Top 10 MUST See Korean and Chinese Dramas - Highly Inspiring and Fun!

Top 10 Must See

My top 10 list of dramas that are highly inspiring, motivating with some fun factors! Most have certain or all parts of the stories with the female lead charaters crossdress in the dramas. These strong women are rebellious, but what attracts me to them is their relentless drive to pursue their dreams and passions, as well as having a heart that is ‘as big as the ocean’!

If on any days, you feel bored, restless, hopeless, frustrated and disappointed with life, just watch any one of these entertaining and highly motivating dramas, I’m sure you would be touched and moved too!

Links are provided to enable you to watch online, but these are mostly in mandarin or chinese subtitled, I would recommend you get the original DVDs. I’ve tried watching dramas online but most of the links are not smooth and sometimes the links are broken. So, if you support your idols, get the original DVDs; in fact I have had all the original DVDs listed here!
