Cdrama recommendation for a starter

If you could recommend someone one cdrama to get them into chinese dramas, which one would it be?

(it's lowkey for my benefit, i didn't watch a lot of cdramas, but every ones i've watch were interesting, i just need recommendations, since i don't know much about them)

 kpun:

What's your or the persons preferred genre or setting?

I'd say i'm a fan of :

• historical romance, 
• crossdressing romance (female to male), loved "Arsenal Military Academy" sm
• survival/apocalyptic
• psychological or dramas that makes you sit down and reflect
• really any drama with well written characters and good plot (i'm a sucker for plot twists)

 kpun:

The top 100 c-dramas here on mdl are a good place to start, if you have no preferences at all.

Okay tysm! I was just not sure where to start, there're so many, so I asked if u wanted someone to get into cdramas what will u recommend them in general, i had no genre in mind

 kpun:

I don't watch dramas that focus on romance and modern dramas, so I can only list costume dramas :) Surely others will have some interesting suggestions in those departments...

Ok! Thank you so much again, you're leading the way for me there lol, thank  uu :))

My first cdrama was Ever Night. I loved it but I was also very confused, lol.

Based upon what you listed for genres I'd go with Fall in Love and City of Streamer for historicals with the same time period/aesthetics of Arsenal Military Academy, The Untamed and Love and Redemption for historical/fantasy, Go Ahead and A River Runs Through It for something modern, and Under the Skin and Reset for psychological . Also Bromance is Taiwanese and a great cross-dressing classic with sizzling chemistry. And Bloody Romance for a personal rec (it's my favorite).
