This was a nice surprising hidden underrated gem for me. Word of caution thought, you’ll need to get your tissues handy for this one. Like the whole box probably. This was beautifully well executed, acted, and all around fine. It’s definitely a must watch for those who love a good emotional drama.

Would it be okay to ask you for jdrama recs? Coming from someone who hasn't watched a single jdrama in their life 😊 Kind of a jdrama starter pack please? ❤️

*sweats nervously once again* bc as I said before I honestly don’t like to rec things bc I think my taste is all over the place... 😂 and I'm not one who really pays attention or think about the faults of dramas. I just watch and enjoy (most of the time) lol. It also has only been almost four years for me with watching jdramas so I feel like I'm still pretty new to them haha. but I will try~ and what I mention is honestly more of ones I enjoyed the most watching and can remember!

okaaay! if you want to start out v short and sweet w some 🦋's i have two favorite drama specials 💘

— Tadashi Koi no Hajimekata (2023) | episodes: 01. genres: romance, youth. » there's only one episode but with two different versions! the name mentioned above is the first version and then tadashi koi no hajimekata: horoama? horoniga? date hen is the second version. it basically the same but shows the perspective of the two male leads with additional scenes! i just loved the pairing of mako and eita and their chemistry was soo good and fun. i am still v sad it wasn't an actual full length drama 😭 and the song that played at the end of date version was on repeat for months! 10/10 reccomend ✨

— An no Ririkku: Sakuragi An Haiku Hajimetemimashita (2021) | episodes: 02. genres: drama, youth. » i remember enjoying this one a lot it was definitely one of my favorite watches in 2021! since this one isn't the freshest in my memory (i have the worst memory fr) i can't say much but i swear i was obsessed w this special and the leads back in 2021!! 😆

before i get into mentioning actual full-length dramas i'll mention my two favorite jmovies that i actually physically own :)) so if you're interested in watching a movie before diving into dramas 💐

— Murder at Shijinso (2019) | duration: 2hr. 0 min. genres: horror, mystery, thriller, youth. » i love this dumb (affectionately) silly movie so much!! it might also be because i love the main actress hamabe minami but it's definitely just a fun murder mystery to watch :D

— You're Not Normal, Either! (2021) | duration: 1hr. 38 min. genres: comedy, romance, drama. » i enjoyed this one a lot!!! obviously since i also went out of my way to own it haha. but yeah my reviews for literally everything i like is "i enjoyed it" 😅 but seriously i did 🙇‍♀️

now for dramas!! i'll mention my two all time faves then ones i remember enjoying the most! 💐

— Talio Fukushu Daiko no Futari (2020) | episodes: 07. genres: comedy, law, mystery. » it's been three years since it aired and i'm still crying about it 😭 it's the one drama i never shut up about and think about all the time. it's my favorite drama of all time like nothing throughout the years has had a hold on me since!! (what i've previously said about it~) | the way both leads played off each other and their chemistry was just- a++ the soundtrack for the drama was also such a treat and the vibes matched it so well! the vibes of the whole drama though!! I think it was also shot beautifully. and the consistency (!!! the way they kept things going even the smallest details !!!) throughout was something i really appreciated and looked forward too :’) i really be missing it everyday... </3 | i literally have a talio collection that i finally completed a few months ago 🥹 i have the dvd, cd, vinyl, and the magazine the leads were on the cover of 🫶

— Itsuka, Nemuri Ni Tsuku Hi (2019) | episodes: 06. genres: fantasy, friendship, supernatural, youth. » this one still makes my heart hurt whenever i think about it and i just simply love it to pieces. it really has left an lasting impression on me. short and bittersweet. 🖤

dramas that are romance focused 💓

— Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo (2020) | episodes: 10. genres: comedy, medical, romance. » ahh so i think this was my first jdrama i watched!?! i honestly cant remember if i watched any before this bc this was the first jdrama i actually made gifs of so i'm going off of that as it being the first haha. but if you want something nice and fun to watch with romance at the forefront this is for youuu! bc i feel like most of my recs aren't romance heavy! and i just remember being obsessed with the leads and pretty sure it's what made me continue to watch jdramas 🫣

