Taiwanese dramas are great. But they are also even more tropey and formulaic than Korean dramas. They tend to lean towards the fatey things way more. They are super fluffy too, mostly. But that is exactly their charm. They are quick to the chemistry stuffs, giving us feels and awkward humor from episode one.
When discussing this,
Lizabreff and I summarized that while Kdramas withhold to build the tension for the moment they get together (only to be broken up only moments later), Tdramas give you lots of moments with chemistry, sexual tension, and romantic humor, they drag the drama out with lots of ups and down. They also have the one trick I absolutely hate. The mid-series bitca. I hate having the bitca show up right as things are going great. Either have her there the whole time, or never there.
