September 2024 is here! Unlike new Chinese dramas released in August 2024, this September Cdramaland seemed a bit stingy in releasing good dramas.

And if you need some help with your watch list, we are here to help. Without further ado, this is the list of new upcoming Chinese dramas in September 2024. Happy reading!

The First Shot drama was packed with big names. For example, the producer of this new Chinese drama release in September 2024 is Zhang Yi Mou. This man is a legend in the Chinese entertainment industry. He is a renowned film director, producer, screenwriter, cinematographer and actor. Two of his famous creations were the House of Flying Dagger and Curse of Golden Flower.
These movies were classics that you should see at least once in your lifetime. And don’t forget The Flowers of War, starring the one and only Christian Bale. Aside from Zhang Yi Mou, the reason we put this drama on our list was, of course, Johnny Huang and Wang Zi Qi. Two equally attractive men in one drama? Sure, we wouldn’t miss it.

Their Wonderful Time is another game-themed romantic drama. Although this theme may not be everyone’s cup of tea, I always feel that a game-themed drama is a chance to mix reality with fantasy and modern costumes with period costumes. When two different genres are mixed, there is a potential for a new adventure. Exciting, isn’t it?

The poster of this September 2024 Chinese drama confused me. They said that Chen Zhe Yuan acted as one of the main leads in this drama, but we didn’t see his face. But on the second look, we finally recognized his full lips and round eyes. Chen Zhe Yuan with a cold expression and a different hairstyle truly a refreshing sight.

September 2024 might not be the month for Chinese modern drama. There were only a few of them. So, we were thrilled to wait for this one to be aired. The reason was not only the cute Tian Xi Wei and Xin Yun Lai (He played General Mo Fang in The Legend of Shen Li) but also because the guest role is Zhou Yu Tong. After her role in Will Love in Spring, we desperately wait for her new drama.
In Between is an urban drama about young people searching for love and self-discovery. They are unafraid of setbacks and failures. Their attitudes help them grow in different ways.
