Completed 2022 (with notes)
This list contains Dramas as well as Movies. Everything is in order of completion!
Numbers 1, 3 and 6..... I started in 2021
-
1. Foresighted Liu Bo Wen
Chinese Drama - 2015, 40 episodes
Started in Nov. 2021
The story is simple but well written. The acting was good and the whole drama was very colourful ? Liu Bo Wen has a good understanding of human character and therefore has foresight of human behaviour and associated events.
-
2. Saint☆Oniisan
Japanese Drama - 2018, 10 episodes
This was a fun no-brainer watch. Short with eps of 10min
-
3. The Zombie Detective
Korean Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
Started this end 2020 then put it on hold for a year and gave it another chance
It was surprisingly good. No scary zombie's. It was fun and suspenseful
-
4. High School Ghost Story
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
A mysterious ghost story that I enjoyed immensely. NO HORROR, just suspenseful
-
5. Ashes of Love
Chinese Drama - 2018, 63 episodes
Better call it Ashes of Obsession
The pil given to the new born gave a enormous butterfly effect throughout the drama.
Episodes 20 until 34 and the last 3 were for me the most enjoyable ones to watch. The rest was all about obsession and has nothing to do with love. -
6. Sword Snow Stride
Chinese Drama - 2021, 38 episodes
Started in Dec. 2021
Slow pace story. Not as excited as the synopsis says. But enjoyable to watch the unfolding of this intriguing story
-
7. Light on Series: Gold Panning
Chinese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
The weirdest drama I've seen so far ?
It's a good overall story but what annoyed me was that it often looked like they've cut out scenes and that left me with an uneasy feeling of incompletion ☹️
And then the characters, they are all weird, I mean really weird (with 2 or 3 exceptions) like mentally ill or not from this world of something but I did love the mystery of that and it kept me wondering all the time. It was well acted -
8. Schemes in Antiques
Chinese Movie - 2021
-
9. Kai Duan
Chinese Drama - 2022, 15 episodes
This sci-fi thriller, drama was on all accounts fantastic ❤️
-
10. Sword Dynasty
Chinese Drama - 2019, 34 episodes
First part felt like everything was forced, stiff, fake, even the CGI, but surprisingly it got better and better on all levels. The last 2 episodes were not exactly what I expected to be but I've got peace with that.
-
11. Young Blood
Chinese Drama - 2019, 42 episodes
I loved those 6 young bloods with their obvious different characters that somehow complemented each other. The story had a good build-up and there was definitely character development. On all levels good, great and good XD
It is worth the 2nd season, so I'll wait -

-
30. Stick to the Script!
Chinese Drama - 2021, 40 episodes
The only thing that annoyed me was that around every 4min I had to stop and click to the next episode. Not fun to watch a drama like that ☹️
Anyway it's a silly story and a fun cast. -
31. Double World
Chinese Movie - 2020
MOVIE Good story and acting. The CGI was amazing. Recommended as fantasy action movie
-

Didn't expect this but it was way too cool for me, lol. I really loved this ML couple and the story was nice very nice :))
-
33. Tomorrow
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
First 6 eps were suspenseful and the CGI was amazing but then it went a little dull. The story and side story's were good though but not as fantastic anymore.
-
34. Maiden Holmes
Chinese Drama - 2020, 32 episodes
I enjoyed this drama immensely. And the lead couple so compassionate and understanding towards each other and towards the people around them. No clinginess, no childish jealousy, no possessiveness or any of those annoying stuff you see with many lead couples ?
The one and only thing that made me upset was of course the mistreatment of the well-known horse scenes ? -
35. Model Taxi
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
I liked the concept of this drama. Very good production and fantastic played
-
36. Be Reborn
Chinese Drama - 2022, 26 episodes
Good story, great acting! The only thing that was an unnecessary addition to the story was the female head officer from a other / higher department. The suspense-fulness flew right out off.
-
37. Bad Buddy
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
I liked the main story but the way this drama was put together, hectic and jumpy didn't contribute to the whole of my watching experience. Nothing special, except the 2 dudes <3
-
38. Tenno no Ryoriban
Japanese Drama - 2015, 12 episodes
This is a monumental unforgettable top notch drama, based on a true story! ❤️ A must see ?
