I started watching Kdramas during Covid (Hyun Bin 🫶🏽 ) and Cdramas in 2024. I’m pretty much hooked and completely besotted at this point with Hou Minghao and Wang Yibo.

The director really knew what he was doing. It's easily the best Cdrama I've watched even halfway through and I've seen a few.

Esther Yu’s voice and childish mannerisms are sometimes hard for me to sit through. But, I will get to his (Linghe) other dramas eventually.

9. I really liked Fairy and Devil -- it's what got me hooked on Cdramas. Dylan Wang did a great job

Yesterday

as "the Devil." (Not really a devil, just a lonely, misunderstood immortal.) It also introduced me to Zhang Linghe and Esther Yu.

Have you seen the modern "drama" Love is Sweet? It's really cute, but Bai Lu is good in every thing she's in. I like the Chinese dramas more than the Korean ones, I don't know why.

But, I plan to.

I think my first Cdrama was Story of Pearl Girl, then First Frost, and Princess Weiyung. Kill Me, Love Me hooked me completely. I’m now a Wuxia fangirl in my twilight years, lolol. Also loved Perfect Match, The Double, Who Rules the World, Love in the Clouds, and the Untamed.

For modern dramas, The Rational Life and Hidden Love are also good.
