Taiwanese Drama - 2007, 20 episodes
I enjoyed watching this coz its funny! :)
-
3. 2049
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
I find this sci-fi drama interesting. It's a story of a couple, a husband who's a writer and a wife who's a virtual travel designer, who were facing hurdles during their marriage. With the use of an AI communication assistant called "Stable", it guides them how they communicate with each other in hopes of maintaining a stable, peaceful, and loving relationship. The concept of this drama about AI technology and its ability was a great idea.
-
4. 2049-The Hedgehog Effect
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
It's a story of two ladies, a counseling psychologist and her patient, who both discovered that both of them were having the same dreams and experiences, like having a rift with their mom and having a child with their moms' ex-boyfriends. The drama revealed how such a strange event happened and how the issues got resolved. Watching this drama reminds me of time travels or time machines that only exist in movies or dramas, but still a good fictional drama, though.
-
5. 2049-The Fortune Telling
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
How saddening that from a loving couple, they turned into anxious and fearful parents, after finding out about their child's future through an advanced forecast technology named "Zero", which can predict based on the clients' "memory backups", which I doubt this type of technology would be accurate enough and very impossible to happen as same with time machines and time travelling. The baby actor is too cute and adorable! Austin Lin and Ivy Shao are a good on-screen pair, and all the cast were great actors. "2049" is a well-made trilogy series with interesting sci-fi stories.
-
6. Two or Three Things About My Bathtub
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 14 episodes
Fun to watch, Bruce was perfectly handsome as a merman, definitely not a BL, but a one-of-a-kind bromance between human and sea world.
-
7. A Chinese Ghost Story
Taiwanese Drama - 2003, 40 episodes
Action filled tale of romance and friendship.
-
8. A Complete Life
Taiwanese Special - 2013, 1 episode
I'm glad Viki put English subtitles to this drama, thank you very much to the subbing team! I remembered watching this randomly a long time ago without subtitles. I feel grateful now that I rewatched it and understood the plot.
It shows a moving and heartwarming story about the Wu family: a grandpa who was a former gangster boss living in a nursing home; his son who fell in love with a man; & a grandson who's studying in high school. The grandpa endured a sickness while handling his family's situation after knowing about his son's affair and also his grandson who almost got into trouble with some gangster. It shows the reality, especially issues about family, acceptance, the meaning of life & having happiness. Worth a watch! -
9. A Game about Love
Taiwanese Drama - 2006, 27 episodes
A story of a lady who is strong-willed and passionate, meets two brothers, and how romance tested their brotherhood and kinship.
-
10. A Good Wife
Taiwanese Drama - 2013, 15 episodes
***SPOILER ALERT!!!***
I liked what Han Xiang Qi did, I would do the same thing if I were her & I'm glad what happened with her. At first, I did not liked Li Shao Wen's character, but in the end, I felt pity & sympathy for him. The drama itself is a good show due to exceptional cast, acting & production. It shows the sad reality of marriage life. I liked this drama, that's how good Taiwanese dramas are, they're believable & portrays real life situations.
-
11. A Thousand Goodnights
Taiwanese Drama - 2019, 20 episodes
This drama mainly showcases the beautiful wonders of Taiwan. I admired the scenic views and high-quality cinematography. The story is very slow-paced, and focuses more on the characters' emotional healing process. It taught me a lot of moral values and it gave me many realizations in life that I can relate. I was moved by the interactions between all the characters. Worth watching!
-
12. A Touch of Green
Taiwanese Drama - 2015, 31 episodes
I cried a lot, man. This was a truly great sentimental drama. The story evolves about the lives of air force pilots and their families during the 1940s war era. Beware of trigger warning scenes. Definitely a Taiwanese historical gem!
-
13. I Secretly Fell in Love with the Student Council President
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Some unexpected sightings that I liked in this drama were one of the drama characters crossdressing, and seeing BL actor Wilson Liu of "HIStory 3" guesting here. The four main leads here were all adorable, this was such a perfect drama!
-
14. Absolute Boyfriend
Taiwanese Drama - 2012, 13 episodes
***SPOILER ALERT!!!***
I don't mind with negative comments about Gu Hye Sun on this drama. When I watched this drama, I almost believed Gu Hye Sun could be mistaken as Taiwanese. All the cast were perfectly suitable on this drama. Yes, the ending was sad, but along the way, I had fun watching this show, it's funny & romantic.
-
15. Age of Rebellion
Taiwanese Drama - 2018, 15 episodes
A drama that shines through its cast (veteran actors and also up-and-coming ones), crew (Peter's a great director), plot (about social and moral issues), and production (high quality).
-
16. Artemisia
Taiwanese Movie - 2008
a.k.a. Ai Cao
*******
A drama that tells about a traditional family's views on social and moral deviances within its members and learns the way of acceptance.
-
17. Aim High
Taiwanese Drama - 2014, 20 episodes
Nice drama, really inspiring & well portrayed. It gave me encouragement & great advice about achieving my goals. I won't forget Yi Fen's words: "Reality may be difficult, but don't forget your dreams."
It taught me about relationships with family & friends, romance, determination to learn and being someone you want to be. I realized everything happens for a reason and we may take different paths but these all lead to one destination. I may have not yet made my dream come true yet, but I will work hard & have faith in God. 加油 (jia you) / がんばって (ganbatte) / fighting / 아자 (aja) / kaya nako ni! -
18. Alice in Wonder City
Taiwanese Drama - 2012, 15 episodes

