RIP the Xu aide who had to report back on the contents of Commander Tan's press conference.

The absolute fear in that poor man's eyes.

I'd mistakenly caused the First Princess, Shen Zhiyi, to fall in love with me.

Hii, hope you're doing well!! I've been meaning to check out more c-dramas. I've never really watched any, but I keep seeing them on my dash and want to start giving some a shot since I watch every other type of drama (BL or otherwise lol). I saw you post often about c-dramas, so I wanted to ask if you had any other recs besides Tender Light (which I'm planning on watching when it's done)? I'm more curious about c-dramas in general rather than any specific genre, since I'm so new to them

Hello, thank you for the ask! I'm glad my obsessive Tender Light posting has got you curious about cdramas. Some of my all time favorite dramas are from Mainland China, and I would be happy to share some recs! Since you are looking for a general sense, I am just going to give you a sampling of some of my personal favs.

Tender Light

Obviously I will be taking this opportunity to talk up this drama some more, which will be ending its run this weekend. This is, hands down, my favorite drama of the year and easily going on my top 10 dramas of all time list. It's one of the most gorgeous and precise and unflinching pieces of media I have ever seen. This is definitely one for people who love smart mystery writing, dark themes (I mean this for real, if you have a lot of triggers ask for CWs), and explorations of the human condition. It will be staying with me for a long time.

Go Ahead

Another of my all time favs (and with cast crossover from Tender Light), this is a family drama that digs deep on the meaning of family, finding your people, and resilience through intergenerational trauma. I love it so so much (I am actually rewatching it right now).

Lighter & Princess

A fantastic romance and owner of a coveted spot on the ride or die drama couples list. In this story you get to watch these two fall in love twice, first in college and then as adults, and both times it's epic.

Reset

How about a time loop thriller? This is one of the best I have ever seen, and its relatively short run keeps it tight and tense all the way through. There's a romance in this one, too, but kissing is definitely secondary to finding their way out of this death trap.

The Rebel Princess

Let's dip our toe into historicals! Granted, I still have plenty of gaps in my historical cdrama watch list (there are just so many and they're so long, I am doing my best people!) but this remains my all time favorite to date. It's epic, it's shockingly well written and paced for its length, the characters are excellent and compelling all around, and it has one of my all time favorite male leads and drama couples (another from the ride or die list!). Don't let the episode number intimidate you, it will fly by much faster than you think.

The Untamed

You watch bl so I am assuming you already know about Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, but just in case I will also include this drama as a much watch. It's likely the best live action danmei we will ever get.

Love Between Fairy and Devil

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if a show put all your favorite fanfic tropes in a blender, cast beautiful people to act them out, and put them in lavish costumes? Well, here is your answer.

Love and Redemption

This one's for us angst with a happy ending girlies. An epic love story with lots of pining and struggle and strife, and it's so worth it.

Falling Into You

Back to the modern era, this is a classic sports drama with a noona romance. Very unassuming but full of charm and very well executed.

Fake It Till You Make It

An unusually mature take on adult romance from a cdrama, this one is about two career focused permasingle love skeptics who meet, realize they actually like each other, and try to figure out what the hell to do with that. I love it a lot.

That should be enough to get you started! There are many many more recs to be had, so once you give some of these a try and figure out what you like, feel free to hit me up for more!

[gravitasmalfunction]

Fall In Love update: I've reached the Tan Xuanlin + Mu Wanqing era and watching these two run rings around other people is so satisfying. This show honestly went, let's start with off-the-charts sexual tension and then curve around into a competence porn double-act, and I am so here for it.

THAT DOMINEERING PROTECTIVE MALE LEAD WE ALL MIAOMIAO NEEDS

Crying over this whump scene again and the fact that in his moment of absolute torment from the poison bound to ruin his body and mind, Xiaobao remembers Huaien--the man who broke his trust, stripped their family of their wealth, made them be sent to prison, and basically destroyed everything he's ever known, but not in that light. No. The Huaien he remembers is the one with the soft eyes, rare smiles, and hands--such soft hands that held him tenderly like a true lover and I'M JUST--😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

"The charm of youth is never about getting what you want but about every unexpected tomorrow and every person you meet by chance" - When I fly towards you (2023)

“Nothing lasts forever. Everything is momentary. They all flow away. And that’s not always a bad thing.” - Twenty-five Twenty-one (2022)

Youth dramas always leave a deep impression specially when you are in your mid 20s and even early 30s. I think we tend to enjoy and feel nostalgic about things we probably never enjoyed in our youth. But we surely have been through that phase right? Some are already matured , some are too casual , some extremely emotional and some too carefree. It all wraps around the fact that youth is the best time of your life when you unapologetically learn and experience the best moments in life. Starting from 2521 to When I fly towards you and now Twinkling watermelon - the best part about youth dramas is that they flow they teach you touch you and then just create magic!! 🪄
