2020 Chinese Dramas I've Watched

This is in *rough* order of how much I loved them, which is difficult because there are different genres and my ranking is influenced by whether I loved the acting, the romance, the characters, supporting storylines, aesthetics. If overall the drama was weak but the chemistry was amazing, I still might rank it higher than a drama that checked all the boxes but failed to resonate with me.

Note: "Dropped" means I actively decided to stop watching for a reason, while "lost interest" means I just didn't feel strongly either way and stopped watching.

  • Love and Redemption

    1. Love and Redemption

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 59 episodes

    9.0
  • Go Ahead

    2. Go Ahead

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 46 episodes

    9.5

    100% a contender for my favorite c-drama of the year. Remember when I said keep an eye out for Steven Zhang??? He's great here. Tan Songyun cements her status as one of my favorite actresses. Song Weilong is great, too, and I can't decide if I liked him here more or in Find Yourself more, but I definitely recommend both!

  • Light on Series: The Bad Kids

    3. Light on Series: The Bad Kids

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 12 episodes

    9.5

    This is so different from any other c-drama I've watched. Definitely not an idol drama. Thought-provoking and atmospheric.

  • Find Yourself

    4. Find Yourself

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 41 episodes

    8.5

    Really enjoyed it! Funny and relatable.

  • Eternal Love of Dream

    5. Eternal Love of Dream

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 56 episodes

    9.5

    I have a soft spot for the love story between the main characters. I wouldn't consider this my favorite and it's not the "best" drama but it brings me joy to rewatch some of their scenes together!

    Also,  I'm sorry but I will never be able to think of Vengo Gao without visualizing his white hair.

  • The Sleepless Princess

    6. The Sleepless Princess

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 35 episodes

    8.0

    Hu Yi Xian is so lovable as the female lead  and her smile will light up your screen. Great chemistry with Zhang Yecheng and I loved their relationship. Plot was weak though, the zodiac premise confused me.

  • Love Is Sweet

    7. Love Is Sweet

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 36 episodes

    8.5

    This is a reeeeally tropey romance, I didn't love the dynamic between the leads at the beginning but Luo Yunxi and Bai Lu were both really funny, had great chemistry and a lot of really cute scenes. The final episodes were terrible though.

  • The Centimeter of Love

    8. The Centimeter of Love

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 46 episodes

    Loved the maturity of the two main characters, but their families were so stressful.

  • My Girl

    9. My Girl

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes

    8.5

    Fun (if you can suspend your disbelief) but the last episodes felt messy. Li Jia Qin impressed me with her acting and this drama did make me laugh out loud a loud.

  • Fate

    10. Fate

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 40 episodes

    8.5

    Ok, this drama was especially terrible in the latter half BUT I loved Li Yitong and I did like the relationship between the main characters.

  • Il Lupo

    11. Il Lupo

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 49 episodes

    6.0

    I know this seems like a low ranking but such a popular drama that people rave about... but this was a miss for me. I didn't feel moved by the love story.

  • Rose in the Storm

    12. Rose in the Storm

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 40 episodes

    6.5

    *currently watching* (placeholder ranking)

  • Love Designer

    13. Love Designer

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 45 episodes

    7.0

    I have low expectations for modern dramas. The first half of this is stronger than the latter half. The main romance is sweet. Supporting character storylines are woefully underdeveloped. 

  • Feng Gui Si Shi Ge

    14. Feng Gui Si Shi Ge

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 34 episodes

    I know it's not the best and the female lead is somewhat silly and always pouting, the male lead is always catching her. But, I just really really enjoyed it??? I think they're so cute and love their dynamic. 

  • Skate Into Love

    15. Skate Into Love

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 40 episodes

    8.0

    Pretty good for a modern drama, but not particularly memorable. Will keep an eye out for Steven Zhang's future dramas though.

  • Love in Shanghai

    16. Love in Shanghai

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 36 episodes

    7.5

    Felt like this drama was trying too hard but I did love the storyline with Victoria Song and Tony Yang's characters!

