I am 34 years old and looking for good Asian dramas that are more relate-able with my age group, perhaps family oriented/work/relationships that dont appear too superficial or teeny bopper (I hope someone can understand what i mean). I don't speak the language so english subs are a must or at least dubbed in Vietnamese.
Examples of great dramas that had me hooked:
Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace
The First Half of My Life
This pretty much sums up the only Chinese dramas i've ever watched lol
Gawd, i love First Half of My Life, i am patiently and eagerly waiting for season 2. Still a bit miffed that they changed the FL. But to have Liu Tao Opposite Jin Dong is a dream come true. So that is my only consolation.
And oh, we are same aged so i guess i can relate to how you feel about less teeny booper shows.
How about taiwan dramas:

- All is well - family cebtered, that centers around 3 siblings
- I will find you a better home
- Story of minglan - this is a historical drama, so i dont think the issue of times is relatable, but still i highly highly recommend this.
- Nirvan in Fire - the only drama i rated 10/10 ever. Romance is but 5% of drama and the 95% is awesomeness personified.
- The sword and the brocade
How about taiwan dramas:
- Yong Jiu grocery store
- The world between us
- Wake up - medical drama with 2 seasons
- Someday or one day - supernatural/fantasy drama
Thanks for your list. I am way older than anybody else on this board I'm sure so I'm always on the lookout for more mature series. Am new to cdramas and I'd like to find one that I'd like. Everything else that I've seen has been so cringey.
All is Well (2019)
Story of Ming Lan - Huge family drama that focuses on multiple generations. The main lead starts out young but by the end is a grown woman.
I Will Find You A Better Home
Battle of Changsha - The main lead starts out young but gets older throughout. Like Ming Lan this has a large cast of characters of many different ages.
