Modern Cdramas I watched in 2023

This was my first year in Dramaland (both Chinese and Korean). And I have to say that for the most part I have enjoyed my journey in discovering the dramas. This list includes dramas that were released before 2023 as well.

9. Love of Replica

This one of those dramas with lookalikes where the female lead impersonates her lookalike and solves the mystery about her backstory. Also, it's a bodyguard romance so I definitely expected some things going in. It's full of cliches and tropes some enjoyable and some irritating. I have to praise Yu Yue (actress portraying the female lead), she really made me believe that lookalikes were two completely different people. The chemistry between the main couple is fire. I did not enjoy the secondary characters' romance. However the overall squad energy and their team dynamic was great. I kinda guessed the twist but was surprised by how dark the drama went. Overall, I liked most of it and I was disappointed how some of the characters ended up. If you want a bodyguard romance with kinda obvious twists with very good cast chemistry then you'll probably like it.

8. Parallel Love

This is a time travel drama (you'll see more of these in this list) where Lin Miao, the female lead travels from 2020 to 2010 and she must help Jiao Yang, who is the Vice President of Hong Yu, become the president of the company within 3 months otherwise she will disappear forever. What I liked most about is that Lin Miao is very competant and smart, even if she is not experienced for the task she will still try her best and give it her all. I enjoyed the romance and the dynamic of the main leads. It definitely has plot holes regarding time travel and the rules were not properly explained. They also did not really focus much on the time travel part and did use the potential things that they could do with time travel. However, the interaction between the present and the future Lin Miao was very well done and something that many people would be able to relate to. The business plot was medium and not very interesting. The main leads' personalities and character arcs was the reason why I enjoyed the drama. However, they left the ending ambiguous so if you don't mind open endings then you'll enjoy this time travel/corporate romance drama.

7. Love under the Full Moon

Another time travel drama with a twist that Lei Chu Xia (female lead), who has time travelled 10 years into the future can't leave Xu Xiao Dong side beyond a certain distance. Together they work to recover her memory to unravel the mysteries of the past decade. This drama has great romance, unique time travel premises further in the series, good character development for the main and secondary cast, an antagonist that seems like a real person which makes it seem like we could meet someone like them in real life and a plot with unexpected paths. However, it does have a bittersweet open ending which could make some people hate the drama. Despite that I really liked the drama.

6. Mr. Bad

One day, Nan Xing, an online novel writer makes a wish for an "unforgettable love" in a wishing pool. Then, Xiao Wu Di, the villain of her story, suddenly appears before her! She tries to avoid him, but Xiao Wu Di finds her and threatens her into taking care of him. Unfortunately for him, Nan Xing's wish comes with a special power: whenever she needs help, Xiao Wu Di teleports next to her to fulfill her wish. It's fun, fluffy and sweet with not much angst. The romance is cute and the dynamic with the secondary cast is enjoyable. The ending frustrated me but I assume they did it to pass the censors so I just pretend the last 7 mins don't exist. This is one of those shows you can watch when you just want to turn your brain off and watch a sweet story.

5. My Lethal Man

It's premise is similar to Love of Replica however here Shen Man Ning, an art student takes the place of Zhuang Xin Yan, granddaughter of a business tycoon. Yan Xing Cheng, the mysterious male lead is ruthless in pursuing the mastermind behind the threats and is not really sympathetic to Xin Yan but as they face the difficulties together they fall in love. The romance is so good and their dynamic is very different from typical ones. I found the secondary characters' romance weird and poorly done. The plot was really good and the pace kept moving along nicely. Except for the secondary romance, I had a great time watching it, I really recommend this one if you want a drama that balances mystery/thriller and romance and does a good job at both aspects.

4. Love in Time

A time travel drama again ! This is the last one though. This one is unique because the appartment in which He Zhen Yu has recently moved into merges with it's past one. This is how he meets a rookie reporter Chen Jia Lan who is a former tenant from four months ago, and through some miracle, they are able to see each other. When they attempt to prevent future misfortunes by changing the past together, their romance blossoms. Their romance was so good that I really ended up hardcore rooting for them to get their happy ending. I don't want to give away too much so all I'll say is that the time travel and its consequences were handled very well for the most part and the plot was interesting and took surprising turns. He Zhen Yu's character arc was very well portrayed on the other hand while in the beginning I related to Chen Jia Lan, in the latter part of the drama I was frustrated with her choices and how she didn't have a character growth moment. All the actors did a good job but I have to say that the main leads' acting was very good and made me very immersed in their story. All in all, I had a very good time watching it as the ending brought it all together for me.

