The only TW drama that I can watch over and over again is MARS. Meteor Garden following behind.

Starry Starry Night was alright when I watched it.
Kind of sad though... lol.

Try these:

1. Mars (my all time favorite)
2. The Outsiders (another classic)
3. Prince Turn Into A Frog
4. Smiling Pasta
5. Hana Kimi
6. Fated to Love You
7. The Magicians of Love

Couldn't think of more. I think these are the few that you can watch... biggrin.gif The Outsiders & Mars are some what dark about life, but they are very good dramas. You should give these a try. #3-7 are all funny and good comedy about life. Actually, Fated to Love You has not ended yet so I can't say all about it. #3-7 will make you feel like crying here and there, but they're all sweet and tender. I love #1-2 a lot too. These two dramas are the ones I kept rewatching and rewatching whenever I feel bored.

Hope this helps, and have fun watching Taiwanese dramas.

That's great. If you like Jiro, you should watch Hana Kimi. It's short and funny and CUTE to top it off.

Fated To Love You is very good too. Try it. You watching these with English subs or Chinese?

Give Mars a try! Watching at least 1-2 episodes before you decide to give it up. It's really good if you are into dark dramas. Actually Mars was originally from comics. It is one of the few addicting dramas out there. lol.

You should DEFINETELY give MARS a try! It's the best drama I've ever seen counting all dramas I've seen (I've seen a bunch of dramas: taiwanese, koreans, japanese and thai lakorn)! MARS is deep and touching story! The acting, directing, production, soundtrack are also great!
I cried watching almost all episodes. I never get tired of 'MARS'.
'MARS' is not just about who will end up with who, it's about how two people get together and help eachother go through their own traumas and dark past.

This is the phrase that best describes the drama:
"MARS, the dark knight who guides us to pierce trhough the world of tragedy"
"A bad boy can change a good girl forever"
