For me, the best time in Chinese drama stories is when the underdog rises to the top. In many Chinese dramas, there are characters who start from a low position, facing all kinds of difficulties. But through their own efforts, they gradually overcome these difficulties and achieve success. This kind of plot often occurs in business - themed dramas or dramas about martial arts training. The time when they finally achieve their goals is the best time, which shows the power of perseverance and the pursuit of dreams.
One of the most touching best friend stories in Chinese dramas is from 'A Love So Beautiful'. Jiang Chen and Chen Xiaoxi were friends since childhood. Their relationship was full of bickering at first but gradually grew into deep affection. They supported each other through different stages of life, like in school when Xiaoxi was not good at studies and Jiang Chen would help her. It showed how true friendship can withstand the test of time and different situations, and how friends can be there for each other through thick and thin.
I think 'The Legend of Zhen Huan' is a remarkable Chinese drama based on a novel. It portrays the life of women in the imperial harem. There are complex relationships, power struggles, and emotional entanglements. The acting is superb, and the plot is full of twists and turns that keep the audience engaged from start to finish.
The Chinese drama 'Nirvana in Fire' also has a great best - friend - like relationship. Mei Changsu and his friends are loyal to each other. Although they are in a complex political situation, they trust one another deeply. For example, his friends help him carry out his plans without hesitation, and he also protects them. Their story shows that in Chinese dramas, best friends can be comrades in arms, facing difficulties and challenges together with unwavering loyalty.
Well, a great time drama story often has complex characters. They are not one - dimensional but full of contradictions and growth. For example, in 'Downton Abbey', the characters from different classes all have their own dreams, struggles and changes over time. Also, a good time drama story usually has a vivid historical backdrop. It can make the viewers feel like they are really in that era. Another important aspect is the plot twists. There should be some unexpected events to keep the audience engaged.
Chinese time-travel dramas have been very popular in recent years. Here are a few time-travel dramas that I think are better:
" Startling Step by Step ": This drama tells the love story of a modern girl, Ruolan, who traveled to the Qing Dynasty and the 14th Prince. The plot was thrilling and the actors performed well.
"Fuyao": This drama is adapted from the novel of the same name and tells the story of the female protagonist Fuyao and the Undeserved Disaster. The storyline was fast paced, the characters had distinct personalities, and the special effects were exquisite.
3." Palace Heart Locking Jade ": This drama tells the love story of a modern girl, Qingchuan, who traveled to the Qing Dynasty and Prince Kangxi. The plot was light and humorous, and the actors performed well.
[4]< Chu Qiao's Biography >: This drama tells the story of how the female lead, Chu Qiao, survived in the chaotic world and fell in love with the prince. The plot was thrilling and the actors performed well.
These are the Chinese time-travel dramas that I think are better. I hope you will like them!
I would highly recommend 'Meteor Garden'. It is a classic Chinese drama love story. The love - hate relationship between the poor girl and the rich and arrogant boy is a typical but always appealing plot. The story is filled with many emotional ups and downs that keep the audience hooked.
In 'A Love So Beautiful', the love between Jiang Chen and Chen Xiaoxi is also a great example. It shows the pure and innocent love in high school days. They start as classmates, with Xiaoxi having a big crush on Jiang Chen. Their relationship develops slowly over time, facing various challenges from family and school, but their love remains strong.
I think 'Journey to the West' is also among the best. It is a classic adventure story filled with magic, demons, and the journey of a monk and his three disciples to obtain Buddhist scriptures. It reflects Chinese values, such as perseverance and the battle between good and evil.
