![Amor Eterno]()
4. Amor Eterno

- smart leads, super super mature relationship -- love how the first few episodes started with scenes of their wedding, guaranteeing a happy ending
- some school scenes are a bit too fictional but the university setting was good

![Doce Tai Chi]()
5. Doce Tai Chi
Chinese Drama - 2019, 24 episodes
- super cute relationship, strong/smart leads, found family
- maybe just wished there was a skill the FL taught the ML something instead of ML taking charge of everything (but it wasn't too much, still cute dynamic)
- quite liked the mix of ancient culture/tradition of tai chi, mixed with the modern day setting
- interesting plot twists, happy ending
-
![O Isqueiro e o vestido da Princesa]()
6. O Isqueiro e o vestido da Princesa
Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes
- smart leads, slow burn, loved how loyal the FL is, how characters had their own strengths & weaknesses
- ML was a bit too overbearing for me though
- the conflicts/ external pressure and problems weren't overdone, good balance of feelings
-
![O Tempo e Ele Estão Certos]()
7. O Tempo e Ele Estão Certos
Chinese Drama - 2022, 25 episodes
- smart leads! (I had some second lead syndrome though)

![Quando Voo em sua Direção]()
8. Quando Voo em sua Direção
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
- smart leads!
- obviously there's cringe scenes BUT overall super fluffy and sweet lol had to pause to stop my jaded soul from being overwhelmed
- love how the friend group shared fun times and studied hard together! Realistic growing up themes, really fleshed out supporting characters
- timeline did skip quite a bit though, wished there was more scenes set in university but understandable to try to reunite OG friend group post graduation
-
![Lovely Us]()
9. Lovely Us
Chinese Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
- childhood friend group is SO CUTE
- realistic themes of school setting, growing up
- characters all super fleshed out, including the parents
- the second-hand embarrassment is still quite funny
- overall, just a healing show, one of my fave youth ones for sure
-
![Conto de Fadas Diferente]()
10. Conto de Fadas Diferente
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
- childhood friends to lovers trope done well!
- Zhang Miao Yi really suits acting this genre over the other ones she's done - Jun was quite stiff but the character dynamics were cute so it was a good fluffy binge
- cute easter eggs on Jun's Seventeen references AHAHA
- would've appreciated the FL showcase her capability a bit more though if her grades weren't good e.g. taekwondo skills cuz that's how she got into their top high school... BUT EVENTUALLY it showed her growth in terms of studying though thank goodness
- liked the fact the uni arc started around the halfway mark though, happy to get the balance of school + uni setting!
- side characters were quite helpful too HAHA
-
![The National Southwestern University and Us]()
11. The National Southwestern University and Us
Chinese Drama - 2023, 39 episodes
-
![Para Voar com Você]()
12. Para Voar com Você
Chinese Drama - 2021, 35 episodes
- university based sports drama, with the FL also in sports, a niche thing i was looking for
- plot was a bit too dragged out, a result of wanting to give the FL a whole teen type of character development arc (immature thinking etc to becoming more mature -- they should have started her off being a bit more mature already cuz she's a first year uni student after all, not a young teen)
- realistic conflicts though (training, team infighting, coaching differences, risk of injuries, career pathways)
-
![Legalmente Amor]()
13. Legalmente Amor
Chinese Drama - 2022, 33 episodes
- first time watching Tao's personal projects outside of EXO and he acted quite well!
- enjoyed this more than i expected - FL's character wasn't as annoying as her one in To Fly With You
- i REALLY like shows set in university, there's a mix of silliness and maturity
- quite realistic 'time travel' between past and present, and the boss-employee dynamic lasts for only a short while thankfully
