D12: Favorite comedy

Asian dramas tend to have a funny start and then bring in drama and trauma. #MeAndThee #thaiBL managed to keep up the humor through the entire series and handled past trauma with dignity and kindness.

#ChinguChallenge Day 11 Childhood Connection: Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi 😈🤣😭 no not really but I couldn't resist #jdrama

Day 12: Comedy

Possibly the MOST subjective genre. The first Drama that comes to mind whenever I see this even after 12 years, is the 2014 #jDrama #Date - whoever wrote it shared MY sense of humour almost perfectly.

#ChinguChallenge #cdrama #kdrama #jdrama

D11: Favorite childhood connection

The one that made sense and wasn't just a cliche trope is #KillMeHealMe #kdrama. It was a powerful and sad one.

Day 11: Childhood connection

I don't watch anything zombie, so on to a trope I loathe:

Kindergarten Kismet🤮

This trope is skin-crawlingly REPULSIVE to me, this #jDrama managed to make it work. Probably due to being 'based on a true story'

#ChinguChallenge #cdrama #kdrama #jdrama

D10: Favorite NON zombie drama that has vampires 😅
Sorry, I hate zombies.

#TheScholarWhoWalksTheNight #kdrama is my pick. The story is not as compelling as I wanted it to be, but the leads are very swoon worthy.

#ChinguChallenge prompt 7: Revenge

There's really no debate here, it's the #jdrama Marry My Husband.

Until I watched it, my favourite was the remarkably similar but unrelated #kdrama Perfect Marriage Revenge, which I binged in a day (on 7th my wedding anniversary, hilariously).

Day 9: Costume and production design
A recent 'foundation general' brouhaha (I have no side) reinforced my pick for this one.

#cDrama #ThisThrivingLand - peasant farmers LOOKED LIKE peasant farmers, (PORES!) their homes & environs seemed real.

#ChinguChallenge #cdrama #kdrama #jdrama

D9: Favorite costume and production design

This goes for China. They produce so beautiful dramas, even if I don't necessary score them high the costumes and props, backgrounds are beautiful.

Let's pick #PursuitOfJade

Day 8: Enemies to lovers

The #TwDrama #BehindYourSmile is not bad, and they really ARE enemies, but this #kDrama was TOO MUCH FUN not to pick #LoveToHateYou

My completed watches from my Asian drama journal

As you can see I went several weeks where I just watched Thai BLs lmao #Kdrama #cdrama #Jdrama #KdramaChat #CdramaChat #JdramaChat #ThaiDrama #ThaiBL

Trying to keep up with my #DramaJournal has been hard but I’m still holding steady… kinda lol #Kdrama #cdrama #Jdrama #KdramaChat #CdramaChat #JdramaChat

#ChinguChallenge
Enemies to lovers—what else but Semantic Error?!?

(Also A Shoulder to Cry On, The On1ly One, Gray Shelter, and Our Youth)

D8: Favorite enemies to lovers

I truly hate this trope, it's rarely done the right way for my soul. But when it's executed well, it is very powerful.
Like in #PrisonerOfBeauty

#ChinguChallenge Day 7: I'm not a fan of most revenge dramas because I'm not someone who fantasizes about getting back at people. That's why I loved Marry My Husband Japan so much. This #jdrama took a Korean revenge fantasy and turned it into a personal journey where the FL learns to value herself.

#chinguchallenge #cDrama #kDrama #jDrama #twDrama

Day 7: Revenge

Not my favourite genre, making this an easy choice. Makjang revenge done perfectly and CAST perfectly #kDrama #MoneyFlower

#ChinguChallenge #cdrama #kdrama #jdrama

D7: Favorite revenge drama

I pick multiple ones again, just not to forget that Asia is big.

#IdolI #kdrama

#TheLegendOfZangHai #cdrama

#Khemjira #tdrama #thaiBL

#MillionYenWomen #jdrama

Day 7: Revenge Drama

#cdrama and #jdrama picks for this one:

- Word of Honour
- Marry My Husband

#ChinguChallenge

I saw someone else say Move to Heaven, and now that idea won’t leave my brain. Also, because I seem to keep adding anime to the challenge, I’d say Buddy Daddies, because the three of them are the cutest. #KDrama #JDrama

#ChinguChallenge prompt 4

I love a friendship story where people form bonds due to circumstance, but that leads to real connection. Top tier examples:

Cha Ung, Seul Hae, and the ghosts in #kdrama From Now On, Showtime
Chun Yu's crew in #cdrama 19th Floor
The students in #jdrama Billion x School

Somebody tell Asian dramas writers that majority of people meet as adults and fall in love. They don't need Childhood connection to prove "fate"

D6: Favorite family

The extended family of Gu Jiusi and Liu Yuru with their moms and sworn brothers and sisters in #Destined #cdrama
The hardship they go through together 😥❤️

#ChinguChallege prompt 3 (I am already several days behind!)

For me, the ideal modern romance w/o supernatural elements should be as sweet and fluffy as cotton candy. I want to be kicking my feet and giggling. Hence

#kdrama Sh**ting Stars
#cdrama Why Women Love
#jdrama Cinderella Closet

Day 6: Family

A family from a traditional shinobi clan, struggling to live as normal civilians, resume their ninja duties as they take on a new crisis in #HouseOfNinjas. Action-packed story with a few twists and a good bit of humor. Still hoping for a season 2.

#jdrama #chinguchallenge

Finished the latest seasons of Virgin River & XO Kitty!

So now back to my regular diet of #thaidrama #jdrama #kdrama #blseries

New ep of Duang With You later 💜

Watched another episode of #Contrast and got another tie pull for my collection. #jdrama #BL

Day 5: Lots of strong contenders here, but since "found family" is it's own thang, this #jDrama is one of the very best biological mother-daughter Dramas I've seen.

#SoundsOfWinter was incredible.

Painful. Uncomfortable. But absolutely wonderful.

I loved it.
