My Favorite Chinese Actresses
You'll be able to tell from my list that I favor modern romance dramas and more comedy. I've watched hundreds of Chinese romance dramas since I started watching them in 2020!
Am I one of the few women who think romance dramas are more about the women than the men? Anyhoo, that's why actresses stand out more to me than actors. I like almost all Chinese actresses (and actors) in popular romance dramas. But, my list only includes my favorites. They are the ones I'll watch in almost anything they are in. And, I re-watch their dramas over and over and over.
Honorable mention to Taiwanese actress Ivy Shao.

She's great both when she's funny and when she's serious. My favorite drama of hers is a historical drama: The Eternal Love. (For those who don't know, "The Eternal Love" is different than "Eternal Love," which stars Yang Mi.)
