Chinese Youth Dramas: The precious innocence of friendship and first love gets especially sweetly told in contemporary Chinese dramas: truly, they serve to heat them all up in warmth. School hallways and the troubles of youthful adulthood in such an honest manner are bound to get that insatiable cocktail confused growing-up sensation. If you have no idea about where to start with C-dramas or just feel like binging and letting it all go, here are five Chinese youth dramas that should make your shortlist.
A Love So Beautiful is a backward glance, wherein the carefree innocence of Chen Xiaoxi reigned only in her unromantic love for the next-door neighbor, Jiang Chen. High school years and adult life whirl by in a cascade of loud fun, misunderstandings, and nostalgia-given memories. The audience can relate to it as very real and heart-crushing but leaves a warm haze of nostalgia that heals the soul.
It seems perfect artsy kids in college would call themselves ‘professionally single,’ whereas they’re actually somewhat into each other- this perfectly sums up the whole uniquely interesting thing about the awkward sweetness of young love with an honest punch.
Go Ahead is permissible within the romance genre, but it traverses family estrangement and emotional reconciliation brilliantly. Three unrelated children have grown up together-a hallowed bond of love and understanding-through thick and thin, braving the realities of adulting together since, well, that is life. True friendship and family-new fangled ideas in the youth drama construct.
Case around four college girls with different personalities, Be Yourself tells the story of identity challenges, ambition, and self-exploration. With such an inspiring approach, it’s adventurous-all the while endorsing women’s independence and individuality.
Just an Encore carries the beautiful yet trivial story of teenage angst mingled with friendship and unexpressed crushes. The effect is hardly spectacular, yet uncomplicated and honest in heart-wrenching.
