Modern life Chinese dramas

Rating and comments say it all.

One of the best romcom ever. Young FL actress is pure gem.

Rewatched once.

One of the best romcom ever with some dark background. ML acts very uncertain sometimes so it's a very slow burn romance. Really very slow.

Hidden Love's spinoff, but actors and some events and their order are differ. As for me it's better to consider it a standalone story.

Zhang Miao Yi steals the show every time she appears.

Woah! It hits hard by simple words from the beginning. Overdose of romance and fluffness.

No intrigue or drama, yet very emotional. All characters are really alive, no exceptions.

All "secondary" couples so nice too. Highly recommended. You'll either love it for its fluff or dislike it for its lack of action-packed drama.

It's one of my "comfort dramas".

Rewatched once.

Really funny comedy. At same time it's a deep story about finding yourself.

ML is such a nerd in a worst meaning at the beginning. He has a "reason" for that. By half way it turns better.

Rewatched once.

Liked it. No agnst, some misunderstanding. Compared to other dramas reasonable ML-FL initial repulsion.

SML/"support" + FL "love" is something nobody've seen because they forgot to film it I guess.

Kisses are so-so. First one disappointed. Forehead? Seriously? Anyway there is enough leads chemistry.

Timeloop action. Catchy. Slightly romantic.

Friends to lovers trope done well. Second couple is OMG so cute.

It's annoying to admit, but this is the only worthwhile Wang Yu Wen's c-drama.

Nice slowburn romance and some sports.

Classic Zhang Miao Yi. Warm and fluffy.

Great story. Script, emotions, jokes, acting, chemistry — all around so good.

1-16 eps: school and neighbours. Warm and funny.

17-27 eps: university love, romance, new friends. Life choices.

28-30 eps: adult life struggle.

Love the way love polygons resolved.

Interesting style. A little of melancholy, some romance, pretty tough business background. For the first half. Then tons of romance, flirt and cuteness. Don't forget the special.

Noticeable soundtrack, that sets the right mood of suspense, desperate jealousy or romantic tension.

And again: kisses. They are delicate, intimate and sexy here.

Rewatched once.

Confidence, confidence, more confidence. Rivals to sismance.

Noona romance at it's best. Some sports.

Police investigations. No romance, just bromance.

Nice romance. Easy to watch. Not cringe game background.

Rewatched once.

Warm countryside story. Some sadness, nice sismance, awesome elders. Most of characters have their own line revealed.

Lovers reunite. A touching story of forgiveness and reconciliation. A very thoughtful script and dialogues.

I liked how the true feelings of the main characters gradually revealed.

Rewatched once.

Second chance with nice twists. Not "ex comes back" that i personally don't like.

Fifth wall broken funny way.

Rewatched once.

So many dark violent tags. In fact it began as quite funny story about healing and support.

Then it turns to crime investigation and corporate wars. But still romantic comedy.

Confident and cute FL with hidden identity to her parents.

Nice romance. Warm and funny. Bitter alittle.

Don't miss special episode.

Punchy and cute FL just like classic Yu Shu Xin does it. Sometimes slow-witted ML.

Body swap trope nicely done. Not awkward, but warm and funny.

Mother-daughter relations. Very confident FL and very controlling mother.

Light, funny, fluffy. Great chemistry.

Smooth show. Supportive leads.

Classic Zhang Miao Yi. Warm and fluffy.

Easy to watch school - university youth story.

Love triangle / square in the middle after reunion.

Something like Fake It Till You Make It (some same actors, including ML).

More relaxed story compared to FITYMI. The characters' actions don't look far-fetched btw.

Mains here are really "mains", so it's hard to associate yourself just with someone.

Ah... that lighthouse kiss.

Nice feeling of a resort romance with a happy open ending.

Stoneface Dylan and sometimes messy director's of edit work. Easy to watch story.

A convincing enough entourage of police service and medical work.

A good balance of romance, drama and comedy.

Romantic bantering, no drama, easy to watch.

A slow, even melancholic narrative about a cold hero and a persistent heroine. Like a visual novel, she plays. Quite easy to watch.

Reconciliation of brothers after a quarrel in the past. The apologies were very touching.

Lu Qing Wu starts out as an antagonist and her act looks quite unseemly, but she is very attractive even before the truth reveal.

Pretending to be romantic and sexy, but I didn't see any tension till ep. 12.

Literally nothing happened in first 11 episodes.

Then spontaneous hot kisses and naked body. Another unnecessary breakup just for breakup and they explain it three episodes straight.

As classic said: "not bad, but not good".

Still good, but 1st season better.

Problems, problems, startup problems, more problems. Overconfident FL. Some romance and ML support, nice FL's friends.

+ special

Rewatched once because of  He Rui Xian and to make a comment here (forgot it fast for the first time).

Something like My Girlfriend Is an Alien. Similar plot's start and vibes, but more mature I guess.

Cute. For the first eps Chen Hao Lan (personally like her so much) looks like tired panda, later she shows her trademark spontaneity. Leads have good chemistry.

It's getting funnier from episode to episode in the first half.

A fantasy story about getting rid of regrets and the courage to take responsibility for your fate.

Nice enough office romance.  Confident FL.

Cheerful FL. ML just right. Alive, no poker face, smart, empathetic — rare one in "modern live cdramas". 

Second leads are for comedy and they doing it very well.

The crumpled ending spoils the impression a little.

Cheerful FL. Easy to watch comedy.

Not much depth in plot, but drama is underrated imo.

Coming out of ages with friendship through the years. One time watch.

But nothing memorable tbh. Tried to rewatch it for synopsis and gave up.

Sport, overcoming, support. Not much fluff, but nice.

Yu Shu Xin and Zeng Ni as best friends (they were rivals in My Journey to You).

