This is based on personal preference and only on Taiwanese dramas I’ve seen – I haven’t seen many
1. Autumn’s Concerto
Aired: 4 Oct 2009 – 28 Feb 2010 Cast: Ady An , Vanness Wu
Autumn’s Concerto is currently my favourite Taiwanese drama. This drama honestly ticks all the boxes. I was instantly hooked since the first episode and loved watching how the story between the leads progressed over time. The chemistry between the leads is amazing and it’s honestly the best acting performance I’ve seen in a Taiwanese drama throughout the whole cast. This drama addresses real life struggles and complications many people have to face and some important life lessons. I would definitely recommend people to watch this drama if you are interesting in watching a Taiwanese drama.

2. Behind Your Smile
Aired: 13 Nov 2016 – 19 March 2017 Cast: Marcus Chang , Eugenie Liu
This drama is on another level and breaks the stereotypes / standards for Taiwanese dramas. I thought about making this the first but to me it just couldn’t beat one of the classics. The production quality is of very high standard and if I didn’t know this is a Taiwanese drama then I would have thought it’s a Chinese drama.

3. Fated To Love You
Aired 16 March – 24 Aug 2008 Cast: Joe Chen, Ethan Ruan
Many People say this is one of the best Taiwanese dramas as this drama is a classic but I honestly think there are dramas that have surpassed this one. Although I enjoyed watching this drama it personally isn’t one of my favourites but I agree that it is a great drama to watch and I Taiwanese drama I would recommend.

OR: 7.5/10 R: Must Watch A: 3.5/5 CG: 13+
6. Love Cuisine
Aired 7 Aug 2015 – 15 Jan 2016 Cast: Lego Lee, Allison Lin
A simple lighthearted high school drama but instead of it being about the students it’s about the teachers.
OR: 7.5/10 R: Must Watch A: 4/5 CG: 13+
7. The King of Romance
It is an enjoyable drama to watch with an interesting storyline and good chemistry but I think it had more potential. I still decided to put this on the list because I think it’s a good drama to watch and I would recommend it.
