10/10 Totally watchable shows

FL transmigrates into the book world as its FL with an ending in which she dies, so tries hard to avoid any contact with Nan Heng, who's the ML and the reason for all her plight, he causes the death of her family and hers too, she things that he's the worst human being ever only to realise through multiple "coincidental" encounters that there's more to him.Very hilarious, beautiful cinematography and really high stakes that increase the tension (they can DIE, there's no plot armour) and a build up that actually pays for. Every character had their own depth and they all play vital role in the show.
Initial eps will make you dislike the ML but after that it's a banger.

ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING CINEMATOGRAPHY. Solid plot, competent antagonists and pace fast enough to leave you breathless.

A show about women, for women. This was one gorgeously epic show.
All the men of the family are exiles so the women of the family turn to business to earn enough money to pay ransom to get them back. Very very amazing.

She's a butcher in a small border town, he's the marquis who's rescued by her. They're tied together through a marriage of convenience where he becomes her matrilocal husband.She's totally badass knows how to fight so well, keeps the big bad general in line. And goes to a LITERAL WAR TO SAVE HIM. Rises to become the first female general and is revered by the people even more than him.
Also he hid his identity from her ???

Blossom (They both die together after being betrayed and go back in time to right the wrongs, find the manipulator and get revenge.)Epic Cinematography, Swooning worthy scenes, both ML & Fl being really strong, intelligent with a nicest ending everr.
(Same director as Pursuit of Jade)

This shit is gorgeous, layered plot and soo much going on, nobody is whom they seem to be, each with different motives and carrying a secret while fighting against a common enemy that's really powerful. The secrets and motives slowly unravel creating this amazingly convoluted story.
All the characters are strong and the threat of death is real, high stakes and tantalizing tension, also multiple arcs and amazing bgm and ost.

Totally watched it for Su ZaiZai. The embodiment of "I want it and I got it". A single shared glance during a rainstorm fascinated her so much, she chases after him, making him unable to look away. Filled with youthful energy, cute shenanigans and they form a deep bond of friendship with their friends. Su ZaiZai is the cutest. Also the second couple were so cute. I loved their friendship, love and how they grew up.

Strong and powerful women you thing?? TOTALLY THIS ONE. FL is the heir to a powerful matriarchal family involved in tea trade and ML is an official who loses his memory, is rescued by her and becomes her servant ?
Now for her marriage, selection competition is held (the way I screeched over this, so cool) and young men from all rich & powerful families are invited.
The plot is really thick, competent, gorgeous chemistry and I loved all the other sisters of FL who were vying for the heir's position themselves. But later each have their journey and you'll know why FL is the next matriarch. Ruthless. Strong and Intelligent. Even ML is bested a lot of times by her, you can never know what schemes she's cooking up. I love this show sm.
I needed more from the ending what was that??? A few minutes more of them living happily wasn't too much to ask for?

The BEST PLOT. I loved how everything unraveled, the dangers were real, high tension fast paced and armed with competent characters. The cinematography and visual storytelling was gorgeous. I loved the chemistry between all the characters, the way they grew up along the journey, and the twists really made me so intrigued.
Also Mr. Antagonist (The final big boss) looked absolutely delicious ??

An office romance (boss and employee) without power imbalance (she's so so rich ?) and he had a crush on her for years??
The romance?? It made me so giggly.
This is more of Nie Xiguang's story of besting life~ ML is just there for her, always supporting. The gentle shore to her turbulent waves and I couldn't get enough of them.
One of the best endings in cdramas ever. An entire episode of them living their happy life together??? I'm blessed. Take notes the 10 mins of them being happy isn't cutting it ?

CEO (cranky and grumpy) × Her Veryy~ competent secretary (single dad)Agh. The romance was so so tender, slow burn and I loved FL so much, she's strong, competent, and had her issues that healed with his help and also their entire group of supportive employees and friends.
The business part of the company being a talent scout and how it changed peoples lives, how they find the right talent for the job was really fascinating. I loved how tender and gentle this one was.

My fav crime investigation drama with FL who knows her way with a sword, is a really intelligent investigator with a reckless streak wanting to uncover the massacre of her family and ML is aiding her in the investigations and is more of a scholarly type. Female centric show , multiple arcs.
The cinematography was gorgeous, each case was a social commentary over women's plight.

She belongs to an enemy faction, her family caused the death of his grandfather, father and brother and he's hell bent on revenge.
She uses the only arsenal with her, beauty and intelligence to survive, doesn't know her way with a sword, but scheme girl can do epicly.

All characters in this were so competent. The plot had depth and was executed really well, the plot twist at the end was freakin' good. Visual storytelling at peak, gorg cinematography.I loved the chemistry and the love between them was soo tender and gentle that I was blown away-? Proper communication, understanding and trust?? Oh hell yes.
The secondary couple so chaotic, I loved them them so much.

