Usually, Chinese dramas don't suit my palate. Most of the time I find the plot draggy, situations superficial, or the characters ridiculous, especially female leads. I watch Kdramas mostly but here I am asking for some good Chinese thriller recommendations.
The Chinese dramas I have loved are
- The Long Night (Mindblown by how realistic and tight the plot and all the characters were. I thought media was heavily censored in China so a grim drama like that which deals with administrational corruption was a surprise)
- Love me if you Dare (I read the novel first so it was a pleasant experience to see how characters I loved reading are coming into life onscreen. Also I liked the plot and the cases too though it felt like it was a little diluted than the novel)
- A murderous affair in the Horizon Tower (Actually I enjoyed this one while watching a lot but after finishing it I could see the plot holes but nevertheless a good watch and I enjoyed the cinematography and overall feel)
- Memory Lost and When a Snail loves (I read 80% of the novel but for some reason didn't enjoy the drama)
- Evil Minds ( I watched this a long time ago but of course I can still remember how much I liked it)
- I remember not liking another thriller which had some undercover stuff (not because of the undercover plot but that looked somewhat unbelievable. The lead guy was locked up by the criminals and he trained inside the room alone and something, something)
So if anyof you can suggest me some good ones I will be really grateful. I wanted to try other dramas in the Light on series but then I heard Long Night was the best of them.
