"Travel back in time to live with the Qing emperor" is probably the most popular TV drama themes right now.  These are big budget, A-list star productions in China.  My wife has watched quite a number of these shows and she is crazy about them. 
China's Downton Abbey?

i think it's big budget, actually. as far as tv shows go. but i meant the nostalgia about a place in time that really sucked to live in. Crappy medicine, little to no social mobility, a world war. those don't really bring a  "Ah, the memories" moment :lol:

Interesting.  Folie a Deux is a very, very rare.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Goddammit, the female half of my entire family somehow became obsessed by that damn soap opera while my back was turned. My wife is bonding with my mother and my aunt on my dad's side over how bitchy some damn 1920s housemaid is.  :lol:

If you mean O'Brien, she's a ladies' maid, not a housemaid.  :bowler:

I don't know, any one of them can lead to a paradox.  And you know what that means, more buggy strategy game releases.
