3. Lighter & Princess
Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes

4. The First Frost
Chinese Drama - 2025, 32 episodes
bai jingting and zhang ruonan? never such a visually perfect couple i have ever seen. need more collabs asap. also a very real drama showing some of lifes difficult times and the way someone can just bring more light into your life naturally.

5. Amidst a Snowstorm of Love
Chinese Drama - 2024, 30 episodes
wu lei is a different breed when it comes to eye acting (maybe cheng lei as well) but him with zhao jinmai is just perfect. the billiards made it better.

never knew wang churan and yangyang had a collab. once i caught wind, immediate watch. did not disappoint. i even rewatched it which i almost never do.

8. Hidden Love
Chinese Drama - 2023, 25 episodes
little zhizhi and her foxy toy. the hype this had with zheyuan and lusi. personally i thought it was overhyped, but not really underhyped. in the middle for me.

9. Twelve Letters
Chinese Drama - 2025, 12 episodes
why was this emotionally jarring?? and why was zhou yiran so fine with that straight hair in the beginning?? wang yinglu is on a roll with me these days

10. Glory of Special Forces
Chinese Drama - 2022, 45 episodes
probs the best military drama out there that i will ever watch. every actor fit the role so well. it was really jarring at times and emotionally tolling showing the suffering and difficulty of life that everyone experiences. a really deep drama
-
11. Go Ahead
Chinese Drama - 2020, 46 episodes
never beat a classic. a real story of life. a little unnatural to think of but no matter. it leads you through to that stage where you dont really care anymore. plus song weilong is fine so...
-
12. Always Home
Chinese Drama - 2025, 30 episodes
a story of life again. your student life, youth, carefree feelings then into adulthood. where feelings change and twist. you aren't sure anymore. you can't just live how you used to. very...real ig, 'slice of life' drama
