Pretty On My TV: Best HD

I have a 4K Philips 65" TV, and I love a drama that streams in higher quality 1080p or higher. Even in this era, not all new dramas look their best on larger TVs, or maybe the platform isn't getting the best version (looking at you, Hotel Del Luna on Viki.) So, I'm building a list of dramas I'm watching/thinking of watching that look amazing on larger TVs based on my tests. Note: HD quality (720p or higher) on streaming sites depends on your detected internet speed, unless you force a higher quality in the app.

I know, I know - it's the drama's quality that counts, not the picture, right? Well  sometimes I need to pour a glass of wine and watch something pretty.

I'll also note where I'm streaming it, and probably one of the following:

  • Official Youtube channels. Some older shows (~2014+) even look pretty good on the official Chinese channels, so I'll note those. Note most newer GMM TV dramas (2018+) look fantastic streamed from their YT channel, so I won't list most of them.
  • Viki (Roku box or Android TV)
  • Netflix (Roku box or Android TV). Most content looks pretty good, and many titles often have 5.1 surround sound.
  • iQiyi app (to get the app on my android TV box, I had to copy the APK from my phone and sideload (manually install) it to my Android TV. The app starts in a weird skinny portrait mode, but as soon as you click the fullscreen icon, it expands and goes fullscreen. Most shows on the iQiyi app are drool-worthy 1080p or 4K, but alas, many have bad machine-translated subs, so I'll only note those with real English subs.
