Chinese Dramas 2024 Wrap Up!

Hi everybody! 

Since the end of 2024 is approaching, I thought of making a little wrap up/best of/worst of for the Chinese Dramas that came out this year to share with other users, also to get watching ideas and exchange opinions ^^

Very simple rules！

★Use the categories and entries below (feel free to suggest more categories if you feel something is lacking)

★If the number of dramas allowed is not enough you can cheat by adding "honorable mentions" lol. You can list less dramas than allowed though.

★Dramas should have finished airing in 2024 (it`s ok if they started in 2023) and should be produced in China (mainland, including Hong Kong)

★You should have finished watching the dramas you add (except for the "Top 3 Disappointment of the Year" category)
