Thanks! |
you should definitely watch My Lucky Star (it is awesome!), Why Why Love is pretty good too and has the same cast as Devil Beside You. Also, an older one that is good is "Dolphin Bay"

Devil Beside You: It started out great, it was funny. I really like Mike He.  It became irritating the minute Qi Yue started liking Jiang Meng. She turned into some lovesick fool not as bad as I saw in "It started with a kiss" but still annoying.  This is a pretty good series with a good storyline. I'd say check this one out but be ready to get annoyed by the girls acting like idiots over the guys again. 
It Started With a Kiss: Very good drama but too long. I liked this one but it went into the zone of ultimate irritation. Why Xiang Qin was so obsessed and pathetically in love with Zhi Shu I'll never understand. I understand the love but not how stupid she was willing to be. There's a point in love where some ppl have no self-respect or self-worth and pursue their love interest unabashedly. It's embarrassing. I'll be honest I skipped few episodes near the end cause I couldn't take all the obsessing but the ending was golden. I liked Zhi Shu, he managed to be in love and maintain some self-respect.
Love Contract: I must say after seeing Ariel Lin be bonkers in ISWAK, I was not so excited to see her in yet another drama. I just can't take seeing her whining, crying, and obsessing over another guy in a drama!  I watched this one cause a friend of mine recommended it and said it was different. I have fallen hard for this drama. It's great!  Ariel has redeemed herself in this one. Mike He is cuter in this one than Devil Beside You mainly cause he has a cool haircut. I didn't like the rock-a-doodle stye in Devil Beside You ( I know it was based on a manga series so crazy haircuts will be expected).
Because "Love Contract" was so good I plan on watching "Why, Why Love" next. My friend loves Mike He so that's why it's a pattern of Mike He madness!

Agreed about you on Iswak and Love Contract. I really adored MARS character and storyline. I rather watch something that is meaningfully and different rather than mere entertaining and the same plot and predictable. Iswak is enjoyable for most of people ( no offends for Iswak fans ) i rather has much anticipate to watch it first but it is so dragging and repetitive and cliche didn't have so much character improvement it is mere enjoyment. I agreed about a girl that is always fall in love the same character in Taiwanese drama with a rich and arrogant guy. She always has the same character over and over again. Duh! It killing me to boredom.
When i want to really appreciated a good drama i will not looking at the hot actor but by his acting. For example i don't like Mike in WWL and Bull Fighting not because of him, but because of the character is the same. Because i want to see a real actor in him. Then I turn to Love Contract, i want to see him out of the stereotype character, out of the rich line, cool then I got what I yearn for. He in Love contract very different, I loved it. Not rich, has some talent with drawing he pull out his talent here.
Same goes with Ariel, she is great actress, but her character in Iswak and TKA is so lame. A naive character is ok. But, it has to have a development that is more important part in a excellent drama. But when i watched Love Contract. There you are a new wave. I love it. I loved her and her acting in this.
My Favorite and highly recommended is : MARS.
It is bring a new atmosphere in Taiwanese drama, far any from cliche and stereotype. Vic always act cold actor before, but here sure is different.

| I'm curious about actual Cdramas, not just Twdramas. Is there anything recommended from China that is modern? I suppose I'm willing to watch something historicalish if it's phenomenal, but I'm wondering if there ARE any modern-time Cdramas around.

| If you mean mainland cdramas... yes, there are modern dramas, but they're usually not very good. They are more normal-people drama, about ordinary people's lives, and not as exaggerated as most of the drama posted up on d-a.

