1. Responde 1988

4. Responde 1994
Korean Drama - 2013, 21 episodes
My 2nd favourite Reply series. Not much to say but these College friends are ones we all wish for. A great "whos the lover" mystery and it's so much fun to watch them fall in love. If you loved reply 1997 you for sure will love this even more!

5. Responde 1997
Korean Drama - 2012, 16 episodes
Where my love for this director/writer started. A group of friends going through their senior year of high school with life ahead of them, Funny, warm, sad, crazy and wild is how I would describe this, then throw in Eunji (aka perfection i love her) and you have an amazing show

7. Manual do Presidiário
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
Black comedy how it should be. You may think this drama will be heavy and dark but it is the opposite, it has it's sincere sad moments that will make you cry but it is full of seriously funny characters and situations. You will for sure fall in love with the ML he is perfectly stupid and amazing!

8. Mãe
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
A story about child abuse and a woman who kidnaps a child to save her. The child is an incredible actor better than most adults. I watched this in 2 sittings because it is so addicting! It is heartbreaking and also heart-filling at the same time. The relationship between mother and child is so precious I loved it!

12. Vá em Frente
Chinese Drama - 2020, 46 episodes
Only the 2nd Chinese drama i have watched in full and I loved this one so much! I learned so much about Chinese culture and life which was a bonus.
The siblings / best friends / love story was perfectly executed and it just felt so wholesome, I generally thought it was one of the best family dramas i have seen since reply 1988. The only odd part was how it ended but I like to think it was open because their story is never really over.

13. Hidden Love
Chinese Drama - 2023, 25 episodes
DO NOT let the age gap put you off, there is nothing going on when she is 14 (although she looks 9 i swear) she has a simple childhood crush. He doesn't develop anything until shes WAY older in college its not sleezy or worrying I PROMISE
Anyway the romance and chemistry is everything, the way the FL cares for the ML is like nothing I've seen, they are both so genuine and you can see how in love they are with each other it's just so perfect. Honestly didn't care for any of the other characters except for her brother they are pretty irrelevant but the main couple make the show enough alone.

14. Quando Voo em sua Direção
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
Such a sweet drama, sweet friendships and a guy that actually shows his feelings to the girl instead of being in denial or acting like he doesn't care. Such a loving, simple plot, would highly recommend I really enjoyed every moment.

15. Túnel
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
If you liked Signal you'll love this. Similar style with time travel except this time the cop time travels great story!
-
16. Voz
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
Another Police/detective drama (honestly the can be so good) The FL has super hearing and has a special response team to help get victims help. the situations are intense you'll be kept on the edgy of your seat wondering if what's going to happen! I did drop the last few eps tho :/

17. Encarnação da Inveja
Korean Drama - 2016, 24 episodes
I cannot stop laughing. FIRST OFF my two favorite actors SECOND OFF their CHEMISTRY is out of this world. I could not have put 2 better actors together to be love interests. The drama is actually interesting even if you take out the romance part. The only part I didn't like was the unessecary love triangle living together part, it was very strange.

18. Escola 2017
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
one of my best high school dramas. The chemistry between the leads is to die for. THE PLOT is actually so good I am surprised this didn't get more attention.
It doesn't feel childish either

19. Esperança
Korean Movie - 2013
A beautiful movie about a heartwrenching story. TW CHILD ABUSE, SEXUAL ABUSE
Based on the real case of Na-young
What i loved is that it didn't focus on the bad guy or the initial abusive act but on the healing of the family and the relationship between the girl and her father. It is a movie about healing and family. Please give it a watch -
20. Sunny
Korean Movie - 2011
A movie full of heart and love. The joy of friendships and love. tells the story of 7 friends reuniting after 25 years as one of their friends has 2 months left to live. The flashbacks and memory are perfectly shown
-
21. Parasita
Korean Movie - 2019
Not sure how to describe this film. It was the first Korean film i got to see in the cinema and I was shook, it is incredible and deserves all the awards thrown at it. It's so hard to describe but my emotions were laughing, crying, singing, scared, nervous, confused, mad and in love.
