Modern dramas
Costume dramas
For costume dramas, I love complex plots, political power plays, and leads with undeniable chemistry. If a drama has clever schemes, unexpected twists, and a couple I can't stop rooting for, it's probably on this list.
Honestly didn't expect Zhou Yiran to be so good at acting as an obsessed red flag male lead. He was so down bad and would risk everything for her 😍 Their chemistry is so hot 🔥 The outfit, hairstyles, setting and aesthetics are so pretty.
Generation to Generation
A marquis gets married into a pig butcher's family and his wife can kill a man twice bigger than her with just 2 strikes. If you like a strong female lead, you should definitely watch this.
Pursuit of Jade
Do I even have to say anything about this? It's literally the best enemies-to-lovers drama I've watched.
The Prisoner of Beauty
An amazing fantasy romance drama with eye-catching visuals, gripping plot twists and intense chemistry. If you didn't watch it, you are missing out.
Love in the Clouds
I loved the politics in this drama and the main lead chemistry is literally fire 🔥
Blossom (2024)
If you love mystery, action, politics and subtle bromance, this drama is for you.
The Untamed
The female lead transmigrates into a novel where her character is a villainess. If you love rom-com, grumpy sunshine trope, watch this immediately.
Love Game in Eastern Fantasy
These types of dramas with political power play have always been my favourite. It's intriguing from start to end.
Legend of Zang Hai (2025)
The story is gripping and kept me on edge. Totally loved it 😍 Didn't expect it to be so good.
Melody of Golden Age
Modern dramas
I have a soft spot for cute love stories and college romances. I love watching characters fall in love naturally, support each other, and give me butterflies without all the unnecessary drama. These are my comfort-watch favorites.
One of the best romance dramas out there. Cute and comforting aesthetics with stunning visuals.
The Best Thing
A cute romantic drama that you can never get bored of. If you love watching mature relationships and cute friendships, watch it asap.
Love O2O
A cute love story with a brother's best friend trope. If you like soft and cute aesthetics, give this a try.
Hidden Love
A soft, fluffy and heartwarming, coming of age school drama. A must watch drama.
When I Fly Towards You
This drama is adapted from the novel written by the zhu yi(author of hidden love and wifty). Set in the same university as hidden love.
The First Frost
One of the best e-sports dramas ever. The main leads chemistry is awesome and the team friendship is refreshing. I wished I had such a friends group.
