Based on the immensely popular manga series “Hana Yori Dango (Boys over Flowers)” that ended back in 2003, this adaption was released in 2018 and is an all-Chinese production.
Dong Shan Cai (played by Shen Yue) is initially beside herself when she is accepted into a very prestigious school. Her joy quickly subsides when she discovers that the school is ruled by four male students who treat the college as their own personal playground.
Despite her initial efforts to keep a low profile, her meeting with the self-proclaimed leader of the school (spoiled and arrogant Dao Ming Si, portrayed by Dylan Wang) sets off a series of events that will come to change her life.
Do you ever feel the need to ask yourself if your love is borderline stalking or just romantic persistence? Maybe “You” can help you out.
Originally published as a book under the same name back in 2014, “You” is not one of your typical romantic television shows.

A dark and twisted take on what romance truly is, and sorting out what it definitely isn’t. “You” veers off into uncharted territory. It shows us a love story that makes the viewers repeatedly ask themselves if they even want the main characters to get together in the end.
If you want to see what all the current hype concerning everything Korean is about, “Memories of the Alhambra” is a good place to start. Featuring a complicated love story involving virtual reality, two of the most famous actors in Korea and the beautiful backdrop of Spanish architecture, this television show was a huge success.
It ended up being the highest rated cable Korean television show of all time. In an industry that commonly resorts to tropes and expected plot twists, “Memories of the Alhambra” is an innovative breath of fresh air.
Are you tired of watching the same existential crisis happening over and over again to attractive twenty-somethings? Then “Wanderlust” might be something worth looking into.

In a desperate attempt to salvage their marriage, they decide to open up their relationship and start seeing other people. “Wanderlust” proudly goes where not many television shows have gone before. It attempts to navigate the intricacies of a polyamorous relationship, with protagonists in their mid-forties. The end result is a thought-provoking comment on love and relationships in only six episodes.
A television show that might hit too close to home for a large group of people is “Friends from College.”
When one of them gets engaged, he invites the whole group to get together before the wedding; and wouldn’t you know it, chaos (and hilarity) ensues.
Featuring actors such as Michael Keegan-Key and Cobie Smulders, this comedy show focuses on how to maintain relationships as adults; romantic ones as well as friendships. Do you look back on your college days with a beautiful Instagram-filter over it? “Friends from College” might help you remember that even though things were different back then, they weren’t always better.