Taiwanese Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
Shocking revelations & unpredictable plot twists make this drama a good watch.
-

Taiwanese Drama - 2012, 16 episodes
An out of the ordinary drama that portrays some of life's relationship issues.
-
21. Angel 'N' Devil
Taiwanese Drama - 2014, 26 episodes
This drama reminds me of childhood animes like "Sailor Moon" & "Magic Knight Rayearth", it's been a while I watched this type of show, really fun & entertaining!
-
22. Angel Lover
Taiwanese Drama - 2006, 40 episodes
The story starts about a woman named Angelina (played by Coco Jiang), who had a relationship with an angel, created an agency named 'Angel Lover'. This agency helps women with their relationship issues. One of its workers is Yang Tian You (played by Ming Dao), a simple and kindhearted man, who worked odd jobs before being recruited by Angel Lover. Then when he moved to rent an apartment, he met a lady neighbor, Li Xi Ai (played by Bianca Bai), a reporter for a tabloid magazine. This drama shows how did the characters able to fix their own issues and how love worked in their lives.
I liked the OST sang by 183 Club, the boyband group which Ming Dao is a part of. Also liked the cast as well, some of them still looked young here and looks the same as of this year 2023 (this was a 2006 drama, almost 18 years ago!). For me, this was a good drama, I felt thankful after watching, thank you to Sublimes for the English subtitles, and MDL user @Amirbahalegharn for the link, really much appreciated! ❤️ -
23. Anti Reset
Taiwanese Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
Amazing performance by the two main leads and all the cast of this excellent drama! They all brought justice to their characters and this drama with an unconventional storyline about a history professor and an AI. The uncle of the professor, who works in the AI company, is also such a supportive family member to his nephew, a part of the drama which I admire. The chemistry between the couple is so good! I want to watch another project with this pair again!
-
24. Anti Reset Extra Episodes
Taiwanese Special - 2024, 1 episode
Thanks a lot to this special episode, this was such a nice treat, it gave sweetness overload from our fave BL couple ❤️
-
25. Apple in Your Eye
Taiwanese Drama - 2014, 13 episodes
This was my 1st drama with Amber An. She and her co-stars are all talented actors. I also remembered the poetic quotes in each episode. The plot was about a friendship that slowly has feelings of like in a family, but develops later into romance. A good watch.
-
26. Constellation Women Series: Aquarius
Taiwanese Drama - 2015, 11 episodes
I fell in love with Nicholas Teo & Johnny Lu after watching this drama, they're both so charming and funny. The cast and crew did a great job. But I also hated Yang Yi Xue's character, you will know once you watched the show, but I liked the drama overall!
-
27. Constellation Women Series: Aries
Taiwanese Drama - 2015, 10 episodes
Not bad...I used to watch Janet in "Fun Taiwan", not only she is a great host, but also an actress.
-
28. At Dolphin Bay
Taiwanese Drama - 2003, 18 episodes
I love everything about this drama! The story is about an aspirant female singer who was determined to pursue her dreams, and her journey toward career, love and family. A great classic!
-
29. At the Moment
Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
I'd love to see Berant paired with Gingle, as well as other suprising on-screen pairs, so excited for this star-studded show! ❤️❤️❤️
*******
I love everything about this drama! It's closest to reality and life itself, the stories are all relatable. Whoever would watch this in the next 15 years to come or in the future, would find this drama relevant & see how people lived during the era of COVID-19 pandemic. Watching each episode was like watching 10 romantic movies in one series, each episode has different point of view about love (LGBTQ+, married, young couple, etc.). The couples have such great chemistry, portrayed by the best newcomer & veteran Taiwanese actors in the industry, all combined. Here in this drama, Berant Zhu proved that not only he can be great as an action star, he can also be a great leading male actor for romantic stories like this. Berant & Gingle Wang are now top promising young actors in Taiwanese screen, I see both of them having a successful career ahead. Good job to everyone!
-
30. Attention, Love!

