Must Watch Dramas

Intricate, plot-driven drama with many plot twists to constantly keep you on your toes.

Interesting, fast-paced and thought-provoking. Excellent performance by Liu Dan.

aka "The Suffering of Si Feng", "Pain and Suffering", or "The Great Simp"

incredible. 

Very good CGI

Mystery/Detective drama with a cross-dressing lead. A very easy and satisfying drama. Not too long too! This is the male lead's debut drama too, and he was pretty good! Overall, it's an impressive, sweet drama.

amazing drama, amazing acting. best Dr. Qin

in-depth characters, each has a motive for their actions. nicely paced and mostly logical. 

Bonus: SML looks like Xiao Zhan lol

A show about identity, belonging, and the struggles one faces when presented with conflicting aspects of identity and belonging. Amazing OST, very visually-appealing cast, and decently executed storyline. Outstanding performance by Yu Cheng En. Some plot holes and confusing points present, but the overall story is comprehensible. 

A show following an aerospace engineer and a top actress. This is a story about yearning between the characters, having a second chance at a relationship, and the struggles of having to juggle both their professional and private lives. A little boring at times, but a comforting show nonetheless. 

Liked the cliche, but switched tropes. 

A show about the struggles people faced during the Republic era in China (albeit mostly for rich kids). It highlights the struggles of grief, identity, the position a woman faced, and the impending dangers on the horizon. Some funny moments in the show (mostly between the two leads and their dynamic, or with the whole group and their dynamic) but the show does turn dark towards the end. Excellent performance by Bai Lu and Xu Kai. 

Good friendship and growth drama. Fun to watch, a little stressful at times tho, cuz it's like you are the one actually playing the game haha!! Good action-packed CGI. 

coming to age, pretty relatable to some degree?
