Hey folks!
I always feel like these “Top Chinese Dramas of the Year” lists are written for a certain type of viewer and I always fall outside that particular demographic. Are we the watcher rejects? The nonconformists who don’t always gravitate toward the popular or commercially mainstream dramas? I don’t know! 😂
I make fun of myself about it, but I also know there are other viewers who don’t necessarily share the usual Top 10 favorites. So I thought it might be fun to offer another perspective: a Top 10 from someone who routinely finds that the dramas everyone recommends aren’t the ones that work for me.
I’m not sure if something similar has already been done, so I wanted to throw the idea out there and see whether it might be of interest as an Editorial: essentially, a Top 10 Chinese Dramas of the Year, ugly step-sister edition, the dramas that stood out to someone whose tastes tend to run in a different direction.
