1. Detective L
Chinese Drama - 2019, 24 episodes
Bui Li. The man that you are. The chemistry. The show is not only unfished but also did the one thing I never wanted Sherlock adaptions to do and I still love every part of this show. My First favourite cdrama.

2. Joy of Life
Chinese Drama - 2019, 46 episodes
Seriously I want what the writers have. Because how is everything so perfect? The most well-written and complex characters I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. How is everyone so evil but likeable at the same time? How do you make my heart break for a character who has like three minutes of screentime? I don't know how, but you have done it, keep it up for the upcoming season.

3. The Memorandum of Kyoko Okitegami
Japanese Drama - 2015, 10 episodes
So perfect. So simply. So tragic. But so cute. I will protect this couple with my life.

4. Oh No! Here Comes Trouble
Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Legit can't finish this series because I am so scared of the loss I will feel when I end. That being said I have forgotten almost everything atp but maybe that's the point. Make another one pronto! so I can finish this in peace.

5. Arsenal Military Academy
Chinese Drama - 2019, 48 episodes
My first experience of not being able to pick a side in the love triangle and I have got to say...well played. Since its a war drama I knew the loss was inevitable (I even called one out from the start) but damn it hurt! Thank you for the comedy that kept me sane.

6. Love between Fairy and Devil
Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes
Binging a 36 episode series with very little breaks is crazy work but you made me do it so well done. The character are fun to follow and I loved the eye candy so thanks for that. Good job.

7. Master, Wait a Moment
Chinese Drama - 2021, 26 episodes
The fact that I watched this all the way through with the worst subtitles I ever had to put up with...what did you put in my water while I was watching this!??!?!? That being said, the bromance should be on a wall of fame or something because wow. The angst? Beautiful.

9. Heaven and Hell: Soul Exchange
Japanese Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
Listen here....You had a vision, you had the budget and you gave birth to the most insane chemistry ever. RESPECT. Like I don't even think the leads knew that they liked each other and yet I know that without a doubt they would protect each other with their life.Nothing was how I thought it would go but I enjoyed it.

10. Gokusen
Japanese Drama - 2002, 12 episodes
A recycled storyline that I ate with every single episode. Don't know how you did it but you did. Thanks for making me cry each time an old cast mate returned, didn't think I was that easy but here we are. Thanks for all the laughs and the tears.
