Lost You Forever is that drama! It gave me all the tropes I love in one drama and ruined my sleep. I had to read the whole book and it is so good. Can’t wait for season 2. The last time a drama came this close was Empress ki. It gave me 

  • Gender bender  
  • historical drama
  • Strong female lead 
  • love triangle 
  • affectionate couple
  •  kissing scenes 
  • possessive male lead 
  • Jealous male lead.     
    Looking for drama recommendations that can give me 6/8 and I will be happy.

I'm looking for recommendations that have even a hint of a character similar to Xiang Liu, but the odds are there aren't any because he is unreplaceable :(

If you have any ideas, help a sister out, please! :D

I've not seen anything quite like it, but these have some elements:

  • Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (historical/fantasy, court politics, a bunch of MLs all in love with the FL including a very anti-hero ML like Xiang Liu)
  • The Journey of Flower (historical/fantasy, several love interests for the FL including a character a lot like Xiang Liu)
  • Colourful Bone (historical, similar vibes, FL can change faces - of others instead of herself, love triangle, court intrigue, one of the love interests is introduced as a badly injured man the FL cares for who then is devoted to her, the other ML is a prince who has been in love with her since childhood like Cang Xuan)
  • Bloody Romance (historical, interesting world building, strong FL with a lot of growth and an interesting journey)
  • Love Better Than Immortality (historical, love triangle between an upright hero ML sort of like Cang Xuan, and a villain/anti-hero possessive ML the FL is drawn too (she ends up with the second one!), great chemistry)
  • Love Between Fairy and Devil  (historical/fantasy, anti-hero ML, good kisses and chemistry, some gender bender - leads body swap at times)
  • Ashes of Love (same actress as the FL, both are historical/fantasy, similar emotions/feelings, love triangle)
  • Twisted Fate of Love (historical, strong and powerful FL, good chemistry, anti-hero ML, love triangle)

Ahh yes, this one uuuu ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ

I have a friend who told me not to watch it because she knows the ending will devastate me. But so many people have said that the ML is very much like my boy Xiang Liu. Oh Lord, what should I do? *sobs*

You've got my attention.

This is my favorite drama ever. I need to watch at least one episode every two weeks or so because I'll have withdrawal symptoms if I don't LOL

Oh good. A wise, sensible FL! Hahahah My anti-hero boys getting the girl is all I ask for :D

Twisted Fate of Love (historical, strong and powerful FL, good chemistry, anti-hero ML, love triangle)

TJC is also on this one, so it's already going straight to my watchlist <3

I love AOL, but I promised myself I'd never watch a drama with a character like Jinmi ever again. She almost made me drop it altogether bahahahahaha


Thank you for taking the time to put together all of these recommendations <3 

Much appreciated! Have a great weekend!
