My Favorite Chinese Doramas!
Eternal Love!
Three Lives, Three Worlds: Ten Thousand Miles of Peach Blossoms. The series is inspired by the book (Pillow Book: Three lives, three worlds).
I looove the series, and the books not so much but they're still good.
It's a xianxia about Gods, Kingdoms and Animals that cultivate immortality.
Princess Weiyoung :)
It's a wuxia story about a princess who loses everything and has to up her game in order to live! Anything more I could say is probably a spoiler.
Empress of China
This show is based on the real story of Wu Zetian, who actually owned many names among the one used the most here - Meiniang.
She was the only Empress of China, ruling all by herself and not as a mother to the Emperor and covering a whole Dinasty full of riches and prosperous time for China.
Really goooood! And it tries to be as accurate as possible, so we might learn a bit about History here.
The Legend of Xiao Chuo
Yanyan is one of the three daughter of the Khitan Prime Minister. She is impetulant and always tried to prove herself useful to the Empire. Nobody seems to take her seriously though...
The series accompanies Yanyan through life while she slowly grows up and finds her fit in the world.
This is also based on the true story of Empress Xiao Yanyan (953–1009), who ruled during the Liao Dyansty. This series also does a great job in exploring Khitan culture! Soooo there's a lot more History to learn here, also.
Oh My General!
Ah Zhao is not the typical lady... She fights as an army's general for the crown as a living! But then she had to marry a womanizer, feminine man. That's fine, except they never get along.
This is a lot of the funny side, things are just not serious at all. Don't think too much, just laugh when it's funny and is should be great.
