I want to watch more cdramas

Jan 11, 2024 12:03 pm

Can someone please recommend me some good Chinese dramas? I want to watch more but I don’t really know where to start. I have watched and enjoyed The Untamed and The Romance of Tiger and Rose. I’ve also watched Word of Honor but I ended up not being that big a fan of it in the end because it just became kind of uninteresting to me. I’m a big fan of stories where characters have to hide their identities and I also like stories with time travel/traveling into other worlds. Sorry if this isn’t descriptive enough to give good recommendations but I’d appreciate just any recommendations thank you :)

Hmm, when it comes to Chinese dramas I usually watch costume dramas (with some exceptions) so I'll recommend some (more popular/loved) that you may like.

Love and Redemption (ML hides his identity)

Mysterious Lotus Casebook (ML hides his identity. This one is really good!)

Love in Between (ML hides his identity)

Nirvana in Fire (ML hides his identity. This one is a classic, definitely one of the best. First few episodes may be confusing but if you push through it you'll probably end up loving it)

Till The End of The Moon (FL hides her identity and ML has 'different' identitites)

Love Like The Galaxy (ML hides his real identity. This one is more serious (not fantasy) but it's really good)

I would also recommend these two, I enjoyed watching them a lot:

Love Between Fairy and Devil

The Long Ballad

Hidden identities:

traveling to other (fictional) worlds:

time travel:

And a couple personal favorites:

I'd also recommend looking at the top shows on here (explore at the top and filter it to cdramas) as it's a good place to start if you haven't seen very many yet. :)

LotusRayne:
Joy of Life
Nirvana in Fire
Sword Snow Stride
Young Blood
Longest Day in Chang'an
Story of Yanxi Palace
Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty
I Am Nobody
Side Story of Fox Volant
Heroes (2022)
Guardian
^ IMO some of the most interesting c-dramas of recent years. Mostly wuxia/ historicals as those seem to be the ones I enjoyed the most (and often involve hidden identities...not much romance in here as it's not exactly my favourite genre but I'm sure someone better than me will pop by, be friendly and suggest a few).
Can't think of many time travel/traveling to other worlds dramas from China (not much sci-fi, unfortunately) but off the top of my head -
Reset
Die Now
Derailment...ish
Three-Body Problem
The Heart of Genius

Thank you :)
