Hi everyone , I'm searching my next drama to watch and I hope you can help me .

I usually watch K-drama but recently I discover C-drama. I found a c-drama call "Fighter of destiny" . There were everything I love : magical powers, mystery , fighting battles . After that I discover two more C-drama that make me fall in love with this type of historical magical drama (I know there are a name for that) : The untamed and Word of Honor .

Word of Honor was just amazing ! Hidden identity, suspence, combat, power and i read articles that explain a lot of details which make the writing and filmaking more incredible . I hope I could find something similare , but I'm just affraid to start something with too cheesy love . I don't want (too much)love story, I want fight and mystery .

I start the "legend of fei", there were things I love like hidden identity, a joyful guy full of mystery . But I don't know , I could'nt finish it .

I spoke a lot about C-drama , but "Alchemy of soul" was amazing , it give me some vibes of "the untamed". Again hidden identity, fighting and magical stuff. But I also love the rythmes between serious scene and funny scene.

Speaking of funny, I really love "Mr Queen" ! Not so magical but it was hilarous and also there were some serious thing, like the king faking to be an idiot to make a revolution . As you can see I love when people hide something .  

As I said before , I watch a lot of K-drama, so I thing I watch all the good fantastical one (hotel del luna, while you were sleeping, tunnel, signal and much more).

But If you have fantastical C-drama, even if it's not with traditional costume, like maybe in our time and fighting ghost or spirits, I'm taking it ! Just please no too cheesy love stories, I know there almost always love story and if it write well , it's ok , I just don't want to have something focus only on love .


I hope you will be able to help me and have a nice day :)

 

I think I know what kind of dramas you are looking for. More fantasy, imaginative, engaging, original, adventurous, magic, fights/battles, etc.

You could try some of the xianxias dramas like:

Love Between Fairy and Devil
Ashes of Love
Eternal Love
Eternal Love of Dream


Then they are cute fluffy funny romantic kdramas:

I'm Not a Robot
Strong Woman Do Bong Soon


I really liked these cdramas, that have magic and fantasy and fights elements:

Ever Night
Ever Night Season 2

Oh thank you . 

For the first list of C-drama there are all on my list to watch , I just was affraid of the love story .I don't want a drama that is just about love (and they all have love in the title xD) but thank you I will definitly watch them .

Which one do you think I should start ? Something without too cheesy love story but with a good story plot ? 

For the Korean drama. I already watch them both . I really enjoy "I'm not a robot" even if there were a love story, it was indeed really funny and original .

The last two C-drama, I don't know there name so I will put them on my list.

Thank you to taking time to answer me :)

Well if you up for long ep, Eternal love can be a good choice. But if you not prepare for the long ep you can start with Love between fairy & devil.

Another one you can try is:

A Dream of Splendor

General's Lady

Love Like the Galaxy

Maiden Holmes

Oh My General

The Imperial Coroner

The Legendary Life of Queen Lau

New Life Begins

Wow so much choice thank you both .

If you don't like too much romance, then check out

Arthdal Chronicles Part 1: The Children of Prophecy     (and the other parts, 2 and 3)

Goblin    (it has romance, but it's not some silly stuff)

Fights Break Sphere    (no romance, just lots of magical fights and stuff)

Who Rules the World    has romance, but lots of fighting and some magic.

The Legends    (it's a xianxia almost, but without deities I would say, but has fights, magic, resurrection, demon clan, etc. There is romance, but it's in the back seat)


Almost every drama of this nature has some kind of romance, some a lot some just slight.

Also check out Legend of Fu Yao    , it's really good.

Princess Agents    is also awesome, no romance I would say, but very heavy on fighting.

Wow thank you so much ! 

I think I will start with "Who rules the world"  , it's seems to be really interresting . But there also a lot of other name you gave me that I put on my list .  So really thank you :)

Thank you ,to take time to explain everything .  I will check all of that and yeah I would be super happy to find something like the untamed and word of honor , so thank you so much ! 

You have got nice recommendations, i watched a lot of these dramas so i just wanna add some chinese historical fantasy: Immortal Samsara, Novoland: Castle in the sky 1 a 2 (can be watched separately), Ice fantasy, Romance of tiger and rose, Love and redemption, Destiny of white snake, Once upon a time in Lingjian mountain and Go, princess, go!

Then not historical but still fantasy: Unexpected, Leap day (Hong Kong drama, unexpected gem for me)

And if you can watch Thai dramas, don't forget to watch Triage, Great Men Academy, Love destiny and Switch On.

I can also recommend you some great dramas which are not fantasy, write me if you are interested or if you have some questions.

A problem with Joy of Life is that it ends on a major cliffhanger and was intended to continue. It's been four years - the drama was very popular, perhaps covid got in the way.  Same with My Heroic Husband, although there wasn't as much of a cliffhanger as the lead-up to a new story featuring the main characters.
