Modern C-dramas

1. Hidden Love
Chinese Drama - 2023, 25 episodes
Beautiful Drama. There were no stupid misunderstandings. Both the leads protected each other throughout everything. When the leads first started dating, they keep it a secret from others and when the FL's brother found out, he was pissed and even punched the ML, but honestly I understood everything. Both the leads were there for each other, and were green flags, and they had amazing friends and the FL's parents were soo nice.
Overall: beautiful love story, amazing chemistry

2. Really Miss You
Chinese Drama - 2023, 33 episodes
I have no words. Beautiful drama. No misunderstandings, no toxic characters. The leads got together pretty early (ep 8) and stayed together till the actual end. All of the people around them supported them. Liked to see the whole dubbing scenes and singing as well from their works and the friendships were amazing. The whole drama was just a complete green flag. I loved the fact that the ML knew straight away what he wanted and did not beat around the bush, and the FL, despite being shy, accepted the ML's love as well quite soon. There are quite a few kisses, and the two last episode we see a forward in time of 2 years, which I actually liked as it gave time for the leads to be together as boyfriend and girlfriend so that they could be together as husband and wife after.
Overall: I was not bored one single episode, and the leads made me smile like crazy the entire time.

3. The Lighter and the Princess' Gown
Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes
Overall really enjoyed the cdrama. It has life lessons. The drama is basically divided into two parts: when they are in university and in their work life. The ML had some open wounds and in fact he broke the FL' heart but to protect her, but he grew as a person, as he became more capable of asking for help and giving up on his revenge at the end. The FL was the undeniable rock of support for the ML. I loved her, she as a bit naive in the beginning as she did not have much life experience but she grew stronger but remained faithful to her ideals and to the ML.
I liked ep17 when the trio went for the competition. The first part was cute, more light, with constant bickering of the leads and amazing friendships. On ep22, the ML after losing his sister decides to go on a path of revenge and pushes the FL to protect her by breaking her heart, which lands him in jail. From ep23 we see a fast forward of three years wih Li Xu getting out of jail and deciding to go after Old Gao as he was the real villain. Fortunately on the same ep the FL confronts Old Gao and discovers some of truth. She then tells the ML she will help him. This part till the end is more hard and real, but we also see funny scenes like the ones in the company. The ending was really satisfying: the LP company goes again to the leads; the bastard Fang went to jail; Old Gao repented and because of his sickness gave up on the company and let go of his wish of being the best (which is what drove him insane and made him lose everyone) and stayed with his wife Lina (that like the ML in university and was a bitch, but also changed); the FL's mother appears to finally be ok with her being with the ML.
Bad sides: ML'S sister died; the FL's mother that kept being unreasonable.

5. Derailment
Chinese Drama - 2023, 30 episodes
surprisingly good drama, it surprised me in a good way. I was not bored one single episode and there were so many plot twists that were unnexpected that kept you interested in the drama. I really liked the FL, she was thrown into what she thought was the past and had nobody by her side but due to her kind nature and strong character she was able to gain friends and even win the heart of the ML. The ML was strong and a bit cold towards the FL when he thought she was someone else, but even so he fell for her and was willing to always be there for her. The mystery part of the leads uncovering the secret about the "time travel" was really interesting, the relationship between the FL and her coworkers as well her boss was so cute.
Overall: nice drama with very good story, strong leads, too few kiss scenes, the ML's father was terrible.

7. Luo Yao Knew What He Meant
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes

8. Du Jia Tong Hua
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
Such a beautiful and cute drama. The FL was tomboy-ish, she was always cheerful, happy and innocent, but she was loyal to her friends and was not afraid to stand up for herself. The ML was seemingly cold but he was extremely caring for the FL, his friends and parents. Almost right from the start we could see the ML liked the FL, but they were young, so he did not act on his feelings for her, so he only pursued her in college and it was so funny when he acted all flirty The FL, in college, realized her feelings too, so they get together around episode 17 and remained together till the end. The first 13 episodes were of them in high school and then from there on, it was them in college, and then work life. The second couple, the FL's friend was also super cute together with the girl being the bublly one and the guy being the more cold one and shy. The ML was a green flag, heed to, when he did not chocolates that much but since the FL always had them while studying and everything, he started liking them; and then he said he did not use use scarves but when the FL wanted to make him one, he said for her he would. Their families were total shippers of them being together.
Overall: really nice drama, no breakup, lots of butterfly in stomach scenes, plenty of kisses, and healthy relationship. Only wished for the high school part to be shorter since they were young and were not together.

