Completed in 2021 (with notes)
This list contains Dramas as well as Movies. Everything is in order of completion!
Numbers 1, 2, 5 and 8 I started in December 2020 and completed in Jan. 2021
-
1. The Wolf
Chinese Drama - 2020, 49 episodes
HEAVY SPOILER ALERT: Loved almost everything about it only the female lead got on my nerves half way. She became a emotional cry baby and had a obsessive addiction with wolfie, that's not love. Glad she died but everybody was talking how great she was......was she?! Nope
-
2. Insect Detective
Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
Thoughtfully written, well directed and acted above average. This was a phenomenal drama, an intriguing story, intertwining plots and a satisfied ending, for me anyway <3
-
3. The Silent Criminal
Chinese Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
This was a short easy to watch historical detective drama. First eps were hilarious then it became more serious and the ML was a undercover agent. Real brotherhood was only noticeable in the end episode
-
4. Cross Fire
Chinese Drama - 2020, 36 episodes
Truly recommended if you love brotherhood, friendships bonds, teamwork, loyalty, courage, live lessons and some sf, mystery and a bit of romance!!!
Ooh I almost forgot : Only 3 minor flaws of the director, the rest was sublime; the acting, production, story and the ost :) Really profound -
5. Final Chronicles
Chinese Drama - 2020, 37 episodes
Fantastic Tomb series but not so happy with endings of the whole sequence of lost tomb
-
6. Hwarang
Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes
I liked the history behind the Hwarang but I skipped a bunch of episodes cos Droopy (FL) got on my nerves (again)!!
-
7. Winter Begonia
Chinese Drama - 2020, 49 episodes
I re-watched this phenomenal drama exactly 1 year after the 1st watch <3
-
8. Legend of Fei
Chinese Drama - 2020, 51 episodes
I started this with high expectations and was disappointed the first episodes....then I picked it up again and all with all it was getting better and better. Loved the story and acting. CGI was reasonable only the make up... terrible but okay. Satisfying end
-
9. Arsenal Military Academy
Chinese Drama - 2019, 48 episodes
It was a nice story but dragging sometimes especially the last 8 episodes, so I skipped a lot. Loved the character of the ML.
-
10. The Red Fox and the Scholar
Chinese Movie - 2020
MOVIE I loved the story, the 2 ML's were fantastic.... and the GTI was awesome <3
This movie is exactly as the genres say that it is...
Yep it was really worth watching -
11. Insects Awaken
Chinese Drama - 2019, 45 episodes
I had high hopes for this drama but omg it is as boring as it can be. The story is ok and the acting is good but those loooong dialogues and unnecessary dragging scenes, they are so weary! If I had skipped, say from ep 15 and went back in say ep 35, that I would be quick up to date. Only the last part has suspense and action. Nope it's nothing compare to Sparrow and in my eyes certainly not a sequel.
-
12. Boku dake ga Inai Machi
Japanese Drama - 2017, 12 episodes
Nice story. It is more drama than sf or mystery
-
13. Animal World
Chinese Movie - 2018
Good movie
-
14. Monster Run
Chinese Movie - 2020
A fun fantasy movie
-
15. Time Raiders
Chinese Movie - 2016
MOVIE I think it is the one prequel to all Lost Tomb Dramas but start off with the Mystic Nine if watched in order of understanding
-
16. The Legends
Chinese Drama - 2019, 56 episodes
(February)
This drama went back alot to memory lane and jumped scenes or ....... I don't know I skipped about 16 episodes and the end pff what a weird summary of events. The acting and scenery were very good but the production and directory of this drama were chaotic at times.
