⊹˚.⋆ Welcome to my curated collection of 2025 favorites!⋆ ⊹˚. This isn't a list of top hits or trending titles based on numbers—this is a purely personal recommendation list of stories that actually touched my heart this year. What you’ll find here: 🎢 A genre mashup: From high-stakes thrillers like The manipulated to the sweet, nostalgic vibes of When life gives you tangerines. ☁️ Emotional safekeeping: Some of these made me laugh until I cried, and others just made me cry—but all of them were worth the goodbye at the end. ✨ Diverse stories: A mix of kdramas, cdramas, and maybe a few hidden gems you might have scrolled past! Every drama on this list has that special something —whether it’s a character I couldn't stop thinking about or a storyline that felt like a warm hug. I hope you find a new favorite world to get lost in here. Happy watching, and may your 2025 be full of 10/10 dramas!🌸🎬
Like my fave vertical drama actors, these beautiful actresses are the most I deem as fine actresses and enjoy watching. Aside from their natural beauties, I've ranked these actresses based on how I connect with them playing out their roles. They're refined in their talents when it comes to acting.

𝓜y all-time 𝓕avorite dramas ★ (Top 5)
My Period Chinese, Taiwanese & Hong Kongese dramas PTW List. This list will include all sorts of period dramas; Historical, Wuxia, Xianxia, Xuanhuan. Within historicals, it will also include Fantasy, & Minguo (Chinese Republican Era) dramas as well. Dramas that have a mix of contemporary and period theme will be included only if most of the story takes place in the period setting. Douban ratings are mentioned in each show's description. I believe in douban more than MDL (MDL is just infested by Kdrama lovers and idol drama fans that ignore all the good and well made cdramas.) I consider 6.5 and above rating to be good, but at times shows rated below that also surprise me. I keep such shows if they are better rated here plus if the premise is intriguing.
Wheels of chance:Main character kills someoneIdol - Fan relationshipPreparing beansprouts or anchoviesCharacter studying in libraryCharacter with a patterned or multi-coloured umbrellaExtra Literary challenges: Character reading a book, Reach for a book on a tall shelf for someone, drama references a real life book, character at a bookstore sees someone they know.
BL draws my intention because it tends to show a romantic intimacy lacking in many main stream shows. Like in any genre, finding a drama or romantic comedy with an interesting storyline, that is well told and thoughtfully cast can be a bit, ‘hit and miss’. Being from Australia, I wasn’t exposed to all the promotional hoopla that surrounds the BL world in Asian countries. And having English as my only language means my ability to enjoy these shows is affected by the quality of the subtitles. I needed to search and read through numerous posts and websites to find the stories of interest to me and the avenues available to me, to watch them. So I’ve developed this list in hope it might guide others to find what they prefer.Please note only stories I have watched will be on this list. I will also endeavour to write comments about my reasons for my rating; however I won’t rewrite the synosis.
