It is quite long, however, and gets a bit boring in the middle. It’s got amazing acting, beautiful costumes, and incredible fight scenes.
THE LEGENDS CHINESE DRAMA 2018 SERIES
This historical series follows brilliant strategist Bai Pingting (played by the beautiful Angelababy) and war general Chu Beijie (Wallace Chung) as they fall in love but are caught between two kingdoms which are fighting. While Jinxiu is a bit sweet for my taste, the drama is one of the few I did not fast-forward a bunch, because the plot it surprisingly tightly written and the ending is pleasantly satisfying. When Rong Jinxiu’s (played by Joe Chen) parents are murdered and her house burned down, she travels to Shanghai to discover the truth, getting caught up with mob boss Zuo Zhen (Huang Xiaoming) and other dangers. This series is set in 1930s Shanghai, when drug lords and night clubs ruled the city. And, surprisingly, this one has a happy ending! Cruel Romance (2015) There’s also a sequel, but it was horrible and I wouldn’t recommend it. It stars Yang Mi (one of my favorite Chinese actresses…we’ll see her later on this list) and Feng Shaofeng. The first half of this drama is pretty comedic, but the second half is much more serious. She also finds herself within a love triangle with the fourth prince and the eighth prince. Set during the Qing Dynasty, it follows a modern girl who gets transported back in time and must navigate the dangers of court life in the emperor’s palace.
This is the first Chinese drama I ever watched, and remains one of my favorites. Usually, I prefer slightly happier dramas, but Elvis Han and Sun Yi do such amazing jobs as the main actors and the costumes are simply beautiful, so I couldn’t help but put this on the list. It’s probably the most serious drama on this list. Most of the story revolves around her slowly falling in love with him, the deterioration of China due to war, and the drama with their families. 1912), this drama follows a wealthy young man who falls in love with a young woman and she is forced to marry him. Why you make me cry, China? So I’ll also be mentioning whether the ending is happy or sad, because I know a lot of people want a happy ending (so do I usually).Īlso, since many of these dramas are vastly different in genre and strengths, this list will be in no particular order. Also, China seems obsessed with sad endings to dramas. The one thing about Chinese dramas is that they are absolutely beautiful, though their character development is often rather poor and their plots can be a bit slow. Anyway, I thought I’d continue the series by sharing my favorite dramas from different countries. I’m amazed I wrote that post in March of 2017, so over a year ago. I did a post of Top 11 Korean Dramas and then promptly forgot to do any similar posts.
It’s been so long since I did a post centering around foreign dramas.
