In addition to the dramas a lot of people mentioned:
Mars
Meteor Garden
Devil Beside You
The Rose
It Started With a Kiss and They Kiss Again,
I would add:
Wish To See You Again - I think it has a great balance between a love story and a comedy, the acting is good(some are better than others but overall okay), the plot is fresh and the pace is quite fast; and it's not too long, so you wouldn't get tired. Not to mention Zai Zai (an eye candy Laugh ) And I like the OST too.

Well...I know this is not a drama its the movie Perfect Bride. It was good I just finished watching it. One comment I want to make about MARS is that they keep playing the one theme song too much. They don't switch it up enough and it is kind of annoying. I wish that they didn't do that.

Edit*
Well now I have to add to this post because I am on the 7th episode of MARS and I cant watch it anymore. They play the theme song too often and the whole shy girl role doesnt fit "Barbie" so well. The storyline is just too boring now and even when I skipped episodes there is just not interesting like the first 6 episodes.

In my own personal opinion I still cant figure out how she got the name "Barbie" since she doesn't look like a Barbie and it just doesn't fit her. She has heavy bags under her eyes all the times (except a few pictures they touched up) and her face looks harsh...let alone all the tattoos all over her body that the makeup doesn't cover up so well. She just has a hard face in my own opinion....

Yeah I liked the manga, however I tried watching the Mars drama and after some episodes I was way too bored to watch any more.

@ParadiseLost

As regards to Hana Yori Dango being overrated, I've read the manga, watched the anime, and the japanese and korean drama.
I suggest reading the manga or watching the Japanese drama (though it doesn't follow the manga exactly) they are great, but the Korean version, the anime, and Meteor Garden are overrated in my opinion. I wouldn't recommend any of them.

I am scared though after hearing of Kiss Again 3? Didn't the last season (They Kiss Again) end with where the original author ended the manga?

My Recommendations are (*):

Smiling Pasta was ok
*Fated to Love You was excellent
*They Kiss Again was excellent
It Started With a Kiss was ok
Miss No Good n/a ( I dled it but I can't bring my self to watch it)
*Prince Turns Into Frog was good
*Princess Returning Pearl I was great. (Can't wait to see the next one subbed next year hopefully)
Love Queen was ok
Love at First Fight was ok

My suggestion was:

1. Huan Zhu Ge Ge 1 & 2...The stories was great since it's adopted from Qiong Yao's Novel with the same title, Huan Zhu Ge Ge...Then, they have perfect couple in there, Yong Qi and Xiao Yan zI (cute and Lovely Couple) and the other one was Zi Wei and Er Kang (Romance Couple)....I prefer Yong Qi and Xiao Yan Zi,,they have a greatest chemistry in this drama....Also the Emperor, who always help and love them....

2. Meteor Garden...It's very interesting drama since I love how was Dao Ming Si treat Shan Cai lovely and perfectly...Love this couple so much....

3. Devil Beside You....Interest Story either.....

hey people

I'm looking for special series recommendation.
and it would be great if you give me a lot of names.
I really appreciate every post!


SO WHICH CHARACTERISTICS should the series have?

Quote:
1. First of all: it should be a CHINESE series.

(with chinese I mean: mainland china, hongkong, taiwan, singapore.
simply every chinese series where the spoken language is mandarin or cantonese)

Quote:
2. if possible: an ANCIENT series.

(I prefer ancient to modern)

Quote:
3. it should be be a FUNNY series. (COMEDY elements)


with FUNNY I mean series like "Fairy of the Chalice".
the characters were very likeable.
there were a lot of funny scenes.
all in all quite good.

which means I don't like drama.
too bad that toward the end of "fairy of the chalice" the story changed to a drama.
of course i know that there must be some drama in any tv show.
otherwise it would be boring.
but i don't like it when the whole series is a drama... when the athmosphere is already dramatic, emphasized by the music and landscape... (like in "ROCH 1998" with Fann Wong)

do you know what i mean? some drama is inevitable (that's esential of chinese series) but drama ALL THE TIME.. that's too much.

what i don't like too: is the combination of drama and HEARTBREAKING scenes.
like in "Legend of Madam White Snake" (with Angie Chiu)
from the middle of the series to the end (the beginning was quite funny and good)
there was always this heartbreaking-dramatic-"something dramatic is going to happen" - athmophere.

that doesn't mean that I'm not romantic at all. Far from it!
Romance is of course one of the essential elements of chinese series.
I just don't like this exaggerated dramatic, heartbreaking scenes.

I am a person who a person who enjoys sweet relationships and light hearted (funny) series.
with relationships in here that are too perfect that it will give you butterfly.
for example: Paradise Shui Yue Dong Tian (apart from "Chalice Fairy")

Quote:
4. another element, I love is FANTASY.

I enjoy stories a young man falls for a godess, fairy or any other fantasy ("immortal") character.

that's why I enjoyed "Fairy of the chalice" and also tried to watch "legend of white snake" but broke up - due to this unbearable drama.

i'm sure that there exist a lot of chinese tales which deal with
the relationship of a young man "mortal" and "immortal" (godess, fairy, etc.)
so i suposse there must be series about that.


okay. so far i'be written pretty much about my "ideas".
please give me some tips. I'm really happy about any post!!!

great thanks in advance!

PS: since I'm chinese and understand mandarin you can recommend me any chinese series. not just the subbed ones!
(i don't understand cantonese)
