2. Queen In Hyun's Man

"This will always be my favourite (Korean) time-travel piece." Haha! So I thought - before 'Lovely Runner' existed.

4. Shining for One Thing

Still watching this, and really enjoying it. I like what they've done with the timey-wimey thing.

5. My Perfect Stranger
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
Particularly good in the way it lets the main characters go back and both learn about - and understand - and fix things in the past, so that they and their families could have a better future.
Some things they couldn't change, as should be; it was nice that they did change others, though. Satisfying and sweet.

6. An Ancient Love Song
Chinese Drama - 2023, 14 episodes

7. Blossom
Chinese Drama - 2024, 34 episodes
Captivating and lovely, with the promise of great stakes.

8. Faith
Korean Drama - 2012, 24 episodes
I didn't love this series, in the way I did/do the others, but it had a certain something to it (mostly Lee Min Ho as the hero) that makes it stick in my mind and heart. The series itself could have been a lot better; but elements of the story, including the sort of star-crossed lovers (being separated by era and time) were beautiful and easy to love, and the hero was very heroic and loveable.

9. Splash Splash LOVE
Korean Special - 2015, 2 episodes
-
10. My Divine Emissary
Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes
Chinese adaptation of Splash, Splash, Love
-
11. The Princess Royal
Chinese Drama - 2024, 40 episodes
A thoughtful, intelligent drama, with excellent lead actors. They either travel back in time, or are-incarnated as their younger selves. It's not really defined; a kind of mix of the two - like Perfect Marriage Revenge. It's really interesting watching them being their older selves in their younger bodies - and acting this. Both are impressive.

12. Perfect Marriage Revenge
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
A tight, pacy, fun piece.
