As one of the favorite pastimes of TV viewers, television dramas have become an indispensable part of popular entertainment. Although TV dramas lack the spectacular scenes of the big screen TV dramas are often able to move viewers by telling stories about ordinary people in extraordinary situations or facing compelling challenges. Today's Countdown surveys some of the hottest dramatic productions on the small screen.

No. 5: Wang Gui and Anna

An audience share of 1.33 percent may not seem like an impressive figure. But it's considered a major achievement for a story about common people. Even though it has a small budget, Wang Gui and Anna have come quite a long way especially since its cast contains no A-list stars. But its high quality scripts have helped the show attain a lot of success. The stories continue to keep couch potatoes spellbound across the nation.
