Historical/or/Wuxia Recommendations.

 I'm kind of new to this whole chinese drama thing, and I'm also kind of skeptical about it. BUT I want to get into them. 

Could you guys recommend me a couple? Something with good acting, good romance~~,  an OK ending?? (I heard most are bad ;;), and mm, that's it. If you decide to recommend Eternal love, please tell me when it really gets good, cause I've watched a few episodes already. I just want to something I'm able to sit through for a while.

Thank you!~

I agree that most Chinese dramas (especially historical/wuxia ones have terrible/sad endings), but if you're lucky, there are actually dramas (i included a few here) that offer multiple endings depending on your liking. Enjoy!

Nirvana in Fire! This is not a passive watch; you really have to pay attention, but it's absolutely worth the effort. 

Second all the support for Eternal Love. Even though I did not like the second lead couple, the chemistry and acting of the main couple was amazing and made up for any suspension of disbelief qualms I had in a few scenes. 

The (other) Eternal Love. 24 episodes. Low budget web drama. Somehow very addicting and endearing. 

I'm also a beginner in the Wuxia genre and haven't watched many. For the most part, I just can't stand the high number of episodes or the angst and politics, but I enjoyed these few and I'm looking forward to Yang Mi's new one.

WUXIA  means "martial heroes",  usually about a chivalrous martial artist vigilante on a mission to fight for righteousness and defeat  injustice and oppressors.

XIANXIA is a fantasy genre.  Usually about a protagonists' attempt to cultivate to immortality ... based in elements  of fantasy, complete with magic, demons, ghosts and immortals. 

•  Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms aka Eternal Love, and the likes of  Novoland, etc...   are NOT Wuxia,  they are  Xianxia genre, fantasy ... I think this genre usually has HEA (I wouldn't know.)
•  Legend of the Condor Heroes  , one of most famous Wuxia stories  (at least 12 adaptations), forgot if HEA or not in ending. ..... I saw the 2008 drama and a few movie versions.
• The Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber,  last part of the Condor Heroes Trilogy,  I believe it had HEA.  I saw the 2002 version, there will be a 2018 version. 
• Prince of Lan Ling is among the best Wuxia/historicals .... Based on a real historic general, who had a very pretty face, so he wore a mask to scare his enemies  ....  Not exactly HEA.

Historicals:

• Not sure about some shows listed  by others above, which I have not watched,  but the Scarlet Heart / Bu Bu Jing Xin (aka BBJX) ending is not exactly a HEA ..... ..... .....  I am not sure about the ending of the other adaptation of the story, Palace: the Lockheart Jade , which is a lighthearted fare , not as serious or as good .....  .....  BBJX is an Excellently written Historical about a girl surviving/navigating palace intrigues and friendships, w/ most figures and events based on real history, truly excellent! among the best!

So for historicals  w/ HEA:

• Sound of the Desert  --- Based on real general, Excellent and most Wonderful Romance!!! ...  strong love triangle, HEA for one of the guys, at least ;)
• Battle of Changsha  --- Excellent writing and family war drama ....  Low on romance,  much tragedy in war, but the couple still get their HEA.

Period dramas: 

• Cuo Dian Yuan Yang -- probably one of better stories, good Romance w/ lots of skinship, and HEA.

If you don't insist on HEA, there are many excellent Historical, Wuxia, Period and Modern dramas that are excellent, such as : Legend of Concubine Zhen Huan , Nirvana in Fire, etc... ...
