  • Golden Spirit: Joseon Marriage Prohibition

    1. Golden Spirit: Joseon Marriage Prohibition

    Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes

    7.5

    fusion-modern day-sageuk rom com

    since I prefer watching more serious sageuk dramas, this one was a bit too light and modern for me and plus some plot points never got explained...

    I'm glad that the main couple get married and finally a drama where the couple remain as king and queen..

  • King2Hearts

    2. King2Hearts

    Korean Drama - 2012, 20 episodes

    8.0

    there are quite a few scenes concerning the bad guys in this drama that made me check to see if I was still watching the drama I clicked on...

    I do like the couple, but I do think it's not really obvious at first why the FL fell in love with him.

  • Time and Him Are Just Right

    3. Time and Him Are Just Right

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 25 episodes

    8.0

    cute school romance drama with typical cliches and plot points these dramas all seem to have, while adding some new things here and there

    i did get a bit impatient waiting for the leads to get together at around ep 11 or 15

    cute couple who get married and have a son in the end.

  • Love When the Stars Fall

    4. Love When the Stars Fall

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes

    7.0

    one of the best xianxia dramas i've come across but still not a great drama

    I liked the second couple, that the main leads dubbed their own voice, the lead actors made this drama enjoyable (for the most part)

    I think the ending is so anti climactic, especially after this posing as a fantasy rom com drama...

    if you stop watching at ep 33 when youqin and yetan marry EVERYONE IS HAPPY

    but it's still 33 eps of your time you can't get back

    i managed to take almost a 2 week break after this drama, but obviously it didn't last long as soon as holidays came around (meh)

  • Delightful Girl, Choon Hyang

    6. Delightful Girl, Choon Hyang

    Korean Drama - 2005, 17 episodes

    7.5

    not so sure what to rate it just yet..(11.05.2023)

    this drama gave me headaches...really hate the sml and sfl 

    the male lead and his father and friend are the only good characters...

    cute romance, but too few happy scenes

    I dub this drama Deceitful Girl Choon Hyang

  • Sweet 18

    7. Sweet 18

    Korean Drama - 2004, 16 episodes

    female lead is the villain of this drama. if she was better i would've rated a bit higher. she annoyed me all the way through

  • Grand Prince

    8. Grand Prince

    Korean Drama - 2018, 20 episodes

    7.5

    12.06.2023: watched till ep 10

    I like the couple, but I'm not sure if I like Jin Se Yeon or not..I've seen her in bridal mask and like a lot of her scenes, but I've also started queen love and war and her character feels quite like her character in this drama..

    nice kiss scenes, but story didn't keep me interested.

  • F4 Thailand : Boys Over Flowers

    9. F4 Thailand : Boys Over Flowers

    Thai Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    I wasn't planning on watching this, but I've come to like it a bit, although the japanese dramas are my favourite. 

    I wonder if this will be the last live action they make lol..

    (Hana Yori Dango is based offf of Pride and Prejudice)

    DROPPED AT EP 13 i saw the ending

    this whole story is really toxic.

    Japanese Drama - 2018, 9 episodes

    9.0

    nice, heartwarming drama set in mostly 1945 during the war. romance wasn't that much, but I thought it was realistic. this drama is bittersweet some how, but nice ending. I liked the "small town" vibes, although Kure isn't/wasn't a small town, mostly because of the neighbors and friends they have.

    I like the movie.

  • Mon Mariage Heureux

    19. Mon Mariage Heureux

    Japanese Movie - 2023

    8.5

    most anticipated drama this year

    based on the light novel/manga: My Happy Marriage

    edit: after watching the anime, I HOPE this has more romance in it, although I've seen a review that it didn't have as much as you want

    update: a bit underwhelming considering the wait for it
