Chinese drama recommendations

Hello sorry to bother.  

 

I am Italian and I am currently living in China. I m trying to learn Chinese and so I wanted to ask if you can recommend me some Chinese dramas   (if possible dramas I can find English subtitles or whatever other language subtitle to).

 

I usually love intricate plot or something that can keep me hooked in however I am fine with anything since the main goal is to learn Chinese. 

 

Thanks in advance for the people who will answer :)

 

Love Me If You Dare and When a Snail Falls in Love, they are criminal profiling dramas and should keep you hooked. Nirvana in Fire is even better, but it's a historical drama that uses a lot of words that you might not need in modern day real life so don't think it will help you that much with improving your Mandarin. It's definitely worth watching though.

I like this better than the communist propaganda show she had and that Legend of something.

 

Yes!

 

If you can't take an ounce of communism then you shouldn't be watching Chinese spy dramas. I see plenty of people enjoying dramas like Rookie, Sparrow and Disguiser without automatically calling it out as propaganda.

Both Viki and DF are going to air The King's Woman tomorrow, I love Dilraba and Zhang Bin Bin, but I can already tell it'll probably end tragically and I'm already so drained from all the other historicals. I need a cute modern drama. Also really want to watch Wuxin: The Monster Killer 2, but no subs yet.

 

 

 

So many recommendation, yet I'm still having trouble to choose

The ones that I've watched thus far:

*Princess Wei Young
3L3W10MPB
**General and I
Love 020
My Sunshine
Boss and Me
Love Me If You Dare
***Nirvana in Fire
****Princess Agents

Note :

*The ending was so sad.. why TBJ has to die? And left WY alone with a throne and a son to brave the world.. (and luckily I haven't yet the book.. Pheww)

** I love Gu Fang Bu Zi Shang so much, I felt cheated by the sub-par acting of the leads.. Maybe because the drama didn't really portrayed Bai Ping Ting and Chu Bei Jie's characters as per the novel, but still.. Nope!


*** Loved the drama!! I was only supposed to read the drama recap of ep 31, but I was so impatient, I ended up reading the whole recap to the last episode! But it was so sad, I brawled my eyes out, so much so I was afraid to continue watching the drama that night.. So sadly, I only watched Nirvana in Fire up to ep 30

**** Love the storyline and the actors, but hate the production! I stop at episode 31, because after reading the comments on its last episode, I know my heart will not be able to take such disappointment.. A cliff hanger for a finale of a 67 episodes of drama? Seriously

So guys, any new recommendation?

 

I can't think that far back, but I really like When a Snail Falls in Love (same author as Love Me If You Dare), Ode to Joy 1 & 2 (it's a very realistic modern drama, but it's not for those who want pure romance), Dr. Qin Medical Examiner (forensics) and Wuxin: The Monster Killer, because I really like Zhang Ruo Yun, and lately been enjoying The Eternal Love which is a ridiculous cheap web drama with Ye Qi from Princess Agents, but I still prefer Go Princess Go which is an even more ridiculous, more low budget web drama that's highly addictive.
