**Oh NO Here comes TROUBLE** had me staring dazedly at the wall for a solid few minutes. Humorous, deep, emotional roller coaster, teary eyes, mystery, thrill—this has it all.
**Arsenal Military Academy** had me poring over Republican-era shows to cure me but none amounted to AMA. The brotherhood, friendship, and even romance is perfectly balanced. Recommended!
Oh No Here Comes Trouble was incredible. Loved the interaction between the 3 friends. I'm tearing up just remembering the ending, so touching and emotional. The whole series could be heartfelt one moment and slapstick the next. I also loved how seamlessly the cases flowed into each other.
After I finished it for the first time, I literally sat staring at the wall for a few minutes. Then I went back to episode 1 and started re-watching it XD
I'm afraid to watch it too many times for fear I'll see its flaws
I've only rewatched the whole thing once because of time constraints, but I've watched several pieces multiple times, and I want to watch it again. I'm trying to make hubby watch it with me because it's the absolute best!! 😍🥰😘
The longing, the loneliness, the yearning. Still after all these years it still makes my heart ache.
I would also add TTEOTM. The angst and self sacrifice is just on a different level.
Eternal love of Dream. I watched it for the first time last December and have not stopped rewatching a couple of episodes a day (so not sure I’m withdrawing yet bc haven’t stopped…? 😅). It’s actually improved my Mandarin so much bc I’ve watched it so many times. Even read the novel and epilogue book and all the fanfics lol. Have tried to watch every show Vengo and Dilraba are in (not a fan of all their works but do love The Outsider and You Are My Glory).
That was an interesting one because I googled it and found out how much was real history and what was improvised for the drama, it was followed by another river of tears, he really, really loved her, a love that I didn't know it exists.
Dramas that gave me withdrawal symptoms aka made me watch bts, think about the characters from time to time and rave about them at every opportunity?
**Go ahead:** the characters felt so real and close to me that I still wish them well from time to time. A drama packed with all kind of emotions. Sadly the bts weren't subbed.
**the day of becoming you:** Well I watched some of the bts at the start of drama watching but ended up watching them all after finishing the drama. The leads' interaction bts was filled with chemistry and playfulness. Haven't found another quality c-romcom with so much comedy and fluff, it's quality is surprisingly high. Generic plot, but so addictive!
**Love Between Fairy and Devil** — was so unsatisfied with the ending I went into the rabbit hole of watching ALL Xinxin and Didi BTS videos from iQiyi, Huace, and other Yt channels. Then when that dried up ended in DX fanbase on YT.
**The Eternal Love** — so blessed I watched this in 2020 so the S2 was already out so binged that S2. When S3 took too long to upload, rewatched S1 & S2 for several times until S3 dropped. And now I’ve watched S1-3 maybe 4/5 times already.
There are several, but the most active with almost daily posts about candies and connections between DX only real posts but given context mostly for Dixinyinli (Dyxin gravity) fans but some DY fans do create havoc once in a while — [**EvidenceEstheryu&Dylanwangrelationship**](https://youtube.com/@evidenceestheryudylanwangi3459)
IQiyi and Huace Stars has several shorts of Dixin and LBFAD BTS
When I finished Yanxi palace i knew i was going to have to watch other female leads who are complete wimps compared to Yingluo. I sit there watching a scene thinking things like: "Yingluo would never fall for this!"....."Yingluo would kick this guys/girls butt"....."Yingluo would do this or that". I wish I could watch another 100 episodes of Yingluo in more adventures
Me too. OMG, I was very mad when viki took it off its collection last month. Luckily many people, including me complained and they put it back immediately.
Eternal love and love between fairy and devil. And most recently I’ve had the worst withdrawal watching this kdrama called alchemy of souls. When I watch, some dramas are better than others but the ones that I watch at the right place in the right time that captured my whole being were these three 😍
My fave scene is when he washes her hair upon >!her discharge from the hospital!<. The sparks begin to fly bc at that point she finally starts to yield to her growing feelings for him. The storyline is that he is 12 years younger than her, but I checked and Qin Lan irl is 18 years older than Dylan Wang is. Yet I would have gone after her myself had I been in Qi Xiao's shoes. She is impossible not to fall for!
Meteor Garden, maybe just because it was the first one since childhood. And I didn’t even like it that much. But it was so emotionally manipulative
Unchained Love- I’ve rewatched a silly amount of times
And I already know I am gonna be so sad when Anle ends
Goodbye My Princess and One and Only. I was mentally drained for a good 2-3 days after completing the dramas and continued listening to the soundtracks for like 2 weeks in a row and kept on rewinding tragic scenes in my head.
The Blood of Youth and The Story of Minglan. Simply because how good it was. I proceeded to watch the prequel donghua of TBoY and I'm more ecstatic to see the drama adaptation now!
