Dramas Watched 2021
Just a list of the dramas I've watched in the year. In order of my ratings.
-
1. Do You Like Brahms?
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Im not normally a fan of a slow burn romance but everything about this drama was so good. The melodrama was so good and the angst was on another level. It was amazing to see the female lead grow into her own and the same for the male lead. They grew as characters as did the rest of the main cast and I loved the friendship drama. The female lead and her best friend were great together
-
2. Forever Love
Chinese Drama - 2020, 28 episodes
Loved it so much. Everything was great, the couple stayed together through everything and the side couples were fun too.
-
3. The Love Equations
Chinese Drama - 2020, 27 episodes
Loved everything about this drama. Everything was great. Second Lead Syndrome happened but I shipped the main leads more. The side couples were interesting and I cared about them too.

4. Please Feel At Ease Mr. Ling
Chinese Drama - 2021, 24 episodes
I had the best time watching this drama. So much fun and though I didn't care for one of the side couples (the youngest brother & 2nd female lead), the other 2 were so cute and the main couple was the cutest ever. I did not expect the plot twist of who the villains were.

5. The One Day Destruction Entered the Front Door of My House
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Loved this drama so much. It was a perfect mix of angst and fluff. The side characters were fun and added something to the story, I liked the second female lead love triangle. Didn't care for one of the guys. Really did have a fun time watching. The friendship between the female leads was great too.
-
6. A Terrifying Cohabitation
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Loved this so much. It was the cutest thing ever. The secondary couple were literal idiots in love. The Main leads were the best but the second lead syndrome was real. The second lead really had the most character growth.
-
7. Use For My Talent
Chinese Drama - 2021, 24 episodes
loved this drama and everything that happened. Apart from the little bro/bff love story, I loved everything about this drama. It was just that amazing. The chemistry between Shen Yue and Jasper Liu was brilliant and I need another drama with them as the leads. The second Lead was just kinda sad, he never had a chance. The other secondary couple was the cutest, I loved them.
-
8. Secrets in the Lattice

11. Yumi's Cells
Korean Drama - 2021, 14 episodes
This was such a unique story. Some of my favourite parts were with the cells. I knew they were going to break up at the end going into the drama. However, I loved seeing their relationship and the growth of other characters too. I am excited to see where season 2 goes. Very excited for season 2.

I loved every second of this drama. I didn't expect there to be such a mix of genres but they all blended in so well I loved every second of it and had the most fun watching each and every episode. The acting by every single character was phenomenal and the whole cast was brilliant.

14. The Best of You in My Mind
Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
Loved this drama. Fun to watch and cute but had its heartfelt moments. I liked how there was no breakup. The side characters were fun and I want a season 2 about the side couple. Didn't care about the brother's love story though.

17. Time Teaches Me to Love
Chinese Drama - 2018, 24 episodes
It was a cute drama. Had fun watching it, I liked that the 2nd female lead didn't become the villain or blame the main lead for the hero not liking her, the friendship between the female leads was genuine and I like that.

18. Mr Honesty

Loved this drama more than I expected. It was good fun and had a lot of fun watching it. The second lead syndrome was real.
-
19. Imitation
Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
I loved this drama so much. It was amazing and I loved practically every single side character and other characters. I would've liked it if the villain actually crashed and burned but it was still a good ending. The mystery aspect was quite interesting and though I didn't agree with how the male lead treated the female lead at the beginning, it was cute to see him chase after her. The acting from everyone was phenomenal.
-
20. Unforgettable Love
Chinese Drama - 2021, 24 episodes
This was such a fun drama to watch. The chemistry between the main leads was amazing and the acting was brilliant. I loved the friendship between the main female leads. I didn't care for the other couples but that's nothing new with me. The little child was undoubtedly the cutest part of the drama.
-
21. Falling Into Your Smile
Chinese Drama - 2021, 31 episodes
I didn't expect to love this drama as much as I did. It was such a wild ride and I loved every single second of it. The chemistry between the whole cast was great but the main leads were amazing together. I loved the female leads friendship and the fact that the male lead didn't care for anyone other than the female lead. Apart from not caring about the actual game that was being played, I loved everything else.
-
22. Strong Woman Do Bong Soon
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
Loved watching this drama. There were characters I didn't care for and the side couple but I loved the main leads and the love triangle was done well too. I would definitely enjoy a season 2 but I'm not dying for one. Amazing chemistry between the main leads and I loved the female lead and her best friends relationship as well.
-
23. Symphony's Romance
Chinese Drama - 2020, 40 episodes
Absolutely loved this drama. Not normally a fan of female chasing male dramas but this was done so well. I haven't watched any other version of this drama but I did love this one so much. While there were some characters I didn't care for. The whole ensemble of characters was amazing and the way they came together and stayed together through everything. I loved that the main couple only had eyes for each other no matter what. There was a sunshine/grumpy dynamic between the main couple that I found so cute.
-
24. Iubire cu Încurcături

