High School and College Cdramas
School dramas I have watched and enjoyed.
-
1. Love O2O
Chinese Drama - 2016, 30 episodes
One of the first Cdramas I ever watched. Set during college years, it features a couple that meets via online gaming. Light fluffy and with a wide array of likable side characters. I like that this drama follows the main couple even after they get together and college ends.

2. Skate Into Love
Chinese Drama - 2020, 40 episodes
Fun and engaging college sports drama about two childhood friends that unexpectedly reunite in college. One is a hockey star and the other quit speed skating after an accident but thinks she may wish to pursue it again. The show is sweet and upbeatand also has a memorable cast

3. Forever Love
Chinese Drama - 2020, 28 episodes
Drama follows a group of friends from high schoolto college. The first episode gives away the coupleendings but the journey is what makes it enjoyable. I loved the relationship between the main leads once they become a couple even if I didn’t like the secondary couple as much. Healthy relationship between the main leads which is refreshing

4. A River Runs Through It
Chinese Drama - 2021, 36 episodes
Drama follows a group of friends from high schoolto college. The main lead (Richards Wang) does a fabulous job as a gruff and prickly male who falls for the girl next door and slowly softens over time. The female lead is charming. The show drags a bit in the middle and there are a number of unnecessary misunderstandings but overall an enjoyable watch
-
5. Sweet Tai Chi
Chinese Drama - 2019, 24 episodes
School sports drama with fantasy elements revolving around a tai chi clan. The storyline gets messy towards the end (and the last few episodes feel less like a school drama and more like a morph into a scene from Mortal Kombat) but for some reasonI enjoyed it so much I wasn’t bothered by the plot holes.
-
6. My Unicorn Girl
Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
Another fun college sports drama involving a cross dressing female lead. The main lead is cute and the drama is generally fun but not at the caliber of “Skate into Love.”
-
7. My Huckleberry Friends
Chinese Drama - 2017, 30 episodes
High school drama that is more serious than the first two I listed.
-
8. With You
Chinese Drama - 2016, 24 episodes
Bittersweet school drama
-
9. Don't Think of Interrupting My Studies
Chinese Drama - 2021, 24 episodes
School drama featuring a female lead who knows so much it is almost like she was sent back in time from the future… was she really? It took me a few episodes to warm up to the female lead and to understand why the main lead (or anyone) would like her but I came around. I also had second lead syndrome in this one though I like that unnecessary melodrama was kept to a minimum. There was a real focus on how miserable the gakao process is for students in China and I like the themes about making the most of your time and trying to create memories you won’t regret later. Last episode wrap up felt like a bit of a cop out but I enjoyed the seriesanyway

10. The Love Equations
Chinese Drama - 2020, 27 episodes
Typical college drama redeemed by the entertaining hobbies of the female lead and the fact that Simon Gong is ridiculously good looking and I’m only slightly ashamed to say a major saving grace ofthe drama is how much fun it is to watch him. There is a breakup and time skip I felt was unnecessarybut still generally enjoyed the drama