32. Back to 1989
Taiwanese Drama - 2016, 21 episodes
Impressive! An absolute masterpiece! The best drama I ever saw in my whole life. The cast, costume, plot, scenes, story & acting is perfect. It was portrayed so well that I believe it's real. A must-see!
-
33. Back to 1989: Special
Taiwanese Special - 2016, 1 episode
***SPOILER ALERT!!!***
I thought at first, this will be a behind-the-scenes clip. Nothing new, just a rewind & only thoughts of the characters to each other.
-
34. Back to Home
Taiwanese Drama - 2019, 18 episodes
The story centers on 2 childhood friends in Moon Village, Ah Jian (male lead) & Xiao Li (female lead), who were reunited after many years and needed to get married for Ah Jian's late Grandpa's will, which states that they can only inherit the salt farm after their one year of marriage. With so many hurdles along their way, can their marriage even last that long?
The OST is sang by Crowd Lu & Jolin Tsai, and as usual on Taiwanese dramas, the music is so good.
This drama has exceeded my expectations. The best thing I liked were the funny scenes in the drama, they were so hilarious! There were also sweet and romantic scenes between the couples, as well as dramatic ones that made me cry.
My praises all go to the entire cast and crew, I can see how they worked very hard to make the story bring to life. As for Xie Kun Da, I already saw him previously in the Taiwanese version of "Absolute Boyfriend" with Ku Hye Sun, and that's when I became a big fan of his acting, he has this gentleman aura. I also had watched Cosmos Lin previously in her drama "Angel N' Devil", among others, and I also admire her acting skills as well, she is cute and adorable. Their pairing is really suitable for them, they're so cute together. I was most surprised by Wu Nien Hsuan, the actor who played Wei Hai, I also saw him previously on his drama "Age Of Rebellion" where he played as the bad guy, and when I saw him as Wei Hai, he transforms into a funny character. And all the other actors did well too, their roles suit them perfectly. For behind the scenes and NG videos, you may check NewShowbiz and Vidol YouTube channels.
I really had fun & enjoyed watching this drama! This romantic comedy drama is just good vibes and this will forever have a special place in my heart! ♥ -

Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
I liked the funny & romantic scenes, enjoy this quick light-hearted BL!
-
36. Be Loved in House Special

