Favourite shows of 2022 (so far)? (Multiple choices appreciated) (Not so subtle request for recs since we tend to be in the same ballpark of what we enjoy 😅)
There are a good number of choices for this!
Triage is definitely one of my favorites. Oh, what a glorious show. I distrust time loops and they handled it so well. And I liked the main couple and the side couple and it was just... oh, it was a good show. And even had a fairly good ending!
What Zabb Man is one of my favorites because I am easy. It's cute, it had a good ending, it felt more adult than a lot of other attempting to be adult Thai shows and, I mean, it's got Bank and Bonus as the secondary main couple and I love them and they worked very well.
Absolute BL 2 came out out and it was just as good as you'd expect!
Star In My Mind is something I loved but a lot of people don't. I just... man, you give me a piner who can't speak his feelings and mutual pining with one person trying to stop pining and I just... love it. I eat it up. And the ending was just all fluff. NOTE: Sky in Your Heart is not recommended.
Old Fashion Cupcake is glorious and amazing and one of the best shows out ever let alone this year. Japan hit it out of the park with this one. Soft and mature adults and love and the idea of changing and growing at any age... oh, so good.
My Ride more soft BL from Thailand! So good, so darling, so fantastic. Just... super soft and gentle and more with the idea of adults finding romance. Love this show.
La Cuisine is soft and gentle and slow and adorable and it just... it has almost nothing, it's like Tossara only they added a pointless villain plot so over the top it served no purpose whatsoever... but the rest was just super soft and sweet?
Mr. Unlucky Has To Kiss! is adorable. Honestly, I really did like this one. Japan's been doing good this year.
Love Stage!!! is adorable and fun and cute and I just really enjoyed the whole thing though I wish it had been more easily accessible when it first came out. The end drama was pointless but it rarely isn't.
Cherry Blossoms After Winter I love this show, the only one of Korea this year that really knocked my socks off, honestly.
Cutie Pie I mean, yes. The arranged marriage BL got me. Ending is a bit weak for the main couple but, eh, overall good.
Also, currently airing, gotta add Minato Shouji Coin Laundry to this list. Because it is just that good.
