2021: Best C-Dramas Of The Year!

This year, I have seem to switch over from Korean dramas to Chinese dramas... There has been somewhat of an enormous influx of high production and much anticipated C-Dramas in 2021 which keeps me preoccupied to say the least. 

Sorry K-Dramas! But looks like you're taking a back seat for me this year. #SorryButNotSorry


Please include ONLY 2021 C-Dramas into list! Thanks :)

**Outstanding Dramas = Rating must be 8 stars and/or more on MDL.
