As @tinacmml.bsky.social shared a list of 14 favourite dramas, I think it’s ok for me to share 12 ☺️
While I’ve obviously also loved kdramas & jdramas too this year, this list will focus on #cdrama
The usual caveats apply: I couldn’t include every favourite, & my personal biases are clear!

Day 30: Was It A Good Drama Year?
Overall, yes, it has been a good drama year for me 🙂
I watched mostly cdramas this year (some of which are highlighted in the picture), but I still enjoyed quite a few kdramas, & some jdramas too

I loved #LoveintheClouds, so it’s definitely no shade on Lu Yuxiao’s & Hou Minghao’s drama that I loved slightly more the story between Zhou Ye’s He Yan & Cheng Lei’s Xiao Jue in #LegendoftheFemaleGeneral

Day 27: a drama I want more people to watch
Actually I wanted more people to watch (or pick back up) Fated Hearts. And more people did, so I was very happy. 😂😂
Also it's not a 2025 show but everyone should watch Shen Li lol

Oops, sorry 😔 - I should have read the MDL page first!
The time frame for #cdrama #SwordsIntoPloughshares is centuries before the Taiping Rebellion - between 941 AD & 978 AD - so 太平年 is a mystery
Anyway, at least I learned something about the Taiping Rebellion! 😅

The native title of forthcoming #cdrama #SwordsIntoPloughshares 太平年 is “Taiping Year”, so the biblical associations of the English title are not misleading after all!
The Taiping Rebellion was a millenarian movement “led by Hong Xiuquan… who proclaimed himself to be the brother of Jesus Christ” 😮

If this account goes dark a year from now, you’ll know its because I didn’t finish #Yanxi and couldn’t live (on blue-sky) with the dishonor
We’ll make a blood pact: I promise to finish The Untamed sometime over the coming year, if you attempt to finish The Story of Yanxi Palace (or Empresses in the Palace) within a similar time frame 😅👍

To its credit, JitD clearly has a loyal fan-base among voters 🫡
But if an *outstanding drama* is judged in terms of its breadth of ambition, narrative appeal, vividly drawn characters, cinematography, costume detail & set design - then #FlourishedPeony is all that ✨

Christmas is a lot of family fun, but it doesn’t leave much time for dramas!
At least I managed to squeeze Zhao Lusi’s name into a clue for a charades-type guessing game
Everyone was like, “Zhao Who? A Chinese sport’s star?”
“No - she’s a super famous #cdrama actress”
“Oh, ok”
Now they know 😅
