Nirvana in Fire was one of the first I ever watched - about 6 years ago. It's probably still my all time favourite.. and it got me pretty hooked on Chinese Drama (as a European woman). I'd never watched something so slowly evolving, character driven and complicated. It's the one I recommend to people who are curious about Chinese Drama but have never watched anything before..

Agreed! Nirvana in Fire also ignited my love for Chinese dramas. I still remember the first time I heard that epic intro... I just knew it was gonna be good! I can't think of a single western tv show that compares to it. I feel like the closest thing would be Game of Thrones but look how that turned out... I remember actually clapping when the credits rolled on the final episode of NIF and fighting the urge to give my laptop a standing ovation (like a lunatic). I was just so in awe of how epic and well written the whole thing was.

Now I'm definitely going to watch it. I only jumped on the chinese drama train at the end of 2019 and with the untamed, completely knowing nothing about chinese drama and just looking for something to watch as exposure to chinese mandarin as I started learning it that year. I haven't watched a drama in another language till then. I just don't have the time. I've still got a few on my to watch list, like nirvana in fire 1 and 2 , It will still be a couple of years untill I'll watch something in another language. (allthough I hope the quality of chinese drama's will go up again and then I might never have time for something else again :) )

As an Asian American growing up in the 80’s we had the vhs dubbed versions of Legend of the condor heros and Return of the condor heros with Felix Wong and Andy Lau respectively. Also many Tony Leung and chow young phat shows. It wasn’t until about 6 years ago when I finally discovered that Netflix had English subtitles versions of new Chinese show and then discovers Viki, Tencent, and IQIYI that a whole new yet familiar world of dramas was opened up for me. Loved NIF and story of Minglan

Same here, I grew up on the classic Hong Kong shows, especially the condor trilogy, Demi-gods and semi devils, etc. they had such great actors even for the side character roles.

Despite being from the US and not even being Chinese I grew up with Chinese cinema and TV land. From 80s-90s HK films to Taiwanese dramas, to modern period shows. Growing up HZGG was my absolute favorite. I was a huge fan of Zhao Wei and would watch anything she was in. Today, my favorite Chinese drama prob goes to Story of Minglan. I have never experienced a drama that felt so realistic. It didn't feel like I was watching a show at times, but rather felt like I was peeking into the lives of an actual family. I personally love the acting, writing, the music, and hell I LOVE the lighting. All perfection.

My first exposure to Chinese cinema was Raise the Red Lantern! As a result I’ve seen most of Gong Li’s movies. I then got into Chinese dramas when I began to learn Mandarin. In order to learn the language you must learn the culture. I really enjoyed Nirvana in Fire. Liu Tao is just beautiful. The scene where Mei Cháng Su finally got justice and bowed to his family was super emotional. I felt his pain. I loved the Story of Minglan until she married the general. I was made this 16 year old was marrying a man with a 9 year old. And his teeth annoyed me. I love the grandmother. She was the horrible 2nd wife in Raise the Red Lantern. I hated her but she redeemed herself in Story of Minglan and Joy of Life.

Thanks for introducing me to The Legend of the White Snake 1992 or I wouldn't have known that its a musical. It sounds really nice, truly a classic, everything fit so well although its old. If only they can make dramas with such musical/opera nowadays. I wasn't much of a c-drama lover when I was young compared to now (back then HK dramas was the popular go-to) but some 90s dramas that I remember watching back then (in order) that left an impression was Wang Fu Ya (1991), the Justice Bao Series 1993/1995 plus the tvb version (not the entire thing for me, but my grandma loves this), Tian Shi Zhong Kui 1995, The Legends of Jigong 1996, Huan Zhu Ge Ge, Romance in the Rain (2001), and The Mute Bride (2005). Its most welcoming that you bring up these again. No matter what, good dramas deserve mention, no matter how much time pass, it still retains its charm.

White Snake legend was also really popular but I realized very early the husband was a female and thought it to be silly. Empress of The Palace is another gem although when I watched it I already got tired with harem drama and stopped somewhere in the middle. I also did not complete Nirvana In Fire and The Story of Minglan. I think I prefer reading the novel version of the later while the former I will probably continue watching at some points. Good list by far.

1992 Chinese movie I remember vividly would be Dragon Inn. I watch the first few episodes of The Legend of the White Snake, and the last few episodes. I kind of know the concept of the story and I say that is not for me. "Women deceiving women" is not my cup of tea. Once I hear the intro of the music, I know its "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer". So the concept of supernatural powers using rainbow colors was the alternative but not used often compared to The Legend of the White Snake. No wonder a lot of movies and dramas always portray a lady dress and acts a boy. I don't know Cecilia Yip, but I remember her in Swordsman 2-3 years after the series.

MingLan has this duality to it that I really like. I read the novel first, it's a beautiful piece of literature. MingLan has this lowkey bittersweetness of every day life, harem fights, evil in-laws, sweet siblings, married couples in love, etc. On the other hand it is an epic story about two people that start from nothing and become influential. Gu Tingye and MingLan don't seem like the usual pairing you see these days in idol dramas, yet it worked so well. The flow of words in the book and the masterful cinematography of the drama are just chef's kiss.

I am on my 4th time watching The Story of Minglan. It really was such a great drama and would love to see another like it. I started my Chinese Drama journey 3 years ago with Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms and Eternal Love of Dream and since then I have never looked back. I barely watch American tv anymore.

Omg omg omg, most of the dramas you have mentioned i watched / rewatched it several times. I love My Fair Princess, Empress in Palace, Nirvana in Fire, and Story of Minglan. These are included in "My All Time Favorite Chinese Dramas". I really appreciate that you have made a list of this dramas. I remembered the feelings while i was watching these dramas. I love them all and i will never forget these dramas and sometimes I'm going back to rewatch it.❤

Yay! Soooo happy to see you do a retrospective video. The perfect solution to a slow drama season. Watch the old ones! I'd be curious how an international "most watched" would differ from your domestic list. I feel so lucky to live in an age when all this is available to me here in New England. With subtitles. Free. Discovering cdramas and your channel has been a light during dark times.
