Why not a C drama?

1. Half of Us
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
One of my VERY favorite dramas... one of the few ones where all the characters are flawed with damage, where there isnt a clear cut good guy and villain. Each episode you are so conflicted. Who should you be rooting for and hating is so fluid and the writing is so good. Did I mention you have TWO female leads who are kick ass assassins,? AND two (or more) Male leads who are as equally as kick ass?

2. The Moment of Meeting Again
Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes
Recommended by Regina. I was hesitant to watch at first because I like "high school" dramas as much as going to the dentist ... but dang did this change my mind... a time slip where the FL decides to do better this time. I did not care for the FL the first episode but she grew on me and her brashness started to make sense. A fun sweet unique series that is equal parts laugh and heartache

3. The Evil Face
Chinese Drama - 2022, 18 episodes
I think it is 8 short episodes that flew by. The ML and FL have some good chemistry and even the 2ml (although not "chemistry" per say ... he had such a great presence as the good bad guy... I couldnt take my eyes off of him in every scene he was in. Yes, yes you must suspend belief for the "face swapping" portion of the story ... but otherwis... great drama

4. Love Scenery
Chinese Drama - 2021, 31 episodes
Maybe its because I am a tiny bit of a gaming nerd... and I saw myself in every "girl gamer just there for the loot" joke/ scene... or maybe it was because it was a sweet Noona romance where they perfectly balanced how difficult it is to be both the older and the younger in this relationship.... but never would I admit it is the heart melting adams apple scene! These two leads have good chemistry and the silly online gaming personas might be too cheesy for those not familiar with the genre... but those scenes are where they shine... irl her character is paper thin and feels lacking. They throw in a 2ml just to ensure that you are frustrated with the FL... but I enjoyed it ... especially the last episode... so very satisfying

5. Hidden Love
Chinese Drama - 2023, 25 episodes
An amazing journey watching her grow into the woman who loved (my favorite trope) the green flag, but damaged ML. Every single scene is both heart warming and heart breaking. Bonus... the relationship between siblings and the friendship between her brother and her love interest is perfection.

6. Kai Duan
Chinese Drama - 2022, 15 episodes
Groundhog day meets Speed ... dont discount this drama too quickly... getting to know these characters in reverse with just snippets of their story... and trying to observe clues to the actions/ motivations before the bus is smitherines and they have to start all over again... it was a thrilling drama ... I loved it.

7. Unforgettable Love
Chinese Drama - 2021, 24 episodes
This drama will not win any awards, but if you are looking for a cute kid in a contract marriage ... with a ML who as RP puts it... makes a good 2ml ... this one is a good one to mindlessly put on to fill the time. warning every single trope is present and then some
