I haven't seen a lot of Cdramas but Princess Wei Young and Eternal Love are really good. Highly recommend them.

I also watched 100+ K-dramas and yes indeed C-dramas can be a refreshment! I`ll recommend historical dramas cause mostly I watched Taiwanese dramas for modern setting; 

Historical C-dramas: Eternal Love (Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms) (beautiful romance, funny, and touching at the same time), Nirvana in Fire (smart, intelligent, thrilling, funny, and touching), The Flame`s Daughter (beautiful romance, interesting, and unpredictable), Journey of Flower (romance, thrilling), The King`s Woman (romance, thrilling, touching), Princess Weiyoung (funny, thrilling, unpredictable, smart, touching)

Ten Miles of Peach Blossom
