      Of the recent dramas, memorable ones were Ode To Joy and Ode To Joy 2. I also enjoyed When A Snail Falls In Love and Memory Lost. Of those based on classic novels, I like Three Kingdoms (2010 directed by Gao Xi Xi) and Journey To The West (2011 drama produced by Zhang Ji Zhong).

      I watched Legend Of The Condor Heroes (2008 starring Hu Ge and Ariel Lin). Romance Of The Condor Heroes (2014) was also memorable since it resulted in the marriage of the main actor and main actress. I watched Heaven Sword And Dragon Saber (2009 produced by Zhang Ji Zhong).

      I couldn't watch that the 2011 journey to the west. I found the 1996 version. This will always be the favorite. http://kissasian.com/Drama/Journey-to-the-West-1996

      I have been watching Advisors Alliance and Lost Love In Times while waiting for Nirvana In Fire 2. Advisors Alliance is quite similar to Nirvana In Fire.

      My wife told me to watch the south korea drama Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Ju which is very popular in the Philippines. A fan in the Philippines opened a Bok Chicken LU Restaurant selling junk food like deep fried chicken in San Fernando City, La Union, Philippines.
