Hi! I've been a fan of Asian dramas for a long time and watched them through my teen years instead of the local stuff they showed on TV. I like all sorts of shows but the historical genre is my favorite.

I rate shows based on how I feel right after watching. My taste and tolerance for certain tropes have naturally changed over time. You can check out my favorites list for a more accurate and concise list of my ultimate faves.

First Japanese Drama: Dragon Zakura (sadly, I barely remember it -that was around 2006- though I do remember liking it a lot)
First Korean Drama: Goong (I've watched it many, many times since that first time. Though I know now that it's not the best drama made ever, it has a special place in my heart for being my first K-drama)
First Taiwanese Drama: Hana Kimi remake (a little meh but still likable)
First Chinese Drama: Startling By Each Step (I'm glad I picked this because it was both beautiful and sad)

Previous drama challenges:  (I now keep track of shows I watch through my lists)
