Newbie Cdrama addict seeks recommendations
1I stumbled upon “Love Between Fairy and Devil” a while back, and LOVED it. Then I watched “Miss the Dragon” and loved it too.
Are you into Cdrama? Do you have favorites you can point me at? Bonus points for anything with Dylan Wang. Oh. My. GAWD he is pretty. Whew.

TIL what “Cdrama” is. YMMV.
@werehatrack Me too. My first thought was that it was a misspelling of “K-drama”, but now I know better.
Similar idea/concept, I suppose, but different base culture.

Me 3!
I didn’t know that those films were called Cdrama. Not knowing these shows were going to be anything other than a regular American series I had found a few that looked good but when I started watching I found they only had English subtitles. We have closed captions on all the time just in case we missed a few words when the sound gets too low (like it often does, AND, we each have different levels of I can’t hear that or what did they/you say?
) but I just couldn’t commit to READING the entire show! So I haven’t actually watched any but like I said, some looked really good!
I’m thinking maybe you speak Mandarin?
Reddit has topics for Cdrama’s with people giving lots of suggestions for good ones. Good luck, and enjoy your shows!
@Lynnerizer No, I don’t speak anything but English, unfortunately. I don’t mind subtitles too much, though. I’ll look at Reddit. Thanks.
There’s “The Double” (Netflix), “Story of Yanxi Palace” (YouTube), and though this isn’t a drama series, it’s a 25-episode “Power Rangers” style series oldie based on the Journey West (with the Monkey King) that always amused me:

@pakopako I already have “The Double” on my watchlist- will check out the other! Thanks!
