FAVORITE DRAMAS OF ALL-TIME
-
1. Love Like the Galaxy : Partie 1

This is the best Asian drama I have ever seen. Li Buyi is the best male lead in C-Dramaland.
-
2. Eternal Love
Chinese Drama - 2017, 58 episodes
This drama is the reason I got into Chinese wuxia/historicals. Ye Hua + Bai Qian are the standard.
-
3. Hidden Love
Chinese Drama - 2023, 25 episodes
The best modern-day drama ever.
-
4. Descendants of the Sun
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes

Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
This drama was made for me, and the number of times I have seen this is no joke.
-
7. Vincenzo
Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
It is the best Korean drama I have EVER seen! If you do not like mafia-related movies or shows, THEN THIS IS NOT FOR YOU! Because Vincenzo Cassano gets down to business... he is with ALL THE SMOKE!
-
8. Cendres d'Amour
Chinese Drama - 2018, 63 episodes
The most complete wuxia story with amazing character development.
-
9. Flower of Evil
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
My beloved Lee Joon Gi always shines so brightly.
-
10. Love O2O
Chinese Drama - 2016, 30 episodes
This was my first C-Drama. Although it is not my favorite modern-day Chinese drama anymore, the re-watchability is still through the roof. Xiao Nai is still the best modern-day male lead though.
-
11. Twinkling Watermelon
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
One of the best dramas ever. It was so emotionally rewarding. The acting, humor, OSTs & overall vibe of this drama is perfect! Yi Chan + Cheong Ah are one of my favorite couples & some of my favorite characters in K-Dramaland. They hold a SUPER special place in my heart!
-
12. The Legend of the Blue Sea
Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes
My first Lee Minho drama & I was enamored with him.
-
13. Goblin
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
Hilarious yet tragic. I love every minute of it.
-
14. My Dearest Part 2
Korean Drama - 2023, 11 episodes
For those of you who do not know, this drama is inspired by Gone with the Wind, which is one of the greatest romance movies of all time & one of my favorite movies.
Namkoong Min as Lee Jang Hyun is the best K-drama character I have ever come across & tied for the best Asian drama character along with the amazing Ling Buyi from Love Like the Galaxy.
Ahn Eun Jin as Yoo Kil Chae goes through one of my favorite character developments in a K-Drama. From a spoiled, immature brat to a grown, mature woman who does what it takes to survive in harsh times to protect herself & her family. I will say she made me mad at the end of Pt. 1 & I was waiting for the "Frankly, I do not give a damn scene," but her actions were understandable.
-
15. Sh**ting Stars
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
A simple, lighthearted, and fun drama with a lovable cast. Also, the chemistry between the leads was something to die for. There was nothing to hate about this drama.

Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
This drama is a pure serotonin boost!
-
17. Fight For My Way
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

-
18. Love Me If You Dare
Chinese Drama - 2015, 24 episodes
The best thriller romance.
-
19. Tu es Ma Gloire
Chinese Drama - 2021, 32 episodes
You Are My Glory was a light, peaceful mature drama with no unnecessary breakups or drama. The main couple communicated so well and even though their careers were POLAR OPPOSITES, they supported each other dreams to help them get to the next level.
-
20. Till the End of the Moon
Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes
Luo Yunxi + Bai Lu owe me some money for the therapy sessions because from beginning to end this drama made my emotions go on an intense rollercoaster ride. I barely caught a moment to breathe when there were happy times in here then we were back to angst.
Let's talk about Luo Yunxi as Tantai Jin. He is the BEST character in the show and low-key saved the whole show.

-
27. Love to Hate You
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
It was a fun + wholesome drama filled with all the sweet cliches I love in a romantic comedy. Yeo Mi Ran + Nam Kang Ho progression from enemies to lovers was both hilarious and so romantic. I loved how mature their love was & there were no misunderstandings once they got together!!! Thank goodness!! The bromance & the sisterships were top-tier. The soundtrack elevated every scene and great acting from the 3 main leads! I can see myself re-watching this when I am in a drama rut!

35. Love and Destiny
Chinese Drama - 2019, 60 episodes
NiNi is such an amazing actress. I never thought I would love a FL as much as I love Bai Qian, but NiNi as Ling Xi is so perfect. Lingxi is one of my favorite female leads so far. I love her spunky & naive spunky personality. Also, I love how she was gradually able to melt his cold heart.
As for the male lead, I did not think Jiuchen was handsome enough for me to keep on watching this show, but he grew on me. & I liked his character.

-
40. See You In My 19th Life
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
The OST for this drama made my heart ache in a good way. My gal Shin Hye Sun shines with whatever she does & her chemistry with Ahn Bo Hyun was the cherry on top.
-
41. King the Land
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
King the Land is how romantic comedies should be done. Of course, it was filled with all the usual K-Drama cliches that you can think of, and of course, there were corny + cheesy parts but it all worked for the most part.
-
42. Retour à Samdal-ri

-
45. De Retour du Gouffre
Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes
A mostly fun drama with some dark elements that affected the ending... not in a bad way. Neo Hu was so hot + cute at the same time.

-
46. Monarch Industry
Chinese Drama - 2021, 68 episodes
This drama should be called 'The Betrayed Princess" because pretty much everyone she loved betrayed her to get ahead except 3-4 people. Also, Prince Helan is such a charming devil. I cannot help but like him.
-

Chinese Drama - 2019, 35 episodes
