New and Updated Top 10 Taiwanese/Chinese dramas

Aug 09, 2009 15:39

Twdramas were my first drama loves (Mars and Meteor Garden were my first and second drama, respectively) and you never forget your first love, do you?

That is why, much as I might love the slickness of kdrama and the understatedness of jdrama, few things will get me as giddy or emo as a well-done twdrama.

So, after I’ve done my Top Dozen Jdramas ( Read more... )

black and white, mars, youtube, doramas2, silence, love contract, meteor garden, it started with a kiss, the outsiders, corner with love, my lucky star, screencaps, why why love, return of the condor heroes

Vic and Barbie, yes indeed :). Mars (also my first drama) is still my number one, but Black & White was also excellent.

Of the ones on this list that I haven't seen yet, I'm contemplating watching Love Contract in the near future. The Outsiders sounds just way too depressing :/ (and I did make it through Silence...).

I am contemplating LC too. I know all about how trainwreck-y it is but too many friends have been blown away by certain parts of it for me not to be interested. I made it halfway through the Outsiders before it got too depressing but for some reason I can't wait for Outsiders 2, which remains unsubbed(maybe cause I know the whole thing is Misery! whereas Outsiders they tease us with bits of happiness and suck us into the DOOM). It is good though:)

TO2 is available through lainemma - I like it but prefer TO.

I think TO and LC are way less depressing than Silence :)

How do you like B&W?

Your list is pretty much mine. I'd probably put Iswak higher (I blame Chengy). I loved loved loved My Lucky Star. It started of slow, and I almost quit, but I was so glad I hung in there. I haven't watched love contract and ROCH though, and I'm afraid to finish Silence and the Outsiders. There will be pain and angst.

ROCH is very very wuxiaish and I got a bit tired of random old dudes with bears but the OTP is so very good.

I agree with a good portion of this list.
Mars is definitely my fav TWdrama. Pitch perfect.

Mars was my first drama - I got lucky.

hello fellow dylan kuo fangirl
have you seen prince + princess 2?

i read that its about a tough girl who falls in love with a rich sissy guy (played by dylan kuo). i'm just about to start with it because it may just bring about comfort and more prettiness that was cruelly taken away by tragic ending of the outsiders.

Oooh, will check it out, thanks!
