1. Siege in Fog – Best Tragic Drama
The first Chinese drama in our list is Siege in Fog. It is adapted from Fei Wo Si Cun’s novel Siege in Fog, it tells a story of a man commit a suicide to save her love when he can own the world. Her previous Chinese novel “Sealed With A Kiss” has the similar plot.
What I love Siege in Fog is Elvis Han’s role Yi Lankai hasn’t slept with Sun Yi’s role Qin Sang since they got marry over 2 years. He is a gentleman and waits his wife to fall in love with him. The hero loves heroine deeply, but she thinks he isn’t interested in her as he doesn’t touch her since he is a play boy. Heroine treats her marriage as a deal, she gets marry with him to help her father gain the power which he lost. She still misses her first love Li Wangping (Jeremy Tsui) since she is someone’s wife. It drives Elvis Han crazy when he sees his wife flirting with Jeremy Tsui.
Siege in Fog is a complete tragedy, that’s why this drama attract to keep on watching. Elvis Han wants to stay away from power struggle since he is third son of warlord, so that he pretends to be a play boy. But Sun Yi thinks her husband lack of desire to advance and motivate him to gain the power so that her father get the position he lost. She doesn’t know she brings death to Elvis Han.
Starring: Elvis Han, Sun Yi, Jeremy Tsui

4. The Negotiator
The Negotiator talks about Cinderella and prince’s love. This Chinese drama has nothing with the negotiation skill as I didn’t find any this kind of skill from lead actress Yang Mi and lead actor Huang Zitao after watching whole television series.