-
37. Be With Me
Taiwanese Drama - 2015, 16 episodes
Not bad. In this show, I looked forward who was Caini's real dad, will B.T. Boys reunite & who will Anan choose between Zhenying & Zexuan. Not just a sweet love story, but also portrays boy band business, the reality of showbusiness & family matters.
-
38. Be With You
Taiwanese Drama - 2015, 72 episodes
It tells the story about a family with 2 daughters, namely Man An & Man Li, and 1 son, Man Wu, and their love life. Their family works for another family who's wealthy and owned a business. There is only one thing that turns me off which is Man Li's story, it's just only her character's part. I still liked this drama all in all.
-
39. Because of You
Taiwanese Drama - 2010, 14 episodes
This drama was my first glimpse of Baron Chen and Megan Lai's onscreen pairing, and also Lego's kinda "mean" role. Pleasant acting and the whole drama.
-
40. Because of You
Taiwanese Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
Short but sweet BL drama. Things I want to point out:
-the Korean main lead actor is definitely good-looking and talented, casting him was the best decision;
-we might all wonder and ask, "Why is he speaking in Korean and the rest in Mandarin?", and for me, this is a unique drama concept or idea which is one of its attractive qualities, also might be because he is not fluent enough in Mandarin and they need to finish taping; and
-all the bromances have good chemistry. -
41. Before We Get Married
Taiwanese Drama - 2019, 13 episodes
A drama about a guy who fell in love at first sight with a woman, but neither of them are getting engaged with their partners. Good story and cast.
-
42. Befriend
Taiwanese Drama - 2018, 24 episodes
Tsao Yu Ning is such a cutie! It's a refreshing drama of how a group of friends met up in a local book shop and how they cope up with their feelings and circumstances.
-
43. Behind Your Smile
Taiwanese Drama - 2016, 19 episodes
I love how Marcus Chang has such great chemistry with any of his leading ladies! For me, Eugene Liu's personality is more suited with romantic comedies than serious ones like this, but nevertheless, this is a brilliant drama.
-
44. Better Man
Taiwanese Drama - 2016, 60 episodes
Such cool, handsome brothers; find out about their romantic lives!

Taiwanese Drama - 2014, 15 episodes
The actors really did well with their acting, and the kid is very adorable.
-
51. Brave to Love
Taiwanese Drama - 2019, 15 episodes
A well-made drama about college friends dealing with dilemmas on love, career & family. I liked watching the guest appearances of my fave Taiwanese actors, like Lego Lee, Kingone Wang, Mandy Wei, & even Luna Lien as the waitress. I may watch the Japanese adaptation someday. Could someone please sub the 2002 version "Tomorrow" in English? I wanted to watch Rainie Yang, Eddie Peng & Christine Fan so badly on that drama...
-
52. Bromance
Taiwanese Drama - 2015, 18 episodes
Baron is so hot, he and Megan have such sizzling chemistry! For sure they gave out their all in this drama, I'm very impressed.

Very hilarious! XD Nevermind the non-sense plot, it's fun; I loved the characters!
-
55. Bull Fighting
Taiwanese Drama - 2007, 17 episodes
I had a total major crush on Lee Wei because of this drama! Too bad he is only a second lead here, anyway it's an absolutely great drama about street basketball with romance included!
-
56. Bump Off Lover
Taiwanese Drama - 2006, 14 episodes
The scenes are unpredictable & makes you look forward with each episode until the end! It was creepy & scary, like the story & OST. I also did not expect the one-hit wonder actor who played Lin Jia Wei on this drama about what happened to him in real life, I was shocked, well too bad for him, tsk2x..
-
57. Calling For Love
Taiwanese Drama - 2010, 14 episodes
It was nice seeing Ah Sa in a Taiwanese drama.
-
58. Campus Heroes
Taiwanese Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
***SPOILER ALERT!!!***
At first, the story started how a former baseball player gets the chance to teach in a high school class, but when suddenly he met a female teacher/counselor, the story focused more on the romance between the two. I'm not saying it's not good, maybe that's how really the story will be.
-
59. Channel-X
Taiwanese Drama - 2010, 19 episodes
A mystery drama that will have you digging up the truth in each episode.
-
60. Copycat Killer
Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
***SPOILER ALERT!!!***
So emotionally heavy and intense! Trigger warning for everyone, it's too bloody and lots of graphic violence. The drama was well-made, it looks like something you may see in real life, but of course, the story is based on a fictional novel. I cried when the characters cry, I felt the characters' emotions, the actors were great, the entire cast and crew were excellent. The scenes in the drama when the killer was murdering and killing the victims were too gruesome. For me, I believe that even if evil still exist in this world, there's also karma from God that may happen whether in present life or next life, no matter what.
-
61. Corner with Love
Taiwanese Drama - 2007, 16 episodes
Superb cast and acting, loved it!
-
62. Craving You
Taiwanese Drama - 2020, 10 episodes

