Ordered from least amount of ROMANTIC chemistry to most. (Draft)

5. The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty

6. Original Sin
Chinese Drama - 2018, 24 episodes
Intriguing plot line of enemies to confidants. The conflict between them is heavier than in Under the Skin. Sad ending, no season 2. Warning: trans joke (a side character had a date in Thailand and his date is trans and he was disappointed and the other character including mains laughed about it)

7. Lie Zui Tu Jian
Chinese Drama - 2022, 20 episodes
Great chemistry between leads and good backstory of pain and guilt too! And even if you don't like the bromance, there's the intriguing cases and art history that can make you stay. Kinda mature in the cases and all of them connect to human trafficking. Great character development and relationship development too. There's been talks of a season 2 too but with Chinese dramas, anything can happen. No canon couples yet between leads and sides. Subs on YouTube from eps 17-20 are not in sync but the ones on IQIYI VIP are pretty good.
