I would recommend these series
They kept me engaged throughout a.k.a. no skip/fast forward.
If you know similar genres, tags or series, please recommend. Would be much appreciated.
-
1. Reset
Chinese Drama - 2022, 15 episodes
+ Sci-fi, time-loop, social commentary, Bai Jing Ting.
- Kindddaa rush the ending (but still singular).
-
2. Mobius
Chinese Drama - 2025, 16 episodes
+ Sci-fi, time-loop, action, social commentary, Guangdong setting, pop cultural references, Song Yang and Bai Jing Ting.
- With that ending, I need season 2 (only if possible and capable).
-
3. How Dare You!?
Chinese Drama - 2026, 32 episodes
+ Transmigration, comedy, romance, drama, music, casting.
- Somewhat with the costumes (but fit the transmigration genre in comics), the duo rulers (but acceptable in this story).
-
4. Nobuta wo Produce
Japanese Drama - 2005, 10 episodes
+ Coming-of-age school setting, social commentary, friendship, personal identity.
- Can be a bit depressing at times (but realistic, effortful and uplifting).
-
5. Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty
Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes
+ Historical detective cases, mystery, thriller, action, sets.
- Minor ridiculousness.
-
6. Kai Feng Qi Tan
Chinese Drama - 2017, 25 episodes
+ Comedy, gag, silly fun.
- Haven't finished (because afraid of the ending) but will.
-
7. A Splendid Match
Chinese Drama - 2026, 40 episodes
+ Main leads, main couple, romance, sets, wide shots, food, family, costume.
- First 5-6 episodes were a chore (but picked up thereafter). Questionable writing for certain characters and plots (but always good with the main). Not so sure about the ending (but definitely conclusive).
