Favorite Dramas
My top favorites of all time. Not in any particular order.
-
1. Full House
Thai Drama - 2014, 20 episodes
This one got me into Thai dramas in the first place. Beautiful cinematography, sets, costuming, acting, directing, music, jsut everything is perfect. The slow love story between Mike and Aom-Am was so perfectly crafted, it was as though I was falling in love right along with them. I can honestly find no faults with this drama.

2. Padiwaradda
Thai Drama - 2016, 14 episodes
A beautiful, slow love story that captivated me until the very end. The main focus of the drama is on Saran and Rin's romance, and never strays from that. Every aspect of the plot is in perfect proportion to every other aspect of the plot; not too much nang rai, just enough sweet scenes to make us squeal, mystery and magic that tie into the main plot in a perfect little bow. Not to mention James Ji and Bella's incredible chemistry.

3. Eternal Love
Chinese Drama - 2017, 58 episodes
This was (for me) like watching Lord of the Rings, except in Chinese and with a lot less fighting and a lot more character/story development (just talking about LotR movies here, I know the books are way better, I read them). The leads had amazing chemistry, the fantasy storyline was well-explained and logical, and the whole design of the drama was gorgeous.

4. Karn La Krang Neung…Nai Hua Jai
Thai Drama - 2016, 12 episodes
A crack drama that features Mik Tongraya. I'd watch Fifty Shades of Grey if he were playong the lead. This one was far outside of every lakorn AND mafia stereotype. Daniel was flawed but understandable, Fah was innocent but lovable, the second leads complemented each other perfectly. I could find nothing wrong with this drama, except that Daniel was a Noble Idiot, but I doubt I'd love him so much if he weren't.

7. Cheewit Puer Kah Huajai Puer Tur

This drama is seriously underrated. It has an engaging plot, solid acting, and so many twists and turns you never know what's coming next.
