Channel: unknown
[1]
Hey guys it's Anton. The first quarter of
2020 has premiered some really good
[7]
C-dramas and in this video I would like to
go over some of the very best costume
[10]
series that have been released so far. A
few of these were highly anticipated
[15]
dramas for quite some time now that
finally aired, while others were somewhat
[19]
dark horses that completely turned out
to be pleasantly unexpected surprises.
[23]
Ancient dramas from mainland China are
always my absolute favorite and the ones
[27]
that have been released so far this year
are great watches if you have been
[30]
looking for a drama to pick up. Anyhow
grab a seat, get comfortable, and today I
[35]
will be going over the top 7 best
ancient Chinese dramas that have been
[40]
released so far in this first quarter of
2020. Before I go on though, please
[44]
remember to hit that like button if you
like content like this, and if you're new
[48]
to the channel do subscribe if you'd
like to see more videos like this in the
[51]
future. Just a reminder, the dramas on
this list appear in no particular order,
[55]
so just because something appears
earlier or later doesn't mean that it is
[59]
any better or worse than the previous
show. Just had to get that out there. Okay
[63]
everybody let's begin. Number one, Miss
Truth. Miss Truth is a historical crime
[69]
investigation drama that follows the
story of a skilled forensic examiner as
[73]
she teams up with a local judicial
official to help solve murder cases. She
[78]
comes from a noble family but has a
passion and talent for forensic
[81]
autopsies and finding clues. Her ultimate
goal is to find the cause behind her
[85]
mother's mysterious death and along the
way ends up meeting both the
[89]
strong-willed official from the Ministry
of Criminal Affairs as well as a
[92]
misunderstood but caring assassin. Pinky
Zhou and Toby Lee star as the main
[97]
leads. We have been doing an explained
series for the first few episodes of
[100]
this drama which you can check out in
the link down in the video description
[103]
below, and I have to say this was one of
the best unexpected surprises for the
[108]
first quarter of 2020, so don't miss it.
Anyhow, moving on. Number two, The Love Lasts
[115]
Two Minds. This drama just started airing
yesterday and is already shaping up to
[120]
be a great series. This is the first
collaboration between Yukee Chen and Alan Yu
[124]
as main leads. Alan is a prince who
goes undercover after being ambushed by
[128]
conspirators of the Royal Court.
Yukee plays a girl who lost her memories
[132]
and becomes a constable. At the very
beginning she also
[135]
plays his childhood friend who happens
to look exactly like the other girl, but
[139]
due to certain circumstances they had to
part ways. The show is rife for some
[143]
interesting plot twists, so stay tuned.
The costumes and set in this drama
[148]
look top-notch so far. I think that The
Love Lasts Two Minds is definitely a
[152]
drama you will want to check out. Number three, Handsome Siblings. Handsome
[158]
Siblings is based on the Legendary Siblings novel which had already had
[162]
other remakes in the past, but none
within the last 15 years. The story of
[167]
two brothers who were separated at birth
because of a revenge plot against their
[171]
parents, each brother was raised and grew up in different environments. One is
[175]
raised among a group of somewhat
villainous but ultimately scrupulous
[179]
eccentrics, the other is raised by a
powerful sect whose leader was the one
[183]
responsible for their parents death. The
plot was to get the twins to fight each
[187]
other in order to fulfill the sect
leader's grudge against their dad. The
[190]
show stars Chen Zhe Yuan and Hu Yi Tian as the main brothers and features some
[195]
good-looking visuals. Number four,
Guardians of the Ancient Oath. The story
[201]
follows three siblings from the royal
family after their country collapses as
[205]
part of inter-kingdom conflicts following disputes between nations. It is
[210]
a historical costume drama that has some magical mythology type elements. The show
[215]
has some really good production value
and a great cast.
[219]
Lareina Song and Leo Wu have good
chemistry in this and Wang Jun Kai has
[223]
been interesting to watch so far. Even
though they are young, I find the acting
[228]
to be well done and not too particularly
distracting. I especially like the
[232]
cinematography from Guardians of the
Ancient Oath, it has a really good
[236]
old-school Nirvana In Fire type of vibe.
This drama has not been talked about
[241]
much, but so far I found it to be a
charming series. Number 5, Eternal Love of
[248]
Dream. What top list would be complete
without The Pillow Book. A sequel to Ten
[253]
Miles of Peach Blossoms, but really, is
more like a reboot since certain key
[257]
events have been changed to be more
accurate to the novel. Eternal Love of
[261]
Dream has been a pleasure to watch so
far. The show follows a young nine tailed
[265]
fox who is the future queen of the Fox
clan
[268]
and her romance and struggles with the
former Emperor of Heaven. Dilraba and
[273]
Vengo Gao play the respective main
leads and I've got to admit these two
[277]
have got some absolutely adorable
moments in The Pillow Book.
[280]
I think Vengo is hilarious and
unexpectedly is quite suited for
[284]
comedy. When I first started this drama
when it initially premiered I found it
[288]
going a little slow but the more later
episodes have really stepped it up.
[293]
Eternal Love of Dream is quite simply
one of the best dramas to watch right
[297]
now in 2020. Number six, Under The Power. I have been thinking
[303]
about whether or not to include Under
The Power on this list because there are
[307]
several others that debatably could
appear in its place so let me just
[311]
quickly go over the honorable mentions.
Doctor Cutie, Ever Night Season 2, and I've
[316]
Fallen For You were all contenders that
I considered. Ever Night Season 2
[321]
especially because I had such high hopes
going into it because of the original
[324]
Ever Night, but ultimately I chose to
pick Under The Power in this slot because
[328]
I felt it just did a few things better,
especially the storyline. Allen Ren and
[333]
Seven Tan play the main lead pair, and the
chemistry between the couple was
[337]
actually pretty good. The female lead is
sassy and smart and the male lead is
[342]
just plain good at what he does. Now, this
drama is more of a slow burner
[346]
especially if you were looking for
something with heavier romance, but in
[350]
all, Under The Power is an interesting
crime drama if you were looking for
[353]
something in that genre. Number seven, The Great Ruler. Last but not least, this
[360]
drama has some seriously high production value.
[363]
It even has Steven Hammell, a notable
Hollywood producer as part of its
[367]
production team. Visually and
cinematically, it stands among some of
[371]
the very best. But of course a drama
isn't all about visuals alone. The series
[376]
is the third in a novel trilogy that
included Fights Break Sphere as its first
[381]
volume, its plot taking place after the
events of Fights Break Sphere. The Great
[385]
Ruler has not been getting the best
reviews online, which is a shame because
[389]
I actually don't find this show all too
bad. Many people dismiss the show because
[393]
of the younger actors. Roy wang and Ouyang Nana lead The Great Ruler and
[397]
although their acting can be described
as ever so slightly flat, it doesn't mean
[402]
this drama cannot be enjoyable. I would say it's
[404]
akin to an ancient teen drama and I feel
that the main pair have been definitely
[409]
doing better that certain other idol
dramas by older actors. The Great Ruler
[414]
is not a bad one to check out. And there
you have it guys the Top 7 Best Ancient
[420]
Chinese dramas that have been released
so far in the first quarter of 2020. if

[436]
Season 2, and I've Fallen For You are all
honorable mentions that are great runner-
[440]
ups. Which of these dramas have you
already started to watch or have
[443]

exciting year already, I absolutely
[448]
