Hi there! 

I'm Sasha, and I am from the Caribbean. I have an unhealthy obsession with C/dramas. My love for Asian drama started with the Thai bl industry, then I watched The Untamed and fell in love with Wuxia drama. It led me to Word of Honor, and since there were so few bl wuxia dramas, I ended up watching others. I got hooked. 

I am only interested in watching period/costume dramas, nothing modern. I prefer ones with romance but heavy on court intrigue/generals as main leads, smart females, and great mystery/suspense/action.  I haven't tried K/dramas as yet but hoping to do so one day. Maybe you can suggest some based on my favorite dramas.

Some of my favorites are:

  1. The Untamed (my favorite of all time)
  2. Love like the Galaxy 
  3. The Story of Minglan
  4. Blossoms in Adversity 
  5. Blood of Youth 
  6. The Legend of Zhuohua
  7. Oh My General 
  8. A Dream of Splendour 
  9.  Who Rules the World 
  10. Ancient Love Poetry 

I am looking to meet friends. No one around me is interested in watching these dramas and I'd love to meet new friends who share this passion. I've mostly been hanging out in the Reddit groups but trying to use the social side of this site more often.

Welcome! As it happens, I've only recently watched a couple of palace dramas, one my adored Love Like the Galaxy, (I love The Untamed, too, by the way!) and the other, a truly excellent kdrama, Mr. Queen: excellent writing and acting, and both a moving palace drama and a commentary on palace dramas from the perspective of an egotistical contemporary guy who gets trapped in the body of an unfortunate queen.
