Any modern drama recs from 2025? Took a long cdrama break but I’m getting back into it:) And since this isn’t finished I need another to watch while waiting for new episodes since I’m almost caught up hahah ty!
Conveniently on Netflix but I was SO SHOCKED at how sexual this is— I’ve never ever seen Chinese dramas that are mature rating. Is it bc this is technically Taiwanese and the censorship is different? Or bc it’s Netflix?? Seriously was not expecting the TV-MA content…
Looks interesting , and I like the leads despite the female’s refusal to film certain scenes. It’s just that I saw some clips and the dubbing looks terrible… is the whole thing dubbed..? I know most cdramas are to a degree but it’s really a let down if it’s too obvious:(
Honestly one of the better modern cdramas out there-- beautiful cast (very important to me lol), interesting storyline, no crazy evil antagonist, good pace in building of relationship... honestly just a really easy drama to binge. Finished in three days.
oh my goodness why did I watch this so late 😭 Love our main couple but I can't help feeling such affection for our high school leads 🩵 Their chemistry and the way they portrayed the sadness of their hurdles just added so much feeling to the story, I cried so much more in their scenes. The breakup mixed with misunderstanding, YunJiwon's POV of experiencing all her hardship with no one by her side, SeokJiwon's POV of contacting her and waiting to see her not knowing she was also waiting for him just HIT ME IN THE HEART oh my goodness. 😮💨 I wish they had another show together because we got so little bts or any interviews with them.
I know this is cliche and standard which I’m guessing is why it’s a 7.5 but honestly this is the kind of drama I always gravitate towards. A modern drama with a romance that grows and keeps me smiling like an idiot. No super intense conflicts or evil antagonists— just annoying ones lol. In a world of chaos and not having a moment to breathe, this is the perfect deep inhale of oxygen to give ourselves a nice relaxing break. I will say though, I’m picky and I have to like both male and female leads. I’m kind of surprised it’s been a year and I just came across this! That being said… any suggestions like this hahahah
I keep coming back to this because WOW. This was honestly the best costume Chinese drama I've watched-- and I've watched a LOT. Our main couple is obviously the cutest and my favorite, but I was really surprised how the drama itself was divided into episodes to give each sister their story. I was a bit upset to see less and less of my OTP but honestly the other couples really grew on me. Love their relationship off screen too, I literally cannot stop watching the little fan clips of them acting like a real couple. Too cute I cannot. May Netflix never get rid of this. 9/10!!
The change from 36 to 23 episodes has really hurt the series.
Omg no wonder it felt so rushed… did they film enough and they edited to reduce the episodes? Or did they know it would be shortened as they were filming??
LOL that medicinal introduction for ep 23... with all the censorship in China I would never have thought I would see the word "va*****" as a subtitle lmao
Truly a beautiful drama. Went into it expecting the butterflies I got from every episode of Hidden Love, but it's definitely more on the mature and heartwarming side. I think this is why it took a while for it to grow on me, but the last few episodes had me crying so hard. The idea of "unconditional love" was displayed so beautifully here, you can't help want something so innocent and limitless for yourself 🥲 All the characters were phenomenal, and I'm glad with the way the writers semi-closed each conflict.
And since this isn’t finished I need another to watch while waiting for new episodes since I’m almost caught up hahah ty!
