My Top 10-8.0 Rated Dramas from China
Best viewed in browser.
You can pretty much give all of these a 8 - Many have started in this list with a ten to be changed later. That is the nature of enjoyment, and the aftermath of hindsight. All you really need to know, all are recommended.
My Top 10-8.0 Rated Dramas from China - notes are not detailed and sometimes only one word to describe my feelings. I had a lot of fun watching them. I hope the list helps someone find something they will like. Cheers, A
