Top 20 Favorite Modern Chinese Dramas

Listing my fave Mainland Modern Chinese Dramas in order. (I have a separate list from Taiwan and for Historical Chinese dramas). 

Disclaimer: "Favorite" differs from "Best" because although there are some better dramas (better execution, story etc) than the ones on this list, does not mean that they are my favourite. Likewise, I cannot claim them to be the Best Dramas out there, because I think "Best Dramas" should be voted with a critical and non-subjective eye, and usually are determined through a consensus by a majority. What you may think is the best may not really be deemed as the best by others, and vice versa.  

For me, "favorites" are what tugged at my heartstrings and "best" involves more appreciation beyond preference.