— Animals (2022) | episodes: 08 (+ 2 specials). genres: business, romance, drama. » loved loved loved this drama! one out of the five favorite dramas i watched in 2022!! great friendships, great message, funny and sweet moments, lovely lead— umi-chan i miss youuu. 🤧

— Oshi ga Joshi ni Narimashite (2023) | episodes: 12. genres: comedy, drama, romance. » definitely one of the funnest and sweetest drama i watched last year and suzuki airi (female lead) it's just such soo good, love her acting! she's also the lead in the drama animals i previously mentioned! pure rom-com with great chemistry!! ✨

— Kieta Hatsukoi (2021) | episodes: 10. genres: comedy, romance, youth. » high school setting with romance/friendship being the focus!! all the characters are so likable and it was such a cute and fun watch!!

— Ore no Kawaii wa Mousugu Shohikigen!? (2022) | episodes: 09. genres: comedy, romance. » easy fun and cute watch with great leads!!

dramas with all other kinds of genres (w hints of romance) ✨

— Bishoku Tantei Akechi Goro (2020) | episodes: 09. genres: comedy, food, mystery, thriller. » ooh i was obsessed w the leads of this one as well LOL. idk i really had so much fun watching this one and i loved main female lead a lot. 😭 also it had some really funny moments 😭

— Toki wo Kakeru Bando (2020) | episodes: 10. genres: comedy, music, romance, sci-fi » #wasnt expecting any crying to happen going into this drama 😩 #miura shohei's performance though?? AMAZING #he had me in tears every time #ryo i love u #not that it's similar but this reminds me of itsuka nemuri ni tsuku hi 🤧 | tags from a post i posted when i watched yeah 😂

— Dr. White (2022) | episodes: 10 (+ 1 special). genres: comedy, drama, medical, mystery. » also another favorite from my five favorite dramas watched in 2022! even though it wasn't finished being subbed until last year i still very much enjoyed what eps i watched back then! like i really looked forward to every episode and soo grateful the subber decided to finish it and subbed the special as well! i might be bias because i love hamabe minami who's the female lead (and is in two other things i mentioned above lol) but all the characters are v likable and they all have great chemistry together! plus i enjoyed the v subtle hint of romance between the two mains like it isn't really there but it is and i was quite satisfied with the ending. 🫶

— Ryosangata Riko: Puramo Joshi no Jinsei Kumitate Ki (2022) | episodes: 10. genres: business, drama, life. » i adore the lead so much, she's the cutest! i find this one to be such a fun and relaxing watch! and there's a cute little hint of romance which was soo good to me and wish we got more of them. 😭 there's also a second season: Ryosangata Riko: Mou Hitori no Puramo Joshi no Jinsei Kumitate ki / with same cast members but set in a new universe that just aired last year!

— Okaeri Mone (2021) | episodes: 120. genres: life, drama, romance. » the number of episodes might scare you but this drama is an asadora (morning drama) which is only 15 minutes per episode! so if you're looking for a longer watch about life with a bit of romance i 10/10 recommend checking it out!! yes hello i always miss them 😭

what i'm currently watching ☕️

— Uchi no Bengoshi wa Te ga Kakaru (2023)| episodes: 11. genres: comedy, law, mystery. » i totally have a thing for law and mystery dramas lol. but i've been enjoying this one a lot and recommend if you want something fun but somewhat serious to watch! and if you just like law dramas like mee 😂

— Nanyobi ni Umareta no (2023) | episodes: 09. genres: drama » this one is keeping me really interested and is definitely a type of drama i haven't really watched much of?? it's engaging, surprising and the actors are great! i feel like most dramas i mentioned are easy going ones to watch besides a few so this one is the latter!

