Depends on what you're into: drama? romance? wuxia? xianxia? historical? contemporary?

Xianxia: Love Between Fairy and Devil, The Untamed, Love Game In Eastern Fantasy, My Journey To You, Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red Moon Pact,
Costume Drama (court intrigue): The Double, The Princess Royal, Story of Pearl Girl
