Favorite TV Drama

[Silvana Mandeville]

There are so many types of dramas we all might know. Aside from watching cartoons and anime, I spent my childhood watching Telenovelas, Chinese dramas, and Taiwanese dramas with my family. Then came the year Korean dramas started airing on our local TV, and soon they took over. But we’re lucky to be able to watch so much online now. Over the years, I’ve gone from Korean dramas to Thai, Bollywood, and Japanese series. I guess I've tried a lot, including Western series as well.

Just yesterday, I finished what is now my top drama: Fangs of Fortune or Da Meng Gui Li. The best drama for me so far, until something greater comes along and replaced it.

It’s a story about a group of demon, human, god, and demigod who form a demon-hunting team to confront demon beasts recorded in The Classic of Mountains and Seas. The plot is fantastic, the friendship is beautiful, as well as the music and costumes! And the acting is, as always, top-notch! (I won’t spoil it all here but check it out on MyDramaList). If you’re looking for a fantasy with A+++++ CGI, then this Chinese drama is for you! One word for it: Amazing.

Now, what’s your favorite drama or your top drama of the year, and which country is it from?

These days I don't get the chance to watch a lot of television, but when I do, I like Criminal Minds, NCIS, and Bluebloods. My past favorites were Orange is the New Black and The Crown.
