1. Better Days
Chinese Movie - 2019
The first ever Asian movie/drama that actually took an emotional toll on me and made me cry. What a masterpiece! The acting was phenomenal or maybe I never knew that Chinese actors had this much potential. Loved every bit of it.

3. It Started with a Kiss

5. Our Beloved Summer
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
CWS and KDM chemistry. It was sizzling, cute and very very verrryyyyy REAL. There are very less drama made these days that just give the right amount of butterfly feeling without being cringey and awkward. This drama was in every aspect perrrrrfect. The plot, the vulnerabilities of the characters were quite relatable. I hope we don't get a season 2 because I wasn't a fan of HPL 2.

8. Hospital Playlist
Korean Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
The first thing that swept me was the cast. Jo Jung Suk is the best actor and my new favorite. It never seems that he is acting. Everything looks so real. It also looks as if some of his comedic acts are improvised which I love. The story doesn't also bore you out. I love friendship theme and this is a perfect binge watch serve!

9. La faune d'Itaewon
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
I understand the little flaws this drama had but this drama had swag. It makes you want to have a Jang Dae Hee in your life which could drive your motivation. The OSTs were bomb. Gaho's start, Stoneblock and V's sweet night are on my drive playlist

10. It’s Okay to Not Be Okay
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
What a story! The drama is packed with the right amount of romance, slice of life, mystery, thrill, melo elements. This drama rightly deserves a 10 from me. Only if I had binge- watched it after it was over. Usually dramas that are complete are more enjoyable as the story stays with you.

11. Uchi no Musume wa, Kareshi ga Dekinai!
Japanese Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
I found Hamabe Minami in Watashitachi first and then wanted to try watching all her work. I fell in love with her acting. So raw and real. She is not over the top in her dialogue delivery nor she is overacting.
The Plot is so refreshing and kept me hooked. Best part of JDramas, they don't prolong it too long but it doesn't feel fast paced.

12. Professional Single
Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
Maybe the silliness of the plot, cheesiness of scenes, height difference of the leads and a lil bit of PYHOMS magic made me fall in love with this drama. I uaven't re-watched any drama in this list as much i watched this one.

13. Suits
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
Ok so I watched Hwarang first because of PSJ but then i got hooked to PHS's character more. His acting skills are bang on. The way he portrayed Yeon Woo and his chemistry with Jang Dong Gun is outclass. I crave for such bromance. Also, i watched some videos of Suits America and i didn't get the feel. The Korean version in my opinion is way better only because of the depth of the acting the 2 main characters showed.

14. Healer
Korean Drama - 2014, 20 episodes
fell in love with Ji Chang Wook. His expressions are to die for. The story was intriguing and the chemistry was cute. The OST got stuck in my head for days.

15. The Tale of Nokdu
Korean Drama - 2019, 32 episodes
I am a sucker for fluffy romance provided a bit less cheese and sensible female lead. Thankfully this drama served the right amount of fluff cheese and everything in between. I kept watching their BTS videos. Both Kim So Hyun and Jang Dong Yoon were amazing and the story kept me from skipping through the episodes (Which I often do if the plot is boring but the leads are cute).
-
16. Jealousy Incarnate
Korean Drama - 2016, 24 episodes
OMG the chemistry eeeeek. Jo Jung Suk is such a talented actor and no words for Kong Hyo Jin. This drama made me laugh like no other. This drama is what we call the perfect combination of comedy, romance and drama. I discovered Second Lead Syndrome because of this but honestly Jeong Won's character started to annoy me in the end. All in All it was a perfect drama that I re-watch sometimes
-
17. Fight For My Way
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
The chemistry and leads' acting won all the stars.
-
18. 9 End 2 Outs
Korean Drama - 2007, 16 episodes
I watched this drama only because of the cohabitation theme. I am a sucker for that. I wasn't drawn to this drama while reading reviews. But after watching it i loved it so much. The chemistry between the main leads is so realistic. It was as if they were actual friends falling for each other.

19. Twenty Five Twenty One
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
After Episode 15, New Year scene, the drama ended for me. To this day I disregard the actual ending. No Thank you. Kim Taeri and Nam Joo Huk just simply amazed me.

20. Go Go Squid!
Chinese Drama - 2019, 41 episodes