-
63. Crystal Boys
Taiwanese Drama - 2003, 20 episodes
A melancholic yet beautifully made BL drama.
-
64. Dandelion Love
Taiwanese Drama - 2013, 40 episodes
***SPOILER ALERT!!!***
Brilliant drama, as well as the entire cast & crew! I admire the beauty of the main female lead actress, Alice Tseng, as well as the other actress, Lene Lai, who plays the female lead's friend. As always, no doubt about Danson Tang, he's an excellent actor that oozes charm & talent. At last, we get to see Sean Lee in a main lead role here, he's also very talented. I didn't expect that singer/actor Nylon Chen did his role very well here as a mute stepbrother. This drama also did well, being set in the 1960s-1980s, it's perfectly made. The OST opening & ending songs sung by Christine Fan & Nylon Chen were also good.
It's a beautiful yet pitiful story about the life of a woman named Lin Jia Dong, whose name got changed later to Gao Wang Jia, & her inspiring character on how she inspired many people with her bravery & kindness despite of many unlucky moments that happened. In her childhood, she grew up with her engineer father. Her father worked hard for them to live in a rich lifestyle in Taipei. Both of them faced many enemies, yet they treated those people with kindness. Also, they faced a lot of trials, but they always look on the positive side of life. One day, the 12-year-old Lin Jia Dong met a bully in school named Song Li Xing, but they became childhood friends later on. Sadly, Lin Jia Dong got separated with both her father & Song Li Xing, & her life changed... (please read more on the comments section, thank you!) :) -
65. Danger Zone
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
***SPOILER ALERT!!!***
The story introduced the main character, Liang Yan Dong (played by Vic Chou), who is a lawyer, but got imprisoned and accused of sexual assault and murder of Fang Ke Qian, a flight stewardess (played by Aviis Zhong). Also highlighted on the start of the drama is the Changrong Police investigating team, lead by Captain Tan Chong Hui (played by Christopher Lee). One of the officers is rookie police officer Ren Fei (played by Berant Zhu), whom during his childhood, his mother (played by Vega Tsai), was hit by a gunshot and died when they celebrated Christmas. The overall plot of the 1st season evolves on solving a murder dismemberment case, proving Liang Yan Dong's innocence, and how he teamed up with Changrong police team on solving the murder case.
Overall, the drama is great! If you are looking for mystery and investigative type of dramas, I would highly recommend this drama. Also, be aware of intense violence and sexual content.
I liked the actors, no doubt at all. The actor that caught my attention is Berant Zhu, as this was my 1st time to see him in a drama. I thought he was too young to take this role, he still did well. I would wish to see him in a rom-com or idol drama in a leading male lead role.
I liked all the episodes, there's nothing to miss out. The scenes I liked the most and I can relate to, was the bond between Captain Tan and Ren Fei. I liked the type of boss Captain Tan is to his team, especially with Ren Fei, whenever he defended Ren Fei from his actions. Captain Tan is a responsible leader yet nice and just a chill type of boss at work, he is a good example of a good leader.
Also, the drama portrayed crime stories realistically, which in real-life, shows how those criminals with money and power, would manipulate the law and justice system unfairly and unjustly. As of this writing, I haven't watched season 2 yet. Hopefully, all characters will get justice. -
66. Danger Zone Season 2
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
An eye-opener about the justice system, that's gripping, thrilling, and intense action! In this 2nd season, we will still continue to see the partnership of Atty. Liang and Police Officer Ren Fei. A well-done drama!

70. Dear Mom
Taiwanese Drama - 2014, 84 episodes
The Li family has 4 daughters, but each have trouble with their love lives, like divorce, affair with someone married, pre-marital pregnancy, or being involved with a mafia family. Will they have a happy ending? This drama portrays how parents deal with their children's issues and the value of having support with each other in the family. I felt moved and my feelings were touched in watching this drama, like how my real-life mom is similar to the Li siblings' mom in the drama, in terms of the way they discipline their children and the emotions they show prove their real feelings. In spite of misunderstandings, I feel lucky to have such supportive parents which I think is cool, because we need to remember they also went through being in their younger years, they are there to guide us. To the cast and crew, they did a great job!
-
71. Dear Uranus
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 3 episodes
Erol is a very pretty actress! Whether Zhang Ruo Ning ends up with Wang Yi Qing or Lin Jing Chen, I'm still good with that. This drama is worth your time watching, if you just have 30 minutes of watching time to complete a drama and wanna chill with some GL. The characters look like they came from a comic or manga, they're all good-looking.
-
72. Detention
Taiwanese Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
I do believe in ghosts and those people who have the ability to see one, it's just that I don't have that ability, though. Anyways, this drama perfectly copied the vibes of the 1990s and 1960s era.
When in comes to time-travelling stuff, I am very critical when it comes to the smallest details. I praise Taiwanese dramas and movies for their excellent execution when it comes to scenes that bring us back in the past- from costume, props, setting to cinematography, everything.
I felt scared when watching this drama. The scenes that takes back during the 1960s creeps me out. Still, this drama is worth watching. -
73. Devil Beside You
Taiwanese Drama - 2005, 20 episodes