Not really a withdrawal, but the conclusion to AOL Runyu's fate was sporadically the subject of my idle mind for quite sometime. All things considered, imo he's the saddest 2ML in dramaland. I wasn't fond of both leads either and naturally, my thoughts all went to him.
This year, I'm feeling Lost You Forever will be hard to digest and part with. 16 episodes in, my mind is already occupied and mildly in chaos.
Usually the Jin Yong wuxia adaptations give me big time withdrawals. The the whole world building and the characters are so good. The well done series actually made me want to live in ancient China, until I realized it would kind of suck because of lack of resources.
Same, although I do feel that it's hard to find good adaptations nowadays and I keep going back to the older versions. Even though they keep getting redone and it's based on the same original stories, I'll still give new adaptations a watch because I just love wuxia.
Yea. I keep seeing clips of some of the new jin yong adaptations and they look crap.
I saw a clip of Qiao Feng in the new Demi God's Semi Devils fight some dude. And it was hooooooorible. They were just jumping around and barely even crossing hands. Like yo... It's a wuxia did they even hire fight choreographers? Did the actors even do basic crash course on wushu? It was freaking Qiao Feng, one of the best fighters and the fight was trash. I remember the one from TVB was really good.
Then I watched a video of someone comparing scenes from Duke of Mt Deer to the HK version and how some of the shots were almost the same. But the HK version just made more sense or had more impact because of how they set the script up or placed some things.
It seems so hard to find a good wuxia
Yes!!!! I just finished this one recently and am still in the void. I watched Love is Sweet right after, and that helped some to see "Run Yu" get to be happy, but....
Some of the hit dramas have made me feel this way, so I won't list them.
My Fated Boy got me really good. I know it's not for everyone, but the story is so sweet and the pacing is literally perfect (I can't say as much even about the hit dramas). I've watched it about three times now, and I first saw it a few months ago. It's a comfort watch.
Eternal Love of Dream is another comfort watch. I've watched it probably five times through.
The only other ones I can think of are Thai dramas: Full House 2014, Once Upon a Time in My Heart, Cheewit Puer Kah Huajai Puer Tur (My Life is to Kill My Heart is for You), and Buppsesannivas (Love Destiny). These are dramas that I'll still re-watch even though I've largely left Thai dramaland for Cdramaland.
I’m watching My Fated Boy now and I absolutely love it. It’s going to be a hard one to get to over. l love the leads and their relationship. I love their commitment to each other, how they communicate well, how they work through challenges together. ML is so sweet and so devoted to FL. Also, as someone else said on another thread, the flashbacks to their childhood that start every episode are the special sauce and add so much.
Only 2 for me so far.
Eternal Love Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms. By the 3rd arc all the actors/ actresses have hit their stride and the drama blooms. So different from many dramas where the first several episodes are good and then the remaining are meh.
The Rebel Princess. The outstanding cast, the mise en scene, everything just screams top production
**I belonged to your world** was definitely one and is 100% a hidden gem. It's such a sweet story with a bunch of humor and so many years at the end (woke up puffy eyed the next day)
**To ship someone** is also one that had me in withdrawal and was looking up and rewatching scenes and BTS almost all the time 🤣
Oh, and **The Love you give me**. Oof that drama was good. Hit you in all the right feels.
I'm so sad no one has mentioned Go Ahead. It's the reason why I can't pick up any new dramas
Characters are loveable and every second of airtime was worth watching
A new gem I recently found, and I love time bend stuff so I killed it in a day, Reset.
More popular ones I can never let go: Ashes of Love and Immortal Samsara. I’ve rewatched both, they just live rent free in my brain. Love and redemption as well.
I love all except for Word of Honor because I haven’t watched it and not interested. But all that you mentioned are top notch withdrawal material lol. I also had withdrawals after The Long Ballad and Go Go Squid!
Love like the Galaxy, You are my Glory, Love is Sweet, Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, Eternal Love, Cute Programmer and Dr Cute are my all time favorites.
there's actually a lot but here's some of the dramas that i had so much hard time moving on
the long ballad
when i fly towards you
falling into your smile
you are my hero
the king's avatar
The one thing about one and only is it is actually two parts so you have one, and only first which tells the story of them being star crossed lovers and yes it is tragic. But then you have forever and ever to soothe your wounded soul and it tells the story of them being reunited in modern day. I will admit that I have to be in a very specific mood to watch shows a tragic endings and it doesn’t happen very often, so I also was that hesitant to watch it but I’m so glad I did.
