China Dramas Rated

Mostly for my own sake, and in case I ever need rec's, I've written down all the Asian dramas I've seen. It's eleven pages on my laptop, and I'm 98% sure I've forgotten at least 50 dramas. But, I'll just have to fill them in later. For now, I bring a list of (nearly) all the Chinese dramas I've seen - with ratings and reasons.

( Wuxia dramas are full of blood and betrayal and love stories that last a lifetime )

Project A (disc 1; eps 1-4) [spoilers]

I've begun watching Project A a drama from 2007, which happens to be based loosely on a 1980s Jackie Chan film. The series stars Dicky Cheung, Patrick Tam, Gillian Chung, and Liu Yuan Yuan. The series takes place in Hong Kong during the early 1900s and follows Dicky Cheung (a marine policeman) and Patrick Tam (a land police officer) as they battle corrupt officers and pirates. All while wooing their respective love interests. Think of it like Men and Legends, only with pirates and more comedy. (and no evil Japanese men with tiny Hitler 'staches)


A summary from YESASIA


Dicky Cheung is Little Trumpet, a marine policeman - though he doesn't know how to swim - in early 20th century Hong Kong. Nobleman's son He (Patrick Tam) returns from England and becomes Little Trumpet's superior. After some hiccups, the two form an alliance fighting against various enemies. Project A also interweaves two romances into the action drama. Little Trumpet encounters a pirate's daughter (Liu Yuanyuan) during an operation, while He falls in love with a nice girl born to a villainous father.
