COVID19 continues to ravage our earth, even with multiple vaccines and boosters. Therefore, I continued to watch tv shows while I work-from-home!
I've ranked the ones I watched in 2021 below (#1 being my fave!)
- Alice in Borderland Season 1 - Mind boggling Japanese drama adapted from a manga. Main characters play games with their lives in order to survive in an alternate realm.
- Sweet Home Season 1 - Loaded with jump scares and frightening monsters, as modern South Korea turns apocalyptic.
- Royal Nirvana / 鹤唳华亭 and Special/别云间 (2019) - Hella depressing Chinese historical drama that made me weep due to its portrayal of complex relations, e.g. father-son; daughter-father, etc.
- The Devil Judge - Dystopian South Korea is full of corruption and only Ji Sung's cheekbones can save 'em!
- Rebel Princess / 上阳赋 - Zhang Ziyi's first tv drama, enuff said
- Mr. Queen - Hilarious time traveling Korean historical drama with a gender-bending twist.
- The Great Season 2 - Historically inaccurate, but hilarious with charismatic cast and colorful costumes.
Marvelous Women / 当家主母 - Historic Chinese women deliver strong feminist message
- Mine - Korean drama about the scandals and secrets of rich/chaebol family
- Only Murders in the Building - Original Hulu show with funny cast and intriguing murder mystery plot
- Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 8 - Last season of this adorable comedic cop show
- Steven Universe Seasons 3-4 - Cartoon involving whimsical characters and a save-the-world plot
- Vincenzo / 빈센조 - I watched it because it's Song Joongki's first drama post-divorce. I kept watching, because of its dramatic and comedic characters, but it was hard to binge, due to some ridiculous plot twists.
- Squid Game - Indebted people play traditional Korean games with their lives for a chance to win money.
- Hellbound - Very confusing South Korean drama about death prophecies
- Song of Youth / 玉楼春- Long historical Chinese drama centered on a large family and revenge.
- Light the Night Season 1 - Taiwanese murder mystery drama on Netflix starring Ruby Lin
- Hospital Playlist Season 1 - South Korean drama set in modern day (sans COVID19 pandemic) about a groups of doctors who have known each other since medical school and start a band after hours.
- Bridgerton Season 1 - Set in 1800s London, this Gossip Girl-esque drama provides excessive sex scenes and historical inaccuracies.
- Court Lady / 骊歌行 - Promising cast and story, but ruined with crazy sub-lots and abrupt editing/scene transitions.
- Street Dance of China Season 4 - Some of my fave dancers (e.g. Gumball) didn't make it far, and the winner disappointed me, again!