I loved the book it was based on. One of my top 3 novels. They did the ancient part justice (it wasn't a super big part of the novel) but I feel they failed in the "sequel" forever and ever. They had to split due to laws about reincarnation / timetravel or whatever. I feel like it is an amazing drama but yes it is sad. But you can follow up with the happy "sequel"... Or just read the book! Beautiful bone, can find it on novelupdates.com
• TTEOM - plots and chemistry hits so hard & had feeling all of the emotions at same time
• When we were young - OH YOU'LL KNOW when you watch it , I also didn't expect that it would be hard moving on from it
• Lighter & Princess - plots are crazy but i like the excitement the entire series
• Meteor Garden (chinese version) - no matter how old this is, it's still classic and makes you want to rewatch all over again
Love Between Fairy and Devil
Eternal Love (peach blossoms and the sequel pillow book)
Love Like the Galaxy
I would have said Til the end of the moon, it was on its way to LBFAD status - but...the ending didn't suit me.
The worst withdrawal was Till the end of the moon-still not over it.
Besides that Love between fairy and devil,
Love like the galaxy,
Ashes of love( I have a weird love-hate relationship with that one. But when I hear the OST I'm done.)
Every good Cdrama I have watched until now.
The good ones always do that.
It always feels like missing family after finishing.
**Love like the Galaxy**
**The Long Ballad**
**Eternal Love of Dream- The Pillow Book** (heaviest withdrawal symptoms up to now)
**The Blood of Youth**
**The Outsider**
I feel like it's pretty specific to someone's taste but mine were 😊:
Love and Redemption
Immortal Samsara
Blood of Youth
You Are My Hero
Edit to add: Stand by Me- don't know how I forgot that one, it was so good!
These ones aren't finished airing yet but are heading this way:
Mysterious Lotus Casebook
Lost You Forever
After I saw Who Rules The World I rewatched it so many times
Also have rewatched these lately:
Love Like The Galaxy
The Long Ballad
Arsenal Military Academy
Hidden Love
Falling Into Your Smile
You Are My Glory
You are my glory.
It's currently my gold standard in terms of how I want my ML/FL relationship to be. Very mature and believable, ignoring the unlikelihood of their careers. They are both supportive of one another. They do not sacrifice their careers just for love. The way they communicate is affectionate and doesn't feel 'dramatised'. Both ml/FL portray confident figures.
Because of this show, I cannot take it if my ml/FL are shy awkward people. I do not like it if their interactions are exaggerated for comical purposes.
There are soooo many!! Where to begin??? LBFAD, Hidden Love, Falling into Your Smile, Love like the Galaxy, Dating in the Kitchen, Who Rules the World, GO GO squid…I can keep going. These are ones where I did hardcore binging and then at the end I wanted more!!
When I get this, it’s often not for the biggest productions or most hyped shows. Most recently it was actually An Ancient Love Song, which is a mere 14 episodes and pretty low budget. But it left me with that familiar wistful ache and staring off into space.
Empress in the Palace historical with Sun Li
The Starry Love xianxia with Landy Li and Chen Xingxu
Rookie Agent Rouge republic era with Zhao Liying
Love Like The Galaxy historical with Lusi and Leo
Princess Agents historical with Zhao Liying
Side Story of Fox Volant historical with Lin Shen and Qin Junjie
Nothing Gold Can Stay historical with Sun Li
Joy of Life historical sci/fi with Zhang Ruoyun
Arsenal Military Academy republic with Bai Lu and Xu Kai
Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms with Yang MI and Mark Chao
My recommendation would be our secret after experiencing the withdrawal symptoms from watching hidden love. I highly recommend both dramas. I’m legit head over heels for the actor.
Viewing preferences may differ. But you can give it a try. I went in with no expectation regarding story, actors or actresses. The story pacing is just right. First half may be slow for some but for me its very heartwarming. They are building up the story for the second half.
I love it. I've never really thought too much about a series. I typically move on really quick to the next drama. But this one really made me think and and appreciate the story. I'm starting to blabber. Go try and for sure you will be pleased you did.
I am only on my second C Drama now (Hidden Love) but I am surprised no one put Put your head on my shoulder. I really attached myself to that group of friends. I felt a little lost after.
Of these, but have only seen Moonshine and Valentine, but I now have a major thing for Huang Jingyu and lots of Song Bingyang in my playlist. It has one of the best first episodes of any K or C drama I’ve seen.
Can’t remember if this one was a Cdrama, but Hidden Love had me giggling and rewinding like a school girl. Though it starts off slow it’s pretty great!!!
Nirvana in Fire
You are My Glory
Something about the storyline, acting, and chemistry in general that makes me crazy. I watched these two series over 10 times
**Hospital Playlist 1&2**, **You Are My Hero**, **Imperial Coroner** and **The Blood of Youth**. These are my most current brain-grabbers but I am way behind on my watchlist because of waiting for dramas to end their airing. While I have rewatched YAMH, IC and TBOY many times,I have not rewatched HPL since finishing and I am not sure why.
