Historical Dramas Club

 GS:

The child actors were so good in their roles

So true, their parts were minimal though.

This gonna be a long journey for Zang Hai before he'll be able to avenge his family but I'm pretty excited for it.

This drama really centered around Zang Hai. The title can't be more suitable. Like he dominated 90% of screentime. Love it.

Scarlet Heart is on script reading, finally. Saw the picture they took together. I'm so happy~

Oh wow! I didnt realize it was getting readapted!!

Hi everyone! I've been watching Asian dramas for years, and historical/costume/period dramas are among my favorites (mostly from China, HK and Taiwan). As I explore the forums more, I found this drama club forum thread, and I would like to join! As they say, it's better late than never 😊. 

I'm currently watching "Luoyang". I had wanted to watch this drama since one or 2 years ago, but I hesitated after accidentally reading about what happened to one character (but it's not a major plot spoiler).  Now with a few episodes left before the end, I'm glad that I decided to go for it! 

Here are the new dramas that are in my PTW list: 
Legend of Zang Hai 
Prisoner of Beauty 
Youthful Glory 
Journey of Legend 

Prisoner of Beauty is the first Chinese historical in a few years that I've really, really enjoyed for striking a good balance between comedy, romance and political maneuvering.

Hoping it finishes strong in the second half.

 Italophilia:

The Prisoner of Beauty is just fun and I'm loving their couple interactions. It's a slow burn and it makes sense for this enemies to lovers story.

This all sounds really good! I love a nice mix of comedy and romance with some intrigue too! Adding to my PTW list and hopefully can start soon. I'm usually late to finish the most current dramas!

Legend of Zang Hai 

I'm currently watching Legend of Zang Hai. Loved it. The plot is well-structured and there's enough excitement. All actors are chosen carefully and there's no unneccessary scene. Highly recommended.

I mostly watch Chinese dramas but I'm currently trying to catch up with Japanese dramas. 

I recently completed Tenno no Ryoriban, about the life story of an emperor's cook during Meiji and Showa iirc. Based on a real person. Very touching and inspirational. 

and Satomi Hakkenden, about the 8 samurai that's receiving Satomi late first princess' blessing to help lifted Satomi family curse. A fictional history. 4 hours watch special. Pretty good.

And I'm waiting for Chinese airing drama 2099 to finish before starting it. Looks hillarious.

 Indie Art Girl:

Welcome!

I love C-dramas, both historical and modern. I'm currently watching Royal Rumours and recently finished Flourished Peony. I think it's one of my top favs now. I also watch K-dramas too. Not into J-dramas or Thai dramas very much, unless they are BLs.

Thank you 😊!  "Fluorished Peony" is also in my PTW list, which keeps piling up! I don't know when I'll be able to clear my PTW list 😄. I watch modern C-dramas too.
