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.
Another great one is 'Gorky Park' by Martin Cruz Smith. It's set in the Soviet Union and follows the investigation of a triple murder in Moscow. The story gives a great insight into the Soviet society at that time while being a gripping crime tale.
One of the best historical fiction books is 'War and Peace' by Leo Tolstoy. It gives a vivid portrayal of Russian society during the Napoleonic era. Another great one is 'Gone with the Wind' which shows the American South during the Civil War and Reconstruction. 'The Pillars of the Earth' by Ken Follett is also highly regarded as it delves into the building of a cathedral in 12th - century England.
Well, 'I, Claudius' by Robert Graves is among the top historical fiction books. It tells the story of the Roman Empire from the perspective of Claudius. 'A Tale of Two Cities' by Charles Dickens is a classic that portrays the French Revolution. And don't forget 'The Pillars of the Earth' by Ken Follett, which is set in 12th - century England and shows the building of a cathedral and the social structure of the time.
This question was very subjective because everyone's definition of the best period romance drama might be different. However, according to the feedback and comments of some viewers, the following historical romance dramas were considered to be more classic:
1. The Great Sage of the Chinese Oscaristic Journey to the West Marries: This classic film was directed by Hong Kong movie maker Liu Zhenwei, and it tells the love story between Sun Wukong and Zixia Fairy. It received widespread praise and was considered a very classic historical romance drama.
2. Palace Ci of Ming Dynasty: This drama is a palace drama of Tang Dynasty, which tells the love story between Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei. It won the love of many audiences with its exquisite pictures and wonderful performances.
The Legend of Sword and Fairy: This drama is a fantasy drama about the love story between the three young masters of the Tang family and Yang Mi. It was famous for its touching plot and excellent acting.
The above are some of the more interesting ancient romance dramas, but this is only a part of it. Everyone had different opinions on the best period romance TV series, so they could try different ways to find their favorite works.
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.

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.
One factor is the ability to bring history to life. 'The Pillars of the Earth' does this beautifully by showing the day - to - day lives of the people building the cathedral. Another is the relevance to modern times. 'The Kite Runner' shows the long - lasting effects of war and political unrest, which is still relevant today. Also, a great historical fiction book usually has a compelling story. 'A Tale of Two Cities' has a complex and engaging plot that keeps readers hooked.
