2026 Dramas releases I watched | My Top & Flops |
I will add here all the shows I’ve watched that were released in 2026.
This is also for me, to summarize my impressions. Some of them already have reviews from me, but for the others I’ll just leave a simple comment here. I try to give many shows a chance, but I often stop after two episodes if it doesn’t suit me.

1. Can This Love Be Translated?
Korean Drama - 2026, 12 episodes
The most accomplished drama so far.. 15.03.20026 overall among everything I’ve watched, in my opinion. Bravo to the director. His universe always feels close to Hotel del Luna. I think he really has his own signature style. The whole cast is wonderful. I’ve left a detailed review for this drama.

2. Generation to Generation
Chinese Drama - 2026, 37 episodes
I’ve already left a very detailed review about this drama, along with many comments.
-
3. Affinity
Chinese Drama - 2026, 40 episodes
The best mini-series of the year and a discovery of a very promising actor. I also wrote a review about it.
-
4. Love Story in the 1970s
Chinese Drama - 2026, 29 episodes
When Life Gives You Tangerines mood (made in China)… the best Chinese contemporary series of the year so far. I’ll write a detailed review soon since I haven’t finished it yet.
-
5. Love between Lines
Chinese Drama - 2026, 28 episodes
The simplest, brightest, and most visually beautiful series of the year. (I left a review.)
-
6. Pursuit of Jade
Chinese Drama - 2026, 40 episodes
The biggest production of the year, but mainly serving the stars and their fandom.
-
7. To My Beloved Thief
Korean Drama - 2026, 16 episodes
Promising actors and a promising narrative, but the couple doesn’t really work. A detailed review will come soon. I’ve already left a lot of comments on this drama lol.

8. How Dare You!?
Chinese Drama - 2026, 32 episodes
Dropped 18 -The second biggest production of the year, purely commercial or idol drama. Like Jade, the couple works wonderfully—and that’s about it. Pure entertainment. I dropped it after 18 episodes. Too banal.
-
9. How to Train Your Killer
Chinese Drama - 2026, 30 episodes
A small-budget series that still holds up well. I watched it until the end with great interest.
-
10. About Love
Chinese Drama - 2026, 26 episodes
ep 2 -I admit this one is more psychologically focused and not really for the general public.
Liu Yu Ning clearly wanted to try something less commercial, which is commendable!! .
Some of the themes discussed are also quite interesting. Even though the subject doesn’t really move me emotionally, I was still eagerly waiting for this drama. However,
I dislike the way the female character is written. There isn’t a single character I can truly empathize with, and if there’s no empathy between the audience and the characters, then it simply doesn’t work for me.

11. Still Shining
Korean Drama - 2026, 10 episodes
I dropped it after episode 2. Maybe it develops later, but I didn’t find a reason to keep watching.
Park Jin Young, who was convincing in Seoul (largely thanks to the actress), feels way too static here and seems to be repeating the same role. Maybe I’m wrong, but the story also feels like it’s missing something important.
Overall, it just didn’t emotionally hook me -
12. No Tail to Tell
Korean Drama - 2026, 12 episodes
Drop et - 8ep Here as well, I feel that the woman clearly carries the project, and she wasn’t really able to nuance her character or the issues she portrays. The couple doesn’t work very well either. The male lead seems to be there mainly to support the film’s star, and there is clearly an imbalance.
-
13. Spring Fever
Korean Drama - 2026, 12 episodes
dropped -A small series, nothing special. Too banal for me to really get hooked. SML clearly had the potential to shine more, but she was poorly written.
-
14. Our Universe
Korean Drama - 2026, 12 episodes
on 7ep -The start was too strong for what is supposed to be a light romantic comedy—and then it dramatically falls off a cliff with the appearance of the second male lead and that whole arc. Still, I’ll watch until the end because there’s something quite likable about the couple, even if they still lack some strong acting qualities.
-
15. My Page in the 90s
Chinese Drama - 2026, 24 episodes
drop 4 There was nothing that could keep me invested in this project. It was clearly planned as a commercial move after the actor’s first success—the marketing idea was obviously to ride on his popularity in order to make this rather bland project work and strengthen his fanbase. But for me, it simply doesn’t work
-
16. Love Phobia
Korean Drama - 2026, 8 episodes
drop 2 Not very strong + not for me.
-
17. Positively Yours
Korean Drama - 2026, 12 episodes
drop 2 Oh dear… I was hoping for a light comedy to relax, but once again it’s a miss for me. Here they’re clearly following the current trend: the birth rate topic! But with faces as stiff as plastic and cardboard… Sorry, but this one will be without me.

18. Turbulent Love
Chinese Drama - 2026, 20 episodes
-
19. In Your Radiant Season
Korean Drama - 2026, 12 episodes
Dropped : In principle, I really like the actress, but here I didn’t like the actor at all. I couldn’t get past episode 1—I’m not sure why.
