Haven't seen Moon Lovers yet. Looks really cute from the Say Yes MV though. That's one of my fav Kdrama OST songs without even seeing the show itself.

It's great, I advise you to watch it, but prepare a lot of tissues, as I was sad for a week after it ended, to get out of his state of mind . The OST is a world by itself,very very good

Thanks for the recommendation. It's for sure on my list to check out sometime. I'll be prepared for some serious emotions.

Eternal love of dream is an historical fantasy romance. I couldn't get enough of it. The plot of an endless and pre destined love, even in different lifetimes was mind blowing, also the chemistry between the ML and FL was off the charts. I strongly recommend this Chinese drama to other hopeless romantics. The ending is also well deserving.

I mainly watch jdramas now! Asiancrush and Rakuten Viki are both just focused on Asian dramas, so you can find Japanese, Korean, and Chinese dramas on there. Mischievous Kiss: Love in Tokyo and An Incurable Case of Love are my current favorites!

I really like them. Here in Kenya, they mostly bring to us their tv series translated into the english language. Most of them are the Soap Operas. Thalmost all involve relationships and love.

I haven't seen the ones you enjoyed, but I'll look them up. I'll list my favorite ones below. Most of the Chinese dramas feature my favorite actress (Dilraba Dilmurat) so if you watch any of the C dramas on my list, she'll be in it [LOL].

1. Goblin (K-drama)
2. Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, also known as Eternal Love (C-drama)
3. Pretty Li Huizhen (C-drama)
4. The King's Woman (C-drama)
5. Cinderella and Four Knights (K-drama)
6. Cinderella Chef (C-drama)
7. Hotel Del Luna (K-drama)
8. Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (K-drama)
I have watched Goblin, Hotel Del Luna, and Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo. And I loved them. Thanks for the list - I will watch the others you have mentioned.
