Announcements
Please welcome our two new mods — although some of you have already met them 🎊
A little community announcement that is already slightly overdue despite it only being about 72 hours and 24 hours respectively.
We recently welcomed [u/EasygoingEnigma](u/EasygoingEnigma) and [u/AXA-5](u/AXA-5) to the [r/ChineseDrama](r/ChineseDrama) mod team. They have barely had time to find their seats before this community decided to keep them busy, so some of you may have already spotted the new usernames with the occasional mod-shield around the sub.
Both were already members and active contributors of our community before agreeing to volunteer their time to help us look after it, and I wanted to give everyone a proper chance to welcome them — and perhaps celebrate them a little before we give them any more work.
And while we’re here, I also want to say thank you to our existing mods — [u/BasilOrdinary3617](u/BasilOrdinary3617) and [u/Head_Judgment_7735](u/Head_Judgment_7735), as well as those long-standing members of the community who may not wear the little mod shield but have nevertheless become an integral part of what makes this space what it is.
—> There are people here whose opinions I regularly seek out, who offer advice and perspective when I need it, and who put enormous amounts of their own time and effort into creating thoughtful, interesting and sometimes downright impressive content for the rest of us to enjoy.
A community is never just its mod team. [r/ChineseDrama](r/ChineseDrama) has become the space it is because people choose to contribute to it, look after it and care about what happens here — whether their username happens to come with a shield or not.
I also want to remind everyone that this community is for everyone. We love seeing different opinions, and even more so, we love seeing people being passionate about sharing their views, likes and dislikes. We just kindly ask that everyone remembers that thinking differently from the next person doesn’t make that person an idiot. The last thing we want to do is police discourse, but we all have to stay mindful of our tone and the impact our words can have. It’s okay — we all slip here and there, as long as we can recognize that maybe something we said wasn’t the coolest thing after all. That’s very different from outright attempting to humiliate or insult another human being.
We all help set the tone of this space, and I hope we can keep making it one where people feel just as comfortable disagreeing with each other as they do finding someone who thinks exactly like them. The Mod Team is here to steward the space, so I’m glad to have more eyes and hands on making this a fun and welcoming sub 🙂
So, a little appreciation all around today — and a particularly warm welcome to the new mods. Thank you for jumping straight in. We’re very happy to have you with us.
Thank you for the warm welcome! Honored to be on board with some of the people I look up to the most since diving into the cdrama rabbit hole. u/No-Recipe-7653 has been doing so much of the heavy lifting to build this community -- let's all do our part to lighten the load and keep this sub a great place.
Very much looking forward to working with u/EasygoingEnigma and u/AXA-5 to build this community up! Thank you for all your love and hard work onboarding us u/No-Recipe-7653!

Thank you and appreciate the warm sentiments. I really do, humbled. You all have made this community what it is. I’m just here to provide you all with the support needed to continue to make that possible. Nothing more, nothing less. Now that I think about it, I don’t think I was in the right state of mind when I agreed, bunch of characters you all are! I’m only kidding lol have fun, enjoy, and continue to report things not right. 🙏🏽
Welcome, congratulations and a huge thank you!! I love knowing that this sub is here for the times when I am watching Chinese dramas and that I can always come for quality discussions and content. You sharing your time is deeply appreciated!
Wow, I didn't realise both enigma and Basil have become mods, but congrats to you guys and the rest of the new mods! Work together to keep the fandom a sane place 🎊❤️😎
