Finished Pursuit of Jade? Here are 5 trending dramas to watch next

You finished the final episode. Now every new drama has the difficult job of filling the Pursuit of Jade gap.

That is the thing about finishing a drama you genuinely enjoyed. You are not always looking for something exactly the same. Sometimes you want the same emotional pull, sometimes you want another beautiful world to disappear into, and sometimes you just want a completely different genre.

Luckily, 2026 has not been quiet. There are new romances, thrillers and period dramas competing for your evenings, including several titles already available on iQIYI.

Pick your next watch by mood

Start with the feeling you want next, then let the watchlist take it from there.

If what you loved most about Pursuit of Jade was the scale, atmosphere and romance, staying in fantasy territory makes sense. If you mainly want something easy to settle into after work, a contemporary romance may be the better reset.

If you are ready for a bigger change, moving into action or suspense can make the next watch feel fresh without losing the strong character-driven storytelling.

5 dramas worth adding to your list

From another sweeping romance to a modern iQIYI love story and a sharp action thriller, there is plenty to move on to next.

The Eternal Fragrance is the most natural first stop if you still want the sweep of fantasy romance. It keeps the sense of entering another fully realised world, which is often exactly what viewers miss when a long period drama ends.

Never-Ending Summer moves into a modern setting but keeps the emotional pull. The story stretches from youth into adulthood, so it suits anyone who likes romance built around separation, reunion and feelings that never quite went away.

The Best Thing is gentler. Its urban setting and slower doctor-patient-to-neighbours romance make it a good choice when you want something warm rather than dramatic.

In Your Radiant Season offers another contemporary option, while A Shop for Killers is the clearest change of pace if you want action and suspense instead.

Still deciding?

If you want a quick answer, match the next drama to your mood.

Give the first episode or two a chance and see which story holds your attention. If it does not click, there are plenty of other options waiting.
