Loved it. Something I can relate,too. I'm Asian and it's so fascinating to see the different cultures and learn from it. Love esp. the foods and starting to say some foreign words. Nice article.
I got hooked with Taiwanese dramas after watching It started with a kiss and They kiss again which by the way are my favorites so far. I agree with your lists except Hi, my sweetheart. I would say Ring the bell twice is also good.
I so agree with all of your lists. My biggest disappointment really was Fashion King just because I watched it from beginning to end whereby the rest is I dropped it midway. I do like Rooftop Prince bec. I laughed a lot on that one. I would like to add Oh La La couple on the lists of very promising at the beginning and went blah towards the end that I can't bear to watch the last 4 episodes. And if you want to add a Taiwanese drama...I would say Miss Rose is one of them.
I would say, I like Il Mare better than Lake House. The ending comes with a surprise. Starry,starry night is a nice love story. Come to think of it, let me find The Promise.
My faves are always the side dishes. I missed the All you can eat Buffet in Riverside Ca. I haven't tried Jajangmyun. I'm thinking Korean for my birthday now that you made me so hungry.
My most favorite chinese drama. I have seen it several times and it always makes me cry . It's a heartwarming drama with one of the beautiful songs I ever heard. You can watch the whole thing on youtube.
I love the Korean version just because they are all cute, but Hana Yori Dango is the best. The two leads are so cute together and got to see their actual wedding and also having a baby together. That completes all compared to all the other versions.
