1. No Young Man Park
Chinese Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
Nice, a bit different for a c-drama but nothing amazing, not that unique. Started in december 2021, completed in January.
-
2. Si Teng
Chinese Drama - 2021, 30 episodes
Good drama with a nice ML, easy to watch - but could have been three or four episodes shorter since the last part didn't make the story better. Started on Christmas Day, completed in early January.
-
3. Dear Diary
Chinese Drama - 2021, 24 episodes
It was pretty nice and fun. Some character development and a message for young girls to keep dreaming about love. Started in January and completed 3 February.
-
4. Nobody Loved
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Crazy revenge and obsession melodrama with unlikable characters. Watched with a friend, would have dropped it if on my own. Started in November or December 2021, completed in early March (yes, it was that draggy).
-
5. Mask
Korean Drama - 2015, 20 episodes
Nice romance melodrama, good for its genre with minimum of annoying things. Didn't tug on the heartstrings as much as some others but I enjoyed it. Started it in early February, completed one month later.

6. Bulgasal: Immortal Souls
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Not my type of drama, but watched it for LJW. Found it okay despite being very predictable at times! Watched only on weekends, two episodes at the time, and LJW looks fiiine in it. Good acting overall. Started in late January, completed March 20.
-
7. Light The Night
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
This was a very good female-centric murder mystery. Started it in March, completed April 1st.
-
8. The Door into Summer
Japanese Movie - 2021
Cute but predictable. I watched it for Fujiki Naohito and he didn't disappoint, nor did the cat! Watched it on April 1st.
-
9. Light the Night Season 2
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
The continuation. Started it April 2, completed April 3... sick days binge watching.
-
10. Light the Night Season 3
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
The conclusion to the series was satisfying and overall. I think this was a very good drama. Completed on April 15th.
-
11. Itsuka, Nemuri Ni Tsuku Hi
Japanese Drama - 2019, 6 episodes
Good j-drama for its kind. Short, simple and easy to watch, nothing annoying and pretty natural acting. Watched the first episode April 22, completed the whole thing the day after. Nice to get a little bit of j-drama flavour among the rest.
-
12. Bei Zhe Nan Yuan
Chinese Drama - 2021, 30 episodes
Nice slice of life that I enjoyed, with mostly likable characters, but too many characters or too few episodes. Started March 23, completed April 30.
-
13. Avengers Social Club
Korean Drama - 2017, 12 episodes
A good (and a bit unusual) group of friends drama, very funny, a bit on the weird side, a touch of serious topics, just a tiny bit of romance and some heartwarming moments. Strangers that are better than family! :) Started April 8, completed May 26... could have completed earlier but didn't want to let it go.
-
14. Annarasumanara
Korean Drama - 2022, 6 episodes
It was meh, not magical enough and not enough music and no good songs. Started sometime in early May, completed on the 27th.
-
15. Dang Jia Zhu Mu
Chinese Drama - 2021, 35 episodes
It was okay. Not in any way bad, a visually stunning drama, but it had some flaws, for example I found it too preachy at times. "Women are in every way as good as men or even better, but women can't live without loving men; the result is always better when you work together; work for the good of the people and not for yourself"...

16. 17.3 about a sex
Japanese Drama - 2020, 9 episodes
Unexpectedly good school drama, a mix of serious and cute and funny. I wonder how Swedish teenagers would react to this... Binged it on May 29.
-
17. Kai Duan
Chinese Drama - 2022, 15 episodes
A very good drama that had me sitting at the edge of my seat. From what is happening to who did it to why did they do it, with the overall big question how will they stop it, there wasn't a dull moment. And I say that about a drama that literally repeats itself at least twice per episode! Watched in June.
-
18. Green Mothers Club
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
This drama was very good (a lot better than you'd expect from the synopsis), about friendship and relationships and many secrets, many twists and turns! When it comes to some characters, it's really very sad, but it's not like I'll remember it as a "sad drama", just a very good and interesting one that I'm glad I watched. Completed in mid July, after about one month since starting it.
-
19. Remarriage and Desires
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Entertaining light melodrama about revenge and a quest for truth, and ordinary woman gets caught up in a web of plots and desires of the rich and powerful. Nothing amazing, but nice male lead, pretty faces and a good distraction at a time when that was needed. Binged between 15-17 July.
-
20. Our Blues
Korean Drama - 2022, 20 episodes
I have mixed feelings about this drama, but I definitely liked parts of it, and the acting was good! The rating is somewhere between "good" and "very good"... Started at the end of May, watched slowly and completed two months later.
-
21. The Rational Life
Chinese Drama - 2021, 35 episodes
It was a decent romance drama with the beautiful Qin Lan, but it was nothing special and there were some uninteresting parts. The actual romance parts were most of the time cute and the ML a bit more mature than the typical younger guy so I felt that it was pretty believable. Completed August 3.
-
22. Eve's Scandal
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
Very melo, great start and all, but became too much before the end. Don't regret watching it, but won't remember it, most likely...
-
23. Familiar Wife
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
It was pretty good but it didn't give me strong feelings. Completed in September.
-
24. Night Light
Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes
It took me months to watch this, completed in December. It was very slow... but the FL is an amazing Ice Queen, hard to love but there's a warm heart somewhere deep inside. Can't say I liked the drama, even though I thought I did in the beginning, but I love the actress.
-
25. You Are My Glory
Chinese Drama - 2021, 32 episodes
Cute and fluffy but too little plot for such a long drama. Started... I don't remember, completed the day before Christmas.
-
26. Ode to Joy 3
Chinese Drama - 2022, 33 episodes
Watchable but nothing more. Biggest disappointment of the year.
