Introduction
Period Drama, or you can call it custom drama, which occurs in between the ancient and the modern society, this is the period where the society is facing the big changes, and the characters' background, social standings are shaping dramatically... This type of series are not common, but very memorable because of those dramatic changes within the society and the characters themselves.

The City Shanghai or Guangdong
For some reason, Shanghai and Guangdong are the popular place to allow the characters fight against each other, these are the cities where revenge, gamble, gangsters takes place...

	Title : Plain Love Casts : Gallen Lo, Cathy Chow Details : Cathy is the girl, who got marry to Gallen, the two went through so many difficulties together. Gallen once lost his memory, and wanted to get rid of Cathy, but Cathy still waited and waited for her husband to come back...
	Title : Plain Love 2 Casts : Gordom Lam, Maggie Cheung Details : this is my favorite period drama of all time! It is not a sequel of Plain Love, this is a completely different story, which deals a lot about a rich family, a marriage, a love affair and an amazing friendship... Gordom and Maggie's chemistry was perfect!
	Title : Country Spirit Casts : Gordom Lam, Charmaine Sheh Details : this is not a sequel of Plain Love 2, again, it is completely different. Plain Love 2 is about tea, this series is about wine. It deals with a rich family who makes wine. Charmaine was forced to married to the "dead" son of that rich family, who built an affair with Gordom...
	Title : Legend of Master So Casts : Chow Yun Fat, Andy Lau Details : I have no where else to categorize this series, so I am just going to put it here, because Chow Yun Fat grew up in this strict village... anyways, this is about a son of a famous kung fu master (Chow Yun Fat), I believe it is a true story base on the legend of Beggar So

The Ghost Stories
Pretty much all the ghost stories are set in the period dramas, I guess this is the best time period to present ghost stories... basically a lot of people during this period believe in ghosts

	Title : Time Before Time Casts : Gordom Lam, Cathy Chow, Florence Kwok Details : this is perhaps the most classical ghost story, which was an instant hit. If you like the ghost story, this is a must see series! Cathy plays the ghost in this series, who wants to find her lover in the previous life, which happen to be Gordom, their chemistry is tragical, but great!
	Title : A Loving Spirit Casts : Lawrenece Ng, Esther Kwan Details : the story is set in a theater, Lawrenence become a ghost at the very end. The main ghost in this series in the supporting actress Yuen Keng Dan, who helps Lawrenence and Esther all the time... I personally really hate the ending, and dislike the storyline, comparing to Time Before Time, this one was only ok... The only factor I like is Yuen Keng Dan
	Title : Seven Sisters Casts : Gallen Lo, Charmaine Sheh, Kong Wah, Anne Heung Details : Anne plays the ghost, who wants to find his lover Kong Wah, who suppose to suicide with her many years ago... Gallen and Charmaine are a couple, who loved each other very much, but has to separated due to Charmaine's deadly disease. If you saw Time Before Time, you will find lots of similarities between the two series

The Love Stories
The love stories are sometimes the best in the period dramas, because the main characters went through so many changes... it is torture!