THE BEST ✨REVENGE✨ show!! I love the female lead so much. The girl is unhinged, scheming, intelligent and hell bent on revenge. I loved the chemistry that was really subtle and oh so sensual, amazing cinematography, competent plot, high stakes, antagonist that required a lot to bring down?? Yeapp.
Marriage of convenience, single dad, trauma, competent & strong antagonist and REVENGE.

Both FL & ML transmigrate from the modern world into this book in a historical setting where he's the mad king and she's his consort, they both try everything to survive try to survive the book ending in which they'd die, by scheming and plotting together.
Gorgeous Gorgeous Cinematography, Hilarious as they are from the modern world.

I've a LOT to say about the plot and how it became prey to cliches & lazy storytelling. The blackening of the antagonist didn't make a lot of sense, wasn't gradual but rather abrupt.
BUT
The cinematography. The special effects were done so well, the visuals had me wide eyed in total awe.
Chemistry between the characters was sizzling and the actors acted really well.
The romance made me enjoy me so much, also love a woman is LOVE, Ming Yi was it.
Amazing osts too?✨

I love it. The lead actors have amazing chemistry. Childhood friends to lovers. And so much more. FL is the one who's always chasing him which might be something ppl wouldn't like but it is aptly said that she's very similar to sang yan. But he's worth it for her. (A lot of scenes were cut so it's also due to that)
She also mentioned that he's the Princess trapped in a high tower and needed to be rescued by her and boy she totally does.
I loved their childhood arc, and how they later grew up- I love their love and the cinematography was soo good. I love earthy tones, or bright homey cozy set, hong kong setting in these cdramas does serve me so well, hence I loved that too.
Tanned Zhang Linghe ?✨

• ML is a doctor, also a talented voice actor, she's a fan of him.
• FL is gentle, cute and grows to be a better version.
• Feel good kindof drama, incredibly sweet and warm. Very Healing.
• ML is considered a senior in industry, famous and supports the FL along way.
• No Angst, conflict at all
• An incredible cast of supporting characters each with their own romantic storyline, a very love in the air vibe, and our main characters are shipping a lot of ppl together!

She's the enemy general who shoots an arrow at him that causes him to lose in the war, then gets betrayed and loses her memory, is captured by him and then they both Collab to find who's the mole in the MLs army and who wanted her to die. Best Enemies to lovers vibes, Cinematography is gorgeous, FL knows her way with a sword and rescues our prince charming A LOT! Equal Relationship, No misunderstandings, Proper Communication and the second couple had the juciest storyline)

Again one of my fav, ML is unhinged, a green tea who acts all pitiful with her and she promises to save him, protect him and get revenge.FL is capable, comes from a family of heroes all who have a tragic end so she wants to be a salted fish, doesn't want to save the world but at the end she sacrifices everything for him.
ML is a manipulative lil shit who thinks he had successfully manipulated her but girly pops knew about it all along.

I love the jiejie romance (Older Stable woman who knows what she wants and a golden retriever younger man so much why isn't their more??)
I liked the plot and how everything progressed, It was absolutely fun, the emperor being against got a lil draggy but it was pretty reasonable. I loved how all the characters grew over the course of the show. Her brother's stubbornness became pretty annoying tho. The Princess and her lover definitely stole the show and I loved her!

I'm not being judgy mc judgy over the plot, or how it very easily ignored geographical differences and a lot more.I also haven't watched the prequel so this was a really new story. I enjoyed the cinematography, even the romance between many of the characters, and the FL was pretty cool, would've been cooler if ML wasn't rescuing her all the time.
Still..I had a fun time.

Strong female leads are my thing so obviously. Our ML is an empath, emotionally sensitive and dealing with the stigma that men shouldn't be emotional and shunned by other so much that he decides to isolate himself but instead finds a found family for himself.
They both heal each other. Really good.

Sports romance so obviously? Yes. Fake dating kinda? Training together hell yes. I loved the show overall, but using misunderstandings to create friction didn't do this one much favour, but it was for a few eps so ignored (not forgiven)
Other than that I had so much fun, actors played their characters really well.

The chemistry?? The romance??The cinematography?? Absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous.
She's a hundred year old ghost queen who has lost her five senses, he's the young brilliant general but can exchange senses with her so she can see the world. A love eternal and spanning across years.

Pride and prejudice-esque where a madam is marrying off her 5 daughters and all of them had their husband on their knees (literally)) and are strong leads in life and marriage.

FL is physically disabled. ML is the town's coroner. There's a bit of messyness in the middle but aside from that I loved them.
Both healed each other, what's grief and how to work it out.

Sports romance. Reverse agegap. Forbidden. Very competent and strong FL.

Very Esther yu- esque she's obviously amazing here, strong chemistry loved the romance and story.
