#like once is ok just to see how a japanese drama translates to a thai drama but more than that is just TOO MUCH.

asian drama asks...

well… I know it’s an ask thingy created by kpop-asks-etc​ , but I really wanna do it as a tag, because I’m a kdrama fan way more than I am a kpop fan (even though my blog says otherwise, it’s true), and i post so little about dramas on this channel, so here you go. whoever wants to do it, feel free.

1: Favorite K-Drama? I have two favorite dramas; I can’t choose between them and I always recommend them both: Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo and Reply 1997 😍 WATCH THEM, NOW, STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND GO WATCH THEM, GO, GO, GO (my advice: watch Reply 1997 first, then watch a light drama in between, then watch Scarlet Heart; I cried my eyes out in both, but SHR was way worst, I sobbed in every episode for like… the last 5 episodes.)

2: Least favorite K-Drama? My Secret Romance 😩

3: First K-Drama you watched? Technically the first drama I ever watched was Boys Over Flowers, but the first one I ever finished was Heirs

4: Last K-Drama you watched? Fight My Way; very nice, saved the year (so far)

5: K-Drama OTP(s)? I don’t usually have OTP’s, I ship characters but it’s not like OHW MA GOD OTP, however, there is one that… 🙆🏼🙆🏼🙆🏼

6: K-Drama NOTP(s)? I don’t thing I have NOTP’s 🤔

7: Preferred drama genre? Romance(?) IDK is that a genre? Lately I’ve been into Slice of Life/Realistic

8: First drama you considered your favorite? Emergency Couple

9: Favorite Korean actor(s)? Favorite of Favorites: Lee Joon Gi. Favorites: Seo In Guk, Lee Min Ho, Song Joong Ki, Gong Yoo, Kang Ha Neul

10: Favorite Korean actress(es)? Yoon Eun Hye, Jun Ji Hyun, Lee Sung Kyung, Shin Hye Sun

11: Favorite K-Drama cliche? oh lord so many… let me think (and google it)… rich guy-poor girl, friends to lovers, hate-to-love, forced cohabitation, arranged/contract marriages turned romances, 

12: Least favorite K-Drama cliche? amnesia (when used later in the drama or to justify bad decisions or create unnecessary drama), wrist grab (so stupid 😡), back hug (if it’s done right, it’s ok), evil mother/mother-in-law, closed mouth kiss (not like pecks or little chaste adorkable ones but the ones when you can clearly see they’re not moving not breathing completly petrified), cross dressing (I liked it in the beginning coffee prince 💙, I’ve just grown tired of the girls LITERALLY looking like girls instead of boys and no one ever suspects anything)

13: Top five K-Dramas? Since I’ve already mentioned my 2 favorites (read question 1), I won’t count those. So: Coffee Prince, Emergency Couple, Descendants of the Sun, Secret Garden, Boys Over Flowers

14: Boys Over Flowers or Secret Garden? ugg why, hmmmm SG

15: Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo or Cheese in the Trap? I didn’t watch CitT, but I watched WFKBJ and it was pretty great 😊

16: Jealousy Incarnate or Oh My Ghostess? Again, only watched OMG, was cute

17: Descendants of the Sun or W: Two Worlds? DOTS (gave up on W, even tough i like Lee Jong Suk’s acting)

18: Moonlight Drawn by Clouds or Legend of the Blue Sea? Didn’t watch MDbC, but LotBS was kind not what I was expecting (was pretty meh)

19: Strong Woman Do Bong Soon or Shopping King Louie? Didn’t Watch SWDBS because had watched Weightlifting Fairy a moth before and wasn’t up for something with the same theme, currently am on episode 2 of Louie

20: Reply 1997, Reply 1994, or Reply 1988? 1997 (haven’t watched the others, don’t want to)

21: Lee Jong Suk or Ji Chang Wook? Never watched Ji Chang Wook’s acting (I’m curious, but he usually does kind thriller/crime/mystery dramas which I’m not really into)

22: Song Joong Ki or Park Bo Gum? Never watched Park Bo Gum’s acting (but want to)

23: Jo Jung Suk or Seo In Guk? my love, Seo In Guk

24: Jisoo or Nam Joo Hyuk? HOW CAN I CHOOSE 😱😓😥 NJH just because I’ve seen more dramas with him

