Here's a list of the Chinese dramas I've finished watching, starting from the first one I completed

An actor's A-list status is evaluated primarily through two dimensions:Prestige: acting ability, critical acclaim, awards, and industry recognition.Commercial Value: box office appeal, drama viewership, traffic/popularity, endorsement value, and market influence.Actors can achieve A-list status either by excelling in both dimensions or by reaching an exceptional level in one. For example, Xiao Zhan is regarded as A-list primarily because of his extraordinary commercial influence, while Chen Daoming represents the pinnacle of prestige and artistic recognition.
