1. Mergulhando em Seu Sorriso

Chinese Drama - 2021, 31 episodes

8.0
- enjoyed the way this show went beyond showcasing the training of professional gamers, incorporating also the stress/darker side of fame
- strong FL, had quite a mature relationship with ML
2. O Juramento de Amor

Chinese Drama - 2022, 32 episodes

7.0
- super realistic Asian family problems/arguments, but it was too close to home for me so I was exhausted by the end of this show LOL
- showed both leads' 'workplace' problems well -- as an aspiring cellist & a current doctor in a hospital
- had some frustration w/ the leads but not the worst I guess?
3. Love To Be Loved By You

Chinese Drama - 2021, 40 episodes

8.5
- one my favourite C-Dramas, with smart FL, strong ML, super mature relationship
- characters' problems arise from their jobs -- as a SWAT officer & doctor/surgeon, rather from within relationship (which I very much prefer, seeing leads work together through challenges)
- second lead love plot got a bit messy, and I fast-forwarded parts especially towards the end
4. Apaixonar-se

Chinese Drama - 2021, 36 episodes

7.0
- smart leads, aesthetic setting/fashion (zhang jing yi looked gorgeous in every scene)
- major second lead syndrome -- the more i think about it, the more i hate the main male lead and the FL who kinda has stockholm syndrome
- awful dubbing sometimes that threw me off & the middle episodes dragged in terms of angsty-ness
5. Detective L

Chinese Drama - 2019, 24 episodes

7.0
- smart ML, strong FL
- plot was kinda draggy though
6. Fogos de artifício do meu coração

Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes

7.5
- be prepared for some angst in the relationship like in the Oath of Love (I've always skipped the parts when her mom is on screen LOL)
- enjoyed the chicago fire/ chicago med themes (like You are My Hero)
- smart/strong leads who learn how to be people-smart
- happy ending
7. Olho da Tempestade

Chinese Drama - 2021, 40 episodes

7.0
- smart & mature leads, also good supporting characters
- would've liked it if it was a bit more like chicago pd/ ncis where they focus on a few different cases (also with some action scenes) rather than drag a big one out for 40 episodes
- english dubbing was a bit funny lol but happy ending
8. Mr. & Mrs. Wu

Chinese Drama - 2023, 32 episodes

7.5
- i love the fashion of republican dramas, and this one was not short of eye candies XD
- hard to find happy ending ones set in this time period for obvious reasons, so i started watching this for the HE rather than critiquing the plot
- smart leads though that actually prove it -- also liked how they were on the same wavelength instead of one being only brains and the other only brawn
9. No Meio de uma Tempestade de Neve de Amor

Chinese Drama - 2024, 30 episodes

8.0
- be warned - SLOWWW start & pacing. I watched on 1.25x speed, oop
- BUT Plot picks up during the later eps, a healing sports-romance show!!!
- though Leo Wu will always seem young to me XD so kinda funny seeing him trying to take on older roles.
- on the other hand... Wang Xing Yue looked so mature -- i forgot he's my age. NAUR WE 2002 KIDS ARE GROWING UP
- couldn't help cringing at the english dialogue but issokay this show was packed with eyecandies (Ding Xiao Ying, Chen Jing Ke, Han Dong Lin,,,) HAHA
10. Miss Mystery

Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes

7.5
- acting was meh but gotta love a FL who is smart + can fight
- ALSO marriage alliance + revenge story? In Republican era clothes? Right up my alley
- the plot was lowkey just the leads' chemistry - though the guy said 'i love you' wayyy too early on HAHAH
11. Love Me, Love My Voice

Chinese Drama - 2023, 33 episodes

8.0
- this is just a healing show to watch in between intense stuff -- not much plot honestly, they are talking about cooking 90% of the time HAHA
- the relationship develops SUPER DUPER SLOWLY so i understand why people find this boring (even though i love slow burn this was also slow for me lol) - can tell it's the same writer as Amidst a Snowstorm of Love
- watched this on 1.25/1.5x speed oop - the best paced eps (16-18) were the ones when they went on the work trip lol
- enjoyed the uni setting from the FL and the med / voice actor background from ML
- 2nd couple also grew on me. Eye candies everywhere lol
12. Miss S

Chinese Drama - 2020, 34 episodes

8.0
- smart leads! (and eye candies in every episode -- love seeing people prance around in republican era fashion without too much politics going on)
- enjoyed the way cases did not drag for more than 2-3 episodes (side eye @ Storm Eye)
- but the FL did get annoying at some points (kept overstepping boundaries, doing dangerous stuff on her own even when ML had told her not to)
- and the last 3 episodes got me facepalming the stupidity of some characters but other than that it was one of the better republican dramas
13. Amor à Noite

Chinese Drama - 2021, 30 episodes

8.0
- watched for Liu Xue Yi, but the FL is such an eye candy too & is a lady boss herself
- obviously there's cliches and some cringe but i'm here for a lighthearted time anyways
- FL did take a while to come around but i think it was pretty realistic for someone who had been in a 10 year toxic relationship. (i fast-forwarded most of those scenes though HAHAH)
- most conflicts happen before they get together which is what i prefer tbh than later down the road
- also skipped the side couples oops
14. Amor Inesquecível

Chinese Drama - 2021, 24 episodes

8.0
- wanted to try watching Wei Zhe Ming's acting - was pleasantly surprised by the plot, pacing + other actors as well. XIAO BAO IS SO CUTE WHAT THE HECK
- Hu Yi Xuan reminds me of Hyeri hehe full of expressions + very natural
- second couple quite funny, love the FL's friends
- really liked how the ML wasn't just an objective, cold robot -- still cared for people in his own way
- skip over ep20,21 if you hate misunderstandings
15. O amor que você me oferece

Chinese Drama - 2023, 28 episodes

8.0
- Wang Zi Qi actually looks good here + the kid is adorable + FL is capable
- angst in the middle episodes was unnecessary (chen jiajun being related to sun tian, skip misunderstandings ep 17-21) but other scenes were quite sweet
- Chen Xin Hai is also so cute
16. Você é Meu Amigo e Amante

Chinese Drama - 2024, 30 episodes

8.5
- friends to lovers done well! They're sooo sweet omg and are both smart, resilient leads!
- really slowww burn but i liked it overall! Maybe could've been shortened by around 3-5 episodes though
- their friend group working together is cute - especially happy to see Wu Jun Ting again & i love his character here
- the married couple was really funny & i liked how they showcased both ups and downs of relationships too!
