Examples of good K drama with adult characters are:

"Crazy for You"
"All in"
Something lie this would be fine.

too bad, no response ....so far
I wouldn't mind some recommendations myself of modern drama's that are not based on manga's and not about or with students. |
K-dramas have more mature people in their dramas. They tend to have older cast. Few of their casts are under 20. Though tend to be too melodramatic for my tastes
JDrama has quite a few in that area as well (the older ones were true classics, but most focus is on the younger dramas). Recently, ones of note are more comedic, though still good. Such as Hotaru no Hikari and Haken no Hinkaku. Iryu is also quite decent
TWdramas' modern dramas are all idol dramas now, there are some dramas which are more mature dramas, but they don't have high profile cast and are not really accessible outside TW because they are not mainstream. Tho White Tower was fairly high profile and you can probably find it.
CDramas are similar, tho there was a couple of popular comedies, but I don't really follow it... sorry._________________ Jdrama Chinese fansub index 2006 | 2007

auroragb, thank you for your reply and recommendations.
No wonder I have a hard time finding Angel, a non-idol T-drama of one year ago.
Will check out the Japanese one you mentionned. Thanks again

Thanks.

i'm not sure why a sticky was never started for the chinese section. but lately, i've seen a lot of cdramas, hkdramas, twdramas, etc. being released, and i'm very certain you all have recommendations.
so let the chinese drama pride shine through. let us know which chinese dramas are your favorites, or at least ones you'd recommend!
---- added by jholic
Hey, can anyone recommend any good Chinese dramas, more particularly Taiwanese dramas? Since I didn't see this topic here like in the j-dramas/k-dramas section I figured that I'd start one. I've only recently begun to get away from j-dramas and k-dramas, and need to find a place to start. So far I've only seen:
1) Mars - Which is my absolute favorite! 
2) Lavender - Not the best or most interesting, but I still liked nonetheless... 
3) Meteor Garden - which I love! This is hilarious... 
and
4) Love Contract - only just started watching this, so I don't know what to think of it yet, is it worth watching? I do love the theme song though. 
Can anyone suggest any others? I'm itching for more stuff to download!

I would need some recommendations, and I've read some of yours, but I don't know if that is what I'm looking for ^^
I'm more into Jdrama, so I have no whatsoever experience in cdrama, and that is what I need.
My uncle who has studied Chinese for a couple of years, arrived home from China one year ago, and the other day he noticed that he needs to listen more to Chinese movies and such to keep practicing and not forget everything. However, he knows all the movies by heart that he bought in China and needs something new -like a cdrama!
I'm just looking for some Cdrama, not too long, not too short and with an ok story As I said, it's mainly for listening practice and studying.
Thank you so much for your help ^_^

Hey Litoru! You might want to try out Huan Zhu Ge Ge/My Fair Princess/Princess Returning Pearl if your uncle hasn't known it by heart yet  It is quite an old show but the storyline is pretty interesting and the characters are very vibrant. Genre-wise, it should be classified as romance, comedy and adventure. Not to mention, the Chinese spoken in there is proper Chinese with no slangs It should be quite good for practice given that the main character is someone who is being educated in chinese literature and you get a couple of tang poems recited numerous times. I learnt some ancient literature in there myself

Really? I have Angel and I had no problem finding or downloading it. You just need to search the name on the right tracker site.

You mean hard to find right? Because they are usually really hard to track down without buying the DVDs or VCDs but they are in no way similar to Taiwanese dramas. They are usually serious life dramas... usually...

I agree with this sentiment. All TWDramas in here are idol dramas because that's what being posted/wanted here. But as of CDramas, they're not that rampant, though. CDramas are flooded with wuxia / historical dramas lately.

Same here. I started when I saw a RP video on YouTube. I followed that until the end and fueled my addiction with ISWAK. Finished that yesterday. Watching ISWAK2 and Devil Beside You.
ISWAK2 subbed can be found here http://www.overstream.net/view.php?oid=arumugl8urue
My first post as well.

I randomly caught an episode of the Prince Turns into a Frog on tv, and I was hooked! After finishing that, Devil Beside You came out which was so much better and then I discovered ISWAK. So my favorites are:
1. ISWAK
2. ISWAK2
3. Devil Beside You
4. Bull Fighting
5. Prince Turns Into Frog
6. Sweet Relationship
