Thanks emi you r so sweet 

it really depends on what you prefer to see. Like if you want to watch the most popular ones Id say go with Squid Game, Extracurricular, Its okay to be not okay and Crash landing on you. They aren't per say bad, just speak to different target groups.

Thanks Guys so sweet of you. 

When I first started watching Asian dramas a few years ago, it was because of a Netflix recommendation. I liked it and wanted to watch more of them. But, it was extremely difficult to figure out what the good ones were. Viki has a much better user interface than Netflix and more great content than Netflix. Much of the great content is free too (with commercials). So, you might want to check it out, if you can.


MyDramaList has been a great and key resource for me. You can search for popular or well rated dramas using the links below. I think it’s a good place to start, because there are a lot of not-so-popular or lower-rated dramas that you may not like.

But, you can’t search by platform, i.e., Netflix, Viki, iQiyi, WeTV, MGTV, Youku, YouTube, etc. Also, it’s hard for a small outfit like MyDramaList to keep platforms up-to-date. For example, WeTV moves stuff on and off it and moves stuff from free to behind a paywall and sometimes back surprisingly frequently.


So, I keep a list of Chinese dramas and their platforms with the understanding that their platforms can change. Viki and Netflix seem to keep dramas available for years at a time, unlike, for example, WeTV. Here’s my latest list of top Chinese dramas that have been on Netflix. (I use an equally-weighted combination of MyDramaList ratings and number of ratings, aka popularity.) Almost all of them are still on Netflix. (h stands for historical. I’m not as good about keeping historical Chinese dramas up-to-date, as I am with modern Chinese dramas, because I tend to prefer modern ones.)

Good luck!  By the way, I keep a list, because Asian dramas are frequently re-watchable! It’s an amazing phenomenon!

Thanks Everybody Lots of Love from Greece
