Must Watch 'Historical' Chinese Drama!
Please only include your favourite 'NON-Xianxia or Wuxia' Chinese Dramas.
These C-dramas are either loosely based on or inspired by historical events with a more serious undertone (Palace intrigue, politics, harems etc). Certainly not centered around Immortal Heroes or Martial Heroes.

Additionally, here's my list for more specified genres. Enjoy :)
