    very dark and goth atmosphere with gorgeous costumes and cinematography, the cast is top notch and the story is very thrilling

  • The Untamed

    3. The Untamed

    Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes

    9.5

    gay adaptation turned bromance but everyone including the actors knows it is gay and treating it this way lmao
    this is legendary, it basically broke China with its fame and spread internationally and thanks to it we have all the english translations and books and other dramas
    beware: it is low budget but they made do with what they had out of love for the source material and it's one of the best book to drama adaptations I've seen
    fantasy but no gods, just sects and cultivators, Sherlock meets Supernatural, transmigration of the main lead, do-over, flashback narrative, soulmates, dads have a son

  • Love Between Fairy and Devil

    4. Love Between Fairy and Devil

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes

    9.5

    at first the female lead looks annoying and the story silly but then it turns reaaaally good
    acting here is amazing from everyone, great cast and same actress as in MJTY
    high fantasy drama with gods and demons and epic costumes and sets

  • A League of Nobleman

    5. A League of Nobleman

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 29 episodes

    10

    bromance detective drama adapted from a book that for a long time everyone thought it was BL but author claims it isn't but the drama is shot anyway as if it was haha
    really good production, script and story, chemistry great and plot too
    sherlock type of story with handsome actors all around

  • Word of Honor

    6. Word of Honor

    Chinese Drama - 2021, 36 episodes

    9.0

    same as Untamed - bromance adaptation of a gay novel
    this one is less faithful to the source material and the story suffers for it but the male leads compensate for it more than enough and their insane chemistry
    again beware: very low budget and this one had even less money than Untamed to make do but they managed and worked hard to make the best of it
    no fantasy or cultivators, just fight scenes and spies and some low magic stuff, soulmates, fateful meeting, dads have a son and daughter

  • Love and Redemption

    7. Love and Redemption

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 59 episodes

    8.5

    same actor s Lotus Casebook, demons and gods, fantasy and epic sets
    around first 4 episodes it's a bit silly and the FL is annoying but then the plot turns really good and she is basically saving his boy all the time from being hurt and without spoilers she is the man in this couple lol

  • The Yin Yang Master

    8. The Yin Yang Master

    Chinese Movie - 2021

    9.0

    no to be confused with a movie with the same name and source material
    the source material is a japanese novel series Onmyoji which China made a mobile game for and this is the adaptation of the game I believe
    this movie is a typical cinematic fantasy with magic and creatures and the lead actor is beyond gorgeous

  • Heroes

    9. Heroes

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 38 episodes

    9.0

    bromance but leaning on the bro part a bit more and including the girl in the group lol
    the story is very dramatic but amazing and acting is also superb
    lots of my favorite actors and chemistry
    fight scenes and epic sets but not fantasy

  • Begin Again

    10. Begin Again

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 35 episodes

    9.0

    with one of the actors from WoH
    modern romantic drama with unexpectedly great story and acting and chemistry between the leads and the child actor

  • The Princess Royal

    11. The Princess Royal

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 40 episodes

    8.5

    palace drama from this year with my favorite actor (main from MJTY) Zhang Linghe
    transmigration, fixing the past, do-over, revenge and romance, female is strong and not annoying and casting is good

  • Story of Kunning Palace

    12. Story of Kunning Palace

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 38 episodes

    8.5

    again Zhang Linghe drama (MJTY), palace drama, transmigration, do-over, plot twists and a bit of intense male lead, not annoying strong female lead

  • Secret of Three Kingdoms

    13. Secret of Three Kingdoms

    Chinese Drama - 2018, 54 episodes

    8.0

    palace drama, inspired by real history events, good plot and script, great acting and cast

  • Guardian

    14. Guardian

    Chinese Drama - 2018, 40 episodes

    9.0

    gay novel adaptation, one of the first after the start of censorship and I'm putting it on the list only because it paved the way so Untamed could run
    this one is a mess honestly and around the end of production they even lost all the budget and had to finance it out of their own pockets
    but all the mess is compensated by the main leads who are incredible together and now became huge stars in the industry
    This drama was the first one to get extremely popular that it was taken down from platforms for a while
    if nothing else it deserves a try
    modern fantasy with gods, supernatural police and some ghosts but not really scary

  • Chongqing Hot Pot

    15. Chongqing Hot Pot

    Chinese Movie - 2016

    9.5

    this is a odd one on the list, a movie with the actor from YYM, modern drama comedy movie situated in Chongqing, I like the plot and atmosphere of the city and the native dialect along with the great cast and bromance chemistry
