1. The Romance of Tiger and Rose
Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
18/03/22 - 27/04/22
First ever asian dramaaaaaaa!!! This was a fun one. It had its shortcomings for sure, mid production quality and quite some cringe/embarrassment humour but that aside it was a very nice watch! Enjoyed the matriarchy setting and the characters despite their more traditional characteristics. Su Mu still lives RENT FREE in my mind though and I don't think that will EVER change

2. Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
30/04/22 - 05/05/22
Terribly overrated. Had some good/fun things like ML kinda, FL being a tomboy and doing a traditionally masculine sport, and uh... that's about it. Everything else was so painfully cringe it almost made me never wanna watch a kdrama again...

3. Begin Again
Chinese Drama - 2020, 35 episodes
07/05/22 - 14/05/22
Good but dropped the ball with the time-skip. The drama was good, nothing wow but it had its charm, mostly in the reversal of the typical tropes and roles but that time skip ruined everything, yiiiiikes

Good use of the limited budget, imagine what could've been had they had the budget they desreved!! AUUGH!!

Chinese Drama - 2021, 24 episodes

I only really remember disliking this... Yikes. Only finished it because of SML who was the most iconic icon to ever icon (also that actor is amazing)

6. My Mermaid Boyfriend
Chinese Drama - 2022, 20 episodes
17/06/22
FLUFF!!! It's cute, that's about it. The story is super simple and shallow but also interesting and could've been even more interesting had it been even a bit longer. The couple are adorable and it's just an easy and light watch (though that ending arc/climax kinda stuck with me, it was weirdly good? Idk)

7. Run On
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
16/05/22 - 19/06/22
Healing, soothing, fluttering and mature! A romance that isn't like your usual romcoms. Both leads are mature and gentle with each other, following the tropes of 'similar attracts' which makes for a wonderful journey of soft romance and healing. Paired with a sports subplot, a super bbg ML, an amazingly memorable OST, and a girlboss x malewife secondary couple, you have a wonderful drama that I never quite recovered from xD

8. The Blue Whisper: Part 1
Chinese Drama - 2022, 22 episodes
08/06/22 - 29/06/22
Started out promising but lost its footing. A pretty cool fantasy story with an OST that is my unchallenged #1 favourite. The characters are interesting as is the story, the setting is also compelling but it ultimately falls short. Really liked the unconventional character (especially romantic) dynamics and the cute merman and catboy

9. The Day of Becoming You
Chinese Drama - 2021, 26 episodes
11/05/22 - 04/06/22
An amazing contemporary romcom! There's so much to love about this drama. The OST is amaazing, the production quality is very solid, the story is interesting yet easy, characters are well-written and endearing and the romance is shippable and lovely! With the added sprinkle of some fantasy that makes for hilarious encounters, I simply cannot recommend this enough

10. The Other Half of Me and You
Chinese Drama - 2021, 32 episodes
19/10/22 - 20/10/22
Quirky, interesting and well made! This minidrama had such a strong personality and was sooo bold! Of the most thorough depictions of a matriarchy with relevant and well crafted social commentary on gender roles and feminism all paired with cute characters, hilarious comedy and a memorable setting! AUUGH so fun!!

11. Female CEO Love Me
Chinese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
06/11/22 - 14/11/22
Standard female CEO minidrama. Flirty FL chasing tsundere ML was pretty cute and they had some aww moments but that's about it

12. Sousa Kaigi wa Living de!
Japanese Drama - 2018, 8 episodes
21/10/22 - 17/10/22
Simple and sweet slice-of-life family dorama. It's nothing wow, in fact, it's a bit lacking in pretty much everything but it was endearing in its simplicity. It's an easy watch with some interesting elements that I enjoyed

Crackfic in a minidrama. Of those wacky types where nothing really makes sense and you REALLY don't need to think about it but it's all intentional xD Funny for what it was
