6. Domestic suspense dramas win audiences' heart

Many TV dramas produced in recent years were often mocked by netizens for their absurd plots, weak storylines, and poor performances by unskilled cast members who cared more about their looks than acting.

However, The Bad Kids has won the love of audiences. Netizens claimed that they "haven't seen such a good web drama made in China for ages". It was rated 8.9 points out of 10 on Douban, a platform with many critical and sharp-tongued users.

Viewers have warmed to the performances of the lead players and supporting cast as well as the music, settings and lighting.

In addition to The Bad Kids, other domestic suspense dramas also have attracted widespread public attention this year due to their high standards.
