Just an ongoing set with links and any info I have found on various dramas that I have enjoyed. I prefer light hearted and fun, am happy to watch everything from, crappy low budget all the way up. My rating system is simple, I enjoyed it or I didn't. If you happen to watch and enjoy one of them and know another one it reminds you of let me know.
I'll start with one of my favorites: 《女帝古穿今,病嬌三爺日日求貼貼》 Nǚdì Gǔ Chuān Jīn, Bìngjiāo Sān Yé Rì Rì Qiú Tiē Tiē , The Female Emperor Out of Time, and the Third Master Who Begs for Cuddles
-BSI
(Hopefully all of the links work)
If anyone has anyone info on Yang Yang I'd love to know
霍尔泽 Huò Ěr Zé - function in the story not established in the cut. His own 短剧百科 page lists this drama by name, which is the independent second source that confirmed the cast
《凤池生春》Fèng Chí Shēng Chūn — Spring Over Phoenix Pond
戚元 Qī Yuán — the true Qi/Hou heiress, switched at birth, reborn secret guard turned investigator. Female lead
Zhu Li Lan 朱丽岚
~61
MDL · .org / .net: not successfully checked, see below
萧云庭 Xiāo Yúntíng, styled 靖王 Jìng Wáng Prince Jing — the male lead, investigating a disaster-relief corruption case and, underneath it, his own family's history with Consort Da Liu. Male lead
齐王 Qí Wáng Prince/King Qi — the antagonist prince, runs a private brothel-and-trafficking operation, son of Consort Xiao Liu, the man Qi Yuan died across from in her first life
戚昭 Qī Zhāo — Qi Yuan's legitimate younger brother, initially hostile and infatuated with Jing'er, reforms over the run and ends up genuinely allied with Qi Yuan
戚锦 Qī Jǐn, called 锦儿 Jǐn'ér ("Jing'er" in the English track) — the wet nurse's biological daughter, raised in Qi Yuan's place, the household's primary schemer against her for most of the run
戚震 Qī Zhèn — the current head of the Qi/Hou household ("Mr. Hou," "the Marquis" in the English subs), Qi Yuan's father. Character-to-actor link for this specific role is inferred from context (he is billed on MDL simply as "Qi Zhen," and "Mr. Hou" is who runs the house on-screen); flagged, not certain the way the top rows are.
長公主 zhǎng gōngzhǔ, billed on MDL as "Grand Princess" (the English track renders her "the eldest princess") — Xiao Yunting's aunt, retired to a mountain temple, comes down for the recognition ceremony and stays central through the endgame
老侯爷 Lǎo Hóuyé "Old Marquis" — Qi Yuan's grandfather, the elder head of the household, distinct from 戚震 above (he presides over the Mid-Autumn dinner scene and is taken hostage in the endgame)
周太傅 Zhōu Tàifù Grand Tutor Zhou — King Qi's tutor and chief court backer, brought down mid-run when Qi Yuan exposes that he forced his widowed sister-in-law to die "nobly" to fake a chastity monument
Eventually someone will wander in here randomly even with my stupid post title and be amazed by how much work I put into IDing these. Or not. Probably not.
Edit: I found more info on it, added under the video
I love this one but it cuts off abruptly and the title is pure clickbate, its cultivator reborn kid of show. The cover image has nothing to do with the show and I haven't been able to figure out much about it yet
沈轻 Shěn Qīng - lead, the cultivator
Liu Ying
刘盈