-
39. Heroes
Chinese Drama - 2022, 38 episodes
It's that I watched this series more or less for the amazing cast and I liked the main story but.....this series was so badly put together, so off that the production team and director should be ashamed of themselves.
-
40. Hotel del Luna
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
A good enjoyable super-natural drama with great main and side stories. The visuals and the sets were amazing.
-
41. The Bride of Habaek
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
I liked it, nothing more or less just a romance story with a super-natural twist.
-
42. Feng Qi Long Xi
Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes
Good story, lots of intelligent dialogues and intriques. This is a great drama to watch on cold winter days and if you're living in the tropics it's great to watch when you are clear minded on those hot summer evenings :))
-
43. Ca un Fluture
Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
An well produced drama with a amazing story and the acting is fantastic.
-
44. Mount Jiri
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Pretty good the only thing I've found annoying is that it has almost nothing of animal appearance. And that while they call them selves Rangers.... shame on the production
-
45. Xing Han Can Lan
Chinese Drama - 2022, 27 episodes
I like how this story evolves. It's a slow burn but it suits me in this period of time. .... Already in part 2
-
46. King Maker: The Change of Destiny
Korean Drama - 2020, 21 episodes
The story was nice but they choose the wrong ML for his role bc he has no charisma what so ever. He looks stoic or melancholic al the time. Nope not fit for this role
-
47. Cang Lan Jue
Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes
Nice watch even though the FL is stupid as hell lol. I loved the character of the ML, Dylan Wang did an outstanding job. The CGI was sometimes very good and sometimes it was bad. The directors team made also some major mistakes. But in overall it was a enjoyable drama!
-
48. Love Like the Galaxy: Part 2
Chinese Drama - 2022, 29 episodes
This drama felt something like The Story of Minglan and Royal Feast. Great story, fantastic acting. I would have given a 10 but the horses are still not 100% healthy and I think that when your an actor/actress and know that you are going to perform in a costume drama that you learn how to ride a horse properly .
-
49. Alchimia Sufletelor
Korean Drama - 2022, 20 episodes
I liked the story, good acting ,well produced and cinematography was fantastic.
There were only some minor dialogue mistakes and I don't even know if it was in the script or in the translation but it was nonsensical. And some props .... they looked cheap and tacky ? -
50. Monkey King: The One and Only
Chinese Movie - 2021
MOVIE: This is a nice movie the watch on a lazy afternoon and don't take it too serious
-
51. Train
Korean Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
This was a well written Sci-Fi drama.
Parallel worlds with the same main story and through an important happening and a mysterious train track some kind of portal opens and the characters will intertwine with each other in both worlds.
This a drama that you have to watch clear-minded and focussed cos if you mis dialogue you probably mis some clues later on. -
52. Fullmetal Alchemist
Japanese Movie - 2017
MOVIE; It's that they are Japanese otherwise it could be Westerner movie all the way. They even used Scottish / Irish music WTH
I give it a 7 bc the story is nice and the acting is good but other than that, nah and I'm doubting if I want to watch the sequels. -
53. Who Am I?
Hong Kong Movie - 1998
MOVIE-CLASSIC: It's a Hong Kong production and recorded in Namibia and the Netherlands. The movie has only 4 Asian actors in it so I can't say it felt Asian. It also was dubbed terribly but it was a fun watch anyway
-
54. Impasse
Chinese Movie - 2021
MOVIE: Good spy story played in the Republican Era, North China.
-
55. Min Guo Da Zhen Tan
Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes
I liked this Chinese drama version of detective stories from famous westerner writers. It has individual investigation cases and a good build up to the main plot.
