Nowadays, almost all popular costume dramas are adapted from novels, such as Zhao Liying's "Walking with the Phoenix", Hu Yitian's "Cherish the Flowers", and the popular "Sauvignon Blanc", "Long Moon Burning", and "Ning An Like a Dream". It is not easy for these ancient puppets adapted from novels to rush out of high evaluations! "Ning An Like a Dream" scored 6.8 points and was not in the top ten, "Walking with the Phoenix" was eighth, and "Sauvignon Blanc" was fourth, and the champion had a high score of 8.5!
TOP10 costume dramas adapted from novels with the highest rating in the past year: Jing Tian and Feng Shaofeng's "Scorching Romance" Douban score of 6.9
Jing Tian and Zhao Liying, Yang Mi, and Liu Shishi are all post-85 actresses, and several of them have launched many costume idol dramas in recent years, but before the broadcast, netizens complained that they were "middle-aged people playing ancient puppets", and "Scorching Romance" was not favored before it was broadcast, but I didn't expect the plot to be unexpectedly good-looking. The heroine's IQ is online throughout the whole process, and she will not abandon her career for the sake of feelings, and the male protagonist really respects the female protagonist, and the supporting roles are not tools. However, this drama is unpopular and not very popular.

"Protecting the Heart" is adapted from Jiulu Feixiang's novel, this drama was highly praised in the early stage, and the plot had bright spots, but unfortunately it was high and low later. Netizens complained that "Protecting the Heart" was personally changed by the author and screenwriter Jiulu Feixiang, and in the middle of the drama version, a second male Bai Xiaosheng who did not have a novel popped out of thin air, adding a new emotional line between the second male and female protagonists, which made the audience who wanted to see the protagonist's CP very irritable. Although the second half is a pity, the plot in the first half is good-looking, and Hou Minghao and Zhou Ye have strong sparks.

"Walking with the Phoenix" is another S+ blockbuster drama presented by Tencent, several S+ ancient puppets of Tencent have collapsed before, and they have finally slowly recovered their decline in recent years. "Walking with the Phoenix" has a very good texture, and the green waters and green mountains and special effects of the real-life shooting can be seen to have spent money on production. Most of the audience is criticizing the plot, thinking that the setting is old-fashioned and the rhythm is slow, but it has gradually entered a better situation in the later stage, and it is a costume idol drama worth chasing in the near future!

TOP7 of the "highest-rated" novel adaptation costume drama in the past year: Chen Xiao and Mao Xiaotong's "The Legend of Yunxiang" Douban score of 7.3
Following "Menghualu", Chen Xiao's "The Legend of Yunxiang" is still a high-quality costume drama, with a martial arts theme, which is quite well-made, and many of them are live-action shooting. The martial arts scenes in "The Legend of Yunxiang" are beautiful, although the overall plot rhythm is relatively slow, but the plot will not reduce intelligence, and the service is of a high level, Chen Xiao and Mao Xiaotong's acting skills are online, but it is a pity that the CP spark is a little weaker, and Douban has a high score of 7.3.

"Sauvignon Blanc" entered the top five! "Sauvignon Blanc" is undoubtedly a super-successful novel adaptation! Not only is it highly evaluated, but it is also the costume drama with the highest number of online broadcasts last year. There is no magic novel in the drama version, and the costumes and scenes can be seen to be carefully crafted, although some special effects have been complained about by netizens, but the flaws are not hidden. The selection of actors is even more surprising! Yang Zi, Zhang Wanyi, Deng Wei, and Tan Jianci's acting skills are all online, and the three pairs of CPs all make everyone snort to death.

"Nine Righteous People" is a cool drama focusing on female revenge, adapted from the novel of the same name by Li Bocoon. The plot implies concern for the situation of women, and its intention is better than many S+ big heroine dramas. The portrayal of friendship in the play is quite touching, and the presentation is also very special. The singular episode is the past seven years ago, and the even-numbered episode is the revenge seven years later, and the contrast between the two can clearly see the transformation of the characters before and after seven years.

Zhang Ruoyun has become the queen male protagonist of suspense dramas and costume dramas since "Celebrating More Than Years". "Da Ming under the Microscope" is adapted from Ma Boyong's book of the same name, Ma Boyong is also the author of original novels such as "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" and "The Wind Rises in Longxi", and his works are all high-quality when they are filmed. This time, "Da Ming under the Microscope" is also a golden production team, the details of the scene are attentive, the script is also good, and many lines are mysterious.

However, it is often difficult for Ma Boyong's works to achieve a double harvest of popularity and word-of-mouth, so although "Da Ming under the Microscope" has high quality, it has not exploded in all aspects like "Celebrating More Than Years". The story tells that during the Wanli period, an unfair tax policy caused a protracted chaos in the Huizhou capital, which was a game of many interest groups such as the people, county officials, the state government, the household department, the first assistant, and the emperor.