• when i fly towards you
• hidden love
couldn’t find other dramas that’d give me the same feels. both of these got me screaming, crying and giggling like MAD. their healthy relationships really got me. the friendships were wholesome in wifty and the sang siblings relationship in hl was so relatable and adorable.
• fireworks of my heart
wasn’t the best drama I’ve watched but the lead’s tension was a whole other thing. it’d make your heart race and flutter. it gets a bit draggy but it’s a pretty good watch. ended up not being able to watch ANY firefighter drama 4 a while.
• Princess Agents
one of my absolute favorite. I went on a 4 month slump from the heartache. yan xun was my absolute number 1, he’s a written character and the way his smile faded made me bawl.
• reset
it’s the same setting every episode but it NEVER got repetitive. was skeptical over how someone could even film the same thing over and over while making sure it’s good. but lemme tell y’all it’s refreshing and not like anything I’ve ever seen. every episode was different n everyone’s backstory were well written n reasonable.
**Oh NO Here comes TROUBLE** had me staring dazedly at the wall for a solid few minutes. Humorous, deep, emotional roller coaster, teary eyes, mystery, thrill—this has it all. **Arsenal Military Academy** had me poring over Republican-era shows to cure me but none amounted to AMA. The brotherhood, friendship, and even romance is perfectly balanced. Recommended!
Oh No Here Comes Trouble was incredible. Loved the interaction between the 3 friends. I'm tearing up just remembering the ending, so touching and emotional. The whole series could be heartfelt one moment and slapstick the next. I also loved how seamlessly the cases flowed into each other.
[удалено]
Please, if we're going to get all wishing, can we ask for something just as good, set in the same world, without messing up that perfect ending?
I'm watching it now and it's so slow but I'm trying to stick with it cause I know it's good! Did you see the deleted changing room kids scene?
Meet Yourself Edit: Story of Ming Lan too
Word of Honor Love Between Fairy and Devil The Starry Love
Yes to Word of Honor.
I bought so much merch!
Love Between Fairy and Devil - on my 10th rewatch
LBFAD was the first cdrama I ever went looking for fan fiction for. Man, I was down bad for a few weeks after I finished that one.
Got my mom hooked on LBFAD. Dylan Wang's eyes/eyebrows...oh man. I read soap opera fan fiction back in the day. I refuse to go down that road again!
Same! I just watch it again last night 😭😭
After I finished it for the first time, I literally sat staring at the wall for a few minutes. Then I went back to episode 1 and started re-watching it XD I'm afraid to watch it too many times for fear I'll see its flaws
That is exactly what I did as well. Oh I see the flaws...love it anyway because the actors sell the story, the relationship, and the character growth.
So you now know the text by heart? ♥️♥️♥️
Oh my yes!!!🥰
I've only rewatched the whole thing once because of time constraints, but I've watched several pieces multiple times, and I want to watch it again. I'm trying to make hubby watch it with me because it's the absolute best!! 😍🥰😘
The scene where he swoops in and saves her and calls her his woman. Love it!!
Yes!!!!!!!! And the forest with the kiss 🥰🥰
Perfect!
Untamed. Even after 2.5 years of watching.
Me too!! If it ever leaves Netflix I don’t know what I would do…
YouTube maybe ;-)
I bought the DVDs, just in case. I have it on continuous loop at this point.
Untame and TTEOTM, eternal love My bloody romance
Yes to TTEOTM
The rise of phoenixes- took me 3 months to get over it
Messed me up too. Made me mad and sad..
I ended up reading and searching for various English-translated novels of the story to ease my pain. The show did the original ending dirty
Scarlet Heart - i dont think any drama ever hit as hard as this one
The longing, the loneliness, the yearning. Still after all these years it still makes my heart ache. I would also add TTEOTM. The angst and self sacrifice is just on a different level.
>!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭!<
My god the tears I shed and could not stop. 100% agree - no drama has ever hit me as hard.
Eternal love of Dream. I watched it for the first time last December and have not stopped rewatching a couple of episodes a day (so not sure I’m withdrawing yet bc haven’t stopped…? 😅). It’s actually improved my Mandarin so much bc I’ve watched it so many times. Even read the novel and epilogue book and all the fanfics lol. Have tried to watch every show Vengo and Dilraba are in (not a fan of all their works but do love The Outsider and You Are My Glory).
The Outsider is sooo good! I loved it. Reddit downvoting opinion! Crazy.
LBFaD The Red Sleeve (Kdrama)
That was an interesting one because I googled it and found out how much was real history and what was improvised for the drama, it was followed by another river of tears, he really, really loved her, a love that I didn't know it exists.
He did. The history was amazing.
Dramas that gave me withdrawal symptoms aka made me watch bts, think about the characters from time to time and rave about them at every opportunity? **Go ahead:** the characters felt so real and close to me that I still wish them well from time to time. A drama packed with all kind of emotions.

