I love watching Asian dramas and movies since covid pandemic 2020, joined MDL a little late.  I also prefer mini-dramas or short length Rom-Coms even if they don't have happy endings.

My favorite C- actors are Liu Xue Yi, Zhang Bin Bin, Jing Boran, Timmy Xu, Zhang Zhe Han, Miles Wei, Kido Gao, Vengo Gao, Simon Gong, Huang Jun Jie, Zhang Ling He, Xiao Zhan, Wang Xing Yue, Fan Zhi Xin and Li Xian.  Any of their dramas on My Watchlist with 7.9 -10 ratings I will recommend. My favorite Korean actors are Jang Ki Yong, Ji Chang Wook, Yoo Yeon Seok, Nam Joo Hyuk, Lee Min Ho, Lee Joon Gi, So Ji Sub, Seo Kang Joon and Park Seo Joon. Any of their dramas and movies I will recommend highly. Again, with an 8 to 10 ratings only. My favorite genres are Rom-Com (sometimes, period /historical) Fantasy, Youth, Mystery Thriller type of dramas.  Korean actresses I admire are Son Ye-Jin, Han Hyo-Joo, Park MinYoung, Nana (Im Jin Ah), Moon Chae Won and Kim Tae Ri. Chinese actresses are Elaine Zhong, Zhang Yuxi, Yang Zi, Zhou Ye, Zhao Jin Mai and Crystal Liu.

My Ratings:

9.1-10 will be highly recommended because of the story arc of drama, will definitely rewatch it because of soundtracks, main leads and with less than 30 to 36 episodes.

8-9 awesomely good story with good pacing, actors are great with their character development, mainly believable, did not fast forward any of the episodes even up to 40 episodes and will definitely rewatch.

7.0-7.9 not interesting enough swoon worthy dramas with too much fluffiness; frustrating because of story lines; plot sometimes twistedly boring but you just had to finish it, had to skip and fast forwarded some eps., curiosity of what the ending is. Definitely will not watch it again too many episodes to watch.
