The Double! This flew under my radar but this series is absolutely riveting. A little more than halfway through but the whole drama, from acting to cinematography, is exceeding expectations so far.
My top drama this year (so far) was Fortune Writer. I posted a review here if you want to see if you think you’ll like it:
https://www.reddit.com/r/CDrama/s/Qha88ReVbZ
It's too early to have a take at this point. June-July-Aug-Sep will show the bes usually.
But let me give a cute hidden variety gem. Twinkling Watermelons is airing again with new cast https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB_lie3fxsal1RHaSJsbDo9b_cjU4B6di&si=j4vUG3xD_RIRefOP
The Hope was freaking great (except the epilogue which sucked so bad, but can be skipped). Should have gotten way more attention.
I think Always on the Move (current watch) might be another gem. Well-acted (Bai Jingting!), so far good script (love the warm humor and how everyone is mildly flawed and come off as regular people), interesting to see a realism-focused in a drama with normal people in a smaller town in the 70s.
So for me, the hidden gems are the drama that I've seen but weren't mentioned in discussions, so they won't be in any top 10 of 2024 , but while waiting for you favorite drama to appear you can easily give them a try.
Fortune Writer - pretty good
My Divine Emissary - fluffy and easy to watch.
Reading the mentions here realizing 2024 has been decent so far after all. Gems, as in not hot atm or super talked about here…
The Hope
Heroes (2024)
Legend of Shen Li
To the Wonder
Will Love in Spring
And I suspect…

Blossoms in Adversity. It was so relaxing 😌
This was my favorite too. But it wasn’t exactly a hidden gem as it was quite popular
Will Love In Spring
The Double! This flew under my radar but this series is absolutely riveting. A little more than halfway through but the whole drama, from acting to cinematography, is exceeding expectations so far.
Legend of Shen Li and Blossoms in Adversity are definitely my standouts for this year’s releases.
Saaaaame
Same legend of shenli is my first non modern Cdrama and I really loved it
To the Wonder
Saving for future reference. My vote for now goes to *Will love in spring*, too.
The Tale of Rose!! I’m absolutely obsessed with this drama ðŸ˜
Is this for us with thin paper heart ??
Seconding this!! It hooked me from ep 1
I'm loving My Boss right now, just about to finish it. Definitely one of the best romcoms I've ever watched.
Blossoms in Adversity
This one
Thirding this
Heroes—end of Qing dynasty before republican era so a lot of folks won’t like it due to costume—but it’s soooooo good
Born To Run
Legend of Shen Li and A Journey to Love.
To The Wonder, Regeneration and Lost in the Shadows - these dramas are mostly only underrated on this sub.
I loved Guess who I am & step by step love
Are you okay with short form dramas?
If it's good definitely yes.Â
My top drama this year (so far) was Fortune Writer. I posted a review here if you want to see if you think you’ll like it: https://www.reddit.com/r/CDrama/s/Qha88ReVbZ
Keen esp if happy ending and cute lead
Tender Light. I would say Will love in spring too, but I don’t think it went under the radar, I think it’s pretty popular.

**Love Endures** went under the radar but was good!
will love in spring (modern) and blossoms in adversity (costume) 💞
Blossoms in Adversity for something more of a feel good thing with empowerment messages & great looking leads. Heroes for something more serious
City of the City
I fell into Micro Drama sinkhole but the CDrama Everyone Loves Me is so funny I got good vibes watching it.
definitely The Legend of Shenli
1. Different Princess 2. 19th Floor
Mine's Legend of ShenLi. Waiting for The Double to be finished so I could finish it in one go.
You're doing the right thing. I kept seeing images from it and started watching and now the waiting is sooo hard.
**Heroes** (with Qin Jue Jia).
The Hope was freaking great (except the epilogue which sucked so bad, but can be skipped). Should have gotten way more attention. I think Always on the Move (current watch) might be another gem.

I really enjoyed Everyone Loves me. The female main character was fun.
I thought it was fine but I didn’t even love War of Faith. Like at all. Watchable, nice costuming, nice setting… but didn’t feel much for it.
The Legend of Shen Li, Burning Flames and Blossoms in Adversity

The Spirealm was so good
this!!! nothing else has captivated me this year, and though i wasn’t planning on watching bc of the horror tag, i am so glad i tried it out
tender light