+ special mention if you wanted to watch something base on an manga w anime-like feel ❈

— Kishibe Rohan wa Ugokanai (2020 - 2022) | seasons: 03, episodes: 03, 03, 02. + a movie Rohan au Louvre (2023) genres: horror, fantasy, mystery, thriller, supernatural. » i had been watching since the first one came out in 2020 and i didn't think we would be getting a season every year since and then even a movie! definitely check out if you're in the mood for creepy mystery with pleasing visuals + great outfits!

yeaaah that's it from me! ✌️ i feel like this isn't much of a starter pack-friendly list since it's kind of all over the place sorry 😭 but hope even just one peaks your interest!!

Asian Drama Watchlist & Review for Jan 2020

Wow, got through a lot of shows and films this month compared to my norm (probably due to my lack of a social life, but meh, that’s beside the point)!!!

So here are my thoughts and reviews for the shows I watched in January...  probably not going to be completely spoiler free

And yeah this got long, so putting my reviews below the break so it doesn’t take up the whole wall!!

Finished Watching this month:

1) Ashes of Love

Wowww, what a journey this show takes you on!!  It took me awhile to get through, as I often find with Fantasy CDramas, as I find it hard to binge too many eps at a time, but I was hooked from the start!  I love the actors, the characters, I loved the leads but fell in love with several side characters as well, the angst gave you all the feels, there were plenty of funny moments, and the love stories really made your heart flutter (I especially fell in love with the side love story, which is rare for me!).  Really loved this one!

Where I watched: Viki, also on Netflix

2) TharnType the Series

Hands down one of my favorite BL couples!!  Their chemistry is out of this world.  Are there problematic parts of the show?  Yes, most definitely, especially near the beginning, but their connection and sweet moments are worth it, and honestly I just made up my own head cannon where those parts don’t exist haha!!  I LOVE this couple, they way they look at each other and all the touches, ugh it just does things to me!!  And their acting was fabulous, I fell in love with Mew (more than I already was) and Gulf as well!

Where I watched: Links to Line TV (found on Official TharnType Twitter)

4) Coffee & Vanilla

Skinship, Skinship, Skinship!!  From ep 1, I was like woah!  So I started this one because I saw the 2 leads in Good Morning Call and think Dori Sakurada is just a beautiful human being and had SLS big time, so was curious to see him get the girl this time!!  And yeah he didn’t disappoint, he’s gorgeous and whoooo did that boy have some kinks!  Honestly, I thought their chemistry was good and I thoroughly enjoyed all the skinship scenes, if anything I would have been happy to see more of his kinky side actually get reciprocated haha!!  I personally enjoy a clingy, head-over-heels in love ML, and am for the alpha-male/innocent girl dynamic, and that’s exactly what you get!!!

I can see why this show wouldn’t be for everyone though, it has problematic parts for sure! It has a really weak FL who doesn’t really have a lot of character growth (despite her saying at the end she got stronger, I was like really??  fooled me!  but at least she’s aware of her weakness??), but her “innocent” character is one of the things that drives the story so it didn’t bother me that much.  I could have done without so much manhandling (by pretty much every male in the series).  I could see how it could be triggering for some.  I also thought she had the worst best friend in the world and was way too forgiving.  But if you can get over these points, I enjoyed it quite a lot! I may make some gifs for this one since there are several scenes I liked and no one seems to be making any!!

Where I watched: Viki

3) He is Psychometric

So this was different than I expected.  Not bad by any means, just different.  I was expecting more romance, more healing from shared trauma, etc.  Maybe I was hoping it would be a bit more like Just Between Lovers after seeing that first ep and the trauma?  But I know nothing will ever replace that show in my heart, it will always be a fave!  Anyways, this wasn’t like that one haha!  It was a lot more mystery/crime genre than anything, which isn’t my fave, but there were a few sweet moments and the acting was sooo good and by the time I realized the romance & story wasn’t really what I was expecting I was drawn into the mystery I had to know how it ended!