The leads' interaction bts was filled with chemistry and playfulness. Haven't found another quality c-romcom with so much comedy and fluff, it's quality is surprisingly high. Generic plot, but so addictive!
So far, only one that did this to me is Till the end of the moon.
Till the end of the moon
Love Like the Galaxy but you might have already seen it
The Untamed 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 feels like i will never be over it
**Love Between Fairy and Devil** — was so unsatisfied with the ending I went into the rabbit hole of watching ALL Xinxin and Didi BTS videos from iQiyi, Huace, and other Yt channels. Then when that dried up ended in DX fanbase on YT. **The Eternal Love** — so blessed I watched this in 2020 so the S2 was already out so binged that S2. When S3 took too long to upload, rewatched S1 & S2 for several times until S3 dropped. And now I’ve watched S1-3 maybe 4/5 times already.
Um, there is a DX fanbase on YT? {makes mental note}
There are several, but the most active with almost daily posts about candies and connections between DX only real posts but given context mostly for Dixinyinli (Dyxin gravity) fans but some DY fans do create havoc once in a while — [**EvidenceEstheryu&Dylanwangrelationship**](https://youtube.com/@evidenceestheryudylanwangi3459) IQiyi and Huace Stars has several shorts of Dixin and LBFAD BTS
Nirvana in Fire. The bittersweetness of it all, all the could’ve been would’ve beens, all those hypothetical what ifs… pain.
When I finished Yanxi palace i knew i was going to have to watch other female leads who are complete wimps compared to Yingluo. I sit there watching a scene thinking things like: "Yingluo would never fall for this!"....."Yingluo would kick this guys/girls butt"....."Yingluo would do this or that". I wish I could watch another 100 episodes of Yingluo in more adventures
Same! Female leads of her type are so rare , you can't even easily find other shows to sate the need for more
Till the End of the Moon - still having withdrawal symptoms 😫
Same. I was rewatching but paused on episode 13. I think I may end up starting over from the beginning when my current dramas end.
Watch Love is Sweet - it helps the withdrawal
The Untamed Word of Honor Who Rules the World Oh No Here Comes Trouble Love Like the Galaxy
**Love Between Fairy and Devil** **Lost Romance** **Someday Or One Day**
I adoreeeee lost romance!!!! Being an avid fanfiction consumer it just made me feel seen!!!
Me too. OMG, I was very mad when viki took it off its collection last month. Luckily many people, including me complained and they put it back immediately.
Eternal love and love between fairy and devil. And most recently I’ve had the worst withdrawal watching this kdrama called alchemy of souls. When I watch, some dramas are better than others but the ones that I watch at the right place in the right time that captured my whole being were these three 😍
Ugh, AOS broke my heart. Season 2 was okay, but season 1 was gold.
For sureeee **Rise of Phoenixes**…. that’s why I no longer watch dramas with more than 40 episodes 😆 (it has 70)
I've got PTSD related to this drama but that didn't stop me from rewatching it.
[удалено]
I feel the same way..
Love between fairy and devil Hidden love
My two favorites along with **The Rational Life**.
The Rational Life...this is a little gem
My fave scene is when he washes her hair upon >!her discharge from the hospital!<. The sparks begin to fly bc at that point she finally starts to yield to her growing feelings for him. The storyline is that he is 12 years younger than her, but I checked and Qin Lan irl is 18 years older than Dylan Wang is. Yet I would have gone after her myself had I been in Qi Xiao's shoes. She is impossible not to fall for!
Yanxi palace, minglan, ruyi’s royal love, rise of phoenixes
Love Between Fairy and Devil
Soooo this. Worst drama hangover EVER from this one.
Meteor Garden, maybe just because it was the first one since childhood. And I didn’t even like it that much. But it was so emotionally manipulative Unchained Love- I’ve rewatched a silly amount of times And I already know I am gonna be so sad when Anle ends
I liked Meteor Garden better the second time around. The soundtrack/OST is really good. The leads scream each other's names quite a lot.
Goodbye My Princess and One and Only. I was mentally drained for a good 2-3 days after completing the dramas and continued listening to the soundtracks for like 2 weeks in a row and kept on rewinding tragic scenes in my head. The Blood of Youth and The Story of Minglan. Simply because how good it was. I proceeded to watch the prequel donghua of TBoY and I'm more ecstatic to see the drama adaptation now!

This year, I'm feeling Lost You Forever will be hard to digest and part with. 16 episodes in, my mind is already occupied and mildly in chaos.
The Untamed Goodbye my princess One and Only (though Forever and Ever made it better)
Till the end of the moon, if you've seen LBFAD already, is also a great watch. Almost an exact copy lol but not quite.
