Love and Redemption is definitely on my top 7 list. The chemistry between the two leads and the story line was top tier. Definitely an underrated gem among the many dramas this year.
The Wolf for me. Been waiting for this and it definitely saves my 2020 Drama list. Li Qin have undeniably chemistry to both Darren and Xiao Zhan. The plot pace and acting really pick my interest and their soundtrack is a new breath for me.
Best film for me blossoms of ruyi PAVILION JJY&ZZH INCREDIBLE TOGETHER THEY ARE MOST LOVELY COUPLE TOGETHER STRONG, HONEST CLEVER, VERY TALENTED. THANK,YOU 👍👍🌹🌹🌹❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍❄☃️👍 DEEPLY IN LOVE FOR EACH OTHER
Blooms at the ryui pavilion is the best with ZZH&JJY👍. They are the most beautiful, adorable and the chemistry between them is formidably superb😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
OMG...i began to say I'm an addict to Chinese historical drama when I reached #5 then I realized I watched all 7 in 2020 and the last 2 mentioned.....after the list....never mind I loved them all especially Generals Lady...
For i vote BLOOMS RUYI PAVILLION the best for us and the best love team ever..no.1 here in qatar,us,and uk..were happy thus couple they are nt boring...❤🙏👫 hoping new drama for this lovely couple and the story nt boring we are gigling for them..❤❤❤
My rank 1. The Wolf (I love all story but not the ending, and ofcourse the OST!) 2. Jiu Liu Overlord (I love this) 3.The Blooms at Ruyi Pavillion (The drama was good but I didn't finish this, they exaggerated the story just to make happy ending) 4.Twisted Fate Of Love (Currently watching this and I can say it's good but there's a problem for me for FL. Hoping for happy ending) 5. Eternal Love of Rain (Currently watching, hope it's good) 6. The Legend of Xiao Chuo 7. General's Lady (I didn't finish this, the FL ughhh)
Loved, love Darren Wang in The Wolf. Need to see more of his work. Enjoyed The General's Lady. Planning to watch others you've mentioned like Eternal Love Rain & The Bloom at Ruyi Pavilion. Currently watching Legend of Fei, so far so good. Thx. Oh...and awaiting Douluo Continent with great anticipation
I watched all 2020 Historical Korean/Chinise historical dramas so far. If I didn't finish it, its because I was disappointed halfway. I watched all on your list though. Chinise historical dramas was explosive this year. At the moment I think, I think "The Wolf" 🐺 🦊 just topped my personal favorite list. I just love 💘 everything about it, the plot, the cast, the chemistry. Oh please, don't let me start on the soundtrack..... ..
General's Lady so good watched over and over not only the main characters but All the actors and actresses so perfect in their roles good story line great production
I just finished Renascene. It was GOOD!!! The fight scenes, the plot twists, and the chemistry between the ML and FL was wonderful. All the actors acted their butts off especially the actor who played the ML.
I just finished watching love and redemption. I love the chemistry between Cheng Yi and Crystal Yuan. Ruyi's Pavillion stroryline is so good too. I love ZZH and JJY. Make sure to watch Legend Of Yunxi too. Both ZZH and JJY are main leads in the drama. I have been attached to Legend Of Yunxi and Ruyi's Pavillion ost for months now 😆 Love from 🇲🇾
Why is the General's Lady on here? I personally got secondhand embarrassment syndrome from watching that show. The female lead was too much for me to take. Not the actress but her character.
Me too, the drama isn't that good and the FL character isn't interesting. I continue the drama on episode 5 but I am not seeing any good and I tried it again to episode 10 then I give up. Sorry for that.
Generals lady was amazing, then ruyi pavilion, the wolf was really nice, the legend of Xiao Chuo, was indeed interesting and I loved how they developed the lead actress...😍
@@charlotte_Dino you are welcome. It was one of the best dramas I have watched so far. I really liked Cheng Yi’s performance and the other actors as well.
The WOLF is no.1 for me, I repeated watching it until end of episode., DARREN WANG, LI QIN have a great chemistry! & all casts are acting good.. I Love this historical drama❤
I have watched Twisted Fate of Love many times now. Every ones ( all the actors) are so good doing their jobs. Jin Han is excellent actor, Sun Yi is so beautiful and amazing Tan Jian Ci..! Love them all..!❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
The legend of Xiao Chuo is very well produced. Because it's backdrop is the Liao dynasty, the cultural settings, music, dances were very different from the usual run of the mill Chinese drama productions and is refreshing. I give it a 10.
I’m really picky on Chinese drama and not a big fan but The Wolf definitely is a really good one! All different emotions in that drama! Love how the main guy does everything for the main girl!
I agree about The Wolf. Everyone was praising it and loves it, but I don't see it. The acting is great, the set design and all that is great, but the story drags so much that I skipped about 20 episodes and was still able to understand the story and get the jest of what was going on.
Well...for me the best drama are The first 2 are superb..u really must watch 1. General's lady 2. A girl like me 3. Overlord 4. Love better than immortality 5. Oh my general 6. Princess agent-i like this but it has sad ending 7. Bloody romance 8. Oh my emperor 9. Love in thousand years 10. The wolf
Great chemistry..so pretty tang min and handsome ceasar wu in general's lady...they are the best couple indeed!i love "a girl like me" too...straighforward and not pretentious of her feelings..
I like Shawn Dou, Jin Han both from Princess Agents, and Bai Li from drama Fuyao. All of them have excellent performance skills and are charismatic. I ‘am looking forward to more quality productions from all of them.
