I love The Untamed (C-Drama) and Love Destiny - the series not the movie (Thai Drama). I would not mind rewatching them. I am currently re-watching The Untamed for the 5th time. I wish it was the case with Love Destiny - but Netflix removed the series and added the movie. And the site I found the series on - does not have English subtitles.

The last one I saw was My Demon. I would recommend it to those that like a supernatural love story. The leads had great chemistry and were interesting characters. It can get dark at times with the villains, but there is humor to help lighten things up.

I think Asian series and movies offer a diverse and captivating range of storytelling, often rich in cultural depth and visually stunning cinematography. They provide a unique perspective on various themes, from historical dramas to modern romances, blending tradition with innovation. The attention to detail in these productions are truly impressive, making them a delightful experience.

I love K-dramas, I haven't watched many Korean movies yet but I'm definitely a fan of their shows.
my recent favourites are:
Crash landing on you
Hotel Del Luna
My Demon
Marry my Husband
The Tale of the Nine-tailed
Mystic pop-up bar

I'm clearly a romantic but I love those shows and recommend checking them out!

I have only watched one Asian drama - Loving, Never Forgetting - and it was undoubtably one of the best series I have ever seen. It was so emotionally intense that each time I watched, I couldn't wait to see the next episode. One thing I really loved about this series is that it ended very well with all the truth coming out and all relationships mended. A truly happy ending! It makes me curious about other Chinese dramas, if all are as good as this one.

I actually worked in Asian cinema and even before that was a big fan of mostly the Hong Kong films of the 90s. I hear a lot about the K-dramas and several of my fans are addicted to them but I myself have not had the time to watch any of them. Sounds like there are more fans of them here too.

I'm learning Japanese and immersion really helps, so other than watching a bunch of anime I'm also looking for J-dramas to get into. If you know any good ones, send them my way!
