All Dramas I've Watched in 2026 Ranked

I love dramas that take me by surprise in multiple aspects. Nothing new when it comes to contemporary/modern romance dramas, but Love Between LInes makes it stand out in its execution. It's a drama done right if I do say so myself. 

It's very rare for me to not skip a few seconds in any drama but LBL never had me wanting to fast forwards throughout all episodes. 

One of the few dramas I regret putting off for yearsssss.   This is how you show mental disorders on screen and help the audience understand the realities of mental health in society. Other than the psych aspect, the acting and plot were done splendidly.

As a psychology major, this has a special place in my heart.

One of the most, if not the most, cleanly finished historical/costume dramas I have ever watched. How dare this drama charmingly convince me that this was the best one I've watched this year so far when Blossom and LitC exist right before it? What brought it above the rest of the other similar dramas I've watched was really the characters and the overall satisfaction I got after watching it. I wanted more, but at the same time, I was very content with the drama as a whole, so I'm just happy that I got to watch it. WCR and CL were amazing throughout the drama, and I'm glad the casting director got them both.

How am I even supposed to watch any Chinese Drama after HDY and LBL??? I can't believe 2026 gave us two absolutely beautiful dramas with amazing stories, characters, and actors. This year is definitely the year of CDramas, and I'm here to enjoy it all.

Starting the year off with an amazing drama and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. A rare gem of a historical drama that wouldn't let me put it down the moment I started watching. The chemistry and understanding between our two leads was just beautiful and convinced me to watch more from the genre. 

I usually get bored when it came to the politics of these types of dramas but Blossom had a very good balance between the romance, politics, family drama, and angst that I had a blast watching it for 3 days lmao

Genuinely and technically better drama than HDY, but HDY just connected with me better as an avid manhua and webtoon reader. Blossom still takes the cake for its beautiful characters, plot, and cinematography.

I am really starting to regret watching good drama after good drama this year so far because I know it'll only go down or stagnant from there. I had my reservations in watching another Xianxia after WDBTD coz I thought that drama would finally convince me to watch xianxias, but little did I know, LitC was the answer all along.

Our main leads' chemistry was off the charts (same goes for all LYX dramas to be fair) and the plot had such good intrigue, mystery, and intensity that I just wanted to keep going even though I was on the verge of tears multiple times. Overall very VERY good drama and a good starting xianxia.

It's another comfort watch type of drama where the main conflict in the story is family and the initial hesitance of our leads to get together. I guess that's all the drama one can really get when both leads are actually rich and secure in their lives LOL. 

Overall very well executed drama that I can rewatch when I'm in the mood for a chill romance.

I wanted to like this drama sooooo bad because I'm an absolute sucker for sports dramas. But when the plot suddenly wanted to focus on the politicking of the shooting team, I really lost interest and wanted the drama to be over with. Could use more actual sports problems other than external admin and politics from assholes that know nothing about sports.

While watching I kept convincing myself that maybe it really was just the ending that was the problem, but when we actually started to lose the plot from the beginning, I was just confused with it all. Yes, there is AMAZING chemistry between our leads, but a drama can only go so far with that when the rest of it is a bundled mess.
