I would recommend these series
They kept me engaged throughout a.k.a. no skip/fast forward.
If you know similar genres, tags or series, please recommend. Would be much appreciated.

![Kai Feng Qi Tan]()
6. Kai Feng Qi Tan
Chinese Drama - 2017, 25 episodes
+ Comedy, gag, silly fun.

![A Splendid Match]()
7. A Splendid Match
Chinese Drama - 2026, 40 episodes
+ Main leads, main couple, romance, sets, wide shots, food, family, costume.
- First 5-6 episodes were a chore (but picked up thereafter). Questionable writing for certain characters and plots (but always good with the main). Not so sure about the ending (but definitely conclusive).
