Actors worth noting from dramas I've watched, in approx order that I noticed them. Warning: some notes about roles may contain spoilers.
When they get a second chance at life (and it almost never goes the way they'd want)... not counting multiple lives as immortals
At least one kiss that gives the feels. No dead fish or sly camera angles.❥ = sweet❦ = spicy⍢ = funny
Visually gorgeous, eye-catching, or otherwise interesting to watch. Don’t look away or you might miss something
Shows featuring special accents or dialects, sometimes for comedic effect. I don’t know the names of dialects, but tried to identify what…
The remaining with fewer shows about them. Qing, Ming, Tang get their own lists. Everybody else is here. Not counting fake dynasties
Ones heavily revolving around the royal palace, royal family, harem, and relationship between kingdoms.
The rare shows where the story is less about the couple getting together and more about them partnering and working together
Loved one person but then fell in love with another. Focus on main leads, only really notable side characters included since many of them like…
Characters with multiple/hidden identities, typically concurrently with different names and lives unrelated to each other. Not counting ones…
Most shows I’ve watched seem to center around a woman’s story, so here are the few about a man
Set in jiang hu (江湖) with various sects as the backdrop. Honorable mentions for singular bandit camps/gangs/factions (山寨 or 门派).
One that make me feel smarter, or that I need to be smarter. :-P
Where the premise is time travel or landing in an alternate universe, bringing modern thoughts to that world (generally more traditional context)
Curious how many shows I’ve watched that might have been on air during my birthdays over the years. In chronological order
Shows I've watched where the main premise is the woman passing as a man. Also honorable mentions of characters who pulled it off but it wasn’t…
One or both of a couple has to marry another person they don’t love, usually sacrifice for duty, for most/all of their life. Not counting…
Shows featuring some sort of sports, games, and/or competition element.
Shows with any interesting scene related to dancing and/or martial arts performances
Grouped first by ones I watched where they enter the video game vs more of a focus on esports. Then the rest I haven’t seen and will organize…
Reported and waiting for them to clear... handled on and off from Jan 31 2021 https://mydramalist.com/discussions/support/6362-duplicates?pid=1528151&page=79#p1528151…
Like their roles as the young versions of main leads. Curious how they will evolve as they grow up
Not just pretty or easy on the eyes, but I start getting distracted looking at them and don't pay attention to the show — distractingly beautiful
Cool, unexpected skills these people have. Not counting singing or dancing since everybody seems to do that these days. In order of discovery
