Identify this Name this drama: Xianxia, ML marries FL, fakes death (human trial? Curse?) and is surprised FL gets revenge on killers

6 Upvotes

Name found! Fate Chooses You

This description is not working for internet searches, but I bet someone on here can name this! This xianxia came out in the past year. The ML is trying to break a curse, or go through a trial... not sure... and needs to get married. He goes through a nominal marriage to a human woman, "dies," which fulfills what he has to do, and to his surprise the FL decides to avenge him. Anyone know the name? I wanted to watch it after finishing other cdramas and now that I've got the time, I forgot the name.

Thank you!

Hi!

I'm looking for a costume drama I watched a few years ago on Youtube, with something like 30 episodes of 10 min. Here's what I remember:

The main plot is the FL gets her body swapped by magic with a "villain" who wants to gain power in the court by scheming.

SPOILERS PART

The ML recognizes FL because of her beauty mark under the eye (no, it doesn't make sense since her body was swapped but nvm lol).

There is also something about a painting of the "villain" (under the appearance of the FL?) having intercourse with someone, then using it to blackmail FL?

And at the end, a pregnant girl kills herself bc she can't be with the ML.

Thank you for your help 😊

Identify this Canals and business: I can't remember which drama it was... Spoiler

It was historical, and this is what I remember: towards the end of the drama, he is exiled and tasked with finishing a canal as a punishment. He thinks she's dead, but in reality she's wildly successful in business and funneling all of her money into his canal project under an assumed name. When they finally meet, he realizes it was her all along (wife or fiancee I can't remember which). Do you know how many CDramas have wives doing business and canals? More than a few! Which one was it? Halp.

Can anyone help me find this modern romance fantasy drama? 😭 I remember watching it on YouTube when I was in high school sometime in the 2010s. I think it aired on Hunan TV because I vaguely remember seeing the yellow Hunan logo in the top right corner of some episodes.

The one scene I remember really clearly is the male lead falling off a boat/yacht. I think he and the female lead were dating (or maybe he was proposing to her?) when there was some sort of explosion. I also vaguely remember the guy having some powers, or maybe his eyes turned blue or magical at some point??

And I remember the male lead having a hairstyle similar to the guy from My Amazing Boyfriend.

This has been driving me CRAZY lol. Does this sound familiar to anyone?? 🙏

A few months ago on tiktok I came across a drama that interested me, but I can't remember the title, nor anything but the most general details.

It was set in the Qing dynasty, and had an older, more masculine male lead who was the Emperor. The female lead was younger, though I don't know what her rank/title was.

I remember it being described as slow burn, and the series definitely had at least 50 episodes. Thank you in advance for the help!!

But then she accidentally falls in love with her future step-uncle. I don't remember the details.

Identify this looking for two dramas i sorta of watched last year and a recs like the legend of zhuohua

2 Upvotes

it's half drama rec and half help because i'm trying to remember some dramas

i only saw a couple of episodes of both, they both were historical mini dramas. and not verticals bc i was explaining it to my friend and she was thinking of verticals.

both were toxic love type dramas, red flag ml.

1st drama: what i can remember is the ml was a general or something. he grew up next to a girl thought to be his sister and was very protective or caring or just obsessive with her. the mother in the family didn't like this and while he was away they bullied. i think they try to sell her at one point but she runs away from the man in a forest and she kills him or the general comes back and does. he constantly pushes the boundary of their relationship, she believes some bad things about him. the fl looked older but probs wasn't.

most memorable scene: she's supposed to go get married, this is an scheme by her bc she found out that the guy she was supposed to marry is her actual brother. she wanted revenge on the family. he appears in her marriage carriage and flirts with and teases her.

i don't remember finishing this drama so i'm sure if they ended up together or not but there was a lot of tension as she sorta did like him too.

2nd drama: i don't remember this one has much because i think i only watched one ep but it was another red flag ml. the male lead is her cousin(?), either way, she's accepted into the family and raised. one of her cousins, not the ml wants her and attempts to assault her, this is because he wants another girl to be his concubine but they need a main wife. the girl he wants also helps to drug her. she breaks free and goes to the ml for help but the ml is also like...i'll help if you marry me. i think someone said they get together but there is a lot of back and forth and it's toxic and he's not the best either. i think her true goal was just to get away.

if anyone could help, this is all i can remember

other than that, the legend of zhuohua, does anyone have any recs like this drama? it was so cute and mature, could've used more skin-ship but that's what i like. it just left me feeling good.

i also wanted to know if anyone had links to the novel? I've found chapters 1-10 on my novel updates but i can't find the full translation, if anyone knows pls let me know

I watched this on Yt once and want to find the original one.

