Favourite Shows
Because I now again have fallen into the trap of trying to rate things objectively, a separate list for my favourite shows is an order.
3/4 10.0s are the top 3, every other rating isn't in descending order because their scores are objective, this list is objective.
Unlike my favourite actresses/actors list, this one is ranked. also if the series has sequels, I'm only putting the first season
-
1. Abunai Deka
Japanese Drama - 1986, 51 episodes
gets the number 1 spot because like with anime, I much prefer long, episodic series with manly men and that cool 80s vibe. Google 'City Hunter'
-
2. The Worst Evil
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
of the current 4 10/10s I have on my list, this is the only one that does not have an ideal ending, and the only Korean instead of Japanese and 1 of 2 that got a 10/10 entirely thanks to quality. For those of you who know me well (none of you), you know that I am VERY hard to please with non ideal endings, but The Worst of Evil had such an amazing story with perfect buildup and a very realistic conclusion.

3. Beach Boys
Japanese Drama - 1997, 12 episodes
A simple life is the ideal life

4. 0.5 no Otoko
Japanese Drama - 2023, 5 episodes
Only 5 episodes but easily some of the best 5 I've seen in all professionally made media ever
-
5. Kou Kou Kyoushi
Japanese Drama - 1993, 11 episodes
This is one of the very very few pieces of fictional media that has made me feel real emotion beyond humour. Plus the ending genuinely got me in pain haha

6. Kekkon Dekinai Otoko
Japanese Drama - 2006, 12 episodes
背中まで45分
idk why but I always think of that song when I see this series. I don't live exactly like Kuwano, but I do enjoy indulging in similar lifestyle choices (peace and serenity being alone at times, the simple things in life) -
7. Douăzeci și Cinci, Douăzeci și Unu
Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
That song stuck in my head. Every time I think about this K-Drama I get the desire to give K-Drama a shot again

8. Di Jiu Jie Ke
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Crazy that the first Taiwanese drama I watch ends up on this list
-
9. Boku to Star no 99 Nichi
Japanese Drama - 2011, 10 episodes
saboten!

10. Nobunaga Concerto
Japanese Drama - 2014, 11 episodes
Solid bruh.
Kichou is beautiful
(it's a 10.0 but not at the top of this list because it's an honourary 10.0, this was the first J-Drama I watched and completed at the start of my current stint.)

11. Friends
Japanese Drama - 2002, 4 episodes

Japanese Drama - 2023, 9 episodes
Very sweet, very easy.
-
13. Chugakusei Nikki
Japanese Drama - 2018, 11 episodes
One of the best told stories I've ever watched, though because I'm not a melodrama fan it doesn't score that high on this list
-
14. Code Blue
Japanese Drama - 2008, 11 episodes
I very much enjoy this hospital drama, just the situations are over exaggerated
-

Wholesome. Also I'm a fan of Nakayama Miho