Classic childish Yu Shu Xin. Nice and fluffy romcom.

Pros: all characters are alive, actors doing great, awesome locations and costumes.

Cons: breakup just for breakup, crappy shrink edit 32->23 eps spoil alot of pleasure, secondary couples lines just ripped away.

Really good and fluffy, but lacks something for me to be "OMG so awesome cute" like alot of people say.

Cute university sports. Silly sometimes, but fun.

Crossdressing trope, but c'mon she definitely has noticeable boobs, not flat chest like other actresses in same roles.

Iceberg cold unemotional ML (char, not actor). Oversupportive FL.

Sci-Fi time paradox struggle for avoid death and get back loved ones.

Sometimes there is an overabundance of longing and despair of ML.

Seemed goofy for the first few episodes, but overall exceeded expectations.

Don't forget the special. A "What if" reverse version with multiple references to the original source. Compilation made in an unusual and funny way.

No plot, easy to watch funny romcom. Sometimes cringy, but good over all.

Not bad romance, funny yet confident FL, "grumpy cat face" ML (getting slightly better by ep. 16).
But I can't get seriously that CTF "game". It's supposed to be a hackers competition for attack and defence and need alot of coding, but they like playing boring FPS without onscreen action, using just ASWD keys. And it has a huge fanbase and alot of budgets. It can't make you believe and can't get into it. Then out of sudden it turns to CS-like game in ep. 19 and back again to console coding in ep. 30. Except this it's good.

Youth, e-sports, begin again, chasing dream.

If you liked Go Go Squid! and Falling into Your Smile it's quite similar and worth watching.

There is special no one can find nowadays.

Naive Not a trivial Cinderella story. Easy to watch.

All the problems and complexes caused by Cinderella syndrome are well shown.

Short and cute time travel.

Youth / school days in year 2008.

I followed Rain Lu after Shadow Love and Gank Your Heart.

Slightly underrated because first few eps are boring.

Girly, cloying. Funny and fluffy enough.

Quite fast (13/28) leads got together.

Rewatched once. Raised my rate from 7 to lower 8. Seemed too silly for the first time (maybe I watched something deep right before it).

Sci-Fi cute comedy.

The most shamelessly explicit с-series out of a 70 watched and does it have a "G - All Ages" rating? Naked bodies, hickey and hot hugs in the second episode. Very atypical for c-dramas.

Same time it looks like filmed in 2009, not 2019. Like sometimes naive and stupid and some actors are overacting purposely.

A lot of empty dialogues about nothing. Instant change of relationship from dislike to friendly banter.

Halfway getting better.

Complexities of universal scale, sucked out of the finger, typical for low-budget chinese series.

The mains literally run from each other in a third of the series.

Then strange facial expressions and awkward kisses.

Oh, in ep. 14 they're chasing each other like it's the 90s and there are no cell phones or phone chargers in plane. Watching the series is not easy.

After the breakup (how can there be drama without it?) lack of communication for a very strange reason.

Not bad, but not good.

Short (less than 4 hours in total).

Business and design background made so formally. Just for some kind of unnecessary setting for relations.

I bet directors by ep. 23 or so forgot pairs status: are they together dating or apart again. Some plot twists are forced only for the sake of a minute-long drama and the most annoying thing is the artificially contrived problems and obstacles just out of the blue. Feels like one big filler.

Another tsundere ML in terminal stage. 20+ eps of threating/harrasing FL.

An unromantic abusive boss ML and an insecure FL. The worst combination.

Surprisingly not repulsive, quite watchable. Wonder how far their bullying will go. 

Another iceberg ML, but with foot fetish this time.

Leads too often bump into each other like it's not a big city, but a village.

Too many kabedons and scenes in WC. Rushed first kiss scenes and confessions made formally.  

+2 special eps.

As you can see from synopsis it's all about ingame action, no real life mentioned. It's because no one can even recall what's it about.

Easy to watch, but messy script or edit at the few last episodes. Strange CEO decisions.

It's even more girly than 1st season.

The cartoon villains began to behave even more stupidly.

Short. Nothing really special. Just beautiful actors.

The sounds of constant sighs and slurping are annoying.
Terrible kisses. Wanna to shoutout: devour her already and let's end this show. 

The mystery quickly exhausted itself and the story turned into a farce. And again, kisses are awful. Dumbest reason for breakup ever.

I can't understand why the Chinese consider ML bullying FL to be romantic.

Getting slightly better by ep. 16.

Exactly same vibe of all around stupidity as korean Boys over Flowers.

Shen Qing and her two exes are the worst.

First ML kiss with totally drunk FL, that's all about romance here. Even lunches here are sexier than kiss scenes.

The Love You Give Me main actors here again. Fail again?

Honestly it must be in "dropped" section. The male lead spends much of the show mocking the female lead, even waving his hand dismissively as she cowers in fear. And yet, the female lead falls in love with this creep.

Eps. 16-24 just skipforwarded.

Yep, all the worst clichés come together here, clearly showing how foolish people, especially men, can be when blinded by love.

Does Wang Yu Wen has the only one good drama You Are My Lover Friend after all?

Dropped

ML's avoidant type of attachment in it's most neglected form.

Characters get involved in interaction in silly and far-fetched ways.

Dropped

Misunderstanding gone really wrong mostly from ML.

Dropped

No chemistry. Like -100 out of 10. Dead fish kisses.

Dropped

Top cringe. Not that stupid as Lucky's First Love, but cringy caricature .

Lost puppy face ML, merry-go-round dialogue: - Tell me, you're Yuan Yuan. - No, I'm not. *Repeat*.

Took my words back. By ep. 8 it is the most stupid series ever.

Dropped

Even sweet bunny Lu Si can't help messy script.

Dropped

Lead characters are worth each other with their terrible behavior.
