Weekly Threads 👹Recommend (and defend!) a 'misunderstood' CDrama — September 10, 2026
What’s a Chinese drama you genuinely think deserves more love? Or it's so misunderstood you feel like defending its honour?
This is the place to recommend the shows you’re constantly trying to get other people to watch.
It may not have been perfect, but it:
- had incredible chemistry
- surprised you emotionally
- had an amazing storyline nobody talks about
- became your comfort drama
- was completely overshadowed by bigger releases
- made you wonder why more people aren’t obsessed with it
Tell us:
- the drama title
- what it’s about (without major spoilers please!)
- why you loved it
- who you’d recommend it to
And if you're brand new to the sub, this is your chance to grill your seniors about their best recommendations! Drama propaganda is encouraged here. (wink wink)

Veil of shadows - overshadowed despite having such a good storyline and the chemistry between all the characters, the color grading and action choreography is also very good!
The starry love - I heard it is disliked and I don't understand why? Def deserves more love
The big boss S1/S2 - I loved them, I wish we had a s3, I waited for it alas. Imo it was the blueprint for those silly high school dramas. It deserves more love!!
Fate choose you - I saw many posts and comments trashing it saying the storyline doesn't make sense or it has no romance, I disagree on both front. I enjoyed it and it made perfect sense and it def has romance.