Where I watched: Viki

5) Theory of Love

I love OffGun as celebrities and in their variety shows, but never saw them in a series so decided to give this one a go!  Wow, I totally ended up in a major binge session with this one!! I didn’t want to stop watching!  I’ve always thought Gun was a cutie, but after seeing him act I have a whole new respect for him.  Did I think it was one of the best BL stories I’ve seen?  No.  But they have great chemistry and it was a cute story overall!  Really enjoyed this one!!

Where I watched: YouTube (GMM channel)

6) Dark Blue Kiss

I’ve seen the various Kiss prequels so was excited about this one!  Honestly, I felt the MorkSun story overpowered PeteKao a bit but am not complaining as I loved both stories!  There were a lot of sweet moments and just enough angst to keep you interested.  But above all, I have to say the superstars of the series were the parents!!  The acceptance every person should get, open talks about sex and condoms, advocating for your child, I mean it really doesn’t get much better!  It hit on many important lgbtq topics and for that alone I thought it was very well-done!  All the couples were very cute and made me root for them!

Where I watched: YouTube (GMM channel)

7) Love by Chance (rewatch)

In prep for the 2nd season I decided to rewatch LBC in a binge session!  Oh my goodness, I forgot how much I missed AePete, I fell in love with them big time the first time around and all of that just came rushing back.  I’m reeeally going to miss Pete in season 2!!!  Their relationship is just so healthy compared to most in the BL world and their chemistry is sooo good!!  They better at least let them stay happy and in love even if Pete is abroad!!  I admit I was never one to get crazy about TinCan, but knowing they’ll be the center of season 2 I watched their scenes more closely and definitely felt a stronger pull for them this time around.  I’m very excited to see how their story continues!!!!

Where I watched: Youtube (Studio Wabi Sabi channel)

8) The Hows of Us

This filipino film stars one of my fave love teams... KathNeil!!  I love their films and that they are a reel to real couple as well!!  I enjoyed this movie a lot, it was more mature than many of their previous works together and showed how they’ve been growing.  It wasn’t a typical falling in love story that ends when the couple gets together but explores how couples grow apart and how real life can sometimes get in the way of our dreams.  I found the film relatable and also optimistic.  And I love the pining and longing looks... that always gets me and there was a lot of it in this film!!

Where I watched: TFC

9) Hotel Del Luna

This is what kdramas are all about - Superb acting, gorgeous cinematography, interesting characters, beautiful OST, the whole production was incredible!  It wasn’t my favorite story ever and it took me several months to finish but it kept puliing my back in and I finally got through it.  I really was mesmerized each ep by how beautiful the whole thing was.  I liked the back story and all the fun side characters. And I swear it was worth watching just for IU’s costumes, hair, and different styles alone!!  I didn’t love the ending, that was my biggest complaint, I guess you could call it “open?”  I just think it could have wrapped up better, but overall it was a beautiful series!

Where I watched: Viki

10) Itsuka, Nemuri Ni Tsuku Hi (Someday When I Fall Asleep)

Wow what a trippy series.  It was short enough to binge in one afternoon and it looked interesting, so that’s exactly what I did.  It was intriguing from the start and there was a mystery about it that kept my interest, it was a bit creepy at times, and had some twists I totally was NOT expecting at all.  Overall it was one of those that made me think and ponder for awhile after, but it did make me a bit sad too, so only watch if you’re willing to experience some feels, but it was a good one and I’m glad I stumbled upon it!

Where I watched: Viki

Currently Watching for Feb:

1) Guardian (woah, another good “bromance” with all those looks!)

2) The Untamed (rewatch - and so far it’s even BETTER the 2nd time around!!!)

3) ‘Cause You’re My Boy (cute so far)

4) Moment of Eighteen (my Astro loving heart was so excited to see Moonbin!!)

5) Until We Meet Again The Series (so many feeeels)

6) Why R U? The Series (jury is still out but I LOVE Saint!)

7) Itaewon Class (super excited for this one, Park Seo Joon, need I say more?!)

8) Crash Landing on You (excellent so far!)

9)  Make it With You (filipino series starring my FAVE love team, LizQuen!!)

Ito Yuna Lyrics: Mamotte Agetai (守ってあげたい; I Wanna Protect You)

English translation and romanization below the cut.

ENGLISH

“I’m fine.” You say that, but if I could take your anxious night and bundle it all up Then I’d be your blanket and hold you in my arms until you fall asleep

We all cried with the same tiny little hands after we’re born So it’s okay, just be you

I’m here because I wanna protect you Because I wanna protect you forever and ever. I want you to believe in me You can go ahead and cry when you feel like crying So no need to push through it, trying to be brave I want you to tell me what I can do for you Because I wanna protect you, because I wanna protect you more I’ll make you a nice warm place so that you’re always able to smile Because I love you

You can redo things as many times as you need. Don’t be afraid of things not going well You’ll come across a tomorrow that’s as kind and strong as the number of times you’ve had your feelings hurt

Living is like being on a journey: sometimes you’ll backtrack, lost But you’ll find your way

I’m here because I wanna protect you Because I wanna protect you forever and ever. I want you to believe in me It’s okay to stand still, to lose. My feelings towards you won’t change I want my loneliness to support you Because I wanna protect you, because I wanna protect you in your entirety Don’t ever forget that I’m on your side, even on rainy days when we’re too far apart to see each other Because I love you

Like the moon, waxing and waning. Like a rainbow after the rain Your sadness will someday become a twinkling star A shining star connecting you to your hopes and dreams

I’m here because I wanna protect you Because I wanna protect you forever and ever. I want you to believe in me You can go ahead and cry when you feel like crying So no need to push through it, trying to be brave I want you to tell me what I can do for you Because I wanna protect you, because I wanna protect you more I’ll make you a nice warm place so that you’re always able to smile baby you have all my love I’m gonna keep laying eyes on you at every given moment 'Cause I love you

鏡よ鏡よ鏡さん 世界で一番可愛がるのはやめてよ

kagami yo kagami yo kagami-san sekai de ichiban kawaigaru no wa yamete yo

Mirror, Mirror, Mr. Mirror, please stop saying that I'm the fairest of all,

棘のような視線迫る

toge no you na shisen semaru

as the others' thorny stares are closing in on me.

優しいフリした彼女が　素敵な晩餐もてなさった

yasashii furi shita kanojo ga suteki na bansan motenasatta

Acting nice and gentle, she prepared for me a wonderful dinner.

そっと口に含むと　［笑み］

sotto kuchi ni fukumu to [emi]

As soon as I took my bite, she smirked...

薄れゆく意思の中で　夢を見てる

usureyuku ishi no naka de yume o miteru

As my consciousness fades, I start having a dream about

いつかのおとぎ話　時が止まる

itsuka no otogibanashi toki ga tomaru

a fairy tale I read in the past. My time has frozen.

お願い KISS で目を醒まして欲しいの

onegai kisu de me o samashite hoshii no

Please, I wish you would wake me up with your kiss,

白い棺から　連れ出すように

and bring me out from this white coffin I'm sleeping in.

突き刺さる憎しみは　ドラマ的な事情

tsukisasaru nikushimi wa doramateki na jijou

Piercing hatred is such a drama-like thing,

祈っても　 王子様は　まだ来ない

inotte mo kimi wa mada konai

but no matter how much I pray, you my prince are still not here.

