my favourite dramas of 2021 (so far)
I know 2021 isn't over yet but I thought I would create a list of my favourite dramas so far. I might change or add to this as we go on because we still have a few months and a few highly anticipated dramas to go.
You will notice that my listing order isn't always the same as the highest to lowest marked. This list isn't what I thought was best with acting, SFX, etc. It's simply which I enjoyed most.
-
1. You Are My Glory
Chinese Drama - 2021, 32 episodes
Far and away the best so far this year in my opinion..........but we shall see what is still to come.
-
2. Falling into Your Smile
Chinese Drama - 2021, 31 episodes
Not rated highest but still placed higher than others for its sheer fun factor.
-
3. Stand by Me
Chinese Drama - 2021, 49 episodes
A great show and love the ML's abilty to show the multi faceted sides to the characters personality..........still it did fall into some of the cliche's by the end.
-
4. One and Only
Chinese Drama - 2021, 24 episodes
The chemistry between the leads was electric. Angst, romance, action.........it has it all.
-
5. Jun Jiu Ling
Chinese Drama - 2021, 40 episodes
Loved the show mostly........although the time it took for the truth to come out did start to get on my nerves after a while.
-
6. Word of Honor
Chinese Drama - 2021, 36 episodes
I am sure I am in the minority putting this show so low down. It was a great show all in all. It is just that other shows appealed to me more this year personally.
-
7. The Long Ballad
Chinese Drama - 2021, 49 episodes
This show didn't fall into any of the cliché's, although it got close at times. So many stories are about revenge and this generation getting revenge for something the last generation did. This series is more about discovery and forgiveness. The leads are fantastic, and normally it would have been much higher on my list but it seems to be a good year for drama's this year.
-
8. Forever and Ever
Chinese Drama - 2021, 30 episodes
You will notice even though the first and second part of the Allen Ren/Bai Lu series are on my list they are far apart. This is because the first part had a chemistry, action and movement that I felt the second part lacked.
-
9. Douluo Continent
Chinese Drama - 2021, 40 episodes
Enjoyed the beginning and end.........fell a bit flat in the middle
-
10. A Female Student Arrives at the Imperial College
Chinese Drama - 2021, 30 episodes
A bit of fun and a laugh........just what you need sometimes.
