Top 5 dramas of each country

[dangermousie]

I like lists, but more importantly, I think this serves as a vry short-hand guide to my tastes. If you hate most dramas on this list, my recs are probably useless to you. It also shows a lot of my preferences - there are a lot of historical dramas on this and nary a romcom.

China/Hong Kong:

1. The Myth
2. Three Kingdoms
3. Young Warriors of the Yang Clan
4. Legend of the Condor Heroes 2008
5. Return of the Condor Heroes 2006
5. (tie) Jade Palace Lock Heart

Japan:

1. Love Shuffle
2. Aishiteiru to Itte Kure
3. Pride
4. Itoshi Kimi E
5. Hana Yori Dango 1/2

Korea:

1. Worlds Within
2. Mawang/The Devil
3. The Legend/First King's Four Gods
4. Capital Scandal
5. Chuno/Slave Hunters

Taiwan:

1. Mars
1. The Outsiders 1/2
2. Black and White
3. Meteor Garden
4. My Lucky Star
5. Why Why Love
5. (tie) To Get Her
5. (tie, yes I know) Endless Love

One note: dramas I haven't seen enough of (notably Sunny Happiness) are not on the list but may be later :)

Let's see. Out of 24 dramas, 9 are period dramas (all of cdramas and 3 of kdramas). The closest we come to a conventional romcom is Why Why Love. Hmmmm. Actors who appear most are: Hu Ge and Vic Zhou - three times each. Fair enough, seeing I adore them.