26. Miss Independent Ji Eun
Korean Drama - 2018, 8 episodes
It's a cute and fun drama. Short and the story was quite realistic, didn't feel drawn out. The Main leads were hella cute. Maybe a bit longer would've liked it as a full drama.
-
27. Viața Secretă a Secretarei Mele
Korean Drama - 2019, 32 episodes
Good, fun drama. The mystery was good too had me guessing till the end, didn't care for the side couple as usual but otherwise, it was a fun watch. The main leads had great chemistry.
-
28. Miss Independent Ji Eun 2
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
Cute, fun drama. Showed an honest if not an overly optimistic portrayal of being 20 and in college. The chemistry between the main leads was quite good.
-
29. Frumusețe Adevărată
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Second Lead Syndrome is real. Gimme a real-life Han Seo Jun, please. Funny drama, the chemistry between all the characters is good. I cared about all the side characters. It was good fun to watch.
-
30. Sweet Revenge
Korean Drama - 2017, 22 episodes
Cute drama, watching the bad guys get their comeuppance was worth it. The Main leads were cute. Cha Eun Woo was great too.
-
31. Hello Mr. Gu
Chinese Drama - 2021, 30 episodes
This was such a wild ride. I loved every single bit of this drama. The Second Female Lead was annoying like it was obvious the Male Lead didn't like her but nah she was delusional to even try and ruin the place she works to get the guy. The Second Male Lead was cute, kinda annoying in that I felt no sympathy for him really. The actor was really handsome though. The secondary couple of the best friend and Female Lead's brother was sweet, I didn't care for their romance but they had funny moments. I loved the Male Leads secretary, he had me laughing in every scene he was in. He was my favourite character.
-
32. Bring It On, Ghost
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
I am not a fan of horror but this was funny and the villain was very easy to figure out, there wasn't much of a mystery there. The side characters were fun and made me laugh out loud, even if it took me a few episodes to get used to them. They were fun to watch and the group dynamics were fun to watch.
-
33. Intense Love
Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
Really cute and fun drama. The main couple had amazing chemistry and were insanely adorable together. Didn't care for the side couples as usual but they were given a lot of screen time which was annoying.
-
34. Flavour It's Yours
Chinese Drama - 2019, 25 episodes
Cute story, I liked how the mystery unfolded. It was madness but I loved watching it though. Didn't really care for any of the side characters and couples but the whole group dynamic was so sweet like they became a family by the end of the drama.
-
35. 100% Era
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
An interesting story of how the generation that were born during this pandemic will deal with the repercussions of what the pandemic did to the world at large. I enjoyed watching it, would've liked more romance and a more concrete ending but interesting drama to binge-watch.
-
36. Shaman Girl Ga Doo Shim
Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
It was not the typical type of drama I would watch, but it was fun and I had a good time binging it. Eagerly waiting for season 2.
-
37. The Mermaid Prince: The Beginning
Korean Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
A cute web series. Multiple different couples were cute and fun to watch. Nothing groundbreaking but still a fun watch.
-
38. Sparkle Love
Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
Cute drama, no real angst, mainly a light fluffy drama that made me laugh. I liked the side couples too. Very much a fictional idea that I could deal with, the second lead was annoying and tried to force the female lead to kiss him, in the end, he got the job at his company, didn't like that she left the guy for the last ep when she could've just talked to him.
