    I was wondering about dramas adapted from novels. I saw some of them and liked them.

    Dramas I watched or heard which were adapted from novels
    1. Love O2O based on novel "A slight smile is very charming." (My most fav of all that I watched)
    2. Le Coup de Foudre based on "I don't like the world, I only like you."
    3. The King's Avatar based on "The Kings Avatar"
    4. My sunshine based on "Silent Separation"

    So other from these please recommend some other adaptations (preferably Romance genre)

    I really liked also Love me if you dare and When a snail loves. They changed the plot enough that you still have some unexpected twists.

    To be honest, I would prefer the novel. One of the plot change; I have read the original and how it was linked. When watching how it was changed on tv, umm.... I like how the plot was interconnected. On tv? Oh... oh kay...

    And let’s not talk about the ending <.<

    A lot of the ones I’ve watched are mentioned here but well...
    *Memory lost
    *Love me if you dare
    *when a snail loves
    *first romance( I’m not sure about the drama name)
    *see you again (NSADN☝︎︎)
    * Don’t think of interrupting my study (NSADN)
    Okay tbh there are others as well you can try using the “adapted to drama” tag
    Hope this was helpful ಠ_ಠ

    I will make it easy for you. Every Chinese romance drama is best on a novel
    Just head on to Mydramalist and use their search. You can limit to country

    I do not think that his wonderful works would fall under Romance at least not in a traditional sense