77. Drama Go Go Go
Chinese Drama - 2012, 28 episodes
It's my 1st time watching an older woman-younger man relationship storyline. I want to praise that this drama was portrayed very well and so effortlessly romantic. In real life, I will never see myself dating a younger man. But this drama taught me a lot of lessons, in terms of love, life & the entertainment industry. Age doesn't matter, true love will come unexpectedly if fate allows it.
The actors were excellent! It's my 1st time to see a drama by Ruby Lin, and I immediately fell in love with her acting, she's very talented. Same goes with Jiro and the rest of the cast. I had an instant crush with Kenny Lin, it's also my 1st time to see him, he's so cute and charming. Their acting makes the drama look like a real-life story, very natural and honest. Overall, a very good show!*******
I just found out now that actor Shawn Zhang (Henry) is married to actress Christy Chung, talk about a real-life older woman-younger man relationship; and Ruby Lin, who is also married to Wallace Huo!

-
80. Endless Love
Taiwanese Drama - 2010, 15 episodes
This drama's a top-notch! The story was about how a couple fell in love with each other but got entangled in many hurdles. Many scenes made me cried, I was moved, when like how Jing Hao sacrificed for his father & Rui En. Same goes with Rui En, she did not gave up her love for Jing Hao. The other characters who got involved with Jiang Hao and Rui En's love story also did well. This drama portrays what true love is. Overall, this drama gave me happiness, I highly recommend this classic Taiwanese masterpiece! Wilber definitely deserves his Golden Bell Best Actor award, him and the entire cast were all professionally talented!
-
81. Evil Spirit 05
Taiwanese Drama - 2005, 20 episodes
A supernatural contemporary series about reincarnation. The story reminds me of the movie "A Chinese Odyssey", but this time, with a modern horror twist. It's my 2nd show seeing actor Lee Wei; he never fails to impress me with his handsome looks and acting skills. Impressive cast, too.

82. Fabulous 30
Taiwanese Drama - 2014, 76 episodes
"Fabulous" drama! I easily get swayed by the characters' emotions. The scenes made me laugh, smile, cry. I liked the entire cast; their acting was stellar. Danson Tang has always been funny in his roles. I remembered watching him in a gay role in "Hana Kimi"; after seeing him in "Fabulous 30" as a romantic yet goofy guy, he makes me impressed more in his acting. Everyone played their characters very well. The apartments they lived were cozy and beautiful, I dreamed of owning & living in a real one. I think all ages can relate to the characters, it's just the main characters were aged 29-31 years old. Zhi Qin & De Hua taught me to cherish life with my loved ones. Wan Ting & Wei Zhong taught me to be myself, authentic and real. Wen Qi & Zhi Yuan taught me to be mature in handling marriage and family matters. I enjoyed the friendship, romance & life values taught by this light-hearted drama.

