I watch so many dramas that I lost count of them nor do I have enough fingers to count them all. The reason why I decided to put Chinese, Taiwanese and Hong Kong dramas together is because I don't have a lot of dramas under the Hong Kong and Chinese list while my Taiwanese list can go on forever. Since they are from the same region, location on a map next to each other with similar language, I decided to put it together to save me from writing another list and you from reading another list. I was originally going to do this list as a top ten only but when I was writing this list down and choosing the dramas to put on this list, ten wasn't enough. Majority of the dramas on this list was Taiwanese therefore I added another ten. Ranking on this list would be base off how much I love, like, hated this drama, how many times I have watch this drama, memories watching this drama, and is worth watching this drama also how much I would like a remake of this drama.
1. Devil Beside You (2005)
Devil Beside You is a Taiwanese drama release in 2005 starring Rainie Yang, Mike He and Kingone Wang. This drama is based on a Japanese manga titled The Devil Does Exist.

Although having a cruel exterior Jiang Meng's heart is kind and caring, which truly touched Qi Yue. The big problem remained - Jiang Meng is the song of the man Qi Yue's mother is going to marry.
This drama is my favorite drama ever. The moment I finish this drama, I went back to re-watch it. If you were to ask my siblings which drama I watch the most growing up, it will have to be this drama. I mean they even sat down next to me and watch it with me all the time. This is one of the drama that my siblings still ask if I watch it today. I mean I can, but there so many new dramas that I haven't seen this drama in the last couple of years but its still one that I remember by heart. This is the drama that made me obsessed with the three main leads especially Mike He. I think he so cute and adorable, I mean Rainie Yang and Kingone Wang are too but seriously, I love the way his hair look one him in the drama and his eyes, they were gorgeous. I was also obsessed with the ending soundtrack song to this drama by Rainie Yang. I love it so much that I still listen to it till this day and is my favorite song from Rainie Yang. I know it but heart. I really wish that there would be a new version, a remake of this drama because it would be so satisfying to see such an amazing and good drama remake.

When Wei Wei discovers his true identity, they have already fallen in love with each other. Together, they overcome numerous misunderstanding and obstacles standing in their way of their budding relationship.
I really like this drama but there are many things I didn't like and want to change for sure. First off, I like this better than the movie and as a drama more because there a lot more story line and scenes to make this drama more understandable and it doesn't feel like a rush. Second, I don't like the game scenes at all and the CGI scenes. I feel like they should of just actually gone to an actually place that have great scenery to film some of those scene or build a studio for the gaming scenes because then it would of been better for the amount of success it got. Third, I think they make a really great pair, they are both beautiful, handsome but I personally don't think Zheng Shuang is that great at acting. I think everyone hates the kissing scenes because she can't kiss at all. Yes! That is the reason why I don't think she good of an actress, she need to work on those kissing scenes because they kill the scene, not in a good way. Overall, this drama was very easy going there wasn't a lot of big huge drama.

This is such an old drama that I think no one today have seen this drama. The only people who have seen this drama probably was from China or have seen the dub version of this drama hence me. I grew up watching this drama and I love the drama so much because of the songs. I think this drama have a lot of potential for a remake because its twenty years old already and a lot of things can change in terms of quality. If any know where I can download or view this drama online, let me know because I would love to watch this drama. The only version I have was on a VHS and I don't even think that I have it anymore.

This is one of the most popular drama of the time, I think, will for me it was. My sister and I watch this drama together and I can say for sure that this was her favorite drama and the only drama that I didn't have to force her to watch me because she actually started watching this drama before me. The story line was cute and thrilling because it was sweet and light. The only huge drama was just dealing with the media and paparazzi only.

I didn't think I was going to like this drama at all because I don't really like Danson growing up. His drama doesn't appeal to me, but after watching this drama, I ended up really liking him. I actually went back to check out his list of work and try to watch some of them. I think I really like this drama because of Ivelyn's character. I would recommend you to watch this drama, if you haven't seen it yet, because it makes me think about the reason why some people don't date like me. The love line between the three characters keep me on my toes because you don't really know what coming your way.

