people are cooking me though 😭

I litterally explained why I find this rhetoric absurd if you read my comments properly...and I have watched those shows lol I don't prefer "safe" dramas, I just prefer good script where things actually make sense and certain traits the characters have contribute to the theme and plot.

But it wasn't some mutual argument 😭 the cousin is the one at fault

so I'm gonna rant abt it again in a separate comment bc I see lots of these takes...creating fictional historical media doesn't always give you a free pass to excuse historical values and normalise them🤷🏻‍♀ everything you include in a good script needs to have purpose and do sth for the plot. Sometimes you do portray male chars in historical fiction realistically for the sake of the themes you want to convey, which would obviously be critisizing those questionable values (E.G The red sleeve cuff). But what even is the point of making some cutsy family romance drama and make the male chars ,who are the love interests, a bunch of woman haters other than pissing off the audience?? There's litterally no point in this and the plot wouldn't be any different if they weren't that way so it does leave a bitter taste in your mouth and makes you think the writer did it on purpose lol
P.S : New life begins had a very similar premise but the men were never this way bc the writer knew realism would do no good for a romance drama. And flourished peony does a great job in including historical accuracy and depicting women's struggles with patriarchy in their time, but also manages to make the male love interest acceptable for the modern audience.

There's litterally nothing Song dynasty accrute about it though (other than costumes and hair and even those are like, 50% accurate lol) so I don't understand why the men have to hold historically accurate morals 😭 It litterally has no thematic purpose and does absolutely nothing for the plot

btw why is lyx dubbed when her line delivery is no less acceptable than wxy...yuzheng is biased smh

also hope ppl stop saying "this is a historical drama so it's normal for the men to be misogynistic" bc the characters are completely fictional and there's really nothing historically accurate about it besides the Song dynasty label slapped on it for the sake of the costumes 😭 not sure how depicting men in an idol romance drama as historically accurate misogynistic contributes to the plot...like we are a modern audience who are supposed to like these characters and root for the ships to sail lol

I always find supposedly "female centric" stories narrated by male writers to have lots of problems but idk maybe I'm judging too early lol

litterally 20 minutes into ep one and ml is gaslighting fuhui into believing her being upset about her freaking HUSBAND hanging out with courtesans is jealousy...I'm sorry but I do not like this whole "wife disciplines his childish irresponsible husband" thing at all. I don't find it funny and she actually needs to divorce his musty a$s lol

c-ent is kind of the funniest ent industry in the world. Nowhere else on planet earth do you see the whole 30-40 episode of plot in the supposed "synopsis" and the most important scenes in the entire show causally rolling over in the opening. Truly 0 fcks given abt spoilers 😭

can this please be fun and entertaining like at least let the dramas be good if we're losing idol bona to the actress disease 😭

my purple murderous pookie princess babygirl 😭💜

It's just that the "age gap" tag button on mdl is broken or something bc you see it in litterally EVERY drama's page since a few months ago lmfao

You never know tbh bc even though that might be one possible scenario, it can also be that they might have tried to scare her out of it and silence her (but can you please DM me the name of the drama if you don't want to say it here? )

well I've watched the innocent man and he was like that in there too 🤷🏻‍♀️

so is it clear which drama's crew it actually was?? This is so horrible...

ty ;)

soooo the the master disciple goes both way and they switch roles in different lifetimes lol...also this is the 1st xianxia where I don't see multiple names for the ml lmao

Last sentence??? okay Shakespeare

zjy is litterally a goddess I gasped out LOUD when I saw her in this new costume with the veil omgggffff