3. Lucky's First Love

It's one of those office romances which has a light tone for the most part. Xing Yun is competent and hardworking who was there with Xia Ke when he started the company. They have been working together for years and have deep understanding of each other and work well together. Thankfully, Xia Ke is not one of those CEOs who are jerks and cold hearted. He may be reserved but he is quite caring (not in an overt way) not only towards Xing Yun but also his employees. Xing Yun does go out with someone else in the start but it doesn't last long and love triangle shenanigans are not long drawn out. The main leads' romance is sweet and depicts their daily interactions and they have great kiss scenes. The secondary couples are also great. This drama has character development for main and secondary characters, wholesome workplace and family dynamics, no over the top melodrama, lifelike workplace and relationship issues, slice of life interactions and very little angst. This is a great watch for when you need something short and sweet that's not too heavy.

2. Ordinary Greatness

The show mainly focuses on novice police officers that are starting their one year long mentorship. They soon discover that the grass-roots work is different from what they imagined, and, after some struggles, they're gradually moved by the sense of achievement and honour gained in their work. Throughout the show we explore their characters, their comraderie with each other, with their mentors and with other police officers at their station. We also get to know their mentors and other police officers at the station which immerses the audience in the show deeply. It is a slice of life type drama, where most of the cases are not major crimes. All actors knock it out of the park with their emotional as well as subtle portrayals. This show depicts how even small acts and seemingly tedious and insignificant work really have great impact on people's lives and that the people doing such grassroots work contribute just as much and are just as important to the society if not more as the people doing big acts like taking down criminal gangs. While some situations and cases are specific to China, everyone will be able to relate to majority of them. I must say this is a must watch drama.

1. Arsenal Military Academy

This is a Republican era drama in which Xie Xiang assumes her brother's identity to join the Chinese army and is accepted in the Arsenal Military Academy. While she is the main lead the story also follows Gu Yan Zheng(main lead) - a spoilt quarrelsome rich kid, the gentle and introverted Shen Jun San, Qu Man Ting - a famous actress and singer and secondarily other cadets, their teachers and other locals. It has great comedy, really good romance (including their hilarious bickering), enjoyable action and entertaining dynamic of the cast. All the actors did an excellent job here, the standouts being Bai Lu, for portraying being able to convincingly play the female role and the female disguised as male role all while knocking out her emotional and comedic scenes and Xu Kai, who can forget his electrifying performance as a lovable troublemaker. I have to warn you that the story gets serious in the last 10ish episodes and that the love triangle does drag out a little bit longer than it should but it's resolution is still good. To me the drama didn't seem overly patriotic so I didn't have a problem rooting for the characters and their goals of protecting and improving their country. This ranked first because it's romance, characters and their comraderie won me over completely.

As I'm still a newbie to cdramas and kdramas, I welcome your recommendations.

MY LETHAL MAN 2023

The drama had a solid start.The first half of the series was really good.The plot was interesting but it got so messy towards the end.The lead character Shen Maning got herself involved in this revenge plot because of an accident. The culprit mistook her as Zhuang Xinyan the heiress of a big company.Unfortunately the latter passed away and Yan Xicheng who introduced himself as Yixan's fiance asked Maning to play as Xinyan to repay her after all she saved her and even donated her corneas to her.

Shen Maning wanted to refuse him and never wanted to steal Xinyan's identity. Later she agreed and wanted to fulfill Xinyan's last wishes. The whole revenge plan started and the House of Zhuang was shaken by their return.

However Xinyan's real identity was tested again and again. As the episodes progress revelations happened. Yan Xicheng whom everyone thought was Maning's protector is the lost son of the Zhuang family.He was Yan Yi who disappeared 17 years ago.It wasn't revealed early on that Xinyan had a brother and no one would suspect why he had his blood tested instead of Maning in one of the episodes.

Also what is even more surprising that Maning and Xinyan were just mere dopplegangers who look exactly the same but are not even biologically related. The writers made it to the point that Xinyan and Yan Yi never met when they are older or else it would be so weird to fall in love with someone who looks exactly like his sister. The leads looks so fine together and were very natural in almost every scene. The director gave them so much screentime.It is very rare in a drama to see romantic scenes in every episode.

In one of the episodes Maning fell on the bridge and drowned and when Yan Yi drowned himself in the ocean Maning saved him.She really knows how to swim.

As the story unfolds, Yan Yi found out the truth. Fan Zhi Xin really captured the viewers with his character.He was cold and arrogant.He was witty and strong but they made him not so perfect when his plans backfired at him.

Also I am rooting for Meina and Yuan Shai I really like their tandem.I felt like he likes her too but choose not to instead he supported Fan Xiang to pursue Meina instead.

