Oh my goshh! I love Chinese dramas. I don't watch many tbh. But #2 is amazing. I'm currently checking out the one where Dilraba is the main character, the pillow book one! It's adorable so far!!!KristyKhem wrote: ↑27 Mar 2021, 20:56 I love Asian dramas too! I watch mostly Korean and Chinese romance dramas. I was motivated to move to China because of my interest in the culture there! I haven't seen the ones you enjoyed, but I'll look them up. I'll list my favorite ones below. Most of the Chinese dramas feature my favorite actress (Dilraba Dilmurat) so if you watch any of the C dramas on my list, she'll be in it [LOL].
1. Goblin (K-drama)
2. Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, also known as Eternal Love (C-drama)
3. Pretty Li Huizhen (C-drama)
4. The King's Woman (C-drama)
5. Cinderella and Four Knights (K-drama)
6. Cinderella Chef (C-drama)
7. Hotel Del Luna (K-drama)
8. Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (K-drama)
I'll have to check out your other recommendations.
I've seen 1,2,5, and 8. I am curious about 3 and 4!

I watched the Pillow Book! It was a very cute drama, a little light compared to Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms where Dilraba and Vengo Gao also acted. #3 is a modern drama but it is so funny! I watched the whole series on Youtube a while back. #4 is a darker romance with Dilraba as the lead. It's about a King who has many mistresses, but when he found Dilraba, he wanted her no matter what, so he forced her into the palace and made her his mistress. He didn't care that she was in love with someone else. She absolutely hates him at first. It's a love/hate romance, with a lot of trickery and betrayal among the mistresses.

I will 100% check them both out! If you got any more recommendations that would be great! I find it hard to choose xD. After I finish the pillowbook, I will pick up the kings woman +pretty li. (King's woman sounds oh-my-god amazing!) I haven't seen many honestly. I think about 10 series. I tend to take my time and enjoy them slowly

10 is a lot! I think you will love The King's Woman! Sometimes I want to take my time and watch them slowly but I always end up impatiently binge-watching them. I've started watching Dilraba's newest drama - The Long Ballad. I'm only on the 2nd episode so the story is still forming. There's another nice romantic drama called The Flame's Daughter.

I just watched Memories of the Alhambria and I'm dying.
This felt a lot like My Holo Love to me (but with much larger stakes) and I loved every moment of it.
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

A friend of mine moved to Korea with her husband and she got me hooked through Goblin.
There is just something about the K-drama veering from the normative Hollywood style that makes them attractive.
I do, however, need to be in an energetic enough mood to be patient with subtitles
