5. Arsenal Military Academy
Chinese Drama - 2019, 48 episodes
DB rating: 6.7
I love the academy set-up, I love the side characters, especially Manting she's such a babe. I would low-key also be fine if her and the ML ended up together lol. I enjoy the overall plot and adore the ML. I like how strong the FL is but I struggle to relate to her at times, but she's a great character. The romance is cute and the flirtations memorable. I never though I'd enjoy this type of drama where it's got quite a strong patriotic/political undertone but here we are.

Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
DB rating: 7.5
THE CHEMI-...COMEDY
So light-hearted and funny, made me a fan of the ML and FL
there were so many wonderfully funny and romantic moments and I enjoyed the overall plot
-
8. Ashes of Love
Chinese Drama - 2018, 63 episodes
DB rating: 7.7
It was super entertaining but I wasn't overly attached to the leads (although deng lun is a babe) which brings my rating down. the FL was too much for me at times as I didn't always love the decisions she made, but the world/fantasy aspect I loved and the subplots.. not so much, hated the SL. despite this there were thoroughly enjoyable romance, revelation and action scenes
not a masterpiece, but a whole lot of fun at parts

9. Love Is Sweet
Chinese Drama - 2020, 36 episodes
DB rating: 7.3
This pairing had so many heart-fluttering moments
The chemistry *sigh*
clearly we weren't actually supposed to care about the office plot, so this rating is based off of 100% the romance.
I wasn't keen on the secondary couple or the SL either. I skipped all the scenes relating to his drama.

10. The Legends
Chinese Drama - 2019, 56 episodes
DB rating: 6.2
A whole lot of fantasy fun. I love Moqing :') I kind of wish they'd shown us more of their interactions when he was a dark guard though. Lu Yaozhan is great as well. I like a strong female lead. I really enjoyed how the romance developed and how she disguised herself and tried to trick Moqing. The actors have undeniable chemistry so honestly I could just watch them staring at each other for hours. We love a power couple.
Overall, I could care less about the villains but I do enjoy the romance and I like the side characters for the most part. I like the set up of this drama, but it does have a lot of unspent potential.

11. Dance of the Sky Empire
Chinese Drama - 2020, 28 episodes
DB Rating: 6.2
There were some wonderfully epic moments in this drama and a lot of great romantic scenes. Also the soundtrack *chefs kiss* it was so addicting and cheesy and great.
It's hard to judge it though because it was a lot shorter than the romantic dramas I have watched before so they almost trying to condense a lot into 28 episodes.
I loved the ML and I found his storyline addicting, equally I liked the FL and felt her actions weren't ridiculous and I felt they were realistic. There were some great dramatic moments involving the leads discovery of his powers/who he is and although they weren't fully fleshed out if you accept the drama for what it is it can be overlooked lol. Besides the under-development of those aspects, he was a likeable character and I weirdly rooted for both sides throughout.
If you don't expect a lot from this drama and go in just looking for those great cheesy fantasy moments (done right) you will thoroughly enjoy it. The only thing I would say is that the whole academy training concept felt a bit rushed and I didn't really care about most of the side characters, a lot of the plot in the academy just felt like a set up for the leads. However, they did this right because the first half of the drama was a very addictive forbidden romance/guy falls first romance. I did skip a lot but beside that... I couldn't stop watching this drama once I started.

13. I've Fallen for You
Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
DB Rating: 6.9
ugh the main couple were just so cute and I adored the ML
however ngl I couldn't have cared less for the plot/crime solving lmao, but the romance, comedy and action kept me intrigued
-
14. A Love So Beautiful
Chinese Drama - 2017, 23 episodes
the secondary couple i adored and there were some nice messages sprinkled throughout that kept me entertained... hence the rating
but I think this drama is just not where I'm at in my life rn, so I found a lot of their actions quite juvenile and annoying/got annoyed by the lack of communication and maturity. never bought the main couple and didn't really like the leads respectively or as a unit