The blooms at Ruyi's Pavilion.... already watch it... its nice, .. the love chemistry is there... yet... I felt that it fell short on the story development and ending... like something is missing.. who ever wrote the scrip and story line needs a major assessment... because ... damm.. I have such a high expectations specially after the 'Legend of Yunxi'.. even with its crazy over write from the novel... it still delivered.. but this... no... something fell short or missing... just... tsk
Dance of the sky emperor { 2020}▪︎ The Legend of Jinyan { June 2020 } ▪︎ The twin flower Legend {June 2020}▪︎ Love and Redemption {Nov 2020}▪︎ The chang-An youth { April 2020}
Try love and redemption ^^ the story line is quite good. It has a little combination of The untamed, Eternal love and Ashes of Love. I just finished it and trust me. It worth it!
Eternal love rain is ok so far (ep 9)... the female lead doesn’t really seem independent without the male lead. This drama unfortunately fell short for me so I’ll be rewatching the blooms of ruyi pavilion 😅
Just curious, Anton, why do you call them "Ancient" dramas, rather than costume dramas? Some of these are not set in an actual historical period, and some of them also include fantasy/magical elements (e.g. Eternal Love Rain, Twisted Fate of Love). I generally prefer to make a distinction between historical dramas (actual period in time, no fantasy or wuxia elements), high fantasy dramas (god, demons, magic powers) and low fantasy dramas (wuxia or other supernatural elements). This way I get a better idea of what I'm getting into when I start a new series.
As an extremely picky person, I'd say the only Chinese ancient drama that is worth to watch in 2020 is the Legend of Xiao Chuo. Got disappointed in 'The Wolf' since I had high expectation on this one, definitely not worth the years of waiting. Don't get me wrong, I really like Darren Wang and Li Qin. But I think the drama failed to show how heartless the Wolf boy became when he was transformed into Bo Wang. The emperor was supposed to be evil, but felt not mean enough. So I can't feel enough emotional conflict from the drama. Also, Li Qin's character was a bit too naive for me. Also a bit disappointed in Legend of Fei since I felt it's too slow (it's not on your list, but I feel like to comment on it anyway). Already got bored by ep 7 and now been trying hard to decide whether to drop it. The only one thing that keeps me going on watch it, but at a very slow speed, is because I really like both Li Ying and Yibo. But to be honest, I think they can do a better work on the chemistry like the one Li Ying had with Kenny Lin in PA. General's Lady, FL's character is too cheesy, I just can't stand it. Jiu Liu Overlord, got a second ML syndrome, dropped it too. I kinda like the story idea of Twisted Fate of Love, but can't stand the foolish character of FL, falling in love so easily with the opportunist character of ML, despite of being tortured, tricked and used by ML so many times. Really love the opening song tho'. Currently on 2nd episode of Eternal Love Rain, let's just see how it goes.
If you are a picky person, how could you watch Legend of Xiao Chuo? xD The King & Queen wanted to reform the system but never acutally did anything (I think I watched till ep. 30 or 40). Again and again it was: Han De Rang you go do it, we will sit back because only YOU can do it. Also some time skips with seemingly no changes to the old system at all, which meens they did NOTHING for the country in these skips. And her "Epic" leading-the-army moment to safe the day was not epic at all. Got resolved in 1 episode? Just to make space for more usless family drama again and again.
@@TheRandomASDF I'm not saying it's perfect..you can see, I don't think I overpraised it in here too. But compare to the others on the list (maybe even in 2020), I'd still say it's the only one worth to watch. But how can you say they did nothing to reform? Yes, the drama didn't show explicitly the implementation of the new system to the country. But I think, the hardest part in reforming the system is to manage the people in the court that against the new system and that's exactly what they were doing. The drama focuses on the struggles inside the court in order to change the system rather than outside. And it is a family drama anyway, I don't see why a family drama can't be considered a good one. Anyway, you are free to have your own opinion tho..as I am to have mine🙂
@@lavitaebella9595 just thought you got a similar taste cause I agree with your view on the wolf and legend of fei. Thats why I dont get why you would place xiao chuo in that place 😊 Sleuth of ming dynasty was my favorite in 2020 so far. Check it out if you havent 👍
I only watched The Promise of Chang'an to support Cheng Yi, he's the male lead from Love and Redemption. I'm pretty sure Love and Redemption is gonna be my favorite historical fantasy drama of 2020. Anyway, The Promise of Chang'an was too depressing. The writers literally piled tragedy on top of tragedy with almost no moments of levity. The acting was amazing (especially from Cheng Yi), the costumes and sets were divine, but the story will put you in a bad mental state.
Love and Redemption is definitely my #1 for this year as well. I can’t believe how underrated it is. I only found out about it cuz TH-cam suggested it to me, and boy am I glad I gave it a chance. The drama is definitely a hidden gem 💎 ✨.
dont mind me:
1:30 ruyi pavilion
2:17 general lady
3:02 xiao chuo
3:42 eternal love rain
4:40 the wolf
5:20 overlord
6:24 twisted fate of love
Love and Redemption is definitely on my top 7 list. The chemistry between the two leads and the story line was top tier. Definitely an underrated gem among the many dramas this year.

