Vertical Dramas

HE.

HE.

HE. 

Toxic lol. 

Toxic lmao.

Slightly toxic. HE.

Top 3 crazy. Toxic ml, toxic sml. Crazy af. 

Ml annoyed me at points but it was a nice watch.

Toxic but HE. 

Who doesn't love a queen and her men. Only downside is she technically doesn't end up w a harem. 

Cliffhanger ending.

HE...I guess.

Her family was annoying but I like the cp.

Glad she left him at the end. Was a fun watch. Not a weird endless torture vertical drama. 

Acting was very good and the plot was very interesting. Also, a HE. 

She should have not forgiven him so quickly...it annoyed me tbh, but this is a cute drama/fun watch. Acting is decent. 

Trigger warning: Tbh, all of these ancient mini dramas need trigger warning but this one especially for SA. His brother gives him some drug that makes him violent crazy etc and he forgets everything every time. Only reason why this is even listed here is because aside from the random drug/crazy faze, it's somewhat nice...I guess. 

This wasn't what I was expecting tbh...and idk if I like it or not. 

Cliffhanger....sad because it was so fun and different. 

"I was tricked into marrying this one guy and after he's gone, my mother-in-law forced me to sleep with his brother" trope. 

This is...something. It's interesting to say the least. 

This was a fun watch so I gave it a 9.

Two bad bitches coming together to deal with their sumbag husband. #girlpower

The ending of this one was annoying because it's a cliffhanger. In their past life, no matter what she did, he treated her badly, and eventually she died. She then gets a do-over and tries by all means to avoid him, but he keeps sabotaging her. In the end, he has a dream about what he put her through in their previous life, and kind of alludes to that as well when speaking to her. It ends in a cliffhanger because we don't get to see what happens after she finds out. But based on the other version of this I've seen, unfortunately, it's likely that she marries him again. 

Lmao, this one is so funny to me because the female lead plays tf out of the male lead and the second male lead. It's so fun to watch her toy with them. 

My favorite version of this plot. 

Plot: The man I married brings home a concubine and tries to undermine my position as his main wife, so I become the Emperor's side piece and eventual wife. 

I like this version, but another version of this is called 《侯门焚心录》, and I prefer that version. 

Basic plot: Female lead is reborn after being killed by her family in her past life, she's then forced to sign a slave contract with the male lead so that he can help her/she can survive. On top of that, she helps him with his goals, etc. 

The reason I like this version less than the one I mentioned above is that he's a lot meaner to the female lead. And towards the end, there is sort of a cliffhanger after she rejects being his queen. Whereas in the other one, although we don't get to see the fight for his rise in power, we know they are fighting side by side. The male lead also seems to respect the female lead in 《侯门焚心录》a lot more. 

Plot: Born a concubine's daughter and suffering hardship, she's determined to escape concubinage. She meets the male lead, and it's a never-ending tango between the two. In the end, she focuses on her studies while also getting the man. 

Reverse harem. My fav! 

This is so cute. Two BFFs get married into the same family and 'pretend' to have personalities that they don't have in order to please their husbands. They then decided to run away together, but the husbands came after them. They all end up in happy, cute marriages. 

Sigh, the relationship between the general and the empress dowager is so so cute. I wish we got to see more of it. Out of the three versions of this plot that I've seen, this one is my favorite. We also get to see her cute relationship with her adopted grandson. 

This one is so funny. They switch bodies, and in order to switch back, they have to sleep together. 

Extremely cute and wholesome.

I think so far I've liked every version of this plot that I've seen. 

The only version of this plot that I've seen and liked. In this version, the emperor's love and protection of her makes sense. In the other one I saw, it was weird and felt like it came out of nowhere. 

I love this one so much, but the ending is so frustrating. We don't get to find out who her baby daddy is. Also, trigger warning because in the beginning of the show, she doesn't remember who she sleeps with because she put something into her drink and their drinks. Ngl, a lot of vertical cdramas need trigger warnings. 

My fav modern toxic couple lmao. It starts off with her ending up in a relationship with the male lead because her ex bf, who is his family member, cheats on her. We then get a lot of back and forth between them in their relationship because they have different wants/needs. In the end, he almost dies saving her, and they make up/officially get together. 

Badass female lead realizes that the emperor's love is fickle and plots against him. She wins. I mainly watched this because the female is a princess in Legend of Zhaohua, and the emperor is a character in the Legend of Shenli. It was fun to watch, and the acting was great. 

The prince has been poisoned, and the only way to live is by sleeping with the female lead, as she has the cure in her blood. She ends up 'dying' and he grieves her, only to later find out she didn't die, but her health is terrible, and they have a child. 

"I'm not really a boy or related to the imperial family, and my 'uncle' wants me"

One of those "I'm not really a boy or related to the imperial family, and my 'uncle' wants to jump my bones" dramas. 

"Faked my identity to have a baby, now the male lead is out of prison and is after me."

"The guy I was engaged to got a concubine, so I got a concubine!"

Catfish in the first couple of seconds of this drama lmao. It's cute, though. 

Plot: The male lead is a tyrant, and the female lead's goal with her system is to make him into a good ruler. Only each time, she dies. On the bright side, every time she dies, she gets transported into the body of someone new, and the 'tyrant' king recognizes her. Trigger warning, though, because there are some forced kisses and...it's not clear if he forces her to...or not.
