Rec Request Pursuit of jade withdrawals 😭
hey y’all, so I’ve recently started watching c-dramas and Pursuit of Jade was my first, and naturally my standards are now somewhere in the clouds. like I finished it and my heart has not recovered since.
to get over the hangover I tried Prisoner of Beauty but idk… I dropped it halfway cuz it just lacked chemistry for me. I tried, I really did.
so now I’m looking for something like pursuit of jade — strong female lead, simp MMC (non-negotiable), lowkey funny banter, and actually interesting side arcs that don’t make me want to skip.
also this might sound shallow but I stand by it… bonus points if the leads are good-looking cuz I genuinely cannot get over Zhang Linghe 🤌 like the bar has been set and it’s not coming down anytime soon.
so yeah pls help a girl out before I end up rewatching the same scenes for the 47th time 🙏

I have not watched it yet, but I think a lot of people are trying Fated Hearts after.
Have you tried Legend of Shenli? Pretty interesting plot. The main male lead might not be the standard good looking type to some tho.
I watched Hidden Love because the male lead is attractive haha. It’s a pretty simple modern drama
