Great little high school drama. Bonus: Jisoo!

College, friendships and family.

Great starter for Taiwanese dramas

The U-Prince series is a great way to start Thai dramas. Divided up into individual stories on MDL, it appears at a complete season on Netflix. Some "princes" are better than others. We strongly recommend the artist, the baker and the geologist. Cowboy is not for everybody, but is more true to the typical lakorn style while keeping it all a little lighter.

Great starter for thai series style dramas. Crazy antics and solid friendships. Sort of like Sex in the City: Thai Edition

Excellent friends to lovers noona romance. The friendship is literally so good that we didn't even care if it never got to lovers.

One of the many variants of the Playful Kiss story. The thai version is one of our favourite versions.

Ignore the horrible kiss scenes, this Chinese story of a couple who faces all their troubles head-on and together is a great starter college drama

Many people's favourite xianxia style Chinese drama. Beautiful sets and costumes, epic romance. Widely known as 10 Miles of Beach Blossoms.

If you love slapstick comedy and sitcom-style storylines, this drama is for you. Not the usual romcom, it's still fun and easy to watch, and Baby Sol is adorable.