83. Fabulous Boys
Taiwanese Drama - 2013, 13 episodes
Nicely done! The 1st time I watched this drama was way back 2013 during my college days, it was locally aired here in Philippines and dubbed in Filipino. Now, after 9 years, I rewatched it this year 2022. The difference is, when I watched it before, there's too many cut scenes in free TV, unlike now that I watched the full episodes with English subtitles online.
I haven't watched the original Korean version yet. I must say 'Fabulous Boys' really did a great job! The cast were all suitable with their roles. Lyan Su (the actress who plays as Mei Nan / Mei Nu) and her acting, being a newbie in that time, was not bad. Evan Yo is a great Cpop singer, I liked his acting as Jeremy, so as the other actors. I even did not know about the drama that it was a Taiwanese remake years after I watched it. It would be called a remake because the story was derived from the original Korean drama, but you cannot really tell the 1st time you will watch 'Fabulous Boys', it was a funny, sweet boyband rom-com you will like for sure! -
84. Fall in Love With Me
Taiwanese Drama - 2014, 20 episodes
Not bad at all! The story was interesting. Aaron was impressive in playing 2 characters, as the bossy Lu Tian Xing and naive Xiao Lu. He reminds me of Korean actor Ji Sung in the drama 'Kill Me Heal Me'. While Tia also looks pretty and sexy. The cast are all good-looking. I appreciate the effort of the entire cast and crew, as well as the people behind those who have put English subtitles. Thank you!

No wonder this won the Best Drama award during the 2013 Golden Bell Awards, it was filmed artistically. The story centers on 2 women: Liu Li Ping, a single woman in her 30s; and Jill (Ji Er), who is about to marry her fiance. They have different views about love, marriage and family. Also, Esther Liu won as Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Ji Er. I'm glad to have watched this award-winning drama.

86. Falling Into You
Taiwanese Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
I had high expectations before watching this drama, mainly because of the main leads, and it didn't disappoint me! In fact, it exceeded my expectations! I found this drama worthwhile!
The story is inspiring, and the drama is entirely lovable. I liked the determination of the characters when it comes to their dreams, and the care & support of family and friends with each other.
All the actors were suitable and performed perfectly in their roles. Jiro has good chemistry with his female leads, also same with Puff and her male leads. What's also interesting is that they're both members of a boy or girl group (Jiro was a member of Fahrenheit, while Puff was part of Dream Girls). Also, Puff has worked with 2 of Fahrenheit's members, Jiro & Aaron (while Aaron has worked with Puff & Tia from Dream Girls). I wish to see Jiro & Puff in another rom-com. There's some rumors of KO One having a new season, how I wish Puff will guest there. -

90. We Best Love: Fighting Mr. 2nd Special Edition
Taiwanese Special - 2021, 6 episodes
I did not regret watching the special edition of this well-loved BL series. Although the scenes were pretty much the same as the original one, this one is also a good watch, which reminisces me of the characters, and the drama is just short anyway. Thanks to MDL user @mikimika10's review, I was guided by the new added scenes on this special edition. :)

It's an interesting story about a woman who picked up a bottle from the ocean, then inside of it has a paper with 5 missions written, how she accomplished each of them & helped resolve her life issues.
*******
Trivia: The actor who plays as Mi Li's younger brother, Ai Wei Li (Ou Yang Lun), & the actress who plays Sun Jing Ming's ex girlfriend, Lin Zi Min (Phoebe Lin), are a real-life couple. They have one daughter.

92. Fondant Garden
Taiwanese Drama - 2012, 16 episodes
Before watching this drama, I didn't know who Park Jung Min is (the main Korean lead actor). But after searching him and also after watching this drama, I am now officially his fan and also a fan of his band SS501! Yes, he is one of the members of Kpop group SS501, so he's bandmates with Kim Hyun Joong, whose group got famous for their songs like "Because You're Stupid", from the top Korean drama "Boys Over Flowers". He is so cute and talented in singing & acting! As of now (2023), the last update I saw about him is he's focused more on his music career and he updates his IG account. I was able to catch a glimpse of him on Youtube, guesting on Dara's show, "Video Star", he looks and sounds great! He's also among the list of singers who temporarily tried acting, like Taiwan's Hebe Tien, Evan Yo, Jolin Tsai, and many more. This drama is overloaded with sweetness of the couples and cakes! There's also values we can get about family, relationships, friendship & determination. It's a worthy watch!

Loved seeing Eugenie and Bruce together. I liked their chemistry in the drama "A Good Day".
*******
It was nice seeing my fave actors here. The drama is an open-ending one. Futmalls.com might be a website from another dimension, in my opinion.

