So what is it?

This repository is a curated list of recommended Chinese short-form dramas, known in Chinese as short dramas or micro-dramas. The format is distinctive: each episode runs one to three minutes, and a full series typically spans 60 to 120 episodes. The list was assembled around 2025 and 2026, focusing on highly rated titles. The recommendations are grouped into three categories. The first covers modern romance dramas, including titles about flash marriages and billionaire storylines. The second covers historical costume dramas set in ancient Chinese settings. The third covers urban and workplace stories with career and social-climbing themes. The README points viewers toward a third-party streaming site called Nunu Cinema, which aggregates these titles and links to search pages for specific dramas. It also notes that the original content comes from Chinese short-video platforms including Douyin (the Chinese version of TikTok), Kuaishou, and Hongguo. There is no code in this repository. It is purely a reference list, similar to a personal watchlist or a community-curated index. Anyone looking for Chinese short-form drama recommendations, particularly in the romance and costume-drama genres, would find it useful as a starting point.
