Could anyone recc me some asian dramas besides Kdramas?

Mainland Chinese historical dramas are pretty good - little to no Communist content (MUCH less than Hollywood, these days) and great visuals. Shows I liked, in no particular order, are:

- Story of Yanxi Palace

- Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

- Secret of the Three Kingdoms

- The Imperial Doctress

- Scarlet Heart

- The Rebel Princess

- Princess Weiyoung

- The Legend of Fuyao

- The Legend of Hao Lan

Love 020 and Meteor Garden are really good.

I am a watching in a good way Taiwan drama. It is very heart warming and the ship is so good. Hero is such gentleman, that every girl will dream of such man in her life. So good deep characterisation and fl's growth from naive teen girl to smart, strong women ( but not over to top thnx God ) is amazing too~

Best Chinese drama

Nirvana in Fire

Xianxia drama that "started" all other Xianxia dramas

Journey of a Flower

BL drama that "started" all other BL dramas

The Untamed

Chinese drama or show that everybody in China knows

Journey to the West - 1986 version

The Untamed. It's the best C drama I've watched in a while. The book is even better.

Nirvana in Fire (the best drama I have ever watched, I seriously don't have enough words to praise it)

The Story of Minglan (I so loved it and would really recommend it to you if you want to watch a drama where female lead isn't a dumb type but instead really smart and cunning)

The Untamed (it's a BL drama but the leads' moments are so subtle that you can pass their relationship as good friends as well)

Princess Agents (Its also another amazing drama, I watched it when it was ongoing and I was in awe at every ep)

Minglan is also really good

Minglan is also really good

I watched it 3 times as well, Mei Changsu's character was so well written. It was a good change to finally see a drama where ML dominated the bad side from beginning to the end. In most dramas like these esp from Korea, its only ending few eps where ML actually starts to fight back.

Yup, Minglan was really good. I'm currently watching The Rise of Phoenixes but only half way there so I don't know how it'll move forward.

Yes, I have finished Princess Agents and was dumbfounded at the ending, the only reason I didn't mention it above bcoz I didn't want OP to skip this drama. My fav character was Yan Xun so I enjoyed the rest of the eps.
