[Top Ten Tuesday] Top Ten Favourite Series/Dramas that I Recently Watch

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

Well, another episode of me going back to join another prompt from Top Ten Tuesday. So, when I looked up the topic, it turns out it is a non-book freebie for this week. Since recently I watched a lot of series or dramas, I decided to choose this topic. Anyway, I watched a lot of Korean and Japan dramas. Here we go.



1. Still 2Gether (2020)


Well, to be honest, I never watch a Thai series before 2Gether. This time, I rewatch the series and I became really adored the story of Sarawat (Bright Vachirawit) and Tine (Win Metawin) here. In this sequel, the story is more focused on their journey as a long-term couple. There are so many sweets moment of them. One of my favourite scenes would be on the third episode of this series. Oh my goodness, Sarawat become sweeter and Tine is also being cuter.


2. Crash Course in Romance (2023)


To be honest, the reason I watched this series was because of Jung Kyungho who played Choi Chiyeol, the star teacher that admired by all of the high-school students, and also their parents. This drama is quite fresh and also funny. Therefore, we won't have to be bored. 


Maybe, the mystery part of this series is a little bit vague, but I still love the story anyway. Also, clap to Jeon Doyeon who portrayed Nam Haengseon perfectly.


3. Alchemy of Souls Season 2: Light and Shadow (2022)


Actually, I love both Seasons 1 and 2. For me, the story between Jang-uk (Lee Jae Wook) and Naksu/Bu-yeon (Go Youn Jung) is very wholesome. Even though the second season is darker than the first one, I still find a bright vibe from Jang-uk and Bu-yeon. Argh, they are so cute being together. A lot of comedic scenes that made me smile throughout the entire series. What I love the most is, how in AoS 2, every conflict for each character can be resolved well at the end.


I really would like to recommend this series because the story is very enticing and fun. 



4. Blind (2022)

Mystery? Thriller? Plot twist? If you are into that kind of thing, you should watch Blind. I've been a fan of mystery thriller drama for a while. Therefore, when my friend suggests I watch Blind, I was very excited. The story is really complicated and engaging from the very start. You could sympathize with each of the characters. 

Of course, I have to give a big applause to Ok Tae-cyeon who can portray Ryu Sungjoon well. But still, tho, I still resent Sunghoon very much. It hurts :( 

5. To My Star Season 2: Our Untold Stories (2022)

Do I have a soft spot for the sequel of a BL story? Maybe I have. To My Star 2 is the continuation of the love journey between Kang Seojoon (Son Woohyun) and Han Jiwoo (Kim Kangmin). Some incidents made Jiwoo leave Seojoon. He decided to go to the countryside. Meanwhile, Seojoon couldn't understand why Jiwoo leave him. Of course, in the middle of his career crisis, Seojoon also has to manage his life as an actor and pursue his love back.

I don't know. For me, To My Star 2 told us about a deeper relationship between Seojoon and Jiwoo. I love how they become more honest here. 

6. Mystic Pop-up Bar (2020)

Mystic Pop-up Bar is one of my all-time favourite K-dramas. It told us about a magical bar managed by Weolju (Hwang Jungeum), a hot-tempered woman who can enter someone's dream to fix their problem. In manage day by day activities, Weolju is assisted by Chef Gwi (Choi Won-young), the former Afterlife Police who voluntarily helps her.

Weolju encounters with Han Kangbae (Yook Sungjae), made her assignment so much easier. Yeah, she runs the bar to pay for her sins in the past. The Afterlife Court sent her to the Living Realm to settle the grudges of 100.000 souls and comfort them.

I love how each episode has its own stories. The interaction between Weolju, Chef Gwi, and Kangbae is also very funny. Therefore, I will never be bored watching them,


7. Twenty-Five Twenty-One (2022)

I am aware that this drama doesn't have an ending that we want, but from Haedo (Kim Taeri) and Yijin (Nam Joohyuk), we can learn about friendship, dreams, and also love. To be honest, I am still very frustrated because we won't be able to see the 'now' version of Baek Yijin. But, I should admit that every episode here is totally engaging. Moreover, their soundtrack is really good. One of my favourites would be Your Existence by Wonstein.

8. Business Proposal (2022)

Business Proposal is one of the K-dramas that I watched when it was still ongoing. This is a very sweet and comedic drama. It is worth watching when you wanna relax and not think too much. Even though the plot felt very common, which is an ordinary employer who falls in love with her CEO, I just found that this drama can execute that story well.

9. Our Beloved Summer (2021)

Can I just be Ung in real life? If you want to find a good and relaxed drama, Our Beloved Summer could be your choice. It's a healing story and you can really want to be Ung in real life. I love the heartwarming stories in this drama and every layer of the stories got the resolution after all. I also love how they portrayed the life of an artist and communication consultant, a job that feels so new in the modern era (?). Lol. 


10. My Love Mix-up! (2021)

Well, My Love Mix-up! is definitely one of my all-time favourite BL dramas. Aoki (Michida Shunsuke) and Ida (Ren Megure) are your sweet couple. Their story is simple yet makes my heart warm. What I love the most about this drama is how everyone around Aoki and Ida didn't make any prejudice about their relationship. Argh, I just love Idaoki so much here.

Actually, there are more series or dramas that I want to mention, such as Tomorrow, Little Women, and also Under the Queen's Umbrella (Oh my goodness! I totally forgot about this one). But, well, maybe later I can share more about it.

So, thank you in advance for visiting. Hope you can have fun on this post and we can share more about our favourite series/drama that we watched.

Sincerely,
Ra

  3. My post this week is also on Asian dramas! I was planning on watching "Twenty-Five Twenty One" after all the episodes were out, but I watched as Tumblr exploded after the last episode. 😂 I also skipped out on the second part of Alchemy of Souls because I was afraid it had a sad ending. I've heard it does not so maybe I'll go back to it one day. You can see my post here: http://www.shelfleigh.com/2023/04/top-ten-tuesday-favorite-asian-dramas.html