9. Go Ahead
Chinese Drama - 2020, 46 episodes
Really nice drama. it had the part where the leads were kids, then teenagers and then adults, so we could see them through the different stages of life. The FL is childish but once she grews, she becomes mature, but always stands up for her family. Ling Xiao was always introvert, with extra care for his family especialy the FL, and then He Ziqiu was always extrovert, making sure his little sister always had everything. They grew apart because of life circunstances and did not see each other for 9 years, which led to some constraints but they were quick to find support in each other again. I loved their interactions and love for each other. Both the ML thought they liked the FL but the He Ziqiu was simply confused, and so the other two were together. Then, the two dads, they were so amazing and supportive of their kids especially the FL's dad that was the best person ever. The Boy's mothers were cruel at first, but we came to understand them and Ling Xiao's mom that was like a "villain" changed in the end.
Overall: beautiful life lessons, nice romance between the leads though there were just 3 kisses but no breakup, greenest ML ever and dads.

10. During the Snowstorm
Chinese Drama - 2024, 30 episodes
Nicely done Cdrama. The leads had a healthy relationship, they got together pretty early on and stayed together til the end. There were no big misunderstandings, and if there were they would solved it pretty fast. The dynamics with the friends were really good. There was never a character that was bad, even the FL's parents that we thought were gonna be against the ML, but they were actually really nice. The ML was the one to fall first, and he pursued the FL quite relentless. The story pace in the beginning was a bit slow, and even though the drama portrayed really well everyday life, sometimes I wishes there was something extra in it.
Overall: good love story, lots of butterfly in the stomach scenes
Bad side: Mr.He death was really sad but he was already old and sick, I wish the ML did not try to be so strong all the time sometimes and just relied on the people around him.

11. You Are My Glory
Chinese Drama - 2021, 32 episodes
Nice C-drama. The relationship between the leads was healthy and mature. They get together around ep20 and stay together till the end. There to fast forwad towards the end, of 2 and 5 years. The 5 years one was unnecessary because we saw the leads marrying in the other, but we saw the launch of the rocket and how emotional it was for everyone. The FL was kind and playfull and was the first to confess, and the ML was kind, romantic and in the beginning he did not wana to be in a relationship with the FL because he was worried about what he could offer her. As soon as they went past that beginning phase, they were so cute together, supportive of each other and playful. The ML work scenes part were not that interesting to me.
Overall: nice leads, lots of kiss scenes, no breakup, the exes dissapear quite fast as the leads are quite firm with them.

12. Fairyland Lovers
Chinese Drama - 2020, 35 episodes

13. Tian Tian De Xian Jing
Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes
Overall good drama. Liked the whole food plot, which was really well done. The evil characters, the ML's cousin was really despicable, and thankfully his plans never worked. The FL was cute, and she had a character growth. She was kind and after she became the chef of her own restaurant she grew stronger, and even faced whoever if it came to protecting her loved ones, like when she choose to not believe the false words of the "villain" and even stood up to him. The leads get together late, around episode 20 as they already liked each other but because of misunderstandings from the past they had to face each other in a competition which made them grew apart for 2 months, but then the FL goes after the ML, which I liked to see. The ML'S sister in the beginning seemed annoying but she grew on me, and her relationship with the FL'S friend was cute and they got married.
Bad side: kinda wanted the leads to get together sooner but understand why they did not. The villains which really annoyed me with their weird logic of wanting to be the best.

15. Jinpai Kefu Dong Dong En
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
liked both the leads. The FL was cute, funny and with strong morals. She stoop up for herself and what she believed in. The ML was always there for the FL, even when she was cyber bullied by his fake friend. The group of the Eighty-two company where the FL worked at were so cute, they were there through everything and stood by each other, each with their own skills and funny personalities. The FL'S two friends were together for a while, but then broke up which I was sad about. We saw the FL'S ex who was a bad person but fortunately he did not appear much and the leads were able to "defeat" him, same as the childhood friend of ML who liked him. Both the leads parents were supportive of them and nice. The leads got together on episode 14, we see a lot of kiss scenes and they are together always. They only separate on episode 23, but do not break up, as the FL wanted some time to lift herself from the bullies, and got back again on the same ep.