  • Rebirth of Shopping Addict

    17. Rebirth of Shopping Addict

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 44 episodes

    6.5

    Just ok... wasn't a fan of the romance.

  • Guarda lassú c'è la luce stellare

    18. Guarda lassú c'è la luce stellare

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 40 episodes

    Oh my gosh, NO. The ridiculous way this melodrama went in circles again and again. The ending was so underwhelming, and I can't believe they actually killed off one of the best characters.

  • Dear Designer

    19. Dear Designer

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 38 episodes

    This was so awful and I recommend it to absolutely no one.

  • Nothing But Thirty

    20. Nothing But Thirty

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 43 episodes

    Only watched two episodes but might pick up later! just wasn't the right time.

  • The Romance of Tiger and Rose

    21. The Romance of Tiger and Rose

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes

    Lost interest. Frequently with this genre, I love it initially and then lose interest halfway through... and that happened here too so I haven't finished it (but did watch the final episode, lol). The premise is SO interesting, I love that women hold the power in this city.  I have mixed feelings about Zhao Lusi and feel like I always want to like her dramas more than I do. I liked Ding Yu Xi here after being underwhelmed by his acting in Intense Love.

    Although, I wish that for once, the story would return to modern day and develop there as well.

  • Maiden Holmes

    22. Maiden Holmes

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 32 episodes

    Lost interest. I tried it and it was fine, but stopped watching it.

  • Xia Ye Zhi Jun Nuan

    23. Xia Ye Zhi Jun Nuan

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes

    Lost interest. I watched half of this as a filler drama... but once other dramas started I dropped it.

  • The Moon Bright For You

    24. The Moon Bright For You

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 36 episodes

    Lost interest. I like Xing Fei but her acting felt out of place here. The way she kept smiling?

  • Way Back Into Love

    25. Way Back Into Love

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 26 episodes

    Lost interest. Felt like a filler drama.

  • Mr. Perfect and Miss Almost

    26. Mr. Perfect and Miss Almost

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes

    Lost interest. Female lead was just TOO naive and made poor choices in the beginning... I do hear positive things about it so might finish it at some point.

  • The Moment My Heart Beats

    27. The Moment My Heart Beats

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes

    Lost interest. Zhang Ling He, who stars in Maiden Holmes, also stars in this, and I do like him.

  • We Started Dating From Marriage

    28. We Started Dating From Marriage

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 35 episodes

    Dropped. I would consider picking this back up, but I was just so turned off by the female lead's behavior in the beginning. 

  • Ragazza

    29. Ragazza

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 36 episodes

    Dropped. Initially I thought this was fun and thought it might be this year's My Girlfriend is an Alien. I was excited to see the actor who plays the male lead after his great supporting role in Story of Yanxi Palace. I like that the female lead  stands up for herself. But, the male lead is just so immature! Perhaps will return to it eventually.

    Also, I've seen too many of these rising starlet & CEO storylines.

  • Mr Honesty

    30. Mr Honesty

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 31 episodes

    Dropped, after 19 episodes. Amazed I stuck through it that long.

  • Intense Love

    31. Intense Love

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes

    Dropped. I have never been able to watch any of this female actress's dramas. There's something about her or the type of characters she always plays that I can't stand. I tried this out of curiosity but dropped it because I couldn't stand the instalove premise.

  • It's Not That I Can't Marry

    32. It's Not That I Can't Marry

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 40 episodes

  • We Are All Alone

    33. We Are All Alone

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 36 episodes

  • The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion

    34. The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 40 episodes

    Pass. I was really excited for this reunion of the Legend of Yun Xi leads but after I heard about how lacking the plot was, I decided it wasn't worth it.

  • Love of Thousand Years

    35. Love of Thousand Years

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 30 episodes

    Pass. Didn't catch my eye, not a Zhao Lusi fan.
