    Female chef and bodyguard husband. One of very few ancient-setting dramas I've liked. Relationship is mature and supportive, relationship includes meeting, dating, and marriage. And the shots of the food are *incredible*.

    eSports. FL is computer scientist / online vocalist, ML is eSports captain. This one grew on me... first viewing he seemed too controlling & weird, and flashbacks annoying. But second pass I noticed her capabilities more and his vulnerabilities became more understandable. I go back to this one often.

    Chefs. Amazing FL -- one of the strongest I've seen in any Chinese drama. Great chemistry between main couple. ML+FL each independently two of my favourite actors. 

    This would have been my favourite drama, except that it jumped the shark around episode 19 [last scene to watch has bowls of apple-peel flowers].

    16. Love O2O

    Chinese Drama - 2016, 30 episodes

    8.0

    University students and online game world. Great story, good acting. FL unfortunately watered down in latter half.
