*these are in no particular order

1. Majo no Jouken
Japanese Drama - 1999, 11 episodes
Absolutly loved the story about the forbidden love between a female teacher and her male student. The way the storie goes was super intense and I loved every moment of it. This show had me laugh, cry and actually screaming in anger because some of the characters are freakin ' psychos. XDDDD
I know it's a taboo theme but you might just give it a try and will like it as well in the end.

2. LIFE
Japanese Drama - 2007, 11 episodes
This was one of the first few japanese Dramas I watched and it's still one of my favorites. The stroy about bullying was heavy and there was so many harsh things happening to the lead character. I remember that I was speechless the first time I watched it. However there is also the friendship that buildes up and the main lead will get stronger because of that, that's abig reason why I love this so bad and also everyone has a reason for what they doing, you sometimes juts can't look behind it.

3. Project S The Series: SPIKE
Thai Drama - 2017, 8 episodes
This is definitlye my all time favorite (non-BL) thai drama. SPIKE has it all an interesting story, great characters with good development throughout the series, some of the best friendships and really good actor. You NEED to give this a try!

4. Project S The Series: Skate Our Souls
Thai Drama - 2017, 8 episodes
After Spike my second favorite thai drama. I love how the portrait the feelings of the main lead and his emotional ups and downs because of him having depressions. I love how the friendship is build up and all around the coming of age. I like that it touches the relation ship of father and son and how important it is to really listen. This is a drama that might drag you down becaus I felt it's pretty heavy on the heart but it's still so worth it.

5. Tumbling
Japanese Drama - 2010, 11 episodes
Another sports drama about friendship but I LOVE these so bad. Tumblig is one of my favorites not only because of the great cast but also because this had my emotions on a roller coaster. I cried with the guys, laughed with them and hopped for a happy until the last episode. These characters stole a place in my heart and therfor this drama had to be on this list.

6. Scent of a Woman
Korean Drama - 2011, 16 episodes
To be honest I don't even know how I managed to end this drama. It got my cry in every single episode and I actually really don't enjoy these extremly dramatic dramas. It is the chemistry between the two main leads that still kept me watching. Oh my that chemistry still gives me goosbumps. They have been perfect for each other. But not only that, there were some great side characters that I really loved. Besides that the lead actress was potraying the feelings so well, I had to feel with her (that's why I cried all the time). Amazing work in my point of view!

7. Tokyo Juliet
Taiwanese Drama - 2006, 17 episodes
I saw that this got a pretty bad rating but I don't care I do remember that I absolutly loved this drama. The main couple was pretty uncomplicated, it was more the story that got me in rage. Especially that stupid designer always stealing her work, I clearly remember how much I disliked him.
