8 Chinese dramas the K-drama girlies are currently obsessed with!

Juggling both K-dramas and Chinese dramas has felt like a full time job lately but here’s everything you can add to your watchlist if you need a good rom-com to binge on!

After being in love with K-dramas for years, there's a new wave of romance taking over our screens. With heart-warming love stories, emotionally layered characters and just the right amount of angst, Chinese dramas deliver the fuzzy feeling we chase while watching romantic stories. Even though there are tons of episodes, the stories keep us so hooked to the point where we wouldn’t come to know how or when we got through 30 episodes in the span of a couple of days. The male leads are an absolute green flag, raising our standards and delusions yet again and female leads are fierce and independent women who bring so much to the story rather than just being mere love interests.