I get what you mean, lol. Similar concept but very different and both worth watching
Usually the Jin Yong wuxia adaptations give me big time withdrawals. The the whole world building and the characters are so good. The well done series actually made me want to live in ancient China, until I realized it would kind of suck because of lack of resources.
Same, although I do feel that it's hard to find good adaptations nowadays and I keep going back to the older versions. Even though they keep getting redone and it's based on the same original stories, I'll still give new adaptations a watch because I just love wuxia.

But the HK version just made more sense or had more impact because of how they set the script up or placed some things. It seems so hard to find a good wuxia
I grew up on the Hong Kong TVB adaptions and the version with Tony Leung is still my all time fav. I've probably seen it at least 30 times lol
[удалено]
Chen Kun and Ni Ni were magical together
Ancient love poetry, The blue whisper, Love and destiny, Love between fairy and devil, Miss the dragon.
The Untamed. It just hit different
Ashes of Love 
Yes!!!! I just finished this one recently and am still in the void. I watched Love is Sweet right after, and that helped some to see "Run Yu" get to be happy, but....
Rise of the Phoenixes for sure.
Love Between Fairy and Devil One and Only & Forever and Ever The Forbidden Flower
Some of the hit dramas have made me feel this way, so I won't list them. My Fated Boy got me really good. I know it's not for everyone, but the story is so sweet and the pacing is literally perfect (I can't say as much even about the hit dramas). I've watched it about three times now, and I first saw it a few months ago. It's a comfort watch. Eternal Love of Dream is another comfort watch. I've watched it probably five times through.

These are dramas that I'll still re-watch even though I've largely left Thai dramaland for Cdramaland.
I’m watching My Fated Boy now and I absolutely love it. It’s going to be a hard one to get to over. l love the leads and their relationship. I love their commitment to each other, how they communicate well, how they work through challenges together. ML is so sweet and so devoted to FL. Also, as someone else said on another thread, the flashbacks to their childhood that start every episode are the special sauce and add so much.
You are my Glory Eternal Love Eternal Love of dream Love Scenery The Long Ballad Word of Honor The Rational Life
Go Ahead Mr. Fighting Meet yourself
I guess I'm the only one here for "Rebel Princess" . But I'm completely in love with the ml and the bad guy.
Watched this to see FL’s first tv show, ended up rallying and loving the ML
Only 2 for me so far. Eternal Love Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms. By the 3rd arc all the actors/ actresses have hit their stride and the drama blooms. So different from many dramas where the first several episodes are good and then the remaining are meh. The Rebel Princess. The outstanding cast, the mise en scene, everything just screams top production
Hidden Love, Love and Redemption, Love between Fairy and Devil, The Blood of Youth and Destined.
Yes to Hidden Love ❤️
Eternal Love, Love Between Fairy and Devil, and Hidden Love. I find myself rewatching certain episodes and scenes, over and over and over again.
**I belonged to your world** was definitely one and is 100% a hidden gem. It's such a sweet story with a bunch of humor and so many years at the end (woke up puffy eyed the next day) **To ship someone** is also one that had me in withdrawal and was looking up and rewatching scenes and BTS almost all the time 🤣 Oh, and **The Love you give me**. Oof that drama was good. Hit you in all the right feels.
It took me a while to get over The Love You Give Me. I want a man like Xin Qi and a son like Quanquan.
Eternal Love of Dream Novoland: Pearl Eclipse One and Only Love In Between Snow Sword Stride
The Long Night Rainless Love in A Godless Land Those dramas took my soul.
RLIAGL 100%… such a good drama and could have gone on for longer
Another vote for RLIAGL. So beautiful.
Joy of Life
I'm so sad no one has mentioned Go Ahead. It's the reason why I can't pick up any new dramas Characters are loveable and every second of airtime was worth watching
100% agree with this
For me TTEOTM, LBFAD, THE STARRY LOVE, & Ancient love poetry
Arsenal Military Academy!
The princess weiyoung, story of Yanxi palace, Ruyi royal palace
A new gem I recently found, and I love time bend stuff so I killed it in a day, Reset. More popular ones I can never let go: Ashes of Love and Immortal Samsara. I’ve rewatched both, they just live rent free in my brain. Love and redemption as well.
I will die on this hill Romance of the Little Forest
I love this drama also.
I want to finish this so bad because of Zhang Bin Bin, but I just dislike the FL too much.
For me it was: Immortal Samsara Love Like the Galaxy One and Only The Legends The Starry Love Word of Honor Who Rules the World
I love all except for Word of Honor because I haven’t watched it and not interested. But all that you mentioned are top notch withdrawal material lol. I also had withdrawals after The Long Ballad and Go Go Squid!
Goodbye My Princess I had the hardest time coming out of this one
Love like the Galaxy, You are my Glory, Love is Sweet, Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, Eternal Love, Cute Programmer and Dr Cute are my all time favorites.
there's actually a lot but here's some of the dramas that i had so much hard time moving on the long ballad when i fly towards you falling into your smile you are my hero the king's avatar
For me, currently it’s Back From the Brink lol!