I watched per case and that was good, I don't recommend to binge watch it ? -
56. Qian Liu Zhui Zong
Chinese Drama - 2022, 40 episodes
It started great then it was good then it got somewhat boring and dragging, C-dramas ? . Then again it came back as good.... but the last eps. what a disappointment. They were weak, over the top and incomplete It certainly lacked a good written finale! What a waste of a good story
-
57. The Evil Face
Chinese Drama - 2022, 18 episodes
This was an amazing short packed drama, well produced and played. No character is out of place and no hanging little side plots. And a nice ending with a little twist
-
58. Doctor Brain
Korean Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
It's a great short drama with "science" and or "supernatural" (well you know science is always behind with the supernatural, first they don't believe it and then you have to prove it and that is of course the job of the scientists)
Anyway I enjoyed it and I really recommend it if you love science, quantum entanglement, suspense and good twists ? -
59. Pyeonggang, Cut to the Heart
Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
I enjoyed it but was disappointed with some important scenes that were shot, so it seemed and then ...... nothing they let you hanging. It's somehow a mess after episode 12 even though my perception changed for the drama it self, it never changed for the ML, his character was undeniable :))
-
60. Yue Yun Hui Sheng
Chinese Drama - 2021, 14 episodes
This was a nice little gem. It's a side-story of Reunion; Sounds of the Providence. Recommended .... watch here with eng subs https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTX9pGhvnv4WRErsTjTj_EcqgDYJt1Iia
-
61. Horror Stories of Tang Dynasty
Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes
Strange stories is fantasy mixed with detective investigation. It was worth the watch but not as binge.
-
62. Candle in the Tomb: Kunlun Shrine
Chinese Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
I had high expectations of this Candle of the Tomb sequel but was disappointed in the whole thing. It looked cheap due to bad CGI and the overall story. Only the acting was good.
-
63. Story of Yanxi Palace
Chinese Drama - 2018, 70 episodes
What to say, it was a long story and I watched bit by bit bc I had troubles with these mean manipulative bishes and this blockhead emperor .... nah not really my kind of story.
In overall this is a fantastic drama, scores on all levels but nah...... I prefer MingLan over this anytime ? -
64. Douluo Continent
Chinese Drama - 2021, 40 episodes
After dropping the first time, bc I found that the FL was childish, I gave it another shot and this time I was probably in a other mood set and I enjoyed it and the FL didn't annoy me.
-
65. Fei Hu Wai Zhuan
Chinese Drama - 2022, 40 episodes
A very good wuxia drama. Lots of great fighting scenes. I liked the story and the acting. Much watch if you love wuxia
-
66. Dating in the Kitchen
Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
I'm not in to shallow love stories but this was a enjoyable love story :))
-
67. Hatsukoi
Japanese Drama - 2022, 9 episodes
This was a heavy love story. It was sad and beautiful. The first episodes were somewhat confusing but it became more clear about the how's and what's of the relationships after these eps. For the serious love drama lover :)
-
68. Eighteen Arhats of Shaolin Temple
Chinese Movie - 2020
Great based on truth story about 18 Buddhist shaolin monks who were sent to the frontier in a war with Japanese invaders in the age of the Ming Dynasty.
-
69. Nowhere Man
Taiwanese Drama - 2019, 8 episodes
This was a very unusual crime drama and certainly not for under 18 yrs. Even I got red ears at times ?
Anyway it has a fantastic plot with a unsuspected twist and good ending but if I hadn't seen the details I would have seen it as confusing. -
70. One Thousand Dollar Lawyer
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
This was a mix of light/serious, comical/sad it had a good main story line. Great acting but I was very very
disappointed in the lastepisode. That's why I gave it a 6.5 rating. -
71. Inside Criminal Minds
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
A serious well produced and acted crime profiler drama.
-
72. Not Me
Thai Drama - 2021, 14 episodes
I liked the story about the group young adults that fight against the oppressing bureaucrats and the corrupt wealthy corporations. The twin thing was a nice tough but imo it shown to little of the twins connection and stuff. Anyway it was nice, nothing more nothing less
-
73. Qing Chuan Daily Life
Chinese Drama - 2022, 40 episodes
A fantastic drama with lots of sisterhood and friendships. Great chemistry between the characters and not ott romance. Some director mistakes but no biggies
-
74. Qing Jun Ci Jiao
Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes
The story was nice but, for me, the main leads were disappointing in their acting or chemistry or whatever, something was missing. And there were quite some mistakes made in scenes and dialogue
-
75. Pee Mak
Thai Movie - 2013
MOVIE : Cute horror comedy
-
76. Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils
Chinese Drama - 2021, 50 episodes
Great main story with good side stories. The CGI and the fighting scenes were at times ott. Only one girl (starting ep 25) annoyed me like h#$ll. What are chinese writers mind-sets when they write in a character like that. Are most chinese girls like that? Do they miss love them selves, is it a male thing? What? I skipped a lot bc of her.
-
77. Imawa no Kuni no Alice 2
Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Ended Dec 31th, Last on of 2022
Not as great as S01 but never the less a good watch and a satisfactory end
