting dynamic between Lee Hyun, Jung Su Ho and Lee Jun Ho that sticks out to me to this day.

  • Kasane

    10. Kasane

    Japanese Movie - 2018

    8.0

    Whilst the ending was a tad confusing, the two actresses' make a fine duo of complete opposites trying to live in each other's lives by borrowing each other's faces.

  • Kiss Me

    11. Kiss Me

    Thai Drama - 2015, 20 episodes

    9.0

    My favourite of the whole Itazura Na Kiss remakes. TenTen actually seemed like an approachable human being in comparison to the other versions. 

  • Liar Game

    12. Liar Game

    Japanese Drama - 2007, 11 episodes

    9.5

    It's almost like a puzzle on my TV which makes it fun for me to watch. Add the 2nd season too, which I consider even better than this in ways.

  • Ma Boy

    13. Ma Boy

    Korean Drama - 2012, 3 episodes

    8.0

    The girl is actually a boy is a fun idea! It's one of those sweet candy dramas that is great to fill the time when I'm feeling bored of dramas.

  • My Father Is Strange

    14. My Father Is Strange

    Korean Drama - 2017, 52 episodes

    9.5

    52 episodes is a fearsome number but the cast of this drama is so strong that it makes you forget it's 52 episodes long. 

  • My Girlfriend's Boyfriend

    15. My Girlfriend's Boyfriend

    Chinese Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

    9.0

    A bit of a slow start but the chaos of this is great! It's just how I like it: funny, light and silly.  Apply that to the 2nd season as well!

  • Ouran High School Host Club

    16. Ouran High School Host Club

    Japanese Drama - 2011, 11 episodes

    10

    I was wholly impressed they made this so good! The anime and manga were fantastic and this was a wonderful addition. 

  • Strangers from Hell

    17. Strangers from Hell

    Korean Drama - 2019, 10 episodes

    9.0

    A nicely paced, dark and intriguing drama. This has to have one of the creepiest villains of drama land so far.

  • Tensai Tantei Mitarai: Nankai Jiken File - Kasa wo Oru Onna

    18. Tensai Tantei Mitarai: Nankai Jiken File - Kasa wo Oru Onna

    Japanese Special - 2015, 1 episode

    9.0

    This is about 2hs long and felt very Sherlock Holmes-esque, which I really enjoy that style. I wish they made this into a series!

  • The Movie: Final Fantasy XIV Hikari no Otousan
    8.5

    This movie was just heart-warming. Nothing really happened, but I enjoyed watching the day to day life of the family as the son tried to get to know his silent dad.

  • Thirty but Seventeen

    20. Thirty but Seventeen

    Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes

    9.0

    It's such a tragic story yet it was presented so adorably. I also love Gong Woo Jin actually respects Woo Seo Ri's opinions and choices. 

  • Todome no Kiss

    21. Todome no Kiss

    Japanese Drama - 2018, 10 episodes

    9.5

    The romance isn't that strong but the story and how it progresses is. My time travelling loving self loved this!

  • Tori Girl

    22. Tori Girl

    Japanese Movie - 2017

    9.0

    Whilst a tad slow start, the Tom and Jerry-like duo of Tsuchiya Tao and Mamiya Shotaro make the hilarious hijinks in this movie enjoyable and silly.

  • Who Are You: School 2015

    23. Who Are You: School 2015

    Korean Drama - 2015, 16 episodes

    7.5

    This drama is a true SLS. Although it had dips here and there I still liked watching Lee Eun Bi's development play out.

  • You're Beautiful

    24. You're Beautiful

    Korean Drama - 2009, 16 episodes

    8.5

    Does it deserve such a high rating? Probably not. But it's funny, fun and memorable in a lot of ways that other dramas are not so it has a high rating in my heart.

  • Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty

    25. Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes

    9.0
