Thank you so much!!

What life, hahaha. No but really, I have no social life anymore after discovering dramas but I'm kinda okay with it ? However thanks to Korean dramas and entertainment shows I can now grasp most of Korean conversation without needing subtitles. That's what five years of watching Korean entertainment does to you *raises shoulders*. Though most of the time I look the a panda thanks of them. Either way I'm happy. Thank you for lovely article. These dramas had me craving the food so much as well. Korean cuisine really is delicious.

They are honestly very enjoyable. Just as when I discovered Korean dramas, you get to discover a whole new world.
In my eyes, Chinese (and Taiwanese) dramas are more down to earth and less toxic than Korean dramas. Emphasis on certain clichés feels less and most important of all: they're funny as heck. Relatable things happen. Jokes and friendships are cleverly and heartwarmingly written into the scripts. Whereas in Korean dramas they tend to lie more on jealousy between (same aged) people. Of course since there are exceptions. This does not count for every Chinese or Taiwanese dramas but these are few of the main reason why I enjoy watching Chinese and Taiwanese dramas.
I have yet to check out Hong Kong dramas but experiencing something new I hadn't known before, makes me happy.

I hope this answered your question :)

You convinced me. This is going on my planning to watch list.
Edit: I couldn't stop myself and started watching immediately! It's so good! Thank you for the recommendation. I'm a fan now.

Thank you for the reply ^^ It's a lovely article.

1. Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo was amazing on it's own, each one of the OST's made the drama 10 times better. It's been four years, but I still listen to and Epik High ft. Lee Hi's 'Can you hear my heart' and CBX's 'For you' on a regular basis.

2. Though I didn't watch the drama School: 2015 itself, 'Reset' by Tiger JK ft. Jinsil remains as one of my first and one of my most loved OST's.

3. I can't leave Reply 1988 OST's out. Park Boram's Hyehwadong manages to make nostalgic for a time I wasn't even born.

The power these OST's have is incredible. I only need a hear the first notes and my heartache already begins.

Thank you for your reply. With this information, I might get to it soon :)

I started watching when only a few episodes were out but had to stop myself before I would get withdrawal symptoms. Now luckily enough episodes are released so I can binge to my heart's content. The plot and acting are really good, unfortunately I can't handle love triangles. Especially when they involves two of my favourite actors. I'll try watching again when my heart is ready.

Go Ara. I liked her acting in 'You are all surrounded'. She had me convinced as well in 'Miss Hammurabi' (though she was a bit whiny that role as well). The one drama I absolutely couldn't complet however was 'Hwarang'. The cast seemed so solid (and especially as Army) I had high expectations for the drama. Go Ara's character 'Kim Ah Ro' however made impossible to get through the drama with my sanity intact. I've seen whiny characters (quite a lot) but never had I seen a character crying this much in every scene she was in. It completely ruined the drama for me. I just couldn't continue watching it more than two episodes. I can't imagine what the script writers were thinking.

I might just finally start with the Untamed. The hype and unfortunate situation around the main cast members was so big that I was conflicted and the lack of time also played a big role. Luckily now I have the time to binge to my desire.

Pinocchio is really good. I agree the sad backstory breaks my heart as well but if not for the main characters watch it for the side characters. They really lighten up the story. Your heart will be a bit bruised but fully whole by the end, so I highly encourage you to pick this one up again.
