My 2025 Dramas

All the cliches and regular struggles with a twist of superpowers

Some shows are made purely for the joy of watching—and this one is exactly that. Light, funny, whimsical, and unexpectedly heartwarming. I didn’t expect to get so hooked, but here I am, already missing those adorable characters.

Comedy and bit of romance Just what is needed to relax and laugh at the antics of the "superstar" actor YouXi (Kele Sun) and the "assistant" Yuchi YaoYao (Hanna/Lu YangYang) he roped in. It often feels like parody, clichés and tropes are gleefully taken on by the actors.There is a complicated word (enoclophobia) for the mental discomfort suffered by the FL character.

Snack-size drama, but solid entertainment (Short C Drama)

This was unexpectedly great for a short drama. Clear, concise storytelling, good acting, sensual energy between the leads. Excessive comedy in the beginning might give the wrong impression, this is actually a serious story.

Addictive drama with flaws

Although it was very addictive all the way through and carried itself well, there were many frustrating moments with phone interruptions, lack of communication and misunderstandings which were not too bad but these were used as weak plot points repeatedly and made the show longer than necessary. The acting was very well done and there are some lovely romance scenes as well which were very enjoyable. I love the female lead and her other works, she is really great.Loved the second and third couple more than the main couple

love, family, and destiny 

A beautifully written low burn romance that captures the struggle of growing up unloved and learning to open one’s heart — all wrapped in breathtaking visuals and heartfelt performances.

This first part focuses on Shaoshang’s growth — from a misunderstood girl yearning for affection to a confident woman learning to trust and love. The chemistry between the leads is magnetic, filled with tender moments, teasing banter, and emotional depth. The show also excels in world-building, with stunning sets, intricate costumes, and a script that balances witty humor with heartfelt drama.

mature, heart-wrenching saga of love, loyalty, and redemption 

After misunderstandings and separations in Part 1, this sequel dives deep into the consequences of secrets, vengeance, and political intrigue. The once sweet and teasing relationship between Shaoshang and Ling Buyi now faces betrayal, war, and painful choices. Their love is tested not by petty jealousy but by duty versus desire, as both characters grow stronger through hardship.

A powerful, emotionally charged continuation that turns a youthful love story into an epic tale of forgiveness, courage, and enduring devotion — proving that love, like the galaxy, can shine even through the darkest storms.

A story on fighting for your dream

This gave me a very bad first impression that I almost dropped it.  This drama will not be winning any awards for great storytelling but it is filled with great characters that are very endearing. The romance is cute but I think my favorite part of this drama was seeing the friendships and interactions. Although some of the character motivations do not make any sense.With all that said, I enjoyed watching this show. It was very cute. There wasn't much to it.

More than the romance, the journey of team solo as they fight for country pride either as individuals or as a group was the main essence of this show.

Entertaining, Interesting  and Messy

The story is interesting but messy. What really drove this show was character development. Of the 6 main characters, most of them ended up completely different than they started the show.This show really finds it's form in the middle, when each of these characters grow up and start to find themselves.

When Youth Finds Its Wings with Overloaded Cuteness_

It is a heartwarming and nostalgic coming-of-age drama that perfectly captures the innocence and beauty of first love. Set in a high school filled with laughter, dreams, and bittersweet moments, it tells the story of Su Zai Zai — a bright, bubbly girl who falls for the quiet and kind Zhang Lu Rang. Their story isn’t about grand gestures, but the gentle moments that make young love so memorable — shared glances, silent support, and growing together through life’s uncertainties.

It reminds us that sometimes love isn’t about chasing perfection but about finding someone who makes you feel at peace with who you are.

A gripping journey to love, friendship, and growth

FL (Ren Ruyi) is THE lethal yet graceful assassin you'll ever see in Cdrama land. This is her story in finding a new purpose in life, to be more humane than just being a "killing machine," from a lone wolf to finally finding the wolf pack that can fight together with her.
ML (Ning Yuanzhou) is a former assassin and leader of the country's intel organization. The greenest of green flags ML ever. He's heroic, charismatic, affectionate to those he loves, not an annoyingly cold character but still ruthless and unrestrained to enemies.
Ability-wise, we can say they're the the birds of a feather that flock together.

1.  Equally strong and smart leads
2. Very mature and healthy relationship between the leads
3.  COMEDY
4.  Intense fight scenes
5. A group of likeable characters with their heartening/ inspirational relationship

Dark Romance ,Wattpad Vibe (Short C Drama)

The chemistry between the leads is off the charts.So for a short drama there are parts of this that are genuinely impressive — the cinematography is good, the sound mixing fits the vibes, and I admit...some steamy scenes were great and a breath of fresh air from the cutesiness that c-dramas usually stick to.

Sweetness Without the Drama—Just Pure Love

Love Me, Love My Voice is one of those rare modern C-dramas that feels like a warm hug. It’s tender, sincere, cozy, and absolutely overflowing with heart. What makes it special is not grand conflicts or dramatic twists but its purity, its gentle romance, and its authenticity. This is a story that celebrates kindness, healing, good food, good music, and genuine connection.

