Favorite Period Dramas

Eternal Love was my first Xianxia that made me fall in love with the genre and made me a fan of Yang Mi. This drama has some serious angst and it isn’t the easiest watch. However, I can say I wasn’t expecting the wondrous ride that this drama put me on.

This drama is one of my personal favorites for many reasons. This drama has amazing chemistry, this drama features one of my favorite couples in dramaland. It also has interesting character development and great acting.

This drama shows us seven different ways that a romance can be fluffy, compassionate and touching. I enjoyed watching Changkong and Xiangyun’s love story multiple times as they build a friendship, courtship and face hardships together in the form of tribulations. I experienced many laughs from our characters and I also found myself getting emotional at the pivotal hardships they needed to overcome.

I cried so bad watching this drama but it was so good. I particularly loved the second half the drama. This was my first time seeing the female lead but her smile is so infectious.  Fantastic acting/casting. <3

One of the more inspiring dramas that I've watched to date. 

This drama will forever be a classic. This is one of my absolute favorite dramas from Park Min Young. The chemistry, the acting and the OST were all captivating.

Reminds me of the love I had when watching Goblin. Interesting story, complex characters and enemies to lovers. 

While the story is not centered on romance, there are more than enough romantic moments to balance the drama going on outside of it. One of the things I loved about this drama is the main characters. The main characters are witty, smart and fun.  Bai Fengxi is a strong female lead that cares about the people more than anything. Hei fengxi is a strong male lead that only  he has only had eyes for and wants to protect Bai Fengxi. 

Even more than the characters, I loved that there was no huge misunderstandings that separate the couple for multiple episodes but instead there is understanding, growth and forgiveness. 

Sassy Princess is an easy-going period drama that I watched to take a break from more of the angst heavy ones. It’s romantic, it’s fun and I seriously enjoyed watching the chemistry between the leads unfold.

There is a gem in this drama where the FL is able to get her revenge back in the best way possible and it was such an amazing sight to see. Overall I enjoyed this drama and it's worthy of a recommendation. 

Another favorite of mine from Cheng Yi. This drama really knew how to capture the right amount of feels, drama, adventure and also deliver those lighthearted moments that I enjoy from my dramas. While this drama did become draggy, I still enjoyed Part 1 a fair amount compared to Part 2. 

My favorite comfort period drama. 

I’ll always have to mention Love in the Moonlight because it was the drama that brought me into the period/costume drama world. Although gender benders are not my cup of tea, I loved the simplicity of this drama. I never became bored and I was excited for what came next.
