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 best is 'A Dream of Red Mansions'. It beautifully depicts the complex love and relationships within a large family in feudal society. The love between Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai is full of tenderness, misunderstandings and the constraints of family and society.
One of the best is 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen. It's a classic that tells the story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. Their relationship is filled with misunderstandings and pride at first, but gradually evolves into love. Another great one is 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Bronte. The passionate and tumultuous love between Heathcliff and Catherine is both tragic and unforgettable. Also, 'The Notebook' by Nicholas Sparks is a modern favorite. It shows a beautiful, long - lasting love story that tugs at the heartstrings.
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.
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.
'Me Before You' by Jojo Moyes is a best - selling romantic drama. It's about Louisa Clark who takes a job caring for Will Traynor, a quadriplegic. Their relationship develops in an unexpected way as they face many emotional and ethical dilemmas together.
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.
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.
For beginners, 'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green is a great choice. It's a modern and easy - to - read story about two teenagers with cancer who fall in love. It's very moving. Another one is 'Me Before You' by Jojo Moyes. It has a simple yet powerful love story between Louisa and Will. And 'Ella Enchanted' by Gail Carson Levine has a charming fairytale - like romantic plot that's accessible for new readers.
There were many Chinese dramas that had been remade from Korean dramas, including " Not Born,"" The Temptation to Go Home,"" Love Travelling Through a Thousand Years," and " Just Fell in Love with You." These Chinese dramas were all adapted from Korean dramas. Some were copied, while others were re-created in terms of plot, character, and ending. Although some of the remakes were loved by the audience, some were criticized. The remake of a Korean drama needed to find the right actors and the right adaptation method to truly gain the audience's approval.