Cai Xuan admitted why she choose to be cruel and wicked because she felt so insecure and unloved. The scene that touches me the most was when Yan Yi laid his head on his mother's lap and he felt safe in his mother's arms.

The drama had a really good soundtrack.The story is fictional because some scenes don't make sense at all but overall the production quality is good.

A little off topic… I’m not sure if any of my followers watch any Asian drama’s, I’m a long time fan of them and cannot recommend them enough! I recently came across a couple that I thought I’d recommend that were fantastic!

Alchemy of Souls: If you haven’t jumped on this bandwagon and watched this one you’re missing out! Such a fantastic story, beautiful romance and funny! I slowly fell for the main lead, though I definitely will say the second male lead had my heart as well… so hot. I loved the magical aspect of this story, awesome fight scenes. Binge watched both seasons, sad to see it’s over!

Hit the Spot: This is a brand new mature drama that was oh soooo good! Has some sex scenes so definitely not for minors. I love all the different scenarios and how open it is about sex, so different for an Asian drama! Of course, sexy romance! This one is very short too, only 8 episodes.

My Lethal Man: Chinese dramas for me are hit and miss but man this one got my heart fluttering. The main lead gives major dom/big dick energy, not to mention oh so steamy kisses. The story is interesting and I love the intrigue it brings. Of course as always with Chinese dramas there is some over the top stuff, but still fantastic! Bonus for me is it’s not like 60 episodes like a lot of Chinese dramas, too many for me, it’s 24 episodes. I definitely fell for the main man, his eyes remind me of JK and those glasses grr.

Island: One name… Cha Eun Woo. Be still my beating heart, this man is always so attractive it should be illegal. I wish he was the main lead here, but I’m glad to just see him in a role where he can really show off his acting chops. Love the interesting storyline here. Awesome fight scenes. Can’t wait for new episodes every week! This one’s only a few episodes in but I’m already hooked.

If you want any more recommendations or wanna know my favorite dramas of all time let me know! 💋

My lethal man. Secondo me l’ufficio turistico di Prato ha fornito agli sceneggiatori qualche info sbagliata. Oppure sono io che devo decidermi ad andarci così in una sola città visito:

Duomo di Milano

Piazza San Marco

Ospedale Sant’Orsola

Mole Antonelliana

Passeggiata in costiera Amalfitana.

Drama Tropes Ranked!

From the major plot points to the minor details, I'm ranking popular drama tropes. 10 being "not again!" and 1 being I look forward to it every time. This is not a knock on any particular dramas; this is just a partial rant and partial having fun.

10. Childhood crush

This trope is so overused I actually expect it now in dramas. It was adorable the first few times, but now it's past its prime.

9. "Accidental" Kiss

Nearly every show has gravity and fate playing together to bring two pairs of lips together. Whoops!

8. Ice-faced CEO

This phrase is more often used in novels, but it can be applied to dramas as well. And I don't just mean CEOs, but also doctors, lawyers, whoever. I'm just tired of men with no emotion as the leading character.

7. Klutzy Girl

She is beauty, she has grace, she will fall flat on her face. This trope is often paired with the Ice-faced CEOs and while it can be cute, I roll my eyes oftentimes.

6. Girl dresses as a guy and gets away with it.

We could just knock down the costuming/makeup department for this one, but I have seen women dress as men in dramas and it looks legit! Nini in "The Rise of Phoenixes" is a prime example. Most often I laugh at this trope rather than hate it.

5. Princess Carry

Oh no! Girl has hurt her foot, bleeding from her head, ripped her dress or stubbed her toe! How to solve this problem? The infamous princess carry!

4. 2 Guys Chase 1 Girl

It's one of the oldest tropes out there and yet still doesn't get old. Who will the girl choose? Watch the drama and find out.

3. A Misunderstanding Tears Love Apart

How to break apart fated lovers? A misunderstanding, cuz the guy can't be too evil towards the girl and the girl can't be too evil towards the guy. It's true love, guys, we have to get them back together eventually.

2. My lover's family killed my family

This trope is not often used, because it's really dark. Sometimes it can be a misunderstanding leading us back to #3, but when it's real...oh boy, we're in for some tears between our main leads. This trope brings real drama and tragedy.

Enemies to Lover

We love to see it. Two people hate each other, then fall madly in love. While it doesn't have to include weapons, they do give more danger to their love. Then there are also the modern enemies: business rivals, boss and underling or the awful neighbors. Whatever the situation. If it's hate to love, I love it.

Are there any on this list that you also have strong feelings towards? Are there any tropes that I missed?

#cdrama #chinese drama #the killer is also romantic #my lethal man #crush #ashes of love #unconditional love #my uncanny destiny #love between fairy and devil #my girlfriend is an alien #mommy's counterattack #maid's revenge
