This can be found on iQIYI (no subs though, but understandably for a 1964 film).

Where to watch this?

I think The Story of Ming Lan and Bloody Romance can also go into this list (they used their actors' real voices for voice acting I mean, there aren't any historicals who do in site voice recording 'cause then they'd have huge sound issues!)

Wow, I want to know how it tastes, too!! Where in Europe did you find it? Is it available somewhere online maybe? (I've only found it in Amazon but hesitating to buy)

https://mydramalist.com/1393-long-vacation and https://mydramalist.com/8-secret-garden-2010 need to be removed

Thank you very much for the info!! Though I can't find anything (yet) under Zhao Liying's info!! Is this new adaptation confirmed?

Any news on this drama ever airing?

Btw, you may want to allow a few more dramas to be shown, instead of only the top 10.. The way it's set, we don't know what other people have voted, and it's a shame since many others would probably like to get ideas of what to watch next! :) (Just my suggestion, you don't have to follow it of course! ^^ )

I added a bunch! ^.^ Also check out (or vote for) the "It" Chinese Dramas of 2020 here: https://mydramalist.com/list/1XzGwWK3

Actually, Bloody Romance has an Open Ending, many people said there were hints all over that the ML survived & the head shadow guy lied about it. There are hints on where he is at the poem at the fan at the end, and the very last scene probably shows some place he may reside now. All these could be addressed with a 2nd season, but I don't think it's ever happening... :/

Btw, there's both movie(s) and drama(s) versions for Neko Samurai, with the same lead actor. Where should I start?

Congratulations on your first article @Misunderst0_od!! What a cute subject for it! ^.^ I've only seen "I'm a pet at Dali temple" from them.
[*Quickly adds all dramas mentioned she hasn't watched into her high-priority PTW lists*]

So where did everyone find all episodes being uploaded? Are they anywhere with English subs?? 'Cause on WeTV there's just the expected 2 new episodes today, even for VIPs!

OMG I love you!!!!!!!!!! :D

For your P.S. question, any version of any Jin Yong novel adaptations would do. "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre" 2019 version is a great place to start. "Legend of the Condor Heroes" & "Return of the Condor Heroes" - any adaptation/remake - (from the same trilogy, but they can be watched/understood alone) are also great.
For pure comedy Jianghu happenings check out "Your Highness" as well.
Also try "Bloody Romance", is a unique, dark wuxia/fantasy drama.

Hey, I loved your article & read it all despite it being so long, so that must mean it's well written! ^_^
I must admit I am surprised that anyone thought of this drama as under the radar, it was all people talked about during its release and a while afterwards, at least at Chinese drama-related circles.. In fact, I've delayed watching it till now because of the hype, I wanted it to die down a little so as not to have unrealistically high expectations about it. I'm glad you reminded me of its existence now that it's been a while with your article!! :)

Is there anywhere to watch this (with eng subs) if I can't get HBO?

Nirvana in Fire 2, The Rise of Phoenixes, Joy of Life, the Story of Ming Lan (this one is more romance & slice-of-life focused, but it has the most intelligent female character I've ever seen in a historical drama), and Six Flying Dragons (though that's Korean).

If I'm not mistaken, unlike most Chinese historical dramas, most of the main actors for this drama voice acted themselves!! :)

I removed Eternal Love & Eternal Love of Dream, since they don't qualify for this list! Some fantastical elements are okay, but if you want to vote for dramas with full blown fantasy/magic and/or demons/gods/etc., you can use my other list: https://mydramalist.com/list/74Kz5Wb3
