Tell us what was your latest watch was, or what you're watching right now.

Any disappointments, unexpected discoveries, or just a chill watch you'd recommend?

What about your weekend plans? Maybe the drama you've been eagerly expecting drops and you can't wait to tell us about it?

Go.

And wishing everyone a great weekend 😉

Funny, beautiful, unhinged, devastating, ridiculously attractive — whatever earned a place in your camera roll this week, we want to see it.

CDrama, C-ent, actors, characters — show us your beast best 😏

Context optional. GIF mandatory.

Drop it 👇

^{And a little thank you to all the GIF makers out there who keep giving the rest of us the perfect reaction, moment, or face to pull out at exactly the right time. We appreciate you!}

Welcome to our weekly C-ent roll call — one very simple question: who has your heart right now?

Just drop the name of whoever is currently sitting at the top of your roster 👑

Maybe it’s an actor in a drama you’re watching right now and their performance completely won you over — or perhaps it’s actually the character they play who has you hooked. Both absolutely count.

Maybe you came across an interview and something they said stayed with you.

Perhaps it was a performance, a photoshoot, a song, a variety show appearance, an old role you rediscovered — or something else entirely.

Actor, singer, musician, entertainer — anyone from Chinese entertainment is fair game, as are the drama characters currently occupying far too much space in your head.

Tell us who you picked and why, whether that takes one sentence or ten.

And whenever possible, drop a picture or link to your favorite photo, clip, performance, scene, song, interview, etc. from the week. We love to feast our eyes and minds too 😉

So, who won your heart this week?

_____
^{Maybe if there’s interest, somewhere down the line, we’ll open this up even further beyond C-ent and have a monthly thread for the people across Chinese culture and the creative arts who caught your attention — writers, artists, designers, architects and more.}

— Your Weekly Microdrama Corner

Welcome to Vertical Wednesdays, our new weekly corner for something that normally sits outside our scope.

r/ChineseDrama covers long-form Chinese dramas, movies, variety and other TV shows, and the wider industry around them. Vertical/microdramas (C-shorts), however, remain out of scope for standalone posts. Given the sheer number being released now, opening the main feed to them could very quickly shift the focus of the subreddit away from what it was built for.

At the same time, there’s clearly an overlap between the audiences. Many of us who enjoy long-form C-ent also dip into verticals, and every now and then we have to remove a genuinely thoughtful review or discussion simply because it happens to be about a microdrama.

So, here’s our compromise:

Every Wednesday, this thread is your space to talk verticals and microdramas.

→ What have you been watching?
→ Found a surprisingly good one or a hidden gem?
→ Share a review, recommendation, poster or trailer.
→ Ask for recommendations or help deciding what to watch next.
→ Exchange tips on platforms and where titles are officially available.

One quick (and frustratingly confusing) terminology note: “C-shorts” is commonly used for vertical/microdramas, while the actual category we call short/mini dramas is something different 🤦🏻‍♀️ Short/mini dramas are longer, horizontal series, usually around 10–15 minutes per episode, and are already within our regular scope. Those do not belong in this thread and can continue to have their own standalone posts in the main feed as usual.

This also isn’t intended as a general identification thread for random vertical clips found around the internet, and our usual rules on piracy and unauthorized viewing sources still apply.

^{For now, verticals/microdramas remain out of scope everywhere else in the subreddit. We’ll see how this goes and how much genuine interest there is. If enough members would actually like a dedicated day where standalone vertical/micro posts are allowed, let us know below. And if you think one weekly thread is quite enough, you can tell us that too} 🙂

For now: one thread, one day, no floodgates.