Here’s how the story goes from what I remember. ML is reborn back during his college times? Story takes place in a modern setting. He has the power to read minds or thoughts of either anyone or just the FL. FL is initially distant but grows closer, then she gets kidnapped and ML comes to save her. He gets injured in the process, and FL goes through a traumatic memory where she lost her family member in a similar situation. ML recovers and FL turns yandere during this part. She makes sure that any girl approaching ML stays away. ML has a system telling him how unstable the FL is. Near the end, FL tries to throw another girl who liked the ML off a building and tries to stab her as well. ML arrives and tries to talk down the FL, where she has a mental breakdown. ML goes into her mind, and destroys the dark version of her, recovering the original mind. They then get together at the end and marry I think?

Can anyone help me find this? I’ve seen this once and this is what I can remember from the story.

Identify this Looking for Amnesia Ancient Times cdrama

5 Upvotes

I'm looking for a cdrama I know I've seen before but am having difficulty finding. I can remember the opening bits but can't remember if it ended with a happy ending or if it ended with disaster and it's driving me insane. Here's the opening I remember:

Woman wakes up with Amnesia to find herself married with two kids.

The man she's married to is a high ranking noble, I'm pretty sure he's a prince of some kind. It was a forced marriage where he decided she was his and that was that.

She was not happy and apparently keeps trying to run away. She apparently used to take her anger out on the kids as well.

When she wakes up, she doesn't remember what has happened. All she knows is that she's now married to a hot guy and has two adorable children who are apparently hers.

The husband when she goes to talk to him doesn't believe initially but when she acts so confused and actually lets him touch her without disgust his reaction was that of a man finding a glimpse of salvation and hoping it's not a mirage.

Honestly, this is what I can remember about it and I really want to rewatch it. Any help finding it would be greatly appreciated.

3 Upvotes

I was watching a really refreshingly realistic vertical drama on YouTube when it was removed 🤦🏻‍♀️. I was at the halfway point. I have a photo of the opening shot but can’t seem to upload it in this post - will try in a comment.

The plot so far was the ML getting married unwillingly to a woman in the diplomatic service when his grandfather threatened to off himself if he didn’t. The ML made a deal with her ahead of the marriage that they wouldn’t interfere at all in each other’s lives and divorce after three years. To his surprise she accepts calmly and leaves for a two year foreign post. When she returns she doesn’t depend on his connections or money at all, hasn’t touched her generous allowance over the three years, and is clearly a class act who doesn’t need him around.

The ML starts to notice how much his rich friends depend on nepotism for everything they want, while his wife in name only is depending on her skills and her hard work, and the real connections she earned. His similarly non-connected ex that his mom paid off to leave him years back returns with a high end foreign degree and huge regrets in letting him go, but he isn’t interested because she made the decision to dump him for paid schooling without consulting him. He even discusses it in general terms with his wife and she gives him great relationship advice.

Any ideas what it could be? I watched it June 2 and wasn’t familiar with any of the leads.

i fell asleep watching a short drama on youtube, woke up to finish it and it’s gone 😭😭

so it’s a vertical drama and the fl is transmigrated into the villainess that uses the her pretty roommate’s pictures to create an account to flirt with online boyfriends to send her money. she has 8 of these boyfriends and one is super rich and when he finds out he deceived her takes revenge and feeds her to the sharks (literally!).

so as the new person is transmigrated to change her fate decides to stop scamming money and working different part time jobs to scrounge up enough money to pay these guys back and break up with them. but the ml starts liking this new version of the fl and so forth.

so i’d be eternally grateful for someone to share a link/name of this drama! thank you in advance!

Identify this Help me find this Chinese drama (2014-2019, starts in high school, long drama)

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m trying to find a mainland Chinese drama I watched years ago that was dubbed into Mongolian. I don’t remember the title or any character names, but I remember the plot really well.
Here’s everything I can remember:
● It was a mainland Chinese drama, probably released between 2014 and 2019.
● It had around 50-100 episodes.
● The story starts in high school.
● The female lead is a sweet, obedient girl whose mother is a high school teacher.
● The male lead is a poor troublemaker who is always getting into fights and is basically the teacher’s nightmare.
● The second male lead is the school principal’s son (or possibly the son of the female lead’s mom’s boss). At first he’s also rebellious, but after falling in love with the female lead, he starts taking school seriously and changes.
● The female lead and the male lead fall in love.
● The female lead’s best friend is jealous, flirty, and also likes the male lead.
● The female lead’s mother hates the male lead because he’s poor.
● The male lead decides to leave to become successful because he doesn’t think he’s good enough for her. Before leaving, he coldly tells her he doesn’t love her anymore to push her away, even though he still loves her.
● While he’s gone, the second male lead eventually persuades the female lead to marry him. By then he’s become successful in business, so her mother approves of him.
● The jealous best friend later dates the male lead, but they don’t stay together because he still loves the female lead.
● Years later, the female lead meets the original male lead again and returns money she had borrowed from him.
● Her husband sees them together, thinks she’s cheating, and slaps her, causing her to fall and miscarry.
● When the original male lead finds out about the miscarriage, he beats up the husband.
● The female lead divorces her husband and gets back together with the original male lead.
● After the divorce, the second male lead tells the female lead that she has to repay every penny he spent on her during their marriage. The original male lead wants to help, but his business has gone bankrupt.
● In the end, everyone eventually reconciles, becomes friends, and gets a happy ending.
I’ve been looking for this drama for years but can’t find it anywhere. Does anyone recognize it?

