Top 10 must watch
My top 10 Asian dramas recommendations. Some of them are not really famous but i think everyone must watch.
-
1. The Untamed
Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes
THE BEST DRAMA I ever watched. Greatest points: the best chemistry between the leads (Xiao Zhan & Wang Yibo are perfect), great scenery and costumes, amazing music. (Wuxia, mystery, bromance, historical, fantasy, adapted from novel )
-
2. Children of Nobody
Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes
The best k-drama but sadly underrated. It deals with really heavy topics. Perfect for a dark mystery sucker like me. ( dark, mystery, crime thriller, social problems, child abuse, no romance)
-
3. Vincenzo
Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
A corapted company, Italian Mafia members, a battle between the bad and the worst. It is really refreshing and it isn't actually dark. (dark, black comedy, mafia, corapted company, villains, crime)
-
4. Squid Game
Korean Drama - 2021, 9 episodes
The most succesful Netflix series. People are playing children games and a really gore analogy of the contemporary society. (thriller, gore, dark, social issues, children games, human nature, no romance)
-
5. Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
A small beautiful town, reallistic society and characters, strong, real women and good written romance with great chemistry. (rom-com, found family, small town, great chemistry, strong female lead)
-
6. Itaewon Class
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Amazing, interesting, well-writen characters with real development. Extra point the amazing OSTs. (found family, growing-up, success, food, romance, chasing dreams)
-
7. Extracurricular
Korean Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
Parasite vibes and same theme, a high school drama like no other. It deals with sex trafficking, mental health issues, bullying etc in a great and well-written way. Also, great acting. (dark, crime, thriller, social problems, underage prostitution, high school, class differences)
-
8. Flower of Evil
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Lee Joon Gi's best drama by faaaar. Someone has commited a crime and tries to not get caught with a new identity fooling everyone. But is it really like that? Great plot and trully realistic the main relationship. (crime thriller, mystery, romance, family)
-
9. My Country: The New Age
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
The best historical k-drama. Interesting story and one of the greatest bromances and the most awkward main couple ever (historical, revenge, bromance, action, great actors, romance)
-
10. I Told Sunset about You
Thai Drama - 2020, 5 episodes
The BEST Thai BL out there. It is really reallistic and interesting. Extra points: Phuket and great outside scenes (BL, coming of age, growing up, school, reallistic relatioships)
P.S.: Also, I highly recommend to watch the second season I Promised You the Moon. I cannot choose which one is better.