The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion was GOOD!!!
‘Blooms of Rui...’ Anton, you should mention that the second male leads steals the show while ML is absent for many early episodes.
I just finished Renascene. It was GOOD!!! The fight scenes, the plot twists, and the chemistry between the ML and FL was wonderful. All the actors acted their butts off especially the actor who played the ML.
I agree with the blooms of ruyi pavilion..ju jingyiand zhangzhehan the bests ever.

same i stop at ep5.. not very original
the show really interesting if you watch i watched it it is a very interesting romatic drama it gets better after ep 9 or 10

@@spoorthiraonm238 definitely. Sad ending or not it is very entertaining and takes you on an emotional journey.

The legend of Xiao Chuo is very well produced. Because it's backdrop is the Liao dynasty, the cultural settings, music, dances were very different from the usual run of the mill Chinese drama productions and is refreshing. I give it a 10.

Wolf is the best so far... I prefer a "real" looking man than a "fairy" pale man.
Me too I agree. That serious face and very faint smile. That rare sexy smile. He rocks as an innocent wolfie and also as Lord Bo.
Yes it is..Darren Wang is so attractive in the wolf.. so manly😍
I agree...
Happy ending?

Love and Redemption is definitely my #1 for this year as well. I can’t believe how underrated it is. I only found out about it cuz TH-cam suggested it to me, and boy am I glad I gave it a chance. The drama is definitely a hidden gem 💎 ✨.
@@gabby_9175 It's truly wonderful.
