中国电视剧被称为“C剧”。如今，越来越多的“C剧”在海外悄然崭露头角。

This user added that Chinese producers and actors go for a more subtle approach and are so creative at it. "Even if a character doesn't talk much, you see love just by the way he looks at another character."
除了对表达爱情的不同处理方式，对女性成长故事的展现也吸引了大量年轻人。
Beyond just the universal love of romance stories, C-dramas seem to resonate with young audiences when they tell stories about women.