95. Genius Chef Junior: Let's Cook Lunch
Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
This was the sequel to "Genius Chef Junior: Ghost Festival", which is a touching story of friendship, about the little boy who met a friend at his school, who's a ghost and also same as his age; that ghost's mother was the school's headmistress. One day, his school held a cooking competition for the school's lunch meal. The little boy met new friends and joined the competition. It's been a while since I've watched this kind of story consisting characters who are kids, the child actors were all cute and adorable!

96. Gloomy Salad Days
Taiwanese Drama - 2010, 20 episodes
***SPOILER ALERT!!!***
It's just timely for me to watch this drama during a difficult time in my life now. This drama, which was filmed in 2010, is still relevant today, even in this present year 2023, and I believe it will still be in the future years to come.
For me, my own interpretation of the title "Gloomy Salad Days", is that the phrase "salad days" refers to the period of youth when we experienced pleasure and being carefree, however there were also "gloomy" or sad times.
This drama addresses a sensitive topic about suicide. It compiles stories of teenagers, their personal issues & the pressures they need to face in their life. I can personally relate to the characters, in a way that whenever I have problems, there are bad thoughts or influences trying to enter my life. In the drama, you will find out who overcame their obstacles.
The cast were star-studded, mixed with Taiwan's top actors like Aaron Yan, and also new upcoming ones like Serena Fang. As usual with all Taiwanese dramas or movies, I'm always very impressed by the cast and crew, it's just the right amount of quality level which makes them realistic and not too over-the-top. Also, the OST music sang by Wan Fang, is also good and suitable to the drama's theme... (please read more on the comments section, thank you!) :) -
97. Go Fighting
Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 20 episodes
Well-done drama! The first thing I noticed was the cast, who were all great! There were only a few actors I'm familiar with, like Mountain Kao (who plays as the funny Manager Ma), Cindy Chi (the actress playing as Ji Xin Ling; she's the actress who also starred in the BL series "History 3 & 4") & Hank Wang (who plays as Zhong Shi An, a famous basketball player who will fall in love with one of the drama's female character Zhou Ling Ling; also he was the lead actor in the BL drama "Be Loved In House"). The rest were all new, fresh faces on the screen to watch out for in Taiwan's entertainment industry. I look forward to them having successful careers and seeing them in future dramas or movies. Secondly, I watched this drama first this 2024 and I haven't watched its previous installments yet. Its first drama installment was "Youngsters On Fire", where its characters first met during high school. There were next installments after that. While on its most recent installment, "Go Fighting", the characters already finished school and worked together in their startup sports gaming company. I hope there are English subtitles in the previous installments. Thirdly, when I watched this drama on TVBS YouTube channel, the English subtitles were not that perfect, but still understandable, I truly appreciate the effort. Lastly, I liked the values that I can get and relate with this show, like in real life, there is a lot of competition when it comes to getting promotions at work; also as humans, we tend to make mistakes even at work; trust is one of the important factors in a relationship; and to have passion in your work or field of business that you're interested with. I really appreciate this drama!

98. My Pig Lady
Chinese Drama - 2014, 27 episodes
a.k.a. Go, Single Lady
*******
I liked this drama! Everyone in the cast were all good. Mike He was suitable on his role as a rich guy who met and fell in love with a strong-headed country bumpkin played by Ady An, whose role was also suitable on her as well. There were funny and also heartwarming scenes. It's a simple romcom that shows a glimpse of the rural life which reminds me of my hometown.

Susan was not a good sibling, she was insecure & jealous of Sophie. All 4 of them grew up & reunited after many years. Owen has feelings for Sophie, while Susan likes William. Overall, kudos to this Taiwanese classic melodrama.

100. Happy 300 Days
Taiwanese Drama - 2013, 15 episodes
***SPOILER ALERT!!!***
Lesson I learned on this drama: love is blind. Why did I say it? The female lead, a single mother, falls in love with a guy who, although he helped her during her pregnancy, left her after the baby was born, then came back after 5 years. Also, Yao Yang & Hao Quan, the other 2 guy friends of the female lead, fell in love & stayed with her, even if they don't have a chance. Nevertheless, this drama has a good story about a friendship formed between Ya Ting, a pregnant, single mother, & 3 guys (Qi Tian, Hao Quan, & Yao Yang), who met through fate, their journey of helping resolve each other's issues together, & caring for Ya Ting's safe pregnancy.
