Day 16- Favorite non-BL Asian drama
I've watched a fair amount of non-BL dramas this year, including historicals with strong female leads. I almost always wait for straight dramas to finish airing then watch while waiting for current BLs to post.
All four of these outstanding 2025 titles (with high MDL ratings) are my top favs and would rec to anyone interested. 😁
The Prisoner of Beauty
Super smart FL marries the cold macho type ML early in the show, which isn't as common, so it was fun to watch their relationship go from there. They didn't know each other at the beginning. I couldn't wait to see what would happen.
Legend of the Female General
Badass FL is disguised as a man for part of the series (not her choice). Great main couple chemistry and plot. It's military/war so I skipped graphic parts.
Flourished Peony
Smart FL business woman and quirky ML build a slow relationship from friends first. Really enjoyable watch!
Love in the Clouds
Wuxia/Fantasy with a FL hiding her identity and a ML who is her rival/enemy. Another one where I had to skip graphic scenes. As with the above titles, I was interested from beginning to end, which says a lot cuz I can get bored or lose interest more easily with long dramas.
