  • A Murderous Affair in Horizon Tower

    1. A Murderous Affair in Horizon Tower

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    9.5

    great performances, superb use of unreliable narrators, and the slow creeping horror of learning about meibao's past is intense.

  • Some Day or One Day

    2. Some Day or One Day

    Taiwanese Drama - 2019, 13 episodes

    9.0

    really, really good; didn't understand why it was a classic until i watched it, but it absolutely deserves its reputation.

  • Reset

    3. Reset

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 15 episodes

    9.0

    really good and tightly written timeloop drama with solid acting from the entire cast

  • Bu Liang Zhi Nian Qing Chu Shi

    4. Bu Liang Zhi Nian Qing Chu Shi

    Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    9.0

    touching supernatural drama. the lead is especially good.

  • Pettegolezzo

    5. Pettegolezzo

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 36 episodes

    superb chinese adaptation of the original jp manga. i like that they didn't go for 1:1 character interpretations, but rather made cn versions that made sense. the two leads are great, both as children and as teenagers, and the emotional beats are all there.

  • The Outcast

    6. The Outcast

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 27 episodes

    8.5

    neat supernatural story with fun characters. feng baobao and wang ye are my faves.

  • Under the Skin

    7. Under the Skin

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 20 episodes

    8.5

    a cop show, but with a genius artist as the sherlock holmes-y type. tan jianci is great here.

  • Cross Fire

    8. Cross Fire

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 36 episodes

    8.5

    very good and quite funny at times! luhan turns the corner on his acting here for sure.

  • We Best Love: Forever the First

    9. We Best Love: Forever the First

    Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes

    9.0

    gao shide would be terrifying irl but he's cute insofar as the show goes... really refreshing for a bl, including like real physical affection that's not immediately sexual

  • We Best Love: The Runner-Up Strikes Back

    10. We Best Love: The Runner-Up Strikes Back

    Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes

    9.0

    wbl second season, with a timeskip... a whole new barrel of bl tropes to tackle and it does it quite well. impressive performances from the leads.

  • Ping Pong

    11. Ping Pong

    Chinese Drama - 2021, 44 episodes

    8.5

    cn adaptation of the ping pong anime; there's some unnecessary things that drag it out more than necessary, but overall a quite good sports anime adaptation. bjt is especially good here.

  • You Are My Glory

    12. You Are My Glory

    Chinese Drama - 2021, 32 episodes

    8.5

    WHOLESOME. once they get it together, probably the healthiest, most functional relationship i've ever seen in a cdrama? the bar is low, but this couple is really cute. one of the better romance dramas out there, even if the genre didn't just sort of inherently suck.

  • Light on Series: The Bad Kids

    13. Light on Series: The Bad Kids

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 12 episodes

    9.0

    brilliant, but not something i would want to rewatch often... but i need to rewatch it at least once at some point, since i apparently missed a whole lot of what was going on with ycy the first time around.

  • Hen Jun Bu Si Jiang Lou Yue

    14. Hen Jun Bu Si Jiang Lou Yue

    Chinese Drama - 2021, 37 episodes

    7.5

    i reject the tragic ending but mzj is quite good here.

  • S.C.I

    15. S.C.I

    Chinese Drama - 2018, 24 episodes

    7.0

    actual plot is muddy but the cast has good chemistry. i love that they censored this by making the leads an old married couple. didn't know who gao hanyu was when i watched it, then didn't realize it was him after i watched call me by fire until i ran across it again. 

  • My Girl

    16. My Girl

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes

    7.5

    i literally have no idea how i enjoyed this between the absurd premise and the Extremely Questionable Depiction of Mental Illness, but i did. the penny-pinching charisma-less ml is funny.

  • Love O2O

    17. Love O2O

    Chinese Drama - 2016, 30 episodes

    7.0

    technically i only watched like half of this, but it was weirdly charming despite also being full of stuff i find annoying af.