Okay, I cheated on this one. This version is actually a film but there are drama version. I personally like this as a film then a drama because I don't like this story line to have so many drama. I think keeping this movie and drama easy and short keeps this version easy and nice to watch. But I would recommend anyone to watch any version of this drama because the story itself is want makes this drama or movie meaningful.

7. Bitter Sweet (2015)

Wang Da Shan is a retired colonel who lives with his four children Shang Wen, Shang Huan, Shang Hao and Shang Mo.

Wang Shang Huan, has always been overshadowed by her seemingly perfect sister, but she is sure that she'll be able to marry before her sister does. Shang Huan adopts the thinking that girls should not be afraid to make the first move if they have someone they like, hence when she meets Yang Yu Fan, she is determined to win him over. Shang Huan works for a travel agency organizing dating events and is a valued employee.
I think this is a really good family drama. It focused on the first and second child or daughter majority of the time but the younger sister and younger brother does get their own equal parts and story line to the story. It's a story about discovering the truth about themselves and their past along with the connection that each of them have with one another. I thought that it was just another long family drama and that I wan't going to like it at all but turn out, I really like this drama. I think the second daughter personality was what kept this drama interesting and the youngest daughter story was the mystery of the drama.

This was the start of my love for Joanne Tseng. I was really excited for this drama because of Albee. I love her since her 'Hey Girl' days and to see her acting made me really happy. But Joanne stole the whole entire drama for me. I love her story the most because this innocent girl all of a sudden get involve in this guy life and it changes her world entire world. I actually ended up hating Albee's story the most. I don't like that fact that *SPOILER* she got into an affair with her boss. That really annoy me. The saddest part is that we don't get to see Beatrice's story. There are parts of her but all of a sudden this happen to her and we don't even know how this part of the story got started. I understand she was pregnant at the time of filming this drama but I was just sad and disappointed that we don't get to see her as much as the other three sisters.

I remember watching this drama was obsessed with the actors and actresses of this drama. Let start with my obsession with Gui Gui and Wang Zi. Tell today, I still love them. But I also end up loving all the other cast member. I don't mind another remake of this drama, but honestly I think this is sort of a drama for idol fans only. I think this drama would be a good remake if they want to introduce a new group of artists or actors and actresses. I can see that happening because the target would be for children, young teenagers and people who like idols and love watching drama.

I started watching this drama because of Mike He. I really like him after Devil Beside You hence I wanted to watch this drama. I came out really liking Hebe Tien though. This was the start of my love for Hebe Tien and I'm so glad because this drama was a hit in my group of friends. We all love it and we constantly talk about it for a very long time. I would love a remake of this drama because there a lot of potential to make this drama better. For sure better quality and newer actors and actresses but much more than that. I'm talking adding new love lines for other characters and a more solid base story behind some of the characters. I just want a new version of this drama that all.

I remember watching this drama in 2008 when I first got into Taiwanese dramas and found a website that have a lot entire list full of them. I really like this drama. It was refreshing and different because it focused on hair styling and the fact that you didn't know who she was going to end up with at the end because of the love line. At first, I knew I love Joanne's acting and character but I didn't know who she was until after watching Dear Mom and checking out her work, I found this on her list. I was amaze because at this point, I kind of forgot about this drama nor did I remember her at the main lead in this drama either. Surprisingly, I actually like her since this drama but Dear Mom confirm my love for her. I don't mind a remake of this drama but I don't think its going to be as interesting because of the time.

This drama was sweet at the beginning because we get to see the relationship grow as they both become fond of each other but then it take a turn and we get a whole entire surprise that I personally didn't see coming nor did I like it at all. This is the start of my love for George Hu though.

I remember watching this drama in 2008 when I first got into Taiwanese dramas and found a website that have a lot entire list full of them. I really like this drama. It was refreshing and different because it focused on hair styling and the fact that you didn't know who she was going to end up with at the end because of the love line. At first, I knew I love Joanne's acting and character but I didn't know who she was until after watching Dear Mom and checking out her work, I found this on her list. I was amaze because at this point, I kind of forgot about this drama nor did I remember her at the main lead in this drama either. Surprisingly, I actually like her since this drama but Dear Mom confirm my love for her. I don't mind a remake of this drama but I don't think its going to be as interesting because of the time.