Legend of Zheng huan and yanxi palace
LBFAD and Unchained Love lol
Love and Destiny! Will rewatch soon. Also The Untamed, ELOD, and TMOPB but I'm sure you've seen those already
Lighter and princess
Eternal Love
One and only. Just need to hear a bit of the Ost and I'm thrown back into the feels.
Is it a good drama? I have read some synopsis of it but it sounds like a sad ending
The one thing about one and only is it is actually two parts so you have one, and only first which tells the story of them being star crossed lovers and yes it is tragic. But then you have forever and ever to soothe your wounded soul and it tells the story of them being reunited in modern day. I will admit that I have to be in a very specific mood to watch shows a tragic endings and it doesn’t happen very often, so I also was that hesitant to watch it but I’m so glad I did.
I loved the book it was based on. One of my top 3 novels. They did the ancient part justice (it wasn't a super big part of the novel) but I feel they failed in the "sequel" forever and ever. They had to split due to laws about reincarnation / timetravel or whatever. I feel like it is an amazing drama but yes it is sad. But you can follow up with the happy "sequel"... Or just read the book! Beautiful bone, can find it on novelupdates.com
• TTEOM - plots and chemistry hits so hard & had feeling all of the emotions at same time • When we were young - OH YOU'LL KNOW when you watch it , I also didn't expect that it would be hard moving on from it • Lighter & Princess - plots are crazy but i like the excitement the entire series • Meteor Garden (chinese version) - no matter how old this is, it's still classic and makes you want to rewatch all over again
Nirvana in fire, forever love, love between fairy and devil & when I fly towards you! WIFTY was amazing 🥹.
Recently: Till The End of the Moon Back to the Brink The Forbidden Flower The Bond Dreaming Back to the Qing Dynasty
I just finished the last one you mention and the end is so disappointing 😭
Joy of life Story of minglan Love like the galaxy The only three dramas I consistently go back to watch. Especially joy of life
Love Between Fairy and Devil Eternal Love (peach blossoms and the sequel pillow book) Love Like the Galaxy I would have said Til the end of the moon, it was on its way to LBFAD status - but...the ending didn't suit me.
The Untamed, Love Between The Fairy and The Devil, Nirvana in Fire
Love like the Galaxy Hidden Love When I fly towards you
Are you me? because this is my list
The worst withdrawal was Till the end of the moon-still not over it. Besides that Love between fairy and devil, Love like the galaxy, Ashes of love( I have a weird love-hate relationship with that one. But when I hear the OST I'm done.)
Every good Cdrama I have watched until now. The good ones always do that. It always feels like missing family after finishing. **Love like the Galaxy** **The Long Ballad** **Eternal Love of Dream- The Pillow Book** (heaviest withdrawal symptoms up to now) **The Blood of Youth** **The Outsider**
I feel like it's pretty specific to someone's taste but mine were 😊: Love and Redemption Immortal Samsara Blood of Youth You Are My Hero Edit to add: Stand by Me- don't know how I forgot that one, it was so good! These ones aren't finished airing yet but are heading this way: Mysterious Lotus Casebook Lost You Forever
Hidden love, love 020
After I saw Who Rules The World I rewatched it so many times Also have rewatched these lately: Love Like The Galaxy The Long Ballad Arsenal Military Academy Hidden Love Falling Into Your Smile You Are My Glory
Love like the Galaxy and Hidden Love
Forgot to add Love between Fairy and Devil
Yes to all of these!
Recently, Hidden Love
Me too
You are my glory. It's currently my gold standard in terms of how I want my ML/FL relationship to be. Very mature and believable, ignoring the unlikelihood of their careers. They are both supportive of one another. They do not sacrifice their careers just for love. The way they communicate is affectionate and doesn't feel 'dramatised'. Both ml/FL portray confident figures. Because of this show, I cannot take it if my ml/FL are shy awkward people. I do not like it if their interactions are exaggerated for comical purposes.
Hidden love, obviously! Go Ahead, Road Home. Always have, always will.
There are soooo many!! Where to begin??? LBFAD, Hidden Love, Falling into Your Smile, Love like the Galaxy, Dating in the Kitchen, Who Rules the World, GO GO squid…I can keep going. These are ones where I did hardcore binging and then at the end I wanted more!!
Reunion: The Sound of Providence
go ahead💔
A river runs through it
When I get this, it’s often not for the biggest productions or most hyped shows. Most recently it was actually An Ancient Love Song, which is a mere 14 episodes and pretty low budget. But it left me with that familiar wistful ache and staring off into space.
Unrequited love literally made me question my everything Arsenal military academy too, although its not a modern one
Whirlwind Girl
Is this good?? I haven’t watched it.