-
17. Hikaru No Go
Chinese Drama - 2020, 36 episodes
Just brilliant story and loved the brotherhood, friendships and I have more knowledge of the game :)
-
18. Haunters
Korean Movie - 2010
MOVIE Good story....creepy ML.... Suspense
-
19. The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity
Chinese Movie - 2020
MOVIE Nice story- CGI were pretty good. Was it special for me ....ehh nope
-
20. Circle
Korean Drama - 2017, 12 episodes
This drama was a spontaneous watch and I loved every minute of it! The mystery, the science and the two time periods ran smoothly together as one story. It was well written and directed with a fantastic cast! I binge watched it in a day :D
-
21. Joy of Life
Chinese Drama - 2019, 46 episodes
RE-WATCH because I couldn't find anything that felt like a good watch. Or dramas that disappointed me. I was very happy to see JoL again <3
-
22. Tientsin Mystic
Chinese Drama - 2017, 24 episodes
A RE-WATCH AGAIN - There was nothing that could hold my attention and I dropped Douluo Continent.. Glad I watched this mysterious drama again. :))
-
23. Guardian
Chinese Drama - 2018, 40 episodes
I was doubting this one but gave it a spontaneous second chance. And I'm glad I did. Around ep 12 the story grows stronger. Only a pity that the GTI is off and on good. A overall good plot!
-
24. A Ghost Story
Chinese Movie - 2020
Fantasy MOVIE It was a nice watch! CGI was too much
-
25. Monsters Club
Japanese Movie - 2012
SHORT MOVIE based on true story. It was beautiful and weird at the same time!
-
26. The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty
Chinese Drama - 2020, 48 episodes
Story line was great but it was kinda boring uptil ep38 no ups and downs and I blame it on the music.
-
27. Waterboys
Japanese Movie - 2001
MOVIE from 2001. Based on true story, how men synchronised swimming came to be in Japan. It's hilarious how 5 idiotic high school boys started all this
-
28. Inference Notes
Chinese Movie - 2017
MOVIE about murder and calculations.
-
29. Inference Notes
Chinese Drama - 2017, 20 episodes
Watched this drama right after I watched the movie but there is a huge difference in the story. This is more investigation and mystery than the science of the movie. The plot is nice tho and the acting is good!
-
30. Zhui Xu
Chinese Drama - 2021, 36 episodes
Pace and intelligence are the keywords for this drama, the only thing that bothered me was; the first part was smart, "romantic" funny with business strategics and then it turned into smart, serious, war occupational strategics! Anywho if there comes a second season I will watch it :))
-
31. Ancient Detective
Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
It's a good overall detective drama and I would have given a 9 rating if it weren't for the mistakes on the horse department
-
32. The Gifted
Thai Drama - 2018, 13 episodes
My first Thai drama was an fantastic experience. Loved the story even tho the acting of some actors could have been better
-
33. The Gifted: Graduation
Thai Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
Same actors, what i loved. The story is different than season 1 but equally is good.
-
34. Bring It On, Ghost
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
Like "always" the FL was annoying as h*^l the first 10 episodes, clingy, childish and overdramatic. The story on it self was good....evil ghost exorcism . Acting and CGI was great tho!
-
35. Save Me
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
This drama was really good
-
36. Hen Jun Bu Si Jiang Lou Yue
Chinese Drama - 2021, 37 episodes
I liked this drama until episode 30, the story, the 2 opposite characters who are connecting in a deep bonding friendship, the overall acting was pretty good accept "commissioner Bai", and the set/scenery was great. But after ep 30 the story became, imo annoying because they were dragging the drama with new nonsense around the villian and some grand mistakes were made that didn't fit the first episodes. Unfortunalety I'm very dissapointed in those last 8 eps and the initial 9/10 I had in my mind dropped to a 8/10.
-
37. Royal Kitchen in Qing Dynasty
Chinese Movie - 2020
MOVIE: Well written and executed
-
38. Kung Fu Boys
Chinese Movie - 2016
MOVIE: A nice and fun story about a rebellion boy
-
39. Wild King
Chinese Movie - 2020
MOVIE: Good story about a mountain man that rescue's a girl from murder and become friends.
-
40. Dance of the Phoenix
Chinese Drama - 2020, 30 episodes
RE-WATCH Waiting on dramas that are still airing. Love this drama
Also re-watched Cross Fire but couldn't place it twice on this list
-
41. Si Teng
Chinese Drama - 2021, 30 episodes
It was a nice story with 90% fantastic CGI and good acting but sometimes the scenes were dragging with too much repeatedly dialogs. But what bothered me the most was that the music overruled the conversations a real bummer :((
Imo the overall drama is worth a average 7.5/10 -
42. Tian Ya Ke
Chinese Drama - 2021, 36 episodes
Loved it until episode34 then it became rushed with too many deaths. Loved the Bromance between the two ML's
-
43. The Long Ballad
Chinese Drama - 2021, 49 episodes
Phenomenal in Overall, Acting, Story, Music....
