I find it interesting that Hidden Love is ahead of First Frost. Both are based on books by Zhu Yi. Zhao Lu Si is fantastic and I would agree has a more charisma and stronger screen presence than Zhang Ruo Nan. But then Bai Jing Ting has way more charisma and screen presence than Chen Zhe Yuan. I think it comes down to the stronger story. Hidden Love is really cute and sweet and hits the feels very well. First Frost is a better story. There's more character depth, intensity and more at stake for the couple which ramps up the chemistry between the Leads.

I'm waiting for all episodes to drop. Then it's next!

In the settings I encouraged adding to the list because I wanted to see what other people recommended so I can check out more titles. :-)_

Hmm. Possible. The show is highly recommended by my friends.

The first episode was soooo good!

I haven't watched it yet. I don't know. Someone added it. 🙂

It's on Netflix!! 😁

I put Hidden Love in my "Comfort Shows" list. I've re-watched it several times now. So far I have liked all the shows based on Zhu Yi books though Hidden Love and First Frost are the best. More to come though.

I'm now up to 6 of the original listed dramas. You Are My Glory unexpectedly skyrocketed to #1 for me. I was not prepared for the jump in maturity and quality of Yang Yang's performance. Great work. A lot of nuanced acting to give the character more depth than I've seen in his earlier work. I am convinced now that high caliber actors working together influence the quality of the romance chemistry between the two leads.

So far I've only watched 5 of these dramas. I find it strange that A Dream Within a Dream was not on this list as I thought the Chemistry between Li Yuning and Li Yutong was stronger than The Prisoner of Beauty. I also thing both of Li Yuning's shows have better chemistry than at least one of Ryan Cheng's two on this list. Also strangely missing is First Frost with Zhang Ruo Nan and Bai Jing Ting which has very high Chemistry between the two leads. Shadow Love was really awful. It's very over rated. As is Falling into Your Smile which was just a meh show (in my opinion).

I just watched The Ghost Bride which was pretty good. Not pure horror, but it has ghosts some are creepy and spends time in The Netherworld as part of its plot. I really enjoyed it. high Fun factor rather than Scare though.
