Chinese Historical Drama with LOTS OF CLICHES

Katie Lilac

Please Recommend A Chinese Historical Drama with LOTS OF CLICHES!!!

My sister and I are going to do a drinking game and are finding the perfect cdrama for it. It doesn't have to be the best drama out there, but at least watchable.

We are taking a shot for:
- Time/Dimension travel
- Someone is poisoned
- Kiss underwater
- Accidental kiss
- Blood spit
etc.... we've got a long list haha

Thank you!

I heard Love and Redemption had a lot of blood spitting!

AH
  • The Princess Wei Young - Lots of poison and blood spitting. Assassins. Surviving a fall off a cliff. Love triangles. Revenge / forbidden lovers / enemies to lovers. Hidden identity. Brief cross dressing. Palace politics / fight for the position of Emperor / crown prince. ML leads troops. Fake death. If you have "FL is framed for something she didn't do" you might die of alcohol poisoning.
  • The Eternal Love - Time travel, reincarnation, blood splitting, assassins, two souls one body, surviving a fall off a cliff, love triangles (ish), enemies to lovers, palace politics / fight for the position of Emperor / crown prince, etc.
  • The Eternal Love 2 - Time travel, assassins, one soul, two bodies, love triangles (ish), medicine given / taken via kiss, palace politics / fight for the position of Emperor / crown prince, dead main character comes back to life.
  • Sound of the Desert - Poison, blood spitting, palace politics, ML leads troops, love triangles, kiss / hookup while drunk, fake death, an intimate underwater situation...
  • The Legends - So much blood spitting. Two souls, one body. Kiss / hookup while drunk. Love triangle. Dead main character comes back to life. Sinister prophecy / cursed main character. Revenge.
  • Lost Love in Times - Time travel, amnesia, blood spitting, poison, palace politics / fight for the position of Emperor / crown prince, ML leads troops, kiss / hookup with questionable consent, love triangle, forbidden lovers, sinister prophecy / cursed main character, and on and on.
  • Dreaming Back to the Qing Dynasty - Time travel, amnesia, palace politics / fight for the position of Emperor / crown prince, love triangle, (I'm sure there's more that I've forgotten). 
  • The Imperial Doctress - Fight for the position of Emperor / crown prince, ML leads troops, love triangle, forbidden lovers, it's unfortunate that dubious consent is a cliche in these dramas, but yeah there's a marital rape scene with the SML, challenging gender roles, etc.
  • Legend of Fu Yao - Reincarnation, amnesia, assassins, forbidden lovers, sinister prophecy / cursed main character, palace politics, cross dressing, underwater kiss, dead main character comes back to life. 
  • The Romance of Tiger and Rose - Time travel (sort of), two souls, one body, love triangle, palace politics / fight for position of City Leader / Crown Princess, poison, blood spitting, ML leads troops, cross dressing, swapped gender roles, enemies to lovers, medicine given / taken via kiss, fake death.
