Favorite Asian Dramas

Since I've admitted to being an asian drama addict, I might as well list down the dramas I like. This actually will serve another purpose. I find that when I'm bored and couldn't find any interesting new dramas to watch, watching old dramas is good enough. So here's my list (not by rank mind you):

1. Wedding (Korea)
For some reason, I find this drama very touching. It does drag in some episodes, but still I find this sweet, tender, and hopeful. And when my mood seeks a sad drama, this is a good watch.

2. Secret Garden (Korea)
The idea of swapping bodies initially didn't appeal to me. I thought it was too much of a fantasy. Thus, no matter that it has been in the top viewed in several sites that I frequent during its first release, it just didn't appeal to me. Until, out of boredom and lack of dramas to watch, I tried an episode. And so I was hooked. The phasing is just right. I laughed out loud in some scenes, cried in others, and was just so into the romance.

3. KonRuk Luang Jai/The Trickery of Love Dupes the Hearts (Thailand)
Really loved this drama. The family dynamics of Bua's family is great, and his brother is the best character I've met in dramaland. He's cool, the best friend you could hope for, protective brother for his sister, and the sweetest boyfriend with a nice job (what more can you ask for in a guy?).

4. Emergency Couple (Korea)
A second chance at love is always a good romance. As I've thought, being ready to settle down is what makes it work, no matter how in love you are. This is a feel good movie. Pacing is just right. Might get you frustrated at times because of the leads not feeling in love at the same time, but eventually they get there.

5. Marriage, Not dating (Korea)
Ongoing. Will write my thoughts once the drama is complete
