      Hikaru no go. I was spared from a nervious breakdown: they released a somewhat simplified (in second half) but sincere, careful and successful adaptation. I will be even happier if the young actors become successful in their further career 💚

      Oooh! Sooo many dramas to watch next year! This year was all about catching up to older good dramas for me, but of the ones I've watched this year, Winter Begonia is my absolute favourite! 🥺♥️
      If you had a top 11, where would you place Winter Begonia? 🤭

    Tiger and Rose, I loved when the main character talked about giving the comedic character or sidekick character hundreds of lines like this character won’t shut up and it’s cause the author is trying to make a word count 😂😂😂😂 and I’m like ok, 🤔🧐 that’s why those annoying super talkative side characters are there!

    Many of favourite dramas were all recommended by you! The Long Night, The Bad Kids and Murderous Affair at Horizon Tower. To be honest, I know the production quality in both The Long Night and The Bad Kids was higher than in Murderous Affair, but I liked Murderous Affair more because of the characters, which I felt were more compelling, and for me characters > plot. I did love the other two so much too though, and I'm so happy Bai Yu is getting such good roles after Guardian. But my favourite drama of the year has to be Winter Begonia, that drama is just extremely tailored to my tastes... theatrical world, centered on a single relationship etc. etc.

    I guessed right what your top 3 dramas would be based on your reviews of them :) A well deserved ranking.
    I haven't watched anything from your tier 2, but your tier 1 overlaps with mine quite a lot, though I would have found room to include A Murderous Affair in Horizon Tower and Winter Begonia as well. These two hold a special place in my heart.
    I think Horizon Tower even beats The Long Night in my book as far as the "crime/police/reflection on what justice is" genre goes; I especially love how it puts women at its center and isn't afraid to address important social issues in today's society.
    Winter Begonia is my favorite 2020 drama overall, I just find it so aesthetically beautiful and mesmerizing, and the two leads captured my heart. Such a shame it's not as popular as it deserves to be, but I get that the time period and the Opera subject can be off putting especially for foreign audiences.

    Maiden Holmes was really good if you want a light hearted romance drama. The best thing about Maiden Holmes is it doesnt make you wait until the very last episodes before they have realistic couple interaction. There's a lot of intimacy which is rare in most CDrama.

    This year is clearly iQIYI's year!!! As a xianxia/wuxia fan, I'm really disappointed this year because there was not a single historical drama I enjoyed. However, iQIYI'S suspense dramas took me by surprise! The following are my favorite Chinese series of 2020 ranked:
    1. The Long Night (iQIYI) 👑
    2. The Bad Kids (iQIYI)
    3. Winter Begonia (iQIYI)
    4. Crossfire (WeTV)
    5. Go Ahead (iQIYI) (WeTV)

Also my Roommate is a detective was a very fresh drama that got me hooked from the first episode same as Killer and Healer drama for this year along with Word of Honor. There is one I wish you would give it shot if you haven't and it is Crimson River. When I was watching it, I felt that this show is a top notch production but not many people know about it.
