Today we are counting down my Top 5 favorite Taiwanese Dramas.
Starting off at number 5 we have a drama that is based off of a Japanese Manga.
It is They Kiss Again.
This drama is the sequel to It Started with a Kiss. It Started with a Kiss was the Cinderella
story, and They Kiss Again is what happens after the happily ever after. It Started with
a Kiss, They Kiss Again ha ha ha ha.. Yea, it is not that funny. Our main couple is a
man going to medical school, and a woman who is training to be a nurse, and all the problems
that happen after they get married. Their works schedules are busy, their study schedules
are busy, and they are facing the issue that virtually everyone faces after they get married.
Or, basically most people anyways. Are they going to have kids? And because it is about
a married couple, there are some pretty hot and steamy scenes in there. I recommend it.
Old school clashes with new school in our number 4 pick, Bullfighting. Bullfighting
in this case is not traditional bullfighting like we think of in Spain and Latin American
countries. We are talking about 3 on 3 street basketball. Mike He plays a basketball star
that just happens to be really sexy. And falls in love with the mob bosses daughter played
by Hebe of the mango pop group She. There are some great basketball scenes in this one.
You have this old traditional mob boss with this young and beautiful daughter who happens
to fall in love with this really cute guy who is rich and their family is trying to
buy out their street. And as a little side story she gets a short hair makeover and as
you can tell, I dig the short hairs. For my number 3 pick some people may disagree with
me, but this was the drama that remained on my MP3 player that I watched on repeat over
and over again for years. Devil Beside You. This one actually has a pretty disturbing
storyline. It is about these two kids in college and one of them is an art student. He is a
total devil but his dad is the principal which is why he gets away with murder. And his dad
is marrying this girls mother that he is falling in love with. The main characters in this
one are Mike He and Rainy Yang. I know that I already mentioned Mike He in the last one,
but he is one of my favorite actors and I cannot help it. And, he has great chemistry
with Rainy. Such great chemistry that this was the first of several dramas that they
made together including Why Why Love. And while I also really do Love Why Why Love ha
ha ha. Yea, I know, I love Why Why Love, Devil Beside You was the drama that started it all.
Oh, and did I mention Mike He is Sexy? Chosen for 2 dramas, and despite the John Stamos
mullet in this one, he plays the devil and AWWWWW the heavens open up and Mike He stands
there like AWWW. [gasp] Oh, Mike He. In my point of view, he totally wins the drama contest
with all Asian actors. He is the man for Asian dramas. More than Jang Geun Suk. [record scratch]
You're gonna break some young teenagers hearts saying that I think. I know. Coming in at
number 2 we have Fated to Love You. In this one a really rich dude goes on a cruise with
his loved one and ends up in the wrong hotel room. And sleeping with this nerdy office
girl who, surprise, gets knocked up. So he takes the pregnant girl to his home but he
still doesn't break up with his beautiful dancer girlfriend. They get to know each other
a little bit better, and of course he starts to have a little bit of feelings for the geeky
girl. Just in time for her to leave and for him to chase after her. Hello Drama! But seriously,
if you can get through the first 2 episodes which are over the top cheesy, I think it
is a fantastic show. It is definitely one of my all time favs. Topping the list at number
1 we have Autumns Concerto. [crowd applause] It has got everything you typically think
of in a drama. It has got health problems, babies born out of wedlock, people with memory
loss, girls getting saved from abusive relationships, the importance of families, and a rich guy
falling in love with a very poor girl. I admit it, it cliche. But when you are watching it,
it does not seem cliche at all. The story is woven together so perfectly, and it is
filmed so artistically that it is simply exquisite. It stars Vaness Woo, who is like the Brad
Pitt or Johnny Depp of Taiwan. But the real star of this one is the very cute, adorable
you just want to hug him Xio Xio Bin. This is one of the best filmed dramas I have ever
seen. It is actually my favorite drama of all time. And there you have it. And that
is it for my favorite Taiwanese Dramas. I put out Top 5 videos every Friday. This particular
Top 5 theme did not come from a recommendation. But I have received a few recommendations
for Top 5 themes already. So look for those in the upcoming Top 5 episodes. If your recommendation
is chosen I'll give you a shout out in my next video. You can check me out on my Facebook
