Anyone here watches Mandarin (Chinese Dramas)

[Couch Cricketer]

I live in Singapore and someone recommended a chinese drama they are sort of like pakistani dramas usually end in 13-21 episodes. Have to watch with subtitles of course. I am on the 7th episode of this show it is a police procedural type of show. It has a different feel than western shows but I have to say I like it so far.

Well that was my first Mandarin show they have their own culture so that alone makes the show a bit different from western shows. Plus unlike western shows most of their dramas are based on novels like pakistani dramas so end in one season. I can't say the show was mind blowing or anything but it was something different after years of western police procedurals that last for years it was interesting to watch a show that actually had an end. Yes the story was interesting although you could feel in some of the dialogue Chinese government propaganda.

I hear Korean dramas are pretty good, not that I have watched any Asian dramas. Anime is enough for me
