Chinese Verticals/Short/Mini Dramas that are worth watching

Good plot. Good cinematography. Good acting. Good everything!
Younger quite a party girl FL meets a boring stoic older ML. 

Fun fact: This is connected to another drama called 深情诱引 Affectionate Seduction which focuses on the story of the ML's brother. 

It was THE DRAMA of early 2025. Streets say that after watching this, they started having a hard time watching other verticals because of the quality this drama brought to the scene. 

Good acting. Good plot. ICONIC as heck (some scenes became too famous in China it became trending in douyin and some celebrities even were imitating it lol).

ps. I think this season was the one I had the most laugh. iykyk 

I know the premise is kinda ??????? but trust me. It's so good. I cried at least 3 times watching this story. The directing is so good you'd notice the quality at the very first episode. 

Also known as Secretary Qiu's Marriage. 
What can I say? I like slow burn and good dynamics from my leads. 

Slice-of-life Sichuanese family. Henpecked husband, strong wife, and actually really decent acting from the kids. 

Season 2 IS AMAZING OH MY GOD I CRIED A LOT.
