The fact that this year I watched more older #cdramas than 2025 releases makes it worth posting my top 3 favorites from those non-2025releases, which are:-
1. #MingDynasty (rewatch; historical)
2. #TheRiseofPhoenixes (court intrigue)
3. #TheStoryofMinglan (family saga)
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

Oh yes, much as I loved #AJourneyToLove I couldn’t finish it either
The same with shows like #KillMeLoveMe & #TheRiseofPhoenixes - great characters, gripping stories, but I couldn’t stay around for the bitter ending!
If I’m going to be put through grief & suffering, I want a positive resolution 🙂

It’s a great drama, but as soon as it became clear it would end tragically I couldn’t continue - tho I know people who finished & still love it
Btw, #TRoP is a hashtag most people use for #TheRingsofPower (the #LordoftheRings spin off); so it may be worth using the full name for #TheRiseofPhoenixes

I'm a sucker for long dramas too! Especially angsty #historical ones like #TheRiseofPhoenixes, #EmpressesinthePalace, #TheLegendofMiYue, #TheLegendofXiaoChuo etc.

Too hard for me! I love ALL the female generals! But I think I have to nominate someone so I am gonna tweak it to senior Imperial Official on a crucial pacification mission! I give you: Ni Ni as Feng Zhi Wei/Wei Zhi in #TheRiseOfPhoenixes

About to be so depressed watching a few episodes of #TheRiseofPhoenixes. I will need a chaser of something silly for sure. #CDramas

True! LOVED #AshesofLove, #RomanceofTigerAndRose & #LoveAndRedemption. But really there were so many terrible ones, even with #ZhaoLusi. Now many more are excellent. But I'm glad they stopped the 60-90 episodes; couldn't believe the end of #TheRiseofPhoenixes after all those hours spent. 😭

I'm sorry but I don't think anyone will surpass #ChenKun in #TheRiseOfPhoenixes for me. His entrance still gives me goosebumps. #cdrama

Oh yeah! #TheRiseofPhoenixes (just finished watching) ripped my heart off. But I could understand the BE, given all the toxic/brutal happenings in the story. I loved Chen Kun and Ni Ni in this as well as all the supporting cast and the costumes and set pieces.

I hear you. This is why I couldn’t finish #TheRiseofPhoenixes
But just so you know, #LuZhen doesn’t have a BE like that. As a palace drama it’s not on the same level as #Empresses & #Yanxi, but I still enjoyed it. It’s one to try out when you’re in a drama slump perhaps

Saw this headline, and cdramas have totally taken over for me. Funny enough, I did watch #TheRiseOfPhoenixes early in my #cdrama journey too. Beautiful leads are beautiful.

Dropped #SmileCode after three episodes (may return to it at some point, idk) and am suddenly three episodes into #TheRiseOfPhoenixes
I feel Chen Kun is overdoing it, playing the fool, but maybe it's just me. Ni Ni tho... 🥰👌🏾

Tema: história dramática
The Rise Of Phoenixes são 70 episódios de uma montanha russa de emoções. Personagens inteligentes, carismáticos e que contam com muitos obstáculos na vida e no amor. Perfeito!