25: Park Hyung Sik or Kim Soo Hyun? Neither, i don’t really like their acting

26: Favorite Lee Min Ho drama? oh shit… I think I’ve watched every LMH drama except for City Hunter and Faith… I’ll choose Personal Taste cause I’ve mentioned BOF before

27: Favorite K-Drama bromance? I can only think of Goblin when the word ‘bromance’ is mentioned, but I didn’t like the bromance in that drama, even though both Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook ‘s acting were good.. oh wait! Park Seo Jun and Siwon in She Was Pretty

28: Favorite K-Drama friendship? Coffee Prince, Fight My Way and Reply 1997 have very nice friendships

29: Favorite actor/actress duo? (one male, one female) HA! well she’s not really and actress but the cat from Imaginary Cat and Yoo Seung Ho

30: Favorite actor duo? ugh IDK I think I’ve mention Scarlet Heart a lot in this…

31: Favorite actress duo? oooooo Jung Ji Hyun and Hong Jin Kyung

32: Do you watch dramas with 30+ episodes? I tend not to, I think I only watched Temptation of Wife and The Mystic Nine…

33: Thoughts on web-dramas based around idol groups? (ex: EXO Next Door) aaaaaaaaaaaa no

34: Favorite idol actor? D.O. and T.O.P

35: Favorite idol actress? Jung Eunji and IU

36: Song Hye Kyo or Han Hyo Joo? SHK

37: Nam Ji Hyun or Park Bo Young? NJH (great in Angel Eyes, pretty good so far in SKLouie)

38: Jung Eunji or Bae Suzy? Eunji

39: Jung So Min or Kim So Hyun? KSH (very talented)

40: Kim Seul Gi or Kim Go Eun? KSG (but Go Eun is good too)

41: Favorite Park Shin Hye Drama? i don’t like her at all, but Pinocchio i guess…

42: Favorite K-Drama kiss scene? why can’t I post gifs on this damn thing? anyway, from Reply 1997, the one when Seo In Guk has a hideous orange shirt with a vest, from DOTS, the wine one, when Song Joong Ki is in his green military uniform

43: One K-Drama you could rewatch over and over? see question 1

44: How often do you watch C-Dramas? not often; tried to watch Cruel Romance once but was dumb enough to watch the sample instead of the actual episode and never came back to it, watch The Mystic Nine this year because of Yixing, was pretty great until episode 15, then kinda not

45: How often to you watch Thai Dramas? never watched it, considering watching the Full House version, mainly because the leads did a honeymoon travel magazine photoshoot recently and they looked like they have such great chemistry

46: How often do you watch J-Dramas? the only one I’ve watched was Switch Girl, pretty traumatizing tbh (love japanese drama movies though)

47: Least preferred type of drama between Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and Thai dramas? How can I judge if I majorly watch Korean dramas? It’s not like I hate the rest, I just watch kdramas a lot

48: Favorite C-Drama? not enough experience to judge

49: Favorite J-Drama? not enough experience to judge

50: Favorite Thai Drama? not enough experience to judge

51: Go-to K-Drama when you have nothing else to watch? I don’t have a drama, but i have a trope: the rich lives of chaebol

52: Favorite male lead character? i really loved all of the Reply 1997 characters and I’ve seen Seo In Guk in other roles, but Yoon Yoon Jae was probably 81% of the reason why I love that drama so much

53: Favorite female lead character? Chun Song Yi was everything

54: Recommend 3 fluffy AF dramas Weightlifting Fairy, Choco Bank and Queen of the Ring

55: Recommend 3 angsty AF dramas can only think of SHRyeo and We Broke Up

56: Recommend 1 mini-drama (any # of episodes, each last) Queen of the Ring is nice

57: Recommend 1 mini-series (30+ episodes, 1hr long each) don’t have one

58: List 3 dramas you plan you watch Arang and the Magistrate, My Girlfriend is a Gumiho and The Moon Embracing the Sun

59: Tell a random story involving K-Dramas +/- 2 years ago, when I was watching Coffee Prince, my mom would look at the screen and ask what they were saying (i watched with eng sub) and I had to translate. she asked so many times I ended changing the sub to portuguese (thanks viki) so she could understand. it is the only drama we watched together, she would get so mad if I watched an episode without her and until this day she recognizes Gong Yoo and Yoon Eun Hye

60: Name one drama you dropped, and explain why the most recent was Wednesday 3:30 p.m. thought it would be a cute childhood friends turned lovers drama but the first episode disappointed me a lot plus it was nothing like what I was hoping it was
