Watched in 2021

1. Hwang Jin Yi
Korean Drama - 2006, 24 episodes
Too much romance, because it was boring, there were minor plot holes, but the drama is visually stunning and interesting because of the dancing and music.
-
2. Legend of Yun Qian
Chinese Drama - 2020, 15 episodes
Very cute GL, but it was way too short to have much of a story. It did pretty well with the little time that it had, but I'm sure it could have been more substantial. Watchable for the cuteness and for its fluffiness.

3. Final Fantasy XIV: Hikari no Otousan
Japanese Drama - 2017, 8 episodes
Nice, warm, worth watching... but not that special.
-
4. Mr. Perfect and Miss Almost
Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
Not perfect, but cute and fluffy! The second leads not interesting.
-
5. Healer
Korean Drama - 2014, 20 episodes
Exciting, overall good plot and a very good watch.
-
6. Channel wa Sonomama!!
Japanese Drama - 2019, 5 episodes
Pointless, silly, no real plot.
-
7. Monarch Industry
Chinese Drama - 2021, 68 episodes
One of the best romances I have seen, even though romance is NOT the main point of the plot. Like many historical dramas, it has politics and power struggles, but now that I think about it, it feels almost like a slice of life drama. The FL is amazing and the ML is one of the warmest, nicest male characters ever.

8. That Winter, The Wind Blows
Korean Drama - 2013, 16 episodes
Better than I thought, so glad I watched it... but it had a few unnecessary elements and some things that weren't resolved well in the end. At some point I thought I'd give it an even higher rating... but no.

9. Toshi no sa Kon
Japanese Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
Fluff without plot! Nice ML, cute FL, annoying guys on the side, short and easy to watch.
-
10. Law School
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Watched it for KMM without hoping for too much but ended up liking it a lot - with KMM being amazing as always.
-
11. Blue Diamond
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Even though it was makjang (kind of weird sometimes...), I might remember it as one of the highlights of the year because of the great female characters.
-
12. Marriage Contract
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
Predicable at almost every moment, but kind of cute and good acting.
-
13. Go Ahead
Chinese Drama - 2020, 46 episodes
Heartbreaking and heartwarming about broken family relationships, mental health issues and healing; sometimes funny and sweet but not a light watch because of the heavy topics, and not at all a romcom like some people say.
-
14. Astringent Girl
Chinese Drama - 2021, 43 episodes
Female-centric life/romance drama, okay to watch but not as good as others in the same genre.
-
15. Love Phantom
Japanese Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
-
16. Unfamiliar Lover
Chinese Drama - 2021, 29 episodes
Crazy melodrama, not bad, but could have been shorter.
-
17. Lovers of the Red Sky
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Boring with bland and unbelievable characters, but some good painting scenes.
-
18. V.I.P
Korean Drama - 2019, 32 episodes
Some good parts, but not that interesting overall.
-
19. Le Vrai Où
Chinese Special - 2020, 1 episode
For a less than 10 minutes movie, it was excellent. *lol* A lovely little thing that made me wish it was much longer.
-
20. Hospital Playlist 2
Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
The most lovable drama of the year.
