Hi everyone!

I wanted to first share this with you. I've recently been thinking of making a Historical C-Drama Challenge as I really like historical C-dramas, and wish to watch more of different historical periods.
I got inspiration by ciliolindemberg's List of historical c-dramas ordered by historical periods.

I made the challenge today. This is it: https://mydramalist.com/discussions/chinese-drama-movies/133504-the-historical-c-drama-challenge

But because I've never made a challenge before I first wanted to check with you all if you'd like it and if you have any suggestions/advice :)

I'll probably share the challenge later in the MDL group on Feeds

No because I included a section in the Mandarin Challenge for this because it was something I wanted to explore more, especially after seeing that very same list!! AN AMAZING IDEA!! Thank you for making thiiiisss!! 💖

Sorry I didn't mean to ignore you. I've been home with covid for the last 9 days and trying to catch up on MDL.  Yeah, Pearl Girl seems like a girl power drama, which I'm usually up for, lol.


Good luck with the challenge! It looks impressive to me. I know very little of Chinese history or the dramas, so I'm not much help at all, lol.

No, that's okay, it's not a question so it's okay not to reply.

I'm sorry to hear you're sick. Take a good rest, eat nutritional foods, drink your medicine, do some exercise, and drink a lot of water.

I hope you'll get well soon.

It looks legit.

I'll join as soon as I find all the titles I want to watch from all 26 specific categories. I'll check all 2877 titles from the reference list.

Maybe I could also include some of the titles from my drama discovery challenge into this historical c-drama challenge so it'll be killing two birds with one stone.

Have a nice weekend everyone.

Wow, great list! It's very useful for finding new challenges :)


 fiflydramalover:
Btw if you want to have @Rien make challenge badges for it, she usually prefers if you have high res photos prepared for her to use

Okay, thanks for the tip!

Yes, correct!! Just copy the challenge in the comments and fill it in :)

Also for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, Ciliolindemberg made an updated chronology of Chinese history in his lists and I've updated the challenge based on this. It does not have all those sub-categories which makes it easier and more organized and it has the dates of all dynasties. I'd recommend using the updated version, but feel free to use whichever you like! :)

(I've kept the earlier version in the challenge as some of you may still like it, and I've received feedback that those sub-categories may help with finding dramas for certain periods)

Yesterday I started watching Moonlight Mystique and Flourished Peony (4 episodes each). Watched the fourth episode of Moonlight Mystique (of a total of five released episodes) on lunch break.

Moonlight Mystique is the sequel of Ancient Love Poetry, starring Bai Lu as human and Ao Rui Peng as demon. From the opening song, there's a hint of BE (ML died hugging FL), but since its prequel Ancient Love Poetry had a HE, maybe it's for dramatic effect only. Bai Lu is as cute as always, and Ao Rui Peng is a great actor so it'd be a great one. I'm not sure about it, but this drama is giving me Till The End of The Moon vibe (two different races, prejudices, schemes, hate-love, hurting each others), but it's just my opinion.

Flourished Peony is a Tang dynasty female empowerment drama I watched for The Historical C-Drama Challenge, but actually more because Yang Zi starred as FL whose husband (Wei Zhe Ming) dislike her merchant status and her in-laws only want her dowries with Li Xian as ML (an official from Chang'an, I think). Sadly I watched machine translated subbed videos so it's not perfect. This drama has two parts, according to mdl, the other is Jin Xiu Fang Hua (about FL helping the government through her business, people said). Always love Yang Zi, and both Li Xian and Wei Zhe Ming are acting like sceptical persons but watching them both makes me smile a few times since they're quite funny. Overall it's not a depressing drama, imo.
