[2020] Favourite Non-Romance Dramas

cynlynn’s top five non-romantic picks


By non-romance I mean: 

There is no romance
There is romance but it’s negligible


No. 5
A detective mystery drama with a man trying to decipher his past with dreams

Mesmerizing characters. True to its title. 
Scene StealerSun Yi Ning (Amy Sun) Bai Ling Xi and Yang Ye MingGuan Yun Ci 


No. 4
A psychological drama with three kids trying to catch a criminal

The mind-blowing part: An ending that never ends. 
Favourite Actor/CharacterQin Hao was exceptionally creepy as Zhang Dong Sheng
Why isn’t this rated higher when everyone is touting how amazing this drama is? Because it’s actually not my type of drama. I just joined the bandwagon. I definitely am more emotional than I am logical and this is a logical psychological drama. This being not my type at all and yet it scored so high is also a testament to how masterful this drama is


No. 3
A republican spy drama with agents trying to decipher who is "Old Ghost"

It's clever! The ghost will forever live on. 
Favourite Actor/Character: Wen Yong Shan (Janice Man) – Li Ning Yu ("Yu Jie")
Favourite OST: 马上又 – 一捧春风


No. 2
A murder mystery heart-breakingly and gratifyingly told. 

Favourite Moment: The hidden layers in the cartoon. 
Favourite OST: Aila Gato and Philip Halloun – You and I 


No. 1
A drama adaption of a shounen manga

Amazing cast chemistry, probably the best in 2020. 
You might not agree this belongs here if you think bromance is romance.
Favourite Actor/Character: Every single one of them. 
Favourite OST: Cao Yin – Our Adventure (我们的冒险)
