Not me the series - excellent I'm in love
F4 boys over flowers - surprisingly loving it so far and a much more suspenseful story than I expected now I want to watch the Japanese drama
Bad and crazy - Lee dong wook back in an action !!
My beautiful man jdrama
Our flag means death loved it! Highly rec!!
Gentleman jack - stopped watching. It's nice as a period romance, but I just do not like a landlord and my favorite character is Mary who is not gonna be the favored character any time soon
What we do in the shadows - loved it, rec if you liked the movie or just like chill vampire comedies
Plus and Minus - new taiwan bl that looks good
49 days with a merman - Taiwan drama
I'm your heart - chinese uncensored bl, cute
thai dramas:
3 Will Be Free (so good!! Rewatching and finishing did I mention enough how much I love this show?)
Lovely Writer (it had a strong beginning but then I dropped it, I wonder if it stayed good?)
A Fish Upon The Sky (like Lovely Writer above it felt like meaningfully heavy stuff/themes at first pretending at Fluff, also a lot like Theory of Love one of my all time faves... but I was waiting for more eps to come out)
Bad buddy - watched it. Recommend if you want a romantic comedy Romeo and Romeo with some depth and heart. Even though it's not my usual genre, I love Ohm and Nanons acting, love P'Aofs direction choices, and it really resonated with me as a first love from high school arc. It's definitely a feel good show with some serious heart in points.
Girl From Nowhere (looks scary and well acted!!)
Manner of Death (this and 3wbf are probably my biggest ‘really want to watch’ shows on here but I want full focus and see they require more attention then half-fluff romance ;-; Manner of Death looks like Exactly My Kinda Thing)
The revenge
The player
F4 thailand
Never too late
The eclipse
Moonlight chicken
Midnight hotel
Dirty laundry
Kinnporsche
Cupids last wish
Meow Ears Up
War with y

