What historical Chinese drama do you recommend I watch?

Daidohi

Hello, how are you?

During 2018 I started watching modern Chinese dramas, but it wasn't until last year that I entered the world of historical Chinese dramas. So far I haven't seen that many but I have loved the ones I have completed. I feel that for a drama to hook me it must have good acting and cinematography, if so, which Chinese dramas would you recommend? 

So far I have seen these dramas:

  1.  Love like the galaxy 
  2.  The double
  3.  My journey to you 
  4.  Story of Kuning Palace

In advance, thank you very much <3

If you love good acting and cinematography, I highly recommend Nirvana in Fire for its intricate plot, The Untamed for stunning visuals, and Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace for its emotional depth. Also, check out Joy of Life for a mix of drama and humor! I had a huge literature review due for my dissertation and no time to get it done. That’s when I decided to use https://ukwritings.com/literature-review-help and I was not disappointed. They created a thorough review that covered all the key studies in my field. The writing was clear, and it matched my guidelines perfectly. Plus, I received it before the deadline, which gave me peace of mind. I got great results, and I’m glad I chose them.

Ever Night (2 season, I only watched s1 because there's actor change-Chen Fei Yu to Wang He Di-back then I can't stand his acting)

Joy of Life (S3 otw, I only watched s1 because I'm waiting for s3 to air before rewatching s1 and watch s2 because I waited like 5 years until s2 aired-no kidding)

Mysterious Lotus Casebook

The Blood of Youth (there's a prequel titled Dashing Youth. I personally think TBoY is better-story and acting wise but DY had amazing CGI and lots of handsome youths haha)

Nirvana in Fire (I only watched s1 but there's s2 and upcoming s3 unrelated to each others, plan to watch the upcoming s3 since there's Wu Lei)

Story of Minglan

Goodbye My Princess (sad ending)

Eternal Love (there's also its sequel: Eternal Love of Dreams but it's almost two different stories)

Under The Power

The Untamed

and from above recommendation, I especially like The Long Ballad, been watching it twice.
