My Favorite Dramas
-
1. Be Melodramatic
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
This is my comfort show. Though it has no main plot but this drama came to me when I was in my lowest and eventually gave me so much comfort. I love the way the writer wrote the story, I love the narrative, and also no character is not important here. Every characters, from the main to the supporting and even the cameos, shone brightly in this drama and that's a rare thing to find in a drama. Finding this drama feels like finding a treasure. I laughed so much and also cried a lot at the same time. This drama would forever be a gem to me, a drama that I will remember for a long time. Thank you for being there for me, drama!

3. Cold Case: Shinjitsu no Tobira
Japanese Drama - 2016, 10 episodes
This is the best drama adaption tbh. I love the whole squad! Every episodes are gem but if I have to pick my favorite episode, then it'd be the flashback episode one. This drama makes me fell into a hole named WOWOW.

4. The Victims' Game
Taiwanese Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
Who would expect this seemingly "cold" drama actually has so much warmth and emotions behind it? This drama gave me so much feels, especially in the last two episode. Not gonna lie, watching episode 7, esp. the last 15 minutes, gave me goosebumps. Every actors' acting is *chef kiss* but Joseph Chang and Moon Lee stood out, mainly because of that last 15 minutes in ep. 7.

7. N no Tame ni
Japanese Drama - 2014, 10 episodes
Tragic. Just tragic. Naruse is the best boi and Nozomi is my love, that's it. Kinda give Byakuyako vibe but less darker. OST, cinematography, story 10/10.

8. Battle of Changsha
Chinese Drama - 2014, 32 episodes
Do you know how much tear that I shed while watching this drama? It's probably as big as the ocean. Xue Jun Shan is one of the best characters in this drama and all dramas I've watched tbh, he's shady af but reliable af at the same time. ANYWAY BEST DRAMA. This is so good but you probably only need to watch this once because the sadness is too much.

9. Hello, My Twenties
Korean Drama - 2016, 12 episodes
I love my girls <3. The best youth drama that I've ever watched.

10. A Murderous Affair in Horizon Tower
Chinese Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Though it kinds of lost its momentum in the last half of the drama, but this is still a pretty good drama for me. This is the drama that I'll remember for a long time.

11. Fuben na Benriya
Japanese Drama - 2015, 12 episodes
This is another comfort drama of mine. Plotless but funny. I laughed till my stomach hurted.
-
12. The Great White Tower
Japanese Drama - 2003, 21 episodes
A classic. The only political-medical drama that I love. Zaizen Goro is a great anti-hero.

13. Saka no Tochu no Ie
Japanese Drama - 2019, 6 episodes
What an eye opener. We should remember not everything is black and white. Postpartum depression is really scary and the societal expectation for women is even scarier.