16. Please Feel At Ease Mr. Ling
Chinese Drama - 2021, 24 episodes
loved the love story between the leads and some of the secondary couples, the ML'S dad, and tthe fact that the FL was really strong. The FL was not weak, in fact she stoop up for herself when she was wronged, and did not take any one's crap.
The villains annoyed me quite a bit but was satisfied with the ending.

20. Once We Get Married
Chinese Drama - 2021, 24 episodes
story wise, it wasn't super great. It was ok. But I really liked the ML's family, they were super supportive of the ML and FL, especially the grandmother and mother. The relationship between them was super cute, with lots of intimacy and respect for each other. I like the fact that the misunderstanding got resolved super fast, and despite the SFL's attempts of hurting the FL, the ML was always on the FL's side.
From the moment they got together, around ep15, they never broke up and always stood by each other's side.

22. San Fen Ye

gave it a 9 because I loved the friendships and the grandfather of the FL. Story wasn't captivating for me so I would have give it lower even though the leads were cute and had chemistry.

25. Ni Ye You Jin Tian
Chinese Drama - 2024, 36 episodes
Overall nice drama. the plot was interesting with the different lawyer cases. The leads fit well together, but they took a long time to get together (ep23) but they stay together untill the end, except for a part near the end where they are a bit distant because of work differences but never break up. The ML took a long time to confess and some attitudes were even childish, which i felt unnecessary. Their fight enar the end was because the ML kept taking decisions both in their personal and work life without asking what the FL felt about it, but then he learned and apoligized. The FL was a bit naive at first, but she always had a kind heart and wanted to see the good in people. The coworkers of the leads were all so cute, and their dynamics made up for a lot of the bad things in the drama. The female lawyer that like the ML and was introduced a bit after the leads got together was unncessary with all the drama. We saw too little kisses between the leads. The 2nd couple, the FL's sister and the ML's friend (almost like a brother) were so cute, and their story was more interesting to me than that of the leads.

26. Si Cang Lang Man
Chinese Drama - 2024, 32 episodes
overall nice drama. The leads were together almost right from the start, there were lots of kisses and cute scenes. I felt a bit bored though watching and some scenes of the ML actually annoyed, such as when he was jealous of the FL and answered her phone without telling her anything just so that the guy on the phone could hear a man's voice and back off. The second couple, the FL's coworkers were so cute and I was more interest in their love story than the leads. the FL's bff also had a boyfriend but their relationship was full of not understanding each other so it's good they did not end up together. The FL was strong and was able to keep on working even when obstacles came her way and refused to get any help through her connection with the ML.

28. Bie Dui Wo Dong Xin
Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes
nice drama. liked the FL, she was nice and bold. she confessed to ML but got rejected so she stood her ground until the ML regretted it. The ML trying to win her back was nice to see, as he made her suffer before. They get together ony on ep19, we barely have any kisses and they are nothing special. The 2nd couple are super cute. Almost at the end of the drama, there was a problem at the company and the ML tried to solve it by himself and by doing so kept the FL in the dark, which was absolutely unnecessary.
overall: confession of the leads should have come sooner, the ML's jealousy sometimes was pure childish, the confession of the FL'S coworker that liked her was weird as he had a sin saying marry me.

30. Shi Guang Yu Ta, Qia Shi Zheng Hao
Chinese Drama - 2022, 25 episodes
nice drama. the FL was cute and loyal, the ML serious and loyal as well. The group of friends was cute and they were together through everything despite their fights sometimes. The leads fell for each other early on, but just got together once they went to university. The whole part of them getting together was messy because of misunderstandings, which I felt unnecessary. The plot of the leads with the help of their squad doing the start up in the end was nice. The relationship of the 2nd couple was so complicated but they prevailed in the end.
overall: cute drama, too few simple kisses, wished they got together sooner, the plot of their lifes while in highschool was cute and funny.
