New to cdramas need recs!

Ive seen master devil do not kiss me, I cannot touch you and hidden love (earlier this year) I liked it but felt it was a bit boring (sorry ik a lot of ppl love it) and that hed known her in school was a bit eh. Need smt with good chemistry, a good interesting plot I always like. Also wanna try historical cdramas but dont know where to start what's a good drama to get into that genre? Smt not too long or slow and easy to get into.

 autumn iris:

Haven't watch many Chinese costume dramas, but giving some recommendation.

Maybe you could start historical chinese microdrama like:

• A Familiar Stranger
• Fortune Writer
• Secrets of the Shadow Sect
• The Palace Gambit
• The Deliberations of Love
• The Killer Is Also Romantic
• Threads of Destiny

Without thinking about the length of episodes, I consider these as the best as I rated them 10/10:

• Chinese Paladin Season 3
• Ever Night (though I skipped S2, because of an actor change)
• Joy of Life (there's S2 and there will be S3, I'm waiting so that I could rewatch S1 before concluded all 3)
• Love Like the Galaxy: Part 1 + Part 2
• Mysterious Lotus Casebook
• Nirvana in Fire
• Ripe Town
• The Story of Ming Lan
• The Untamed

For something short, light, and funny:

• Hilarious Family (season 2 is of different plot, no need to watch)
• I've Fallen for You
• My Uncanny Destiny
• The Romance of Tiger and Rose
• Wrong Carriage, Right Groom

Thank you for those recs! I'll deftry them