Fall in love (guy from Goodbye My princess)
Our times (I'm on ep 4, bromance with wu xie and li cus actors??)
Crime crackdown
Ice fantasy (ma tianyu!!!) - UPDATE I'm mid watching this and it's not perfect, but I kind of love it and it's specific way of doing stuff I love. And I prefer it eons over Eternal Love. So many plot setups in this that are my personal favorites, combined with a slightly original take on immortals/realms etc.
Ultimate Note: TLT3 (I have like 10 eps left its my usual ‘can’t get myself to finish anything I like a ton’ lol)
The Lost Tomb 2 part 2
The Lost Tomb Reboot (see above - but positive is its on youtube now so its easier for me to watch and finish)
Killer and Healer (see above - I’m 1/3 through this baby, was waiting for it to finish airing and well IT IS NOW)
Granting You a Dreamlike Life (trash reasons, I just love Zhu Yilong and wanna see the hot mess tbh)
Fairyland Lovers (UPDATE: ep 26, I started this as another ‘practice’ show like gyadl, turns out I actually LOVE this thing with my only critique being I’d have picked much hotter clothes for Bai Yu to wear. This is very much Guardian/Rattan kind of story, I like it a LOT better than Goblin, its mini arcs keep making me cry, its ‘alien’ premise has a much more ‘metaphor for Love and Redemption style heavenly realm/demons’ which while it makes the sci fi kind of ‘handwave’ does make the whole story feel VERY much modern setting fantasy, like Shadowhunters or Buffy which I love, with the flavor of characters with pasts to the kind of degree LaR tended to have with some many centuries/millenia old players and potentially reincarnation involved which is interesting to see executed in a modern-fantasy cdrama. In short I didn’t expect to love this but I am binging now it so).
Rattan (I love Si Teng, I love both the leads, its mutants/aliens on earth, its very Guardian-esque but with better budget/photography, its clearly my kinda thing I just need time)
Love Me If You Dare (author who wrote the book was recced, and I want to see Wallace Huo act, and I love Sandra Ma)
Journey Across the Night (maybe* - its got Wu Xie from tlt3, I’ve seen it recced as a ‘bromance’ surprisingly, its short?)
Listening Snow Tower
Princess Agents
Princess Silver (Luo Yunxi)
Anti Fraud League (this has no subs so watching practice, but also its actually a bromance a la Killer and Healer vibes, and Xiao Yuliang is in it, its crime solving with some action/matrix vibes and I do appreciate that)
Goodbye My Princess (I miss it, I was halfway through it last time ;-; )
The Wolf (I just... miss them tbh...)
SCI (I hear its kinda a fun hot mess and that is my kinda thing)
Winter Begonia (some... day.... someday... probably not soon - i just realized now this is both historical and lovers from different backgrounds which i’m craving rn, but i remember how sad i was for the wife so...)
Nirvana in Fire (same as above, its just... when can my brain focus on a serious plot that long)
The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty (same as above... it sure is long, can I focus that much...)
Forward Forever (looks gay to the extent maybe hikaru no go was? looks my aesthetic? i’m guessing i will love or hate it)
Mystic Nine (SHOULD be on the list, we will SEE lol)
Secret of the Three Kingdoms (UPDATE: ep 18 and I love this show)
Demon Girl (i’m re-adding this to the list because like Fairyland Lovers, it looks very much ‘my niche preferred story setup’ and as such i’m either going to love it or feel its a fun ‘easy practice’ show)
Three Kingdoms (daddy looking lead >o>, also 95 episodes dang?)
Empresses in the Palace/The Legend of Zhen Huan (been on my to watch forever...)
Novolands Tribes and Empires (more grizzled male lead, maybe like GMP in terms of setting feel?
Novoland Eagle Flag (concubine’s son/princess, maybe more realistic setting feel?)
Jade Palace Lock Heart (update: ep 22, not crack at all tbh?? Its got comedy, political intrigue, terror, suspense, romance, genuinely great characterization and arcs throughout, it is Great - and while its mostly more grounded in its storytelling sometimes it does some wacky stuff or dream sequences which is a fun way to break the tension/seriousness/groundedness for a little while)
The Scarlet Heart (now i want to compare this to jplh, but also hella confused because its like... the same time period and time traveller too... was jplh a rip off at first?? lol)
Legend of Fragrance (honestly just the fact it might be lovers from different backgrounds, and has 3 actors i adore??? 3???!!)
Wu Xin The Monster Killer (immortal/human, lovers from different bgs, totally my kind of thing, Elvis... need I say more?)
The Myth (time traveler)
Sound of the Desert (nomad girl and prince)
The Eternal Love (Update: ep 10, trying it out, getting a Go Princess Go and Romance of Tiger and Rose vibe so far, so its a silly time)
Legend of the Condor Heroes
Love in Between
Siege in Fog (starcrossed lovers)
Love is Science (update: on the newest episode and its fairly good, i like the subplots but not the main plot much though i appreciate the main lead is divorced because i rarely see that)
the imperial coroner
New Face (my dude from monarch industry!!)
Song of Youth
Lost in 1949* (fu shous actress wan qian with chen kun!!)
Romance of a twin flower (peng xiao ran, novel adaptation)
The Long Night
humans (Update: look idk if this will be everyone’s thing but Ma Tianyi leads it along with a full on superb cast, its so fucking good to me ToT ma tianyi in modern sci fi, constant whump, my fave tropes in sci fi of androids who feel and have shit going on, kick ass women who terrify and are beloved, well Written Sci Fi??? In my Cdrama??? Its less common than it should be but god it finally EXISTS here - and as always, I recommend Bureau of Transformer for those who want excellently written Sci Fi with a Twilight Zone vibe that’s short and sweet and absolutely beloved by me. My point is - please give me more genuine sci fi cdramas T-T)

Its Ok to Not Be Ok (looks? like my kind of thing?)
Crash Landing On You (UPDATE: FINISHED, ok I GET why this scriptwriter is so loved? I am absolutely craving love stories about people from very different backgrounds, Especially if its also got historical or realism elements, and I love how this show really establishes settings as distinct and their own, as part of a character’s background, and the plot itself so far is so good???)
You Who Came From The Stars (probably the only ‘fluff’ romance on here, because it was recced so I wanna give it a chance, and aliens is a plus)
Nobleman Ryu’s Wedding (so was it good? who’s seen it???)
To My Star (heard good things, but also heard its a romantic comedy and idk how much fluff i can handle)
Color Rush (hard to find to watch? cool concept)
My Country the new age
Beyond Evil (update: finished this and it was AMAZING I’m still processing)

The Sweet Blood (on youtube now, vampires, we’ll see? maybe??)
Chicago Typewriter (past lifes and present?! Yes sign me up)
Arthdal chronicles (it’s on Netflix, a few seasons? The meaningless art’s vids on YouTube are 100% why I want to see it, also it’s historical fantasy!!)
Mr Queen (scared about the ending but... but...IT HAS MY BOY FROM CRASH LANDING ON YOU)
Sell your haunted house (recced)
