1. It's Okay, That's Love

Korean Drama - 2014, 16 episodes

they are the only couple who date in a way I can relate to
2. Nodame Cantabile

Japanese Drama - 2006, 11 episodes

this along with its encores. no drama is as passionate about a subject. I've always loved how both Nodame and Chiaki only love each other because of music, lol (which means they are everything to each other). I won't have it any either way and neither will they. How they reflect their music to their relationship.. It's impossible to find any other dramas with that kind of conclusion, metaphor, and self awareness to their passion and love.
3. Battle of Changsha

Chinese Drama - 2014, 32 episodes

it had everything
4. Coffee Prince

Korean Drama - 2007, 17 episodes

peak 2000s k drama
5. A Little Thing Called First Love

Chinese Drama - 2019, 36 episodes

it's just so fuzzy. There are TONS of these types of c dramas, but somehow this one won my heart.

7. Tale of Arang

8. Mr. Fox and Miss Rose

11. Scent of a Woman

Korean Drama - 2011, 16 episodes
12. I Will Never Let You Go

a guilty pleasure, it was cringy and kinda campy, but its reminiscence of older stories like sailormoon. The storyline was bullshit but the main leads had a real chemistry
13. One Liter of Tears

more like 100 litres, pretty sure I had to dam my room back then
