Watch project for my on-hold Chinese costume dramas
I have a bunch of Chinese costume dramas on-hold (ideally I’d love to keep that list empty) that I think I need to finish (or decide to drop). What I’m going to do is commit to watching 1 episode per week (slow progress is better than no progress) and maybe I’ll get into some of them enough to do more than that. I’m indecisive, so I’ve made this list with the dramas in question and am asking people to help me out on deciding what order to watch them in (ultimately it doesn’t matter since I have to get to them all eventually).