鏡よ鏡よ鏡さん　ネクタイ任せや　頬に挨拶するから

kagami yo kagami yo kagami-san nekutai makase ya hoho ni aisatsu suru kara

Mirror, Mirror, Mr. Mirror, simply by tying your tie or giving you a peck on the cheek,

妬みを買われてしまった

netami o kawarete shimatta

I ended up stirring up others' jealousy.

7つの小人はいるけど　助ける素振り、知らん振りね

nanatsu no kobito wa iru kedo tasukeru soburi shiranpuri ne

There's also a 7-year-old little kid, but he turned a blind eye to my asking for his help,

そっと首を掴まれ　［笑み］

sotto kubi o tsukamare [emi]

and instead quietly laid his hands around my neck and smirked.

一粒の涙さえも拭えなくて

hitotsubu no namida sae mo nuguenakute

Unable even to wipe my tears away,

呼吸もままならない 視界失せた

kokyuu mo mamanaranai shikai useta

and unable to control my breathing, I blacked out.

消えそうだから　早く駆けて欲しいの

kiesou dakara hayaku kakete hoshii no

I'm about to fade from this world, so please hurry here for me.

訳は聞かないで　応えられない

wake wa kikanaide kotaerarenai

Don't ask my why, because I can't answer that.

望まない憎まれは　深い愛の二乗

nozomanai nikumare wa fukai ai no jijou

I received a lot more detest than love.

もうすぐで　いなくなるのかな

mou sugu de inaku naru no kana

In a little while longer, am I going to disappear for real?

途切れてく　命の音

togirete'ku inochi no oto

My pausing sounds of life,

毒リンゴを食した少女のように　眠りにつく

doku-ringo o shokushita shoujo no you ni nemuri ni tsuku

like a girl who has ingested a poison apple, are falling into a slumber.

お願い KISS で目を醒まして欲しいの

onegai kisu de me o samashite hoshii no

Please, I wish you would wake me up with your kiss.

胸の中の声　届きますか

mune no naka no koe todokimasu ka

Is the voice of my heart reaching you at all?

階段を上ったら　ドアを開けるだけで

kaidan o nobottara doa o akeru dake de

If you can just climb up the stairs and open the door,

見つかるよ　ah…

mitsukaru yo aa

you'll be able to find me there. Ah...

お願い KISS で目を醒まして欲しいの

onegai kisu de me o samashite hoshii no

Please, I wish you would wake me up with your kiss,

白い棺から　連れ出すように

shiroi hitsugi kara tsuredasu you ni

and bring me out from this white coffin I'm sleeping in.

突き刺さる憎しみは　ドラマ的な事情

Piercing hatred is such a drama-like thing,

Ieiri Leo Lyrics: After Dark (アフターダーク)

English translation and romanization below the cut.

ENGLISH

If there were a map that showed me my destiny And you and I were destined to meet You’d be all I’d wanna lay eyes on, even as another cold morning came along

I used to watch the stars twinkle here I spend the night using my headphones to get through my loneliness here in Shibuya

I found the warmth of your body in the rough crowds, the intersecting illusions I’m clutching the pain from that day when I was so scared I couldn’t breathe, and taking it with me into my dreams

If there were a map that showed me my destiny And you and I were destined to meet Then we ought to hurt each other’s feelings You touch the deepest parts of my heart But in reality I’m going to fall asleep again today, unable to say a thing You’re all I ever wanna lay eyes on, even when another cold morning comes along

What are you looking at right now? I wish your honest gaze would pierce through me instead

I looked for an asylum in the space pried open by the light pouring out of the last train of the night Thanks to you, I’ve moistened the lips I used to lie to the grown-ups that day

If there were a map that showed me my destiny And you and I were destined to meet, I’d pray to see you right now, and keep on looking for you

If there were a map that showed me my destiny Then I wouldn’t mind going all the way to the very end knowing I’d eventually make it someday Stay here with me for a little while longer I hold your betrayal, and lies, and your fingers so dear to me I’d like to keep believing in you, even if it means losing myself
