Iāve started watching Asian dramas and I need some recommendations.
Hereās what Iāve seen and liked so far:
I Hear You - The first drama I watched. It was cute and made me want to watch more.
Love O2O (series) - I loved the friendships in this one. I liked the strength of the relationship between Bei Wei Wei and Xiao Nai, although it was so hard to watch them kiss, but the fault of that was all on her. The sort of relationship between Hao Mei and KO was adorable. I fell in love with Yang Yang, Zhang Bin Bin, and Zheng Ye Cheng.
Good Morning Call ā I liked the premise of the show. I had major second lead syndrome though. All the other guys who were interested in her were better than the main and I wanted better for them all too.
A Love So Beautiful ā I liked that the other characters got some background and story time as well. I felt bad for Wu Bo Song, but I liked the main couple in this. And the relationship between their friends was so sweet.
Accidentally In Love ā The plot for this one was kind of all over the place, but I enjoyed it. The second lead again deserved better, but I realize this is a common theme and Iām just going to have to get used to it. Ā
I Am Not A Robot ā I loved this one. It made me cry. The main actor was so convincing in his emotional scenes and the scenes where he was having an allergic reaction. I like that some of the antagonists were redeemed a bit by the end.
Youāre My Pet ā This one was odd, but in a good way? I watched the Japanese 2017 version.
Addicted ā I watched this one based off another personās recommendation. I was disappointed to learn it had been cancelled because of the subject matter, but I know that itās a continuing struggle all over the world for acceptance.
Pretty Li Hui Zhen ā I watched this one just because it had Zhang Bin Bin. I really disliked Bai Hao Yu until just a few episodes before the end. He was horrible to Li Hui Zhen and she was so obsessed with this memory of their childhood that she was completely oblivious to Lin Yi Muās feelings. I may have been a little - ok, a lot - biased, but honestly, why go for the mean guy when youāve got the fun sweet one right there? He deserved better too.
Marriage, Not Dating ā I liked that he realized his feelings were genuine before she did. Even though I liked Han Yeo Reum, I think Gong Gi Tae and Joo Jang Mi were perfectly matched.
My Girlfriendās Boyfriend ā This one was funny, but surprisingly had a lot of heart. I loved the comedy throughout. I still cried a few times though, especially near the end. I wish there was another season, just because.
Iām currently in the middle of:
Eternal Love ā Iām only about halfway through it. I love Zhang Bin Binās character, of course. The costumes in this are gorgeous.
Absolute Boyfriend - Iām about 12 episodes from the end. Just waiting for them to be available on Viki. I understand the ending is a bit polarizing for the people whoāve seen it, but Iām invested and Iām going to finish it. Ā
Iām open to pretty much any genre and time period. Iād prefer if the shows werenāt completely depressing though. I have Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Viki, so any shows available on those would be great.
