Gong Zhu Xiao Mei (公主小妹) which is kinda cute i think
Qing Qing Xiao Ba (親親小爸)
Shui Yuet Fung Wan - Sui Yue Feng Yun (歲月風雲 - 岁月风云)
Zhen Ming Tian Nü (真命天女) ... which is kinda my fav friends say that its so very taiwanese-much-too-cute hehe .. heck, the girls are hot

i also watched Chess Warriors (棋武士) but that was too wuxia for me and some of the others that ... well not my type ;)

Huo Yuan Jia (霍元甲) looks pretty good so i'm into that now too

i think it's sad that i can't find more Xiao Hai Bu Ben 2 (小孩不笨 2) on the net, even though it's not particularly good

but I#m gonna check out ath the dolphin's bay and mars for sure ... just gotta finish downloading all my other stuff first ;)

Hanakimi is a good Drama, though I have the impression that sometimes it is overacted ( I am not sure Ella is such a good actress).
I would highly recommand It Started with a kiss. Really nice drama.

I like something along the lines of The Conqueror's Story.[/url]

Well, I liked Silence a lot. It was really, really sad. I cried at the end.

I thought Mars was a little too out there. It was sort of unbelievable, but aren't all dramas supposed to be like that?

I tried to watch "The Prince Who Turns into a Frog" （王子变青蛙）. I just don't know what is good about it, sorry + the English subtitles are terrible. Since I paid for it, I'll have to try again, just to improve my Mandarin, perhaps I will like it after a few episodes. "Meteor garden" （流行花园） or "Mars" （战神MARS） are much better, IMHO.

I hope someone will produce English subtitles for "Struggle" (奋斗) (made in the PRC, not Taiwan). I watched 2 episodes with Chinese subtitles, very interesting, pity I don't understand 100%.

Hi! I'm new here, and I have watched and really liked:

TW drama:
ISWAK I
ISWAK II
Mars
The Rose

Kdrama:
Sassy Girl

I really like dramas where there are obstacles for the couples to overcome and happy endings.
Any suggestions?

My TOP fav's:

Please forgive (and move) this post if it's in the wrong place. A friend of mine showed me this web site while I was hunting for the name of a Chinese drama. Then I found this section, which indicates there are fansubs of dramas with English subtitles.

I enjoy watching Chinese historical/legendary costume dramas (ancient times - Ming dynasty). I only know a few words of Mandarin, so I've literally just watched these without understanding any of the words on the local Asian tv channel. I'd very much like to see some with English subtitles.

Would anyone here be willing to recommend good costume dramas to me that are available here as fansubs?

Ps. Thank you to the subbers for all your efforts.

Well, this is not the right place to ask something like this. You should post your request on this thread:
http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic_15829.htm

Anyway, you may want to watch The Great Revival:
http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic_60937.htm

It's not Ming dynasty, though. It's Spring-Autumn period.

Other choices would be:
Great Qing Dynasty
Emperor Han Wu
Chien Lung Dynasty
Kang Xi's Incognito Travel 4
The Witty Imperial Envoy
Water Margin
Xiao Zhuang Epic

All of these are in English and can be obtained here: http://jem.d-addicts.com/
