Started watching c-dramas out of curiosity and now I'm now full blown addict.
I'm not big on classic romance dramas, I like role reversal dramas and bromance dramas. Also historical, sci-fi, love wuxia... but yeah, romance must be amazing to grip me otherwise I get bored in 5 minutes.
Everything that I rate 8.0 and above, I consider really good, at that point I just compare with other dramas I love and how they gripped me. 9.5 is stellar, my highest praise. I've never given 10/10. 6.5-7.5 is mediocre, just good or bad mediocre, sometimes it's just not for me. Everything below 6.0 is uh... bad.
I don't participate in cultish behavior about actors. I'm not gonna watch anything just because someone I like is in it, and I will criticize it if needed.
With that being said some of my favorite actors are: Yang Yang, Gong Jun, Dilraba, Zhu Lilan, Tian Xiwei, Zhang Chinxeng, Ding Yuxi, Chen Feiyu, Fang Yilun, Chen Duling, Dai Luwa and Li Qin
So far my TOP 3 drama for 2026 are:
Zhan Zhao Advetures
