Hello! Are there any other C-drama, K-drama, J-drama, etc., fans here? I'm still a bit of a newbie when it comes to Asian dramas, but they've been filling my need for fantasy media as of late. For instance, right now I'm watching Legend of Fuyao after having finished The Untamed, which tore open a need I didn't know I had for xianxia worldbuilding. Other than those two fantasy C-dramas, however, I haven't watched too much else. Most of the other dramas I've watched are contemporary K-dramas like Flower Boy Next Door and Let's Eat. Although I've also watched A Korean Odyssey and Hotel del Luna, which I loved. I adore the Hong sisters' writing. So more Asian fantasy drama recommendations are welcome!

HI AM YOUR PEOPLE. At least for kdrama.
I have not seen Flower Boy Next Door, but I have watched all the other Kdramas you mention. A Korean Odyssey was so painful but so good. Hotel del Luna was excellent also, and such a tear-jerker.
If you liked Odyssey and Luna, you *definitely* need to watch The Master's Sun.

I've watched a grand total of one C-drama all the way through (Love O2O), and attempted to watch 2 others (The General and I, The Love Knot). I've decided that C-drama is just not my cup of tea for now at least.
I have enjoyed some Taiwanese drama as well. Murphy's Law of Love was *excellent* and I enjoyed Love, Now.

@Taethowen A Korean Odyssey and Hotel del Luna both broke my heart in all the right places! I think I definitely love the sort of folklore occult fantasy romance type of a story. Thank you for the recommendation. I will add The Master's Sun to my watch list. I forgot, I also started The Bride of Habaek a while back, but it disappeared from Viki, so when I start Netflix again, I might try to finish it.

Ooooh. You need to watch The Tale of Arang/Arang and the Magistrate then. It is my *favorite* kdrama of all time. It's folklore/ghost story/murder mystery/fantasy/romance and the pacing and worldbuilding are *phenomenal*.
Highly recommend Goblin as well, and The Legend of the Blue Sea, and King: Eternal Monarch.
The Bride of Habaek was ok. Not *amazing* but still a good watch.
