My Dramaland Darlings!

I need a quick pick-me-up of a genre that will have me giggling even though life is hard. Happy ending is a must. Action is fine. Romance, Found Family, and Great Friendships are highly desired.

What should I watch?

It's an awful choice. Viki subtitles are why I pay the money for a subscription. The volunteers do an amazing job of incorporating cultural context into the titles.

I think we should start a feedback campaign. Here's a link to the Viki ideas form (in English): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfuGBubZVC28EN2gJa58CCsBRbuRNDcPX8wjw919FVuukZy5w/viewform

If anyone else wants to contribute their "idea" to keep the volunteers and ditch the AI.

Day 8: Enemies to lovers

The Song Joong Ki #kDrama #InnocentMan qualifies, as does the #twDrama #BehindYourSmile but since this is about favourites, the 9.9/10 I gave to #LoveToHateYou makes it a clear winner:

A FUN romcom with just about everything right - including lots of on point social commentary, and the complete absence of serial killers

새해 복 많이 받으세요!
Happy Lunar New Year!

It's that time again. Strictly for fun. Post early, post late, post once, post every day. If you share your Asian Drama joy, we all *win*!

Worst case of 2nd Lead Syndrome?
Most memorable villain?

Day 31: Your favourite drama of 2025. #EYDC2025

#cDrama #kDrama #jDrama #twDrama

This was really hard. For this one question, I've decided to limit myself to Dramas from 2025, and have ended up calling a tie:
For feeling thoroughly RIGHT to me, right to the end
#cDrama #DearEnemy which I wrote about here:

and for making me smile, a lot 😍 😍

Day 30: Was 2025 a good drama year for you? #EYDC2025
#cDrama #kDrama #jDrama #twDrama

The numbers don't lie.
2025 was emphatically NOT a good Drama year for me:

It was a GREAT Drama year for me. The most remarkable element? The rise of the Middle Kingdom - reaching previously untouched completion ratios and a staggering average completed score

Day 29: A 2026 drama you're excited for. #EYDC2025

#cDrama #kDrama #jDrama #twDrama

There's only one 2026 Drama I know about for sure that I'm excited to see, and it's a #jDrama - and a second season!😱

Really hoping that lightning does strike twice and we get a second serving of sweetness and GREAT food from these two

Nagatan to Aoto2

Day 28: An industry change you want to happen. #EYDC2025

#cDrama #kDrama #jDrama #twDrama

Not one, but two, and they are both relevant to all the tagged Drama countries:

1. Humane, civilised working conditions for the crews - INCLUDING ACTUALLY PAYING THEM ( especially looking at YOU, #kDrama )

2. Investing in skilled human translators for subtitling, resisting the allure of AI slop.

Meanwhile some of us in Pacific-Asia who've been watching #Cdrama (especially #Wuxia genre) since the 80s are going somewhere else: #Tdrama / #ThaiDrama. Some are also coming back to #Jdrama, and also discovering #Pdrama.