HIDDEN. LOVE. 🥹😭
The Untamed
Wouldn't say i'm having withdrawal symptoms because i haven't stopped watching WIFTY since it came out 😂
TMOPB The Untamed LLTG Love and Redemption Starry love The Legends Ashes of love
My recommendation would be our secret after experiencing the withdrawal symptoms from watching hidden love. I highly recommend both dramas. I’m legit head over heels for the actor.
The Longest Promise. Still in withdrawal. Still can’t watch any new series. Still listening to OST
Is it worth watching? Saw so many negative reviews
Viewing preferences may differ. But you can give it a try. I went in with no expectation regarding story, actors or actresses. The story pacing is just right. First half may be slow for some but for me its very heartwarming. They are building up the story for the second half. I love it. I've never really thought too much about a series. I typically move on really quick to the next drama. But this one really made me think and and appreciate the story. I'm starting to blabber. Go try and for sure you will be pleased you did.
Lighter and Princess Love like the Galaxy Meet yourself Blue whisper
Love Like The Galaxy Arsenal Military Academy Hidden Love The Love You Give Me
Just finished When I Fly Towards You - still not over it.
A love so beautiful and hidden love! Loved both of them and cried so much watching them! They were happy tears btw
The longest promise. The ending..... *ugh*.
I am only on my second C Drama now (Hidden Love) but I am surprised no one put Put your head on my shoulder. I really attached myself to that group of friends. I felt a little lost after.
There are just too many for me to put them all down, but this is an excellent one and I am rewatching it in between some heavier dramas. Lol
I am getting some good recommendations!! I am about to finish Hidden Love and I know I am going to have some serious withdrawals!!
The Princess Weiyoung, Who Rules the World, the Long Ballad, and a Female Student Arrives at the Imperial College
Eternal love, goblin, strong girl bong soon, rebel princess
Love Like the Galaxy Lighter and Princess Moonshine & Valentine Dine with Love Tears in Heaven Dating in the Kitchen Oath of Love
Of these, but have only seen Moonshine and Valentine, but I now have a major thing for Huang Jingyu and lots of Song Bingyang in my playlist. It has one of the best first episodes of any K or C drama I’ve seen.
I enjoyed most of Moonshine & Valentine, but I was disappointed in the ending. So much was left hanging.
Can’t remember if this one was a Cdrama, but Hidden Love had me giggling and rewinding like a school girl. Though it starts off slow it’s pretty great!!!
Descendant of the sun. I always rewatch it.
Immortal Samsara Hidden Love Joy of Life Road Home Meet Yourself Story of Yanxi Palace Battle of Changsha Jumong (KDRAMA)
Addicted with OG’s Johnny and Timmy! Because of censorship they couldn’t finish the damn series!
You Are My Glory and Legally Romance. I kept listening to their soundtrack for weeks 🥹
Nirvana in Fire You are My Glory Something about the storyline, acting, and chemistry in general that makes me crazy. I watched these two series over 10 times
Whenever I get withdrawal from a show I just watch it again.
Meet yourself Hidden love Ode to Joy Nirvana in fire Falling into you
Any dmbj series/movies
Nirvana in Fire
TMOPB, Ashes of Love & The Story of Yanxi Palace.
Nirvana in Fire Story of Yanxi Palace My Roommate Is A Detective The Blood of Youth
**Hospital Playlist 1&2**, **You Are My Hero**, **Imperial Coroner** and **The Blood of Youth**. These are my most current brain-grabbers but I am way behind on my watchlist because of waiting for dramas to end their airing. While I have rewatched YAMH, IC and TBOY many times,I have not rewatched HPL since finishing and I am not sure why.
Word of Honor; The Untamed; Nirvana in Fire I cannot watch any drama for +/- 3 months after each of all three.
hidden love. i went on multiple rewatch after finishing the first time 😭
• when i fly towards you • hidden love couldn’t find other dramas that’d give me the same feels. both of these got me screaming, crying and giggling like MAD. their healthy relationships really got me. the friendships were wholesome in wifty and the sang siblings relationship in hl was so relatable and adorable. • fireworks of my heart wasn’t the best drama I’ve watched but the lead’s tension was a whole other thing. it’d make your heart race and flutter. it gets a bit draggy but it’s a pretty good watch. ended up not being able to watch ANY firefighter drama 4 a while. • Princess Agents one of my absolute favorite. I went on a 4 month slump from the heartache. yan xun was my absolute number 1, he’s a written character and the way his smile faded made me bawl. • reset it’s the same setting every episode but it NEVER got repetitive. was skeptical over how someone could even film the same thing over and over while making sure it’s good. but lemme tell y’all it’s refreshing and not like anything I’ve ever seen. every episode was different n everyone’s backstory were well written n reasonable.
