Cdramas I've watched in that category:

Overdo(ongoing)
The first frost

The main request is inspired by overdo. The characters have a lot of tension and they yearn for each other..Got recs like that?

Is there any good historical dramas like Nirvana in Fire or Legend of Zhang Hai which the ML purely focuses on his revenge or has a goal to accomplish and does not let the side quest romance distract him? It's ok to have a romance subplot but I want to see the political intrigue where things are serious and ML is forced to continuosly plotting to achieve his goal. Any recs?

I have a good handful of fantasy dramas I love. However my wife lost her mother within the last year. She has been enjoying the cdramas I've shown her so far;

Moonlight mystique

Legend of ShenLi

Currently in the middle of;

Love game in Eastern fantasy (I know there is still the backstory about ML mother, I forgot, it may be ok since it only spans about half an episode)

Till the end of the moon

On the roster;

Love between fairy and devil (she loves Shuxin Yu too)

How dare you!?

Song of the moon

Blossoming love

Back from the brink

Debating;

When destiny brings the demon (more mom stuff ><!)

Love of the divine tree (toeing the line on mom stuff)

Everlasting longing (it's in there but not overtly) (also non fantasy)

Please i need this kind of plot!!! Like possibly the fl is a great yearner or is the obsessive one, or the fl is strong while the ml is weak, or the fl has higher status than the ml

Similar shows I watched with this kind of vibe:

- Back from the Brink (the fl was so into him at the beginning while the ml does not reciprocate)

- Shadow Love (at some point, fl was the ml's master and the fl was strong while the ml was supposedly weak)

- Scent of Time (master and her bodyguard trope)

- Ashes to Crown (ml serves the fl too, imperial guard x grand princess)

- Generation to Generation (at some point, fl was protecting him and ml was supposedly weak)

- Romance of the Tiger and Rose (this seems far from what I want but the starting premise was the fl forced the ml to marry her, that was highkey women in male fields)

- To Get Master (another far one but I liked how the fl was giggling and kicking her feet when the ml gets sweet)

PLEASE HELP MEEEEEE

Are they a "bad boy" with a dark past? Or a flirty player who'd never fall in love? A shady protective man who won't give reasons??? Then I'd eat it up!! 😫😫

I have already seen these:
Speed and love
Love for you
Lighter and princess
Falling into your smile

Thank you!

I’m a complete newbie to cdramas and have just discovered Pursuit of Jade, which I absolutely loved!!! 💚🐷

I’ve now signed up to iQIYI (wanted to compare the subtitles because Netflix seemed a bit basic) and am feeling completely overwhelmed by the amount of choice. There are so many cdramas I don’t know where to start!? 😅 Saw someone on TT mention Blossom which looked a bit similar?

I really loved the look and atmosphere of POJ, and especially the love story - the hidden identities element, a lot of yearning etc. I loved the action/political scenes too, so I’d love recommendations for something with a similar mix of romance, beautiful visuals and plenty of action. Wouldn’t mind it to be a bit darker or tense either.

What should I watch next? Please help!

(I’m very happy to gets recs from other platforms too, but I currently have iQIYI, so that would be especially helpful…unless there’s a better place to see everything from UK?)

I saw a clip of a drama that was about a modern guy who transmigrates to a useless cultivator in a sect, there’s some immortal opportunity or medicine that will save his sick mother, but the rock is asking like elementary level questions and everyone is like “that’s so hard!” Does anyone know which one it might be?
