Are there fairy tales for adults? Those in which Zamaruska Cinderella meets her beautiful Prince, changing her life for the better? Where is evil necessarily punished, but well deservedly triumphant? Such tales, in which you want to believe? Perhaps, yes. Perhaps, to someone they may seem nothing more than a "chewing gum for the brain" or "television soap". But a beautiful life beckons, and we again look at another melodrama about love, if not Brazilian, then Argentine, Korean or Japanese, at worst - Russian. And we sincerely sympathize with all Juanitam Rosam-Luciyam-Ji Enam and other beautiful young ladies fighting for their place in the sun and the heart of some harmful handsome man. I wonder where did this hobby begin?

"Rich too cry"

The next series, remembered by many, was a romantic Mexican story, stretching for 248 series. However, it did not stop to follow all the intricacies and remember each character not only in person, but also by name.

The next "best melodrama of all time" tells about the life of a poor girl Marianna Villareal. Unable to get along with her stepmother, the young Marianna does not think of anything better than to escape from her home and go to the unknown without a penny in her pocket.

"Santa Barbara"

The famous American series, which has become synonymous with an endless history, is known to many. Someone looked at him out of genuine interest, worrying over the fate of the heroes, someone for the sake of the handsome Mason or Cruz.

Love lines are striking in their intricacies. When it seems that at least something has finally cleared up, "Santa Barbara" (TV series) makes a new turn, and instead of the long-awaited happy end of the characters, the next ordeal awaits.

"Wild Angel"

This series on popularity beat all records in the late 90's, so it's in some sense the best melodrama of all time.

The main heroine, performed by Natalia Oreiro, won with her naivety, courage and kindness. Millions of girls wanted to be like Cholito and wore a red cap back.

The series tells of a poor girl who grew up in a shelter and got a job as a servant in the rich house of the family of Di Carlo. Milagros is a true tomboy, but having become acquainted with the master's son Ivo, she becomes another victim of his charm. Ivo himself in a simple Milly is not particularly interested at first. He is more attracted by the sultry beauty met at the disco. The young man managed not to recognize the street girl in it. A couple constantly quarrels, then makes peace.

The situation is aggravated by the fact that Ivo's parents are not at all happy about the hobby of the son of a rude maid. However, on the side of the girl stands the mother of Federico Di Carlo - Dona Angelica, seeing in her a long-lost granddaughter. The old woman does not even guess how right she is.

In addition to the adventures of the main pair, life is shown and the rest of the inhabitants of the house. And it is no less stormy: the owner's daughter falls in love with the chauffeur's chit-less, the mother of the family hides more than one skeleton in the closet, Ivo's bride twirling with his father ...

"Poor Nastya"

In addition to foreign, there are interesting Russian drama series. The brightest and most spectacular is "Poor Nastya". In addition to Russia, the show was shown in 34 other countries, and it was very popular.

Anna Platonova (in the baptism of Anastasia) is a beautiful talented girl, raised by Baron Corf as her own child. She is expected to have a brilliant future on the stage. But in fact she is a serf, of which at first no one knows, except the son of Baron Korf, Vladimir. The young baron feels mixed feelings for the girl: he likes him and does not like him, because he does not want to share her father's love with her. The situation is aggravated by the fact that the best friend of Vladimir, Prince Mikhail Repnin, falls in love with Anna.

After the death of Baron Korf, relations with neighbors, the Dolgoruky princes, are becoming more acute, wishing to annex the estate of Korfs to their lands.

And again the question becomes open: who are the parents of Anna and why did the old Korf take her upbringing?

Asian series

If you want something more unusual, but no less interesting, pay attention to mini-series (melodramas) that are shot in South Korea or Japan. By the heat of passion, the development of the plot, the dynamics they are an order of magnitude higher than the Argentine or Brazilian "soap", and they do not have American vulgarity.

"Spy Men's Will"

The story tells about the love of North Korean agent Men Wahl and the South Korean popular actor and singer Kang W.

Men Wohl is a North Korean sergeant who missed the opportunity to get into the department of interest because of her own second-hand inattention. This oversight will lead to a series of incredible adventures. Deciding to achieve what is desired at any cost, the girl tries to correct her mistake and goes with a secret mission to a hostile South Korea. As well as it is necessary to the good spy, not informing nobody about it. The spontaneous decision of the girl turned out to be only in the hands of the military leadership, and Men Wohl gets the assignment to marry South Korean star Kang W. And everything would be fine, but Men Wave is completely devoid of female charm and has no clue how to communicate with men.

Kang U - wayward and haughty handsome - to women refers to both a beautiful interior decoration and does not at all seek to wear a ring on his finger. He is more interested in the mystery of his father's death and the search for a mysterious criminal. And some strange girl causes only pity and little interest.

Over the course of 18 episodes, you will not be bored, even in spite of the somewhat trivial and fabulous plot.

"To score in the last second"

Melodramas about love can be shot and Japan. And not bad.

Naoki is a young handsome guy, professionally playing basketball and dreaming of getting into a big sport. And for this he has everything you need. Everything, except confidence in own forces. It is because of this that he fails one game after another.

Rico is a talented violinist, but, like Naoki, she is not so sure of herself that she can not find her worthy place and is interrupted by occasional concerts.

Moving to a new apartment, she turns out to be Naoki's neighbor. It seems to have "met two loneliness", but it was not there. Naoki has a fiancée whom he likes to love, and Rico is courted by a positive man in all respects who also seems to like the girl.

Whatever series you choose, just enjoy it. After all, the best melodrama of all times for everyone is different, and not necessarily one.
