Stress-Free Dramas
-
1. Le Coup de Foudre
Chinese Drama - 2019, 35 episodes
Based on a true story, so there’s a lot less tropey-ness and more realistic encounters. There are misunderstandings, but it’s something you’d see in real life, not so much something where you’d shout at the MCs to just sit down and talk to each other. The couple have eyes only for each other so no one else is even a thought

2. Tu es mon héros
Chinese Drama - 2021, 40 episodes
Such a solid relationship after its been established. They’re rock solid and face the world together. The side couple is adorable, but it’s extremely slow-burn and fraught with drama and misunderstandings. Worth it in the end.
-
3. Tu es Ma Gloire
Chinese Drama - 2021, 32 episodes
Mild misunderstandings before the relationship gets established, but after they’re together, they support each other so well and nothing gets in their way.

4. Moonlight
Chinese Drama - 2021, 36 episodes
The acting feels like human beings, not just pretty people and tropes. There’s a good feeling of companionship between the main leads even when they bicker and disagree. All the drama is on the main couple as they’re kinda on again, off again.

5. Mr. Perfect and Miss Almost
Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
The whole romance is based off a common trope in dramas: contract marriage. But the characters grow and learn and best of all, they complement each other well. This isn’t two perfect people getting together, it’s two very flawed people who come together and make up for the other’s shortcomings. The chemistry is off the charts and altogether a very relaxing show to watch

6. Sweet Teeth
Chinese Drama - 2021, 22 episodes
Tropey for sure, but it’s super sweet and the friendship of the main couple before and after they get together is absolute goals. It’s very enjoyable and while there’s the smallest friction towards the end, it’s dealt with quickly and doesn’t cause for much angst overall.
-
7. Meeting You
Chinese Drama - 2020, 28 episodes
Once the couple is together, they’re inseperable. ML and FL are utterly besotted with each other
-
8. Falling Into Your Smile
Chinese Drama - 2021, 31 episodes
There’s angst, but it’s not related to the relationship. The couple sticks together once they’re together and they don’t break up
-
9. When I Fly Towards You
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
-
10. Meet Yourself
Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes
