I'm looking to find any interesting Chinese / HK Dramas. I've already watched a decent amount of Japanese and Korean Dramas, but I cant seem to find any Chinese / HK Dramas that suit my taste, with the exception of "a step into the past." If you could recommend any it would be highly appreciated. 
What is it about Chinese dramas that you don't like? I'm also very picky with Cdramas, I avoid the ones with dumb plot developments, bad CGI and one dimensional characters. You don't specified any genre you like or dislike so here's my recommendation:

Cdrama (historical and wuxia):
Battle of Changsha
Three Kingdoms
Scarlet Heart
Legend of Zhen Huan
Young Warriors of Yang Clan
Legend of Condor Heroes 2008

or lighthearted ones:
My Sunshine
Strange Hero Yi Zhi Mei
Fairy from wonderland
Divorce Lawyers

Or well-liked ones I haven't touched yet:
Prince of Lan Ling
Sound of Desert
Journey of Flower
Comes to eat Shan shan

HKdrama:
No Regrets
Rosy Business
Moonlight Resonance
Line Walker
When heaven burns

Popular HK dramas I haven't watched:
Hippocratic Crush
Tiger Cubs
Triumph in the skies
Forensic heroes
well the reason why I don't like them is because the acting can be too over the top, which then takes away from the actual plot. and the romance in them can come out unbearable. and im not really picky with genres, as long as the acting is decent and the plot isnt lacking then ill watch anything. and thanks for the list ill definitely check some out now.
Comes to eat Shan shan was a little slow and a little under developed but was al right if you want something different and have the time to watch it. (patience) 
and The Journey of the flower was really good. they both have the same female main lead but her ccharacter is way better in TJF
