Personal Vertical Dramas List
Vertical dramas - especially Chinese ones - got the best of me, so I feel the need to organise them properly.
- Mostly China-oriented;
- First on the list > Last watched;
- Ratings might feel less strict due to the fact that I can't really be objective, as these are what I'd call 500-yuan dramas

- 铭知山有匪 | Knowing the Mountains have Bandits | 5 ★
- 穿成公主她玩转朝堂做女帝 | Stay Your Princess, Behold My Own Empress | 4 ★
