In these Chinese dramas, the love and romance between the leads bloom when they find themselves in a fake relationship.

This could be an agreement to pretend they’re dating or even a contract marriage – what matters is that at this point, they don’t have genuine feelings for each other.

Eventually, they’ll find themselves falling, and my favorite moment in these dramas is the point when they realize that the other person has become very dear to them.

6. Don’t Mess With Ex-Girlfriend
