I'm looking for Cdramas or Cmovies portraying ancient china families like in the novel Chu wang fei, Mei Gongqing, Doomed to be Cannon Fodder etc. (of course without the reincarnation stuff) The only one I remember being like that is the movie Raise the red lantern (1991).
I havent read the novels that you mentioned but I recommend using mydramalist If you post there getting a response would be faster
I know that Legend of Concubine's Daughter Minglan has just started filming a drama version with Zhao Liying as the lead. That seems to fit your lists. Others all have elements of court intrigue or transmigration or harem infighting or politics mixed in...hm...
Thanks! I only excluded transmigration because I thought it would be harder to find, but it's all welcome.
Np. Technically Minglan is transmigration too, but it’s pretty likely they’ll take it out of the drama like they’ve done with other adaptations. If you don’t mind something a little more modern, there’s also Story of a Noble Family which is set in the Republican era. It stars Chen Kun. And this one’s an older series but pretty funny: Wrong Carriage Right Groom. http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Wrong_Carriage,_Right_Groom
@noveladdicted Minglan came out with its first teaser trailer recently~ https://twitter.com/dramapotatoe/status/923178484838498304