This was phenomal. A strong well written story without any loose ends. I noticed that there were some clear butterfly effects throughout the drama that I really enjoyed. The acting and directing was top-notch.The OST and the music troughout was fantastic and the pace was well-balanced. There was noticable character development by Hao Du and Leyan that I liked :))
And a side note that is very important to me every time I watch a c-drama with horses, is that 95% of the horses here where healthy and treathed well. Even with the grand battle fields they swithed over to the manga images and I can really say for the first time since watching Chinese movies and dramas: No Horse Was Hurt In The Making Of This Drama -
44. Magic Star
Chinese Drama - 2017, 51 episodes
This drama was so cheap that I couldn't help myself to keep on watching, just to hilarious criticize this childlike cheesy but colourful drama.
I don't know how to rate this one because if it's made for children I would give it 8/10 but if it's made for grown-ups I would give it a 5/10....so I gave the between 6.5/10 ;D -
45. Detective L
Chinese Drama - 2019, 24 episodes
A phenomenal drama. Smart eccentric detective with interesting cases that lead to the main criminal. The only thing I wasn't happy about was the weird ending
-
46. Charming and Countries
Chinese Drama - 2020, 40 episodes
It was average nothing special only in the last part of the drama it became what more in story and flow
-
47. Decoded
Chinese Drama - 2016, 44 episodes
The story about the autistic ML Rong JinZhen was fantastic and how he changes in a "short" period of time. The story that was told around him was in my opinion weaker even though that was the life that created him who he became.
I liked the cast and their acting was very good!
The thing that bothered me after a while were the long gazes, staring and silent scenes throughout the drama. They could made this drama in 30/32 episodes but anyway it was beautiful -
48. The Imperial Coroner
Chinese Drama - 2021, 36 episodes
This was a well thought out intelligent series! It was impossible to neglect a part because then you would have already lost a lot of important information. The whole series had a good flow and there wasn't a moment that bored me. I found the main group of 5.... intelligent and entertaining with their mutual silly jokes :)
Really worth the watch
-
49. Love Better Than Immortality
Chinese Drama - 2019, 40 episodes
This cdrama is simple to follow and the Leads show a lot of character development. I liked this fluffy romance, even tho I'm not really the romantic type lmao
-
50. Short
Korean Drama - 2018, 4 episodes
I liked it a lot, great cast, good acting....nice story but somehow I have the feeling of incompleteness that I miss something. I can't really put my finger on it even tho it was almost flawless.
-

Korean Special - 2015, 2 episodes
a nice super short drama of 2 episodes. It was a easy, sweet, funny romantic sci-fi
-

-
53. Dive!!
Japanese Movie - 2008
MOVIE: I'm planning on watching the J-drama adaption Dive and I thought it was a good idea to watch the movie first. Glad I did it was really worthwhile the watch!
-
54. The Longest Day in Chang'an
Chinese Drama - 2019, 48 episodes
This historical is something else. A 24hours story made in a 48 episodes drama and it's so well paced. The production is magnificent, the story('s) strong, the acting fantastic and the visuals are great even tho the indoor scenes were too red sometimes same goes for the sounds of the music and dialogues that were not flowing and clear at times!
-
55. The Great Detective
Chinese Movie - 2019
MOVIE : I enjoyed this lazy afternoon in between weekend movie. It was orderly chaotic and so dumb that is was hilarious smart.
And I loved seeing Yin Zheng and Zhang Hui Wen ♥️ ♥️ -
56. The Legend of Gu and Jue
Chinese Drama - 2021, 49 episodes

-
68. Qing Luo
Chinese Drama - 2021, 24 episodes
I started watching this drama because it said in the genre; comedy and I felt in the mood for some rom-com with only 24 episodes with a bonus that I like Liu Xue Yi and Daisy Dai but unfortunately this drama was more a rom-ser(ious) than rom-com(edy) and the animal sounds didn't fit the scenes at all ?
-
69. Come to Witch's Restaurant
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
-
