RECOMMENDED/FAVORITE CHINESE DRAMAS

Posted: Mon Dec 01, 2008 8:16 pm Post subject: Post Rating: 0

I'm also here for recommendations. I recently was forced by a friend to watch Brown Sugar Macchiato and ended up liking it for the crack (and Ya Tou), then watched Hei Tang Qun Xia Zhuan/Legend of Brown Sugar Chivalries. And now I'm looking for other (action) comedies, preferrably subbed (would try non-subbed easy story in Mandarin, need subs for Cantonese).
I don't know many series yet. Started to watch Mars, but haven't been in the mood for such a story for ages. Liked Devil Beside You. Didn't watch more than a couple of minutes of Hana Kimi.
Any ideas? Idols are welcome, too.

1-MARS
2-devil beside you

Hello All,

I'm quite new in chinese drama and I've never seen one at this. I know, it's a shame.
So I'd like some recommendation about a drama that can satisfy me.

I come from japanese drama and I'm not against a romantic drama if it can make a big baby of 22 years old cry.

Thank you for your advice.

My top favorites
-My Lucky Star: I didn't go into watching this drama expecting that much. I could actually feel the passion between the characters which is surprising since the main girl lead did all her lines in Korean when they shot it. Yes her voice is dubbed but I got passed it. It is a really cute story wanting me to watch it over and over again.

-It Started with a kiss/They Kiss Again: It is a slow story but I am obsessed with Ariel and Joe. Everything in this story was cute. I think ISWAK was way better than TKA but atleast in TKA Zhi Shou was nicer to Xiang Qin. It was my first TWdrama and watched it ISWAK in like 3 days during spring break

-Devil Beside You: Very funny and entertaining. For one thing it has Mike He. It totally made me fall in love with him and rainie. The ending left me disappointed though.

Other nice/entertaining dramas to watch
-Why Why Love
-Bull fighting (reminded me of Hana yori dango idk why but i really really liked this one)
-Miss No Good
-Smiling Pasta
-Fated to Love you (got boring towards the middle. I thought I was watching a Kdrama part of the time)

Ok to watch
-Hana Kimi (this was a REALLY BIG let down. the Japanese Hana kimi is my favorite show ever. It got me obbsesed with any type of Asian drama. Plus this one had Jiro in it. I was probably to in love with Ikuta Toma to have given this a shot. Plus ella over acted A LOT)
-Tokyo Juliet

Do not watch
-Love contract (I really had hoped to like this drama but I couldn't. It started out slow. The middle was pretty good. The ending was just kind of weird. I am pretty sure i missed something when i was watching this drama)

Others I want to watch but Haven't had time
-Corner with Love
-Hot Shot
-Rolling Love
-Sweet Relationship
-Mean Girl Ah Chu (idk about this one)
-Prince turned Frog
-Wish you were here

oh and I just found this website where you can watch shows
go to www.tudou.com
and type in a chinese show
enjoy

So here's the situation. I'm studying Chinese, and I want to download a few series with both Chinese voice acting and Chinese subtitles. I don't care if it's originally Korean or Japanese and got dubbed over in Chinese, but it needs to have a Chinese audio track as well as Chinese subtitles. I'm pretty new to this entire medium, but I want to use it primarily as a study aid, and not really as a form of entertainment. That said, feel free to recommend me something that doesn't suck. Thanks.

Pretty much all Chinese and Taiwanese dramas are in Chinese and have Chinese subtitles.

Cool. What are some good ones? I don't really restrict myself to genre.
