Nice article! It's probably going to inspire people to try c-dramas! :) I have watched them for a few years already and my first ones were Sound of the Desert (I was amazed by how beautiful everything in that drama was - there's nothing like Chinese historicals!), Nirvana in Fire and The Disguiser. I watched the first one because of a recommendation and the other two because Hu Ge is in all three of them. :p I loved my first c-dramas, and since then I have watched many more good ones and also many that I didn't like. (For example, I'm very picky about xian xia and only rarely like them.)

I love c-dramas because they often have some heartwarming quality (it's a bit hard to put my finger on what it is exactly) that makes me want to live in the world of the drama and be friends with the characters. I generally prefer slice of life dramas with characters close to my own age (so, "older" characters) and well-made historical dramas. But I like the same kind of dramas regardless of country, so my advice for beginners is to find something that seems similar to your taste.

I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for reading and commenting.

This is great! You really nailed it with these eating metaphors. :)

Good work! I haven't seen any of the dramas you mention but I recognise the types very well from many other dramas. :)

Yeah, it happens often with lists...

Fun idea for a list! :) But I have only one favourite Kim and he's not in it (Kim Myung Min!). Instead there are many people with names other than Kim.

Anyone can write an article if they want to. It doesn't matter who they are.

As a cat lover, I thank you for this. :)

I'm lucky; habits 1, 3 and 4 are already a part of my life. :)

Yes, she said she found some interesting suggestions. :)

I haven't watched any of these movies, but I have a friend who loves horror so I gave her a link to your list. (First step to watching Asian dramas...?) Thanks! :)

It's sooo good! For me, it took a few episodes to get into it, but I just completed it, and I can¨t wait for S2! I love every character, how they support and take care of each other and have so much fun together. It's definitely worth watching! If you should wait or not, that's another question.

So... only 5 episodes in, but I LOVE IT already. Gu Jia is some kind of awesome superwoman, and Ni Ni needs to be friends with her. :)

Thank you! I think this will be a good drama. :)

Yeah, I read about it on FB. There wasn't any information on this page before, so I could only try to guess based on the picture. A novel adaptation sounds very promising! :)

This was a fun and interesting article. I haven't watched most of these dramas (I loved Mr Sunshine and disliked Goblin), but now I'm interested in Cruel City. :)

By the way, I strongly recommend this drama. It's very good!

Look who the leading lady is!! Too bad we'll have to wait a long time for this. After Qin Lan's recent drama We Are All Alone, I always kind of wonder what's the story behind a drama... :)

Yes, FL remains strong until the end! She's amazing. <3

This is a sad story for some characters (even tragic!) but a happy one for others. The FL and ML end up together and they are very happy.