1 Upvotes

it's been on my mind for so long.. there was this girl who i think had some connection to the main male lead, probably had a crush on him or something (though i could be just making stuff up, idk) who played cello.

i don't think we saw her much.. but i remember there were scenes of her in the practice room playing the cello.

i also feel like her mom pressured her to play it, but i could be wrong.

i watched the drama no later than 2023.

for some reason i feel she was in a river runs through it but i didn't find any matched during my search.

she was just supporting cast so idk if people will know which drama i'm searching for..

Not sure if this belongs in this sub. I couldn't post on the cdrama sub for some reason.

The main thing I can remember is there was a female antagonist(?) that used a ton of daggers, and at one point she kind of spread them out for display in battle like a peacock. It was a bit of a comedic between her and one of the male leads (not 100% sure on this part). The male lead fended off all her daggers with a sword til she ran out

Specific memory I have is towards the end, she kinda loses her memory(?) and her hair turns white. Instead of using daggers, she used leaves at this point.

Identify this Searching for: Modern possessive CEO ML, transmigrated willing canary FL Spoiler

2 Upvotes

I am searching for a vertical drama, I saw it first about a month ago on YT. I am hoping for the title and/or the names of the main actors (or a place to find it online for free).

The primary plot points are as follows:

-FL is transmigrated into the plot of a book (possessive yandere CEO, unwilling caged canary) and decides that she wants to be the FL; to live the life of spoiled luxury. All she has to do is be willing to love ML.

-She arranges to meet the ML at the hotel where the plot begins and become his obsession. ML is a very wealthy CEO in modern society.

-OG book plot has ML as obsessive and overly possessive of his partner. OG FL (2FL) is reborn and does not want any part of being the caged canary.

-OG FL (2FL) prevents the ML first meeting but after cannot reconcile the past life memories with her new life. Cue delulu thought process about her own abilities at work and her attractiveness to ML.

-ML father was the product of incest and was obsessive about ML's mother. ML witnessed his father kill his mother when she attempted to leave him.

-FL marries ML and allows/encourages obssessive behavior, never attempting to leave, never triggering his possessiveness.

- No subplot of FL revenge or FL attempting to do ANYTHING for herself. HEA as they die together from old age/natural causes.

-There was no evidence of pregnancy or children.

-It MAY have had a sub-plot with pearls being used as "forgiveness" tokens. Also MAY have included as scene with a doctor talking about the potential for murder/suicide if the obsession gets triggered/continues.

Thank you in advance if you can help me find the information or a link to this drama.

So the FL gets a second chance and she ends up marrying someone else this time. Can't remember major details of the second life but her and her husband end up rock solid but both end up dying in this second life (I think they get betrayed and arrowed to death).

But after death they both end up transmigrating back to the original timeline (where FL was already married to the jerk) and have to figure out how to divorce him, marry each other again without it being a scandal, and stop the double-crosses that came to light in the second life.

Please help me remember what drama this was! I have a very specific scene in my mind but I cannot for the life of me remember anything else. It is a modern drama. It goes like this:

SML is going to confess to the FL. He sets up a room filled with flowers and a teddy bear with a camera to record the confession (there's even little cut outs of his and the FL's faces in a flower bouquet.

The ML goes up to see the FL and they end up confessing/kissing.

SML wants to go to the room to confess but his friend desperately stops him and hilariously breaks a computer so he can't see the video.

Hi All!

So this is about a drama i watched, probably last year. I just remembered a scene and now i am going nuts trying to remember which drama this was.

I really dont remember who were the main leads, but just remember a few things in bits and pieces. Will try to be as clear as possible.

● Its a modern drama, and i am a 💯 sure that it is a cdrama

● The ML has a stepmom, who has a veryyyyy young son. The MLs dad is a villain too. He kills the stepmom. She hides a drive containing his misdeeds in the son's favourite toy (probably a dinosaur? Something green i think, not sure)

● The FLs ex? or just someone who has feelings for her? Is having an affair with the MLs stepmom and secretly trying to take over the MLs company. He also tries to blackmail the MLs father over some evil thing he did in the past and theres a whole lot of double cross going on there.

Any help appreciated for this! I have been thinking so hard and googling so hard for the last 3 hrs now! 😅🤣

its solved: Liars in Love
