I think it should be that most of the dramas of that era were too heavy, and both the deductive topics and the characters in the TV series gave people a feeling of depression. At that time, young people usually passed the time by watching plays and relaxed their leisure time, hoping to absorb a relaxed plot. Although there are many heavy themes in costume dramas, most of the stories told by costume dramas are mixed with simple feelings similar to those in novels, and the plots are relatively relaxed. In addition, the more prominent highlight of costume drama is that there are many themes in costume drama, and you can never get tired of watching it.

1. The drama of the times is too heavy. A group seldom appreciates a TV play, largely because the style of the play does not meet the taste of the public. With the development of time, TV dramas are becoming more and more relaxed, and it is impossible for sadomasochism dramas to last long. However, most of the time dramas are based on history, with a textured background, and fighting and killing are inevitable. In addition to the protagonist, the characters in the plot are often cannon fodder, and lovers are not allowed to be well, and only people are sacrificed. The rhythm is too heavy for people to accept.

2. The plots of costume dramas are mostly relaxed and rich. Although costume dramas do have a sense of heaviness similar to the drama of the times, they are generally possessed by large-scale historical costume dramas of the times. The plots of most costume dramas are relatively easy to unfold, and the story content is relatively pure. Whether it is for supreme power or for the financial resources of wealthy families, it can be developed with the development of love line. The story is rich in content and the audience enjoys it.

3. Costume dramas are rich in themes. Costume historical drama, costume palace drama, costume Xianxia drama, costume Jianghu drama ... costume drama can be described as everything. Whether it's palace style or magic style, or even chivalrous and fearless Jianghu style, costume dramas can keep the audience. There are many themes, and the more directions you can choose, the more audiences you will naturally get. Compared with the drama of the times, the scope of costume drama is simply several times that of another type.
