1. Ode to Joy - It's the story of a group of female friends who become friendly because they all live on the same hall of a highrise apartment building in Shanghai, and their various life struggles and stories. This one is a really fantastic show if you love interesting diverse female characters, plus, the actress for Nihuang, Liu Tao, is the lead actress in this, and Prince Jing, Wang Kai, plays kind of a hilariously flirty podiatrist (not paired with Nihuang's character, but someone else). It's a lot of fun and great to watch.
2. Dr. Qin, Medical Examiner - It's pure fake forensic trash nonsense, but it's also charmingly OT3, surprisingly competent and compelling for being a fairly low budget web drama, and did so well that none of its three actors would return for the sequel because they'd all become too expensive and busy with other more prestigious projects. I liveblogged this as I watched it because it was so fun and I like making other people suffer with me. Highly recommend.
3. When a Snail Falls in Love - Another Wang Kai/Prince Jing drama! This one is fancy police shenanigans, and he basically plays Justice McPoliceface and is EXTREMELY HANDSOME. The main character is a psychological profiler who basically failed all her police academy physicals, and is on the homicide squad as an intern out of sufferance. Her commanding officer? Justice McPoliceface. This one has some pretty disturbing imagery for one of the murders, but is super slick, really entertaining, and has some really amazing female friendships portrayed.
