2025 - WRAP UP.
Films and Shows I have watched in the year, 2025.
As a College student, I have less time to watch a plethora of Asian Dramas and Movies but if I do, I put effort into watching every episode and every scene.
- This list is in no particular order in terms of ranking.
- Movie scores are based on my Letterboxd stars.
- I do not tolerate any hate.

1. How to Make Millions before Grandma Dies
Thai Movie - 2024
★★★★★/★★★★★
A family drama that tugs into your heartstrings, a huge achievement for Thai cinema as this was shortlisted for the Academy Awards. Simple and thought-provoking with an award-winning performance from Usha Seamkhum.

3. True Beauty
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
7.5/10
This was good in the first half, fun and lighthearted but this didn't need 16 episodes with a 1hr length of time. None of the characters were interesting in the second half.

4. In the Mood for Love
Hong Kong Movie - 2000
★★★★/★★★★★
A film that evokes so much yearning and longing, that I could feel it in every frame. The gaze of the two characters was so intense and so full of love.
