inspired by certain discussions i've been having...
Okay, if y'all could force all of your friends (define "force" however you want: emotional blackmail, actual blackmail, duct tape, guns, whatever) to watch certain shows, what would they be? Here are my top 10.
1. Friday Night Lights, because it is a work of art and will make you a better person. I know I am given to hyperbole, but when I say that it's a work of art, I mean that it is a work of art.
2. The last three seaons of Buffy. I mean, I guess you need to see the first four to really get why the last three are so important, but I really just love the last three and they're the ones I watch over and over lbr.
3. Coffee Prince, because I genuinely think everyone in the whole wide world would like it. It's so lovable.
4. Parks and Rec because of happiness.
5. Press Gang, because no one but![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
redsilverchains has seen it, and I have a lot of feelings I would work out in fic/flail form if there was a fandom for this show. Also: Lynda Day.
6. The Black Donnellys because best pilot ever and also heartbreaking brothers and Jenny Reilly is the best.
7. Designing Women because I'm pretty sure it's what made me a feminist. Also: best characters ever.
8. Miranda, because it is delightful and will make you all happy.
9. Shut Up! Flower Boy Band! because I want all the fic and I don't understand why there isn't a fandom.
10. The Good Wife, to convince you that it's possible for a lawyer show to be good. A lawyer show on one of the main networks, no less.
Play with me!

so, as far as asian dramas go, the show along with coffee prince that i think the majority of people who don't like typical asian dramas would love is capital scandal (the novels for both are by the same author!).1930s korean during the independence movement – flaky playboys getting sucked into the revolution by tiny bookstore-owner lobbyists of steel. suits and swing-dancing and intrigue and one of the greatest female characters ever, a beautiful courtesan by day, revolutionary assassin by night, and her tragic, doomed childhood love otp. also she's BFFs with the male lead ("oddly, we don't have chemistry, but we were touched by one another" lkdshljsdjlsd it's like V and wallace all over again i love this stuff). it's funny and snappy and the costumes and sets are wonderful and it is the best thing ever.
english shows i would stake my life for: veronica mars (perfect and yeah s3 is s3 but any veronica is good veronica lbr); s1 of prison break (and some of the latter ones bc of otp which is one of my favourite otps ever); the hour (so perfect); the high school seasons of sabrina the teenage witch (totally); community (so damn delightful, even if not completely consistently); kings (so ambitious, such superb characters, such great acting, ugh), and, yes, buffy.
