Captivating Costume Dramas and Comedies

This is a collection of costume dramas and comedies or historical shows I’ve found compelling and watched until the end, possibly more than once. They aren’t necessarily true to history and may have fantastical elements but aren’t wu xia or Xian xia. They are in no particular order. Hope you find something interesting. :)
