I’ve never actually watched MiSa. Heard it’s good so I should probably watch it, but I’ll have to wait until I’m in the mood for something that’ll make me cry buckets of tears! ^^

This is such a fantastic list you compiled. I agree with all your choices for the Chinese dramas. Bu Bu Jing Xin remains as one of my favorites. Have you read Palace? It’s very similar to BBJX’s story; actually it’s the same but a different adaptation with a new cast. ๐

Gong with Feng Shao Feng and Yang Mi? I tried watching it once upon a time but it was merely a poorly produced, plagiarized version of BBJX so I stopped ๐
LikeLiked by 1 person
Haha, yes. I definitely see what you mean. I think I just love the story of BBJX so much that I didn’t care if the production value and quality was considerably less than original. I needed something to help get me over the intense feels with the ending of the original. ๐

Omg our kdrama tastes are quite similar (Healer!!! <3). I like how you watch a variety of dramas too. People don't talk about chinese and taiwanese dramas as much as korean ones, and I've been looking around for recommendations. Have you seen the Taiwanese version of In Time With You? It's pretty good!

Ooohhh some of our favs are the same too! My top 2 Chinese dramas are also ๆญฅๆญฅๆๅฟ and ็ ็ๆฆ! I read your NiF review post before and after I watched it, and its so relatable! It really is a masterpiece and every single moment is meant to be treasured. And even though I don’t watch much chinese/hk/taiwan dramas, I might just watch them seeing your reviews ๐ As for korean dramas, i’m currently watching CitT, Signal, and Remember too! I feel like the current shows airing are real good and full of substance unlike the stereotypical over-the-top kdramas. I’ve watched most of your top 10 kdramas, and it seems like you enjoy those with a romantic storyline ๐ Thank you for this wonderful blog and hopefully you’ll continue posting!

Glad to hear that we have similar drama tastes! I highly recommend checking out the HK dramas on the list if you haven't watched them before. They are fantastic and do a wonderful job balancing romance and procedural.
I'm currently watching CITT, Signal and DotS. Dropped Remember early on.
Anyways, thanks for reading this little blog of mine and hope you'll drop by again! ๐
