Which international TV series would you recommend for a holiday watch?

This week, I'd love to hear about your favorite tropes in Asian dramas and the shows that managed to execute them perfectly. Or have you watched a show that featured a trope you usually dislike but in a way that somehow still worked for you? What tropes would you like to see more often of in our current batch of new drama releases? 

If there's interest, I would love to make another post dedicated to our favorite queer Asian dramas.

Last but not least: Please have a look at the shiny new tags for k-dramas and j-dramas! Thank you so much, mods! 🥰
