The funniest projects released in Asia

The creators of Asian comedies in one film try to combine several genres at once. For example, comedy and romantic melodrama with reference to fantasy or action. Such an “explosive” mixture helps to attract the attention of different audiences - young girls who sigh about love, and guys who are closer to a bright action in the style of martial arts, sensitive housewives and the cynical “office plankton”. Therefore, each viewer here can find "his" film, which will be in tune with his mood and style.

There are so many Asian films with a touch of comedy that the list would be endless. After all, they were all shot at approximately the same quality level, and highlighting something special is quite problematic.
