1. Moonlight Mystique
Chinese Drama - 2025, 40 episodes
I think I will rewatch this just because of Sa DinhDong's opening ost. It's beautiful. The visuals are great and the story telling is perfectly paced. One of the few Xianxia where I see both the ML and FL trusting and sacrificing for each other.
not sure whether any other drama will replace this top spot for next 2 years. Maybe after that i will slowly forget the beauty just like long balled on 2nd spot LOL
But this drama? made me cry laugh...much more. I was left with an empty void after watching this.

3. How Dare You!?
Chinese Drama - 2026, 32 episodes
i am dead serious when i am saying how much i have waited for this drama. i watched the anime an year ago and i wanted the season 2 to air so bad but this was so much far from my expectations. far? beyond? much much better. I had no idea of the story after s1 of the anime so after 20eps of drama everything was new to me. The pacing of the story is so good. Not a single boring ep. I felt so bad for the Ml. He is tyrant but he is such a wife's man. He cares for the Fl so much. I have to admit that what he did, i can never do it for someone in real life.
Fl on the other hand, another green flag. Loved the ML through everything, trusted him and believed in herself as well . She is so smart i love her.
Let's talk about the dresses. The Fl's dresses were beautiful. The red and black dress and the green and white one. Wow just wow.

4. Blossoms of Power
Chinese Drama - 2026, 36 episodes
Just so much you want from a down bad male lead. He loved her so much, mealted her iron heart. The biggest yearner is the FL after the ML dies. They both fell in love at different times and the perfect times if you asked me. FL opened her heart later but when she did, it was huge and she did everything for him. ML did everything from the begining. Such a beautiful story.

5. The Long Ballad
Chinese Drama - 2021, 49 episodes
This was probably my earliest Historical drama. Very low on romance but too much to teach about life and death. I think i cried a lot while watching this.

6. Love Like the Galaxy: Part 2
Chinese Drama - 2022, 29 episodes
Omg where do I even start? The acting was top notch. I hated Lusi's character in the beginning but i think that was the point of the show. Her being immature because she lacked love to her becoming strong after being with the empress for long. She learnt a lot. And LBY? Those eyes? Bro is killing with those love filled expressions.

7. New Life Begins
Chinese Drama - 2022, 40 episodes
My mom and I both watched this because apparently this turned out to be perfect portal of households and struggle of women in ancient past. It was such a soothing and comforting slice of life drama with mentally powerful ladies. Oh I loved watching the friendship between all of the female characters.

8. Who Rules the World
Chinese Drama - 2022, 40 episodes
One Drama that I always comes back to because of how both of them are powerful. A badass FL is something rare in Historical dramas. The action scenes and the dynamic between the ML and FL was so good. I loved how they both trusted each other throughout.
