1. Better Days
Chinese Movie - 2019
This is my favourite movie of all time. I remember waiting months for its release and when it finally released, rushing home and watching it in the darkness of my bedroom absolutely sobbing. It is such a beautiful film.

2. Strong Woman Do Bong Soon
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
This was the first ever Kdrama I watched. It got me hooked and here I am all these years later. I have to thank this show for widening my viewing to international media. This show was so good and fun to watch. It had me in stiches, awe, and in tears and heartache. Min Min and Bong Bong are relationship goals.

4. Man In Love
Taiwanese Movie - 2021
(Semi-spoiler?) I knew what I was in for but still wasn't ready for it. This is the most beautiful and heart wrenching love story I have ever watched. I have never cried as hard as I did watching this movie. The acting...ugh.

5. Fight For My Way
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
Like Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, I love this show. I really have a thing for this type of comedic romance drama. I love the childhood friend plot and their unabashed-ness towards each other.

6. It's Okay to Not Be Okay
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
This appealed to my more melodramatic side, an angsty, theatrical , and poetic experience. I loved it.

7. Hidden Love
Chinese Drama - 2023, 25 episodes
This is literal perfection. This is evidence that this trope can be done right. It wasn't too much nor was it too little. It was just right. A perfect balance of all the little things that make up "I'm in love with my older brothers best friend" trope.

Chinese Drama - 2020, 46 episodes

12. Blueming

13. The Legend of the Blue Sea
Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes
This is here because it is a legend...literally. I love this, it the perfect mix of fantasy, comedy, romance, and drama. The FL sold it for me though. She was such a joy to watch.

14. Il diario della mia libertà
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
Honestly, this one is a subtle one. It is not fast paced. There is no big climax or events. Its just life. And it got me in my feels.

15. The Story of Ming Lan
Chinese Drama - 2018, 78 episodes
This was a long one to watch, but it had so much depth that it needed its length. Watching this you grow so attached to the characters, their successes, their failures, everything. I love it.
