Good afternoon,

This post is being updated daily to reflect which fandoms have been signed up for, and how many people are offering them. If you see a series with a lot of signups that you can do, don’t be discouraged from signing up! A lot of signups means a lot of people will probably be interested in donating for it. We really do need more people signing up for this to be successful. Please continue to share our promo post.

To note, when donations open, there will be clarification as to if NSFW is available for a fandom. For example, say two people signed up to do New Life Begins, but neither of them can do NSFW, then NSFW prompts will not be available for that series.

Romance of the Orange and Banana

[palehorsemen]

[carlyleandco]

okay my fellow Cdrama fanatics, I’m in need of some recs as someone who is still fairly new to the scene…

Historical Cdramas I’ve enjoyed

Story of Minglan ~ this show is my Roman Empire…like I don’t go more than a couple of days without thinking about it. Love how much depth there was to the characters and their relationships. I got so much satisfaction from watching Minglan run circles around every one else using her intelligence and wits. Every time Gu Tingye popped up in the background as her backup support I lost it! Talk about power couple.

Love Like the Galaxy ~ first historical Cdrama I have watched and apart from Minglan, I think it has ruined the rest for me. This drama has so many layers. Niao Niao is an intelligent, and opportunistic female lead. She is unabashedly herself, and the story is not afraid to depict her as unlikeable at first instance. I deeply appreciated the focus on female relationships and family. And Ling Buyi has ruined all other antiheroes for me lmao

Destined ~ I thought this one would be on par with Minglan at first, but it did lose its way in the latter half. I felt the female lead was relegated to the background, which was frustrating as they built her up to be this shrewd businesswoman and then we never get to see her in action. I did appreciate how wholesome and untoxic Jiu Si was as a romantic lead. I thought her relationship with the SML could have been drawn out more, however.

Romance of Tiger and Rose ~ I don’t think this drama is anywhere on par with the above three, but I still enjoyed it. Definitely a fun and unserious romp. Zhou Lu Si is just so likeable in all her roles.

Xianxia I’ve enjoyed:

Love and Redemption ~ I literally fell down a hole with this drama. I could not stop watching. Even though the female leads starts with that token immaturity Cdramas are known for, it’s explained in-world and she goes through a noticeable growth/stepping into adulthood arc. I also LOVED how powerful she was and how often she got to use her powers. Also the romance? Sifeng?!!? Yeah I was a mess. However, one thing that irritated me was the lack of agency Xuan Ji had toward the end of the show.

Eternal Love ~ it’s a classic for a reason. I loved Bai Qian’s resolve, steadfastness, and maturity. Her relationship with Ye Hau blossomed naturally, and they had different obstacles to face as a couple as opposed to what I have seen so far.

Love Between Fairy and Devil ~ speaks for itself, and I love enemies to lovers.

Extra: points if the female lead is powerful, or is on a journey to realising her power. Whether that’s through her intelligence, empathy, or in the case of xianxia, actual mystical power. Bonus points if she’s a character like Xuan Ji who can go supernova and destroy everyone lol

Historical dramas I have not enjoyed:

The Sword and the Brocade ~ I didn’t even finish this one. My overall impression was, having already finished Minglan prior, eating cardboard after having been to a 5 star Michelin restaurant. Everything was so bland and dull, even down to the cinematography.

Princess Silver ~ I dragged myself to the finish line with this one. The plot just became so utterly ludicrous and relied on the audiences being invested in the main leads without actually letting them spend screen time together. I also hated that we had glimpses of the female leads power but that she never got to fully realise this. Just overly contrived and trite.

Xianxia I did not enjoy

Ashes of Love ~ this was the first xianxia I ever watched some years back. Given I was new to the genre, I think I found some of the characteristic features a bit jarring and I stopped watching Cdramas as a result. If I watched it again now I may be able to make it through. Ultimately, I just could not stomach how naive the main female character. I understand this is typical, but it was another level of nauseating that I have not found an equal to since.

Favorite chinese drama female leads?

going to include taiwanese drama female leads as well!

top 5 cdrama/twdrama female leads!

chu xuanji, love and redemption. she doesnt understand any of the senses until she collects them in a mirror like shikon jewel shards. she's martial arts deadweight unless she's the god of war, in which case she gets her own ass-kicking theme song by the prince of mandopop. she wants a nap and snacks. she tried to fight heaven in a parking lot. she loves her man. she doesn't know what love is. she is a man. she is the moment.

-

huang yu xuan, someday or one day. she's grieving, but she'll kick your ass over it. timetraveler and transmigrator. her boyfriend has custom bobbleheads of them in his car because they're a certified One Of Those Couples. inspires soft pastel drawings of first loves running the rain. she'll tell you how to ask her out but you have to wait approximately 20 years and one other boyfriend for it to work

-

jin yu, sound of the desert

was literally raised by wolves? but that doesn't stop the #hustle. opens up a business empire through 100% cunning. manages to get both hu ge and eddie peng totally in love with her, nice work!

-

xiao qian/qianqian, the romance of tiger and rose

a writer who's lost the plot. agent of chaos under the guise of storyboarding. total shitstirrer who has a taste for the dramatic. knows the best way to poison herself is set to a string quartet and fireworks display. i love her.

-

feng zhi wei, the rise of phoenixes

i havent finished this drama because im a flop. but she's playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers. best dressed because her eternal not!boyfriend is a machiavellian weaver of secrets but also perhaps fabrics

honorable mentions:

li jianjian, go ahead. art bro who survived the worst mother in law ive ever seen

su "piggy" cancan, wait, my youth. a loveable dumbass who DIDNT CHOOSE THE SCIENCE TRACK IN A YOUTH DRAMA

awu/wang xuan, monarch industry. a respectable lady who is so, so tired of the men in her life (barring her husband)

xiao lanhua, love between fairy and devil. a little orchid fairy who's Doing Her Best

[dearestpartnerofgreatness]

Han Shuo: Qianqian kissed me!

Baiji, gasping: NO!

Meng Guo: Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!

Han Shuo: It's unbelievable.

Meng Guo: Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!

Baiji: Okay, okay, we wanna hear everything. Meng Guo, get the wine. Han Shuo, does this end well or do we need tissues?

Han Shuo: Oh it ended VERY well.

Meng Guo, running in with wine: Do not start without me! Do not start without me!

Baiji: Alright, let's hear about the kiss. Was it like a soft brush against your lips, or was it like, a you know, 'I gotta have you now' kinda thing?

Han Shuo: Well, at first it was really intense, you know, and then...oh god, and then we just sorta sunk into it...

Baiji and Meng Guo, squealing: Aww!

[meanwhile, eating casually]

Qianqian: And uh, and then I kissed him.

Zi Rui: Tongue?

Qianqian: Yeah.

Zi Rui: Cool.

This is to the people who make powerpoints on why to watch some dramas : never stop doing them. Your little powerpoints convinced me to watch more dramas than you believe.
