1. 1 Litre no Namida
Japanese Drama - 2005, 11 episodes
I watched this series knowing the ending was envitable. But it was heart breaking every episode. Maybe in one episode I didn't cry. It's sad to think anyone would have to go through life and be aware of it, but have no control.
It's probably better I don't watch this again. I've never cried from a series or movie that much in my life (an anime series: Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 was number 1 before watching this).

2. Boku no Ita Jikan
Japanese Drama - 2014, 11 episodes
After looking at similar series to 1 Litre of Tears I came across this series.
The story is amazing. It's sad, and depressing. But also full of hope. The ending wasn't what I was expecting. I'm glad I didn't ending in crying 100 litre of tears.

5. My Mr. Mermaid
Chinese Drama - 2017, 36 episodes
I fell in love with this drama instantly. It reminded me so much of free! (The anime series).
I don't tend to watch comedy series. But considering what I watch this has great comic relief.
I loved the innocent romance and the development of the characters. Glad Coach Wu got lucky haha ????
I only wish that Yun Duo referred to and said that Yi Bai was her Mr. Mermaid. ♡
I will never forget the "Bye, Bye school" incident (QQ and his bad English). I didn't laugh the first time I heard it, but every other time I was laughing hysterically. Honestly I'd probably sound like QQ, when trying to speak any other language other than English.

13. High Kick! The Revenge of the Short Legged
Korean Drama - 2011, 123 episodes
The series was fun and creative. It was sad to see the series end. Not sure I'd commit to watching over 100 episodes again (took me a month to watch). I got a lot laughs and enjoyed Krystal's aeygo.

14. Last Cinderella
Japanese Drama - 2013, 11 episodes
I love a good Cinderella story. I think this was the first Asian drama I fully completed. I really enjoyed it.

15. Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
When I first watched this series I had no idea how good it'd be. The romance and comedy were great. Haha I learnt something from this series: a name of a real life soccer player. :)

16. Liar Game 2
Japanese Drama - 2009, 9 episodes
This series was amazing. It's unfortunate they never did a 3rd series. It had so much potential. I'd prefer a live action rather than an anime for this storyline.

17. Do Bong Soon, une force de la nature
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

18. Remember
Korean Drama - 2015, 20 episodes
The series had such a compelling story. I haven't thought I could hate an antagonist so much. I couldn't find any likable traits - he was such a brat.
The characters are well written and portrayed. I wish the protagonist could've had a better ending (considering all the crap he went through to prove his father's innocence).
I couldn't give it a 10/10 (like all the others on this list) because the protagonist didn't get a happy ending. But the rest of the story was so so good and well written.
