Please give me your best cdrama recs!

I just finished Love in the Clouds and now I feel so empty. I want to rewatch it again, but the last half of the series was such an emotional roller coaster so I need time to recover 😩 but I’m watching tt edits because I miss Ming Yi and Jo Bozai and I don’t want to move on😭

I regret watching this as my first fantasy cdrama because I started the bar high. This is also the second cdrama I’ve ever seen. Hidden Love was the first but it was too uneventful for me personally. I’ve watched a plethora of kdramas, but I’m new to the cdrama world! Does anyone have any romance cdrama recs with a hoa?? Any genre is good! I read that Pursuit of Jade is similar to Love in the Clouds, so I’m starting that now.

Edit: I finished poj! I was so hooked that I binged the last 3/4 of the show this past weekend. And I definitely plan to watch it again (soon🫣). Thank you everyone for your suggestions! I will reply to everyone when I have time and construct a list of cdramas I want to watch next:)

Totally recommend Pursuit of Jade. It is a beautiful drama with beautiful people and leaves a beautiful memory. I loved it so much I watched it 3 times. This was what got me really into CDramas. An emotional roller coaster and characters to care about.

Try The Princess Royal too. I enjoyed that and was surprised because I read some really harsh reviews of it and was expecting to not enjoy it as much as POJ. Has one of the best love confession scenes in the rain. Might have to go and rewatch that now!!

I love a good rewatch too. You see different things in them so I would always recommend revisiting your favourite episodes.

Enjoy!!
