2. Phượng Cửu - Eternal Love of Dream
Eternal Love of Dream became one of the hottest Chinese dramas when it was released. Thanks to its immense popularity, the cast, both leading and supporting, saw a rise in their media rankings.
In the drama, Dilraba Dilmurat plays Phượng Cửu, the granddaughter of the powerful Emperor of Thanh Khâu, Bạch Thiển (played by Yang Mi), and the only red-furred nine-tailed fox in the Four Seas and Eight Wildernesses. Phượng Cửu shares a sweet romance with Dong Hua Dijun (played by Gao Wei Guang).
With her lively acting, incredibly cute expressions, innocent yet clever personality, and stunning beauty, Dilraba Dilmurat easily captured the hearts of viewers, especially fans of the original work.

3. Lý Huệ Trân - The Beautiful Lý Huệ Trân
The Beautiful Lý Huệ Trân is the Chinese adaptation of the popular drama She Was Pretty. The story revolves around a girl who once had it all—beauty, personality, and intelligence—but is now ordinary, and must protect her first love, who has grown from 'ugly' to handsome. A cold, aloof young man escapes his childhood image of being unattractive.
In the series, Dilraba Dilmurat plays the lead role of Lý Huệ Trân. However, her portrayal of the character received mixed reviews, as her appearance was too striking to match the 'ugly' concept of the character. While the Korean version of the show had Hwang Jung Eum convincingly portraying an 'ugly' character, Dilraba’s portrayal in the Chinese version was considered cute with a quirky fashion sense instead. Her performance also received some criticism for being overacted, and it didn’t resonate well with audiences.
Despite the comparisons to the Korean version, 'The Beautiful Lý Huệ Trân' remains a notable Chinese drama to watch this year.
