Romantic Chinese dramas are epic for so many things, but one sure thing is that they’ll make you swoon until you melt in a puddle.

I’m talking about leads (male and female) who’ll have you totally weak in the knees with their lines & romance that’ll make you wish you could see the man on the moon yourself. 

And in all these sweet Cdramas, some totally amazing dramas have stood out and I’ve listed 20 such that are simply the best. 

1. Put Your Head On My Shoulder

Si Tu Mo’s life is turned completely upside down when she meets Gu Wei Yi, but despite all the crazy changes, she realizes he might just be the one for her.

Watching them fall in love was seriously the most precious thing ever. They had their fair share of conflicts and challenges, but they always managed to find their way back to each other. 

And let me tell you, the moment they finally realized that they were meant to be together is probably going to be the most beautiful thing you’ll ever see.

This show is all about making the right choices and finding the right person, and it just fills my heart with so much joy.

If you haven’t watched it yet, you are seriously missing out! This is one of the sweetest Chinese love dramas I have watched, and I just know you’ll enjoy it.

2. Love O2O

Xiao Nai and Wei Wei’s love story is one that truly captivated my heart, because despite their differences, they were drawn to each other in a way that was both beautiful and powerful.

Xiao Nai, with his remarkable talent and intelligence, was immediately impressed by Wei Wei’s beauty and brains, and you can already tell how their relationship progressed. 

If you’re looking for a sports Chinese drama that will make you fall in love and move you to your core, Love O2O is definitely worth watching – It’s heartwarming and emotional and it will leave you rooting for Xiao Nai and Wei Wei every step of the way.

3. Time To Fall In Love

Jinxi’s urgent need for money to treat an allergic reaction on her face made her blackmail Yanxi, her twin sister, to take her place and sign a contract with Gu Xicheng, the CEO of a large company, to become his girlfriend – in exchange for money to treat their sick mother. 

But, it turns out that Yanxi is the same person who helped Xicheng’s grandmother and who had mistakenly applied for a job as a girlfriend at his company and this leads to a serendipitous connection between the two.

I can’t say more without giving out more details, but Xicheng, the male lead, actually made the offer to Yanxi, whom he had already met – confusing, right? You’ll just have to watch it. 

The bond between the two grew stronger as they faced various challenges together, and Yanxi’s true character shone through her selfless actions and pleasant personality.

Time To Fall In Love is one of the most captivating Chinese romantic dramas with fake relationships you definitely shouldn’t miss.

4. A Love So Beautiful

This amazing high school Chinese drama follows Chen Xiaoxi and her childhood friend Jiang Chen – Xiaoxi was an endearing character, and Jiang Chen was quite the catch.

Though Xiaoxi had harbored feelings for him for a while, it took some time for Jiang Chen to realize his own feelings.

If you’re looking for a touching and tender Chinese romance drama that will tug at your heartstrings, I highly recommend A Love So Beautiful.

5. Well-Intended Love

The best romance Chinese drama revolves around Xia Lin, a talented and determined young woman who is diagnosed with a type of blood cancer.

Luckily, the hospital finds a bone marrow match for her in YiZhou, a successful CEO. To help her overcome her illness, they agree to sign a marriage contract.

The chemistry between Xia Lin and YiZhou was electric, and I can assure you that you’ll be rooting for them every step of the way.

Since you’ve gotten to this point in this article, I’ll let you know something for free: This drama is just as good as they said it was and if you’ve been wondering, Well Intended Love is so worth watching!

I’m usually very wary of Cdramas that become incredibly popular because they all feel like remakes of each other, but this drama had me hooked from the very beginning. 

6. You Are My Glory

In this e-sports romantic Cdrama, Yu Tu and Jingjing were both in love with each other during their high school days, but they never confessed their feelings.

Ten years later, Jingjing became a famous star, while Yu Tu was a successful gaming designer, and they crossed paths once again through a game, and Jingjing recognized him as the boy she had loved from years ago.

As they spent more time together, they discovered that their feelings for each other had never faded, and they finally confessed their love.

But, they soon realized that fame and success came with its own set of challenges, and they were forced to navigate the complexities of their newfound love amidst the pressures of the entertainment industry.

7. Thousand Years For You

In this drama, Yu Dengdeng was a fierce bandit, and she was feared by many, but one day, she met the man who would change her life forever: Lu Yan.

Dengdeng was smitten with him from the start and wanted nothing more than to marry him.

At this point, Lu Yan had saved Dengdeng’s life many times, as he was driven by a deep desire to protect her.

Unknown to her, they had known each other in a previous life as Yun Xi and Lu Yan, and their connection was undeniable.

On their wedding night, Lu Yan extracted the energy from his chest to give it back to Dengdeng, knowing that it would result in his own death. Despite the tragedy, Dengdeng’s love for Lu Yan never wavered.

A year later, while walking down the street, Dengdeng came face to face with a man who looked strikingly similar to Lu Yan.

It was an open ending, and I didn’t know if it was Lu Yan returned to life, or just a coincidence.

Either way, the love story of Yu Dengdeng and Lu Yan is one of those bittersweet most romantic Cdramas that left a lasting impression on me, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as well. 

8. The King’s Woman

Gongsun Li and Jing Ke were childhood sweethearts, but fate separated them when Gongsun Li was forced to become Ying Zheng’s Royal concubine.

Despite her already carrying Jing Ke’s child, Ying Zheng still loved her and her children and Gongsun Li found herself falling for him too, but tragedy struck when Jing Ke was arrested.

Torn between her love for both men, Gongsun Li made a heartbreaking decision and drank poison, leading to a devastating ending that will leave you in tears.

This romantic historical Chinese drama shows love in all its faces – sweet, sad, melodramatic, tragic – and I loved it all the more for it.

9. Love is Sweet

As they caught up, Jiang Jun discovered an old photograph of the two of them from high school and a love letter from Yuan Shuai, in where he confessed that he had had a crush on her for ten years but was always too afraid to tell her.

It became clear that their childhood friendship was more than just platonic.

10. My Little Happiness

12. Sweet Teeth

She was there to get her teeth straightened (after being bullied for it) and never expected to find love there.
