Asian countries have countlessly produced quality films and tv dramas that has sparked worldwide interests. To mention some notable ones, Japan is known for their variety of anime films and series based on Manga such as Naruto and One Piece with hundreds of episodes. Taiwan has been known since the rise of Meteor Garden. In addition, the Korean wave has dominated the asian drama arena consistently. 

 

In the recent years, another country's tv series (aside from their already famous action films) gained international popularity with quality plots and post-production techniques-- it is China. They have produced famous tv series which will make you swoom, cry and everything in betwen. Some of which are "A Love So Beautiful", "Love O2O", "Eternal Love", and "Unintended Love". 

 

If you haven't watched Cdramas yet, here are some reasons why you should do it:

 

The stories/plots will hook you to your screens

Chinese dramas offer a variety of genre such as teen romance, romance-comedy, historical fiction, fantasy and many more. Sometimes, the twists and turns are just so unpredictable that you will rack your brains for ideas. They can also make you swoon and sigh on romantic scenes. It's truly a new kind of story-telling experience. 

 

Each tv series has diverse characters and love teams

Just like kdramas with Oppas that will make you freek, Cdramas also have their fair shair of good looking and chivalrous men. In their fantasy dramas, you'll encounter many characters and couples that will give you a vast option on who to root for. From second lead syndrome, you'll experience a third and fourth lead syndrome (LOL). What I like are the acting skills of their antagonists that will simply make you hate them and admire how they portray their character at the same time. 

 

Their visual effects are on point

When it comes to visual effects, Cdramas have achieved top-tier. Their use of technology in their dramas are very different then what you usually see on television especially for their fantasy genre. Their landscapes and powers are only visual effects yet they look so vibrant and professional. 

 

It becomes a cultural experience

Cdramas are also a good way of knowing Chinese culture. You'll learn more about their historical dynaties, their lifestyles and the norms. Intercultural sensitivity is always a good thing. 

 

Now, you can watch famous Cdramas since Netflix has already acquired a lot of them. Get ready to pull an all-night binge because you won't be able to stop.
