K-Drama Favorite Dramas
This is not ranked in order. Some are probably ranked higher than what I would rank it now because I wasn't sure what I was thinking back then. Some of these are probably on the list for nostalgia's sake so I don't really remember much about them.

1. A Journey to Love
Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes
This was such a great watch. All the actors did so well in their acting and portraying their emotions. I was very invested and I really enjoyed the series. My favourite character was Yu Shisan who is the playboy supporting character that brings a lot of comedic timings to the heavy drama. Alen Fang who played his character really brought him to life in the story. I loved the main couple as well and the actress who played Princess Ying did so well in showing her character growth from a timid princess who deferred to everyone around her to an independent woman. This drama made me cry so much T_T

2. Shining for One Thing
Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes
Very angsty but I love it. Story about a girl who travels back in time (different universe) and falls in love with the boy who has been secretly protecting her his whole life in high school before he died. Love story is beautiful and I really liked the characters and the supporting cast. I cried a lot cause it was really sad.

Japanese Drama - 2010, 9 episodes

4. Live Forever
Chinese Drama - 2026, 20 episodes
This was a pretty short watch since each episode was only 20 minutes long but I think the pacing and romance of the drama was pretty good. The female lead seemed a bit annoying at the beginning and you can definitely tell that the male lead loves her way more than she did but it was an enjoyable watch. Lots of angst and annoying love triangles but I'm glad that they didn't make the second male lead out to be a villain. This drama is unique in the sense that they lived for 3,000 years and have been with each other in the song dynasty (?), republican era, and the modern era together and although it seems like their love has faded and they want to get rid of their immortality, it's nice to see them gaining back their love and reigniting their passion and memories of each other. Actors all did really well and the music went along really well in the scenes they used. I love Fang Yilun's subtle expressions and use of his eyes to portray his heartbrokeness.

The exact type of angst I like. There was a lot of cute fluff and a ton of angst. The soundtrack was beautiful and I ended up searching the ost and relistening to them :)

20. You Are My Glory
Chinese Drama - 2021, 32 episodes
This one is so sweet. There's no conflict in this series so you're just getting stuffed with a lot of dog food. Their mutual love for each other and cute romantic moments made me so happy and I fangirled the whole time. No dumb conflicts and focus is on the main couple. I appreciated that they used their original voices and didn't get dubbed since I prefer their own voices.

21. Dr. Romantic Season 2
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
I mainly watched this for Ahn Hyo Seop since I'm his fan and ended up getting really invested in the plot of the series. Lots of interesting emergency operations that give you a glimpse into what it's like at the hospital and there wasn't a need to start watching season 1 thankfully. Romance was cute b/w the couples and I enjoyed the series a lot.

24. Gokusen Season 3
Japanese Drama - 2008, 11 episodes
This is one of the series where I am always coming back to watch. I loved all the seasons and I always had a favourite character from each season. There's a lot of repeating from seasons where we get the strong teacher (FL who is part of the yakuza) who gains the respect of the delinquents from class of troublemakers and her sincerity and strength makes her students loyal and allow her into their troubles. There's always the rich one, the poor one, and the one who goes the wrong path and gets help from his comrades and the teacher. Although simple and repetitive, I still thoroughly enjoyed it since the personalities of the main group had differences in each season.
