Just what the title says.
I know a lot of people watch K-Dramas, and maybe others use that as a catch all for all of it, I don't know.
I wanted to be specific.
Anyone watch Asian tv/movies? I've gotten into it in the past year or so (thanks to
Ghost Bride!).
Some I've really enjoyed:
- Ghost Bride (obviously)
- The Perfect Match
- My Holo Love
- #Alive
- Autumn's Concerto
Obviously, I've got a lot more waiting for me (when I have time), but I'd love some recommendations!

I love Asian dramas too! I watch mostly Korean and Chinese romance dramas. I was motivated to move to China because of my interest in the culture there! 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've been thinking about watching #5!
I love how slow the romance tends to be. I am a sucker for a slow burn!
I have to confess...
I've watched a lot of the ones I've watched because Wu Kang Ren is in them (

) so you're not alone.

I love the slow burn romance in Asian dramas too! You'll love #5! I watched it twice actually. It's a super cute drama. We all have our favorite stars I suppose

Where do you watch dramas? I used to watch them on a site called Viki Rakuten, but now I see that Netflix has a few.

Netflix, mostly. Other streaming, sometimes, but Netflix has so many I want to watch, I just haven't explored other streaming as much.
I've actually found several actor/resses that I've enjoyed, but I don't have access to their other work, or they just don't seem to have done anything else.

One such actor is Liu Shu Hong.
(I do this a lot; find actor/resses that I enjoy and just binge watch everything I can. I have found both wonderful gems that I love, and terrible things that I regret before they're over.)
I've watched
Ghost Bride more than once, and plan to watch a few others over again (definitely
The Perfect Match and
My Holo Love).
Oh, I highly recommend
My Holo Love. It's a romance, but also sci-fi (I love sci-fi and/or paranormal shows). It's absolutely one of my favs!

I can totally relate! A lot of the dramas I watch have the same actors/actresses. There was a Taiwanese actor called Thassapak Hsu - he starred in
Cinderella Chef, but I couldn't find other dramas where he acted in. I'll definitely check out
My Holo Love and
Ghost Bride. Paranormal romance is right up my alley too.
Goblin and
Hotel Del Luna are both paranormal romances. I love the historical romances a lot. Can't seem to get enough of the Chinese historical ones with all of the fancy costumes and elaborate hairdos. I always have a soft spot for the long-haired Asian guys [LOL]. Netflix has a few of the ones on my list, like
Eternal Love (this one is more fantasy romance) and
Cinderella and Four Knights.

Oh my goodness, I just looked him up and I
need to see
My Girlfriend is an Alien!
I would love to hear what you think of those. (I have literally no one to talk to/with about these shows (it's awful), so this has been great. Thank you!

I'll keep in touch about the dramas! None of my friends watch Asian dramas as much as I do either! I just searched
My Girlfriend is an Alien. Omg! I thought he only acted in
Cinderella Chef, but I watched that in 2018 and I had no idea that this drama came out in 2019. I can't find it on Viki, but I saw the trailer on youtube and it looks so cute! Thassapak Hsu is so handsome! I'll have to watch that!
Thanks for your recommendations too!

I also recently watched Alice in Borderland, based on the manga, and loved it! (Looking forward to season 2!)
Nijirô Murakami absolutely stole the whole show as far as I'm concerned.

I binged Ghost Bride on Netflix! I really enjoyed it, the cinematography was so cool! But I wanted more romance!

Goblin and Hotel del Luna are two of my favorites! I started Legend of the Blue Sea a while ago, but I never finished it. I'm watching another supernatural K drama now called Tale of the Nine-Tailed Fox. Maybe you'll like that one. The Grim Reaper from Goblin is the lead actor in this drama

I love
Ghost Bride so much!
Er Lang is my favorite. The silliness and the drama all make it so fun. It also gave me a new favorite actor, so, YAY!