What I Recommend
Mars: Definitely a great drama. The storyline is a bit cliche-ish.  . but very dramatic. It was my very first taiwanese drama. You get to see Vic's aggressive side. [not like in Meteor Garden] I recommend to anyone who's a Vic fan.  or likes some action and love mixed together. :]
Devil Beside You: This is my absolute favorite. Yes, it is cliche. but that's what I like. At first, I didn't think Mike was attractive cause of his hair. but then later on he was totally hot. . Rainie looks so young and childish compared to WWL. It's purely love and sweetness and a bit heart breaking drama. ^_^
Smiling Pasta: It's an okay drama. there wasn't much special. I liked the pasta! looked so yummy. but anyways. It took awhile for Cyndi and Nicholas to be together. that kinda dragged. It's sweet. Cyndi is really adorable though!! It was a cute, funny and adorable drama. :]
Why Why Love: This ISN'T the greatest drama but I really liked the stoyline here. the ending was disappointing though. It kinda confused me. It's dramatic. I just cried a lot.. I guess you can watch this to have a good cry...? lol.
My Lucky Star: I loved this drama!! It had almost everything. It starts off loving and sweet until half way, then BAM! there's tragedy, hate and revenge. I might be exaggerating though. But it has a happy ending. It made me cry towards the end. TT_TT
It Started With A Kiss: This took awhile to watch. Yes, it is longggggg. The storyline takes place over a long period of time. [about 5 or 6 years]. I skimmed through the series in the beginning cause it was getting boring. Zhi Shu is so stubborn!! He won't admit he loves Xiang Qin until the end. =.=; I don't get the chemistry there though. but oh wells.  It's a good drama overall.. Just wish it was shorter..
Sweet Relationship: I'm still watching it. but it's going good so far. I don't see much love. but I'm sure it'll develop. ^_^ You get to see Vic cook!! ah~ I think it's a good drama to watch!! lol.
Summer X Summer: Ahh~ This one was sweeeeeet~!! It starts off a bit similar to ISWAK but the girl isn't as "stupid" as Ariel's character. The VERY beginning is funny. . You actually have two couples going on. :] Nicee. The ending was a happy one. ^_^
I've watched other dramas but I didn't think it was that great.. but you can still watch them: Meteor Garden I [it wasn't good nor bad] and II [bad... too long]. Silence. Hana-Kimi. Love Contract. Tokyo Juliet [Wu Zun looked weird with long hair... and his voice wasn't his real voice = voice overr]. KO One [it's fantasy, it's a bit funny ... ]. Romantic Princess._________________ 
Watching: Invincible Shan Bao Mei, Miss No Good, Bloody Monday
Waiting for other dramas to come out! |

If you are looking for a comedy, theres this recent one called Queen's [ 至尊玻璃鞋 / Zhi Zun Bo Li Xie ] that came out in 2007. It is a Taiwanese drama based off the Korean manhwa Queen's by Ha Sung Hyun.
It was a very cute story and will make you laugh quite a lot. The main character guys are very hot in case you can't stand to watch dramas with ugly actors in it heh ^^; The main girl character is alright but makes you mad sometimes with the things she does but it wouldn't be a drama if she wasnt around.
For the record, this drama isn't all about the anime/cosplay aspect but it is the beginning of the hillarities in the plot, its just extra background info. The characters do not act like otakus or anything in the series.
Here is the synopsis from the d-addicts dramawiki:
Who says a man has to have big muscle? I will make myself more manly. My name is Tie Xiong.
Who says a woman has to be cute and soft spoken? I will do whatever I want. My name is Lin Fu Nan.
Tie Xiong is in love with a girl named Ke Er, who is an anime/manga cosplay fanatic. To get closer to her, he learned handicraft, joined cosplay club, and cross-dressed as Saber. He didn't get the girl. What he got for his beautiful face and feminine-ish new hobbies was being her new best friend, a nickname of "Teddy Bear," and an unwanted rumor that he is gay. And the most depressing of all, he ended up helping her chase after school basketball player Yong Jun. That was when he realized, he had went about the wrong way for her heart. She wanted a sweaty-smelling manly man and not a little sweet teddy bear.
Just when all the setbacks made him want to give up, he found light in a manga called, "The Real Man." A chance encounter with the artist Lin Fu Nan confirmed that this manly author would be his savior.

Legend of Condor Heroes, Return of Condor Heroes, and Tian Long Ba Bu forms a trilogy. They should be watched in that order.
Duke of Mount Deer (Part 1, Part 2), Xiao Ao Jiang Hu, and Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber are great series. They can be watched independently.
Now about the "messages" of each series:
* Legend of Condor Heroes: Your intelligence doesn't matter. As long as you work hard and honest, it'll get you to the top.
* Return of Condor Heroes: True love overcomes time and place.
* Tian Long Ba Bu: Intertwining stories of several heroes.
* Xiao Ao Jiang Hu: Power corrupts. Only those with pure hearts can survive.
* Duke of Mount Deer: Sweet talk can get you all the way to the top, but friendship does matter.
* Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber: People can fight each other over either trivial stuffs or some feud, but in the end they're all wrong.
I've never watched The Jewel in the Palace.
Now you get a rough idea of what to watch.

. Ariel Lin on the other hand got prettier but sometimes she was really REALLY annoying 
.. i also got a bit sad when the flashbacks... but on the whole nice drama.
and they have interesting side characters. I love the bit when Tian Qi says to Ah Xing... "Will youh be my Lady Luck? Give me a lucky kiss." That nearly KILLED mee! It was SOOO effing HOTT
