Day 25: Favourite Drama

A big reason I did this here & at bsky was to share less well-known Dramas ESPECIALLY as a reminder that East Asia is so much more than JUST #kDrama. #jDrama & #cDrama have SO MUCH to offer

If this one is available, I REALLY hope some try it out.
I'm into my SIXTH watch, most of the 5 rewatches have been slump-breakers to get me back into the joy of Drama-watching

Day 24: Love Story.

This one was surprisingly easy. Many great romances in 13 years of 600+ East Asian Dramas, but this one came to mind first.
#cDrama #TheTaleOfRose is 38 eps long, time enough to fully develop a rare 30+ love story love story between the FL's brother and her boss. An arc as much about their individual personal growth as their romance

And in a Mastodon-only exclusive, the full clip of imo the most swoonworthy part

Day 23: kiss

Another impossible category, so here's one of my earliest faves. That they were an IRL pair at the time likely helped make this so real

Day 22: Character

Picking A favourite character is absurdly impossible so here are 5 leads

#kDrama Go Eun Chan #CoffeePrince
#jDrama Moriyama Mikuri #NigeruWaHaji
#cDrama 2= Zhong Qing Cheng #DearEnemy Chang Yu'Er #LegendOfTheMagnate
#twDrama Li Da Ren #inTimeWithYou

All real faves, memorable and in many cases now iconoic.

And now the Mastodon-only bonus

#CDrama #TaleOfRose a truly memorable support character with an awesome arc

Oops, got my mom hooked on this one and now I'm crying about horses.

It is a story about underdogs teaming up together to win a horse race. But also about family inheritance. And livelihood inheritance. And the birth rate decline in Japan. And a critique on class and capitalism. And horses.
