Best Chinese Dramas
These are in no particular order. Remember, what may be a ten for me , may be a 7 for you but I can say that ALL of these I dramas I enjoyed or "ended up" enjoying despite cliche's or frustrating plot devices. If you find this list, you'll be sure to find a worthy Cdrama here.

1. Love Is Deep
Chinese Drama - 2019, 40 episodes
Ning Weijin is a handsome young Dr./Surgeon and sweet, pure Ding Ding has breast/chest aches and pains lol. Perfect!
I've been around Asian dramas long enough to know not to judge one by ratings. Am I ever glad, that on a boring Sunday long ago, I decided to give this one a spin. You do it too, and sail through a few hours with some cute, sugary cringes and romance. The leads are adorable. And all the supporting cast is great. A few groans here and there but no teeth nashing if you're drama savvy. @ 40 episodes there's some drag but just FF. I'm not sure it's binge worthy for the average viewer (but I binged). It's packed with all the clichés, but it's balanced with charm and is worth finishing. I dug this out at Dramacool and I'm about to watch again for the 3rd time (in years of course :)

2. Sealed with a Kiss
Chinese Drama - 2011, 28 episodes

3. Boss & Me
Chinese Drama - 2014, 34 episodes
I adore this drama. Will probably buy it on Amazon. SWEETEST DRAMA EVER. Watched 20-25 times. 1st watch 2014 - still watching 2020.
The Chemistry between the lead couple is just super. Humour, charm and romance!
- Female lead -Zanillia Zhaos' (AKA-Zhao Liying) character growth is key and fun to watch. She's young here and will capture your heart instantly. I've never seen her in any other endearing roll like this one. She doesn't seem to favor them but she knocks it out of the park. (of course).
- Panda blood(rare) comes in handy for my cute beautiful back-country bumpkin girl and she lands a coveted internship in the accounting dept. of one of the countries most prestigious company because of it. She hops a train to the big city and the adventure begins! Shan-Shan JIAYOU!!
- Main lead-Hans Zhang's charisma off the hook.
- Video quality is really old. Watch on Dramacool

4. One Smile Is Very Alluring
Chinese Movie - 2016
LOVE O2O
This is an all round feel good college drama that peaked my interested in gaming. It's VERY popular and I suppose a must watch for Cdrama lovers, especially the very youthful and those new to drama land. I personally found the female lead a little stiff where the romance is concerned but she's so young, it's totally forgivable and doesn't take away anything at all from the great storyline.(she great where it matters) The male lead is super hot and packed with charisma. This drama has everything going for it from start to finish. It's fun, the characters are engaging (you'll definitely choose a fave(s), It will hook you right away and at no time did I feel bored. note: There's BL here as well.

5. Three Lives, Three Worlds, The Pillow Book
Chinese Movie - 0000

6. Love Is Sweet
Chinese Drama - 2020, 36 episodes
Okay, I couldn't find this drama anywhere after I got a small taste of it on YT! Would you believe I ended up opening an account with IQIYI for 3 months in order to watch it? Ya, I did that. Was it worth it? Well, I satisfied my need to know and finished it. So glean what you will lol.
I've recently decided I liked Leo Luos' acting style and look and come-up, so to be fair, I'm biased right now. Nevertheless, for anyone who sees this and want to know if they should watch, I will say YES, please do go ahead, there's not much to disappoint in this pretty to look at modern romance. It has all the clichés you know and love and the cast and story is vibrant enough to keep you entertained.
- Childhood friends (with all the dual personal angst and familiarity(s) that contains) meet up again in adulthood for business "adventures" thus the story and eventual romance unfolds with all the usual sidekicks (second leads etc.) and hindrances.
With my new VIP IQIYI account, I'm enjoying other Cdramas, I don't see elsewhere. Whether, I keep it or not is yet to be determined. Enjoy this one!