Melodrama

I'm really glad I stuck with this after the first few episodes because it got much better. Despite the low production value and frequent cringey English speaker scenes, the story is great and binge worthy and the chemistry is excellent. Underrated

UNPREDICTABLE 

The story line is intriguing. Fan Xian is a very smart and strong man. His background is very mysterious. His mom was dead when he was born and he never knew who she was. This is a drama that contains a lot of surprises and mysteries.  The suspense, the comedy, the everything was to die for.

Sexy romantic drama with a reverse cinderella plot (Short C Drama)

This drama had a dark melancholic feeling to it, a unexpected love-story carved inside threats of war. The storyline portrays a woman who is passionate and courageous in choosing her own path in life. She's not weak, smart, or stupid. The ending songs are all great, and the songs perfectly suit the story.
What I dislike: ML and FL are separated too often. They should have had more time to live like normal couples.

Contract Marriage Becomes True Love

The series started great. I watch it because of Song Wei Long is the male lead. Early series was enjoyable and full of laughter. First Impression of Female Lead was calm and smart. But as time goes by and she got married, she began to show her true colors. She is selfish, childish, annoying and don't really care about her husband. She only think about herself. I think the story between Min min and Zhang Yu is more interesting compared to the main couple.

This drama falls prey constantly to cliches and tropes that we’ve grown tired of. The cliches are used as the only thing moving plot forward, leaving the pacing so odd. This show has a strange ability to speed up all the wrong plots and slow down all the wrong plots. It is infuriating.

slow-burning  love story of balance between feeling too little and too much. 

The ML is not a red flag. Neither is the FL. They are just two very different individuals. One feels too little. The other feels too much. One has no trouble with expressing herself, the other has never expressed himself before he met her. They are a truly balanced pair and to see them mature from season 1 to season was a delightful experience.

A Journey from Mischief to Mature Love

Despite being opposites in every way — one calm and logical, the other emotional and impulsive — their love continues to grow stronger through everyday challenges.
Kotoko’s boundless enthusiasm and Naoki’s quiet devotion create a heartwarming balance that makes their bond feel real and relatable.
As they face career struggles, misunderstandings, and the ups and downs of marriage, they both learn what true partnership means.
Season 2 beautifully captures how love matures when two very different people choose to grow together, not apart.

When Two Mature Hearts Choose Each Other — Passion meets Scars

Chemistry between the leads electrifying.The 26 episodes felt just right; neither rushed nor dragged. The love story, along with the hidden layers of the plot, was beautifully expressed. It’s a wonderful narrative that truly deserves more recognition and appreciation.Both main leads are matured. They're not likely who will leave one another just because of an argument nor a problem, they tend to look for a solution and reconcile.

More Than a Doctor: The Humanity Behind Dr. Romantic

It is not just a medical drama . it’s a deeply emotional and inspiring story about purpose, compassion, and rediscovering what it means to truly save lives. Set in the humble Doldam Hospital, far away from the glamour of big city medicine, the show captures the raw essence of being a doctor through its complex characters and heart-touching cases.

Lessons Beyond the Scalpel— The Mentor Who Heals More Than Wounds

This season isn’t just about saving lives; it’s about rediscovering one’s belief in humanity, in medicine, and in oneself. It strikes a balance between heartwarming and heartbreaking moments, leaving you inspired long after the credits roll.

 A powerful continuation that deepens the original’s spirit — Dr. Romantic 2 is heartfelt, mature, and beautifully human.

A Lighthearted Tale of Revenge and Romance (Short C Drama)

This is a stylish and well-produced binge watch, with a fabulous ML, and an FL that compliments him well. Republican era short length drama with  quite a few funny and cute moments woven into it. Although its technically a revenge story, the focus is really more on the main characters' friends and family in a way that makes the journey of the ML and FL rather satisfying to watch.Overall I found this a well balanced show, with elements of humor, danger, action, intrigue, and sweetness. It was a little bit fluffy, and a little bit fiery. One thing it was not, was heavy. So you won't want to go into this with a super serious mindset, it's meant to be something of a light watch.

Fantasy Romance of  Introverts

It had such a gentle but powerful impact. The way Kiyoka cared for Miyo, not just as a husband but as someone who truly saw her pain and wanted to protect her, was so beautiful and rare. It wasn’t over-the-top dramatic but something about the soft pacing and emotional depth just stays with you. Both characters are introverts and they express their love through sincerity. The supporting cast is also pretty amazing. This might just be one of the best casting for live action.

Interesting MINI with Twists (Vertical C Drama)

This was a good mini drama. The ML will be one to watch. The chemistry between the leads was good. The 'inclusive' twists made things interesting. The FL was good at pacing herself throughout the series. Production could have been better with styling. The various twists even in the end felt as if they are prepping the series for a part 2. Which would be interesting yet trying. The ending was a bit rushed especially with the reveal. but this series overall is solid. A good watch.
