If Shakespeare tragedies are dramatic, then Chinese contemporary dramas are melodramatic. My definition of melodramatic is, the story has a bad ending, but it is so depressing that you feel like you fell into the mud and stuck there forever, until you stop thinking about it.
I'm not saying only the Chinese dramas has the capability to be melodramatic, because I'm sure Japanese literature and art has the potential well exceed the Chinese. But my statement was just merely my observation of a couple Chinese contemporary dramas.
