I'll update this list from time to time, but may not get to it every time I add a new review. If anyone else wants to review Cdramas in these forums, they're very welcome to do so. Just add your list in a reply below.
I have been posting my reviews mostly in the
Science Fiction and Fantasy TV Shows forum, but I've also posted some in the
General Movies forum. As I start this list, there are some Cdrama movies in the Detective Dee series that I've watched but not yet reviewed. Don't know when I'll get around to them.
