It's really not just censorship...the talented writers in question are never even hired in the first place to do their job. Censorship has always existed in china but why is it that even the general public of chn collectively agrees cdramas were of Much better quality before the mid 2010s? bc making money has become more important than maintaining the quality of scripts and production. It's just capitalism at the end of the day but I don't really wanna go there since this isn't the place for it lol

I'm very serious when I say we NEED a funny fantasy romcom with pretty non trafic but popular hot leads... like this year's xianxias have been sooo dull iqiyi is dumb as hell 😭

yall my prophecy is fulfilled they actually and really and for real put god damn fsmm before this 😭 what is their problem

-> use me as the fuck iqiyi button -<

I've never read it anyways I was just talking about the rumours lol

I can assure you china being conservative is not the problem though lol

ik it's an idol drama produced by yuzehng and I don't expect a masterpiece of a plot but I hope the trailer is not just bait and they fully commit to making things as crazy and makjang-y as possible...like I don't care if it's exaggerated and insane as long as it's the fun and entertaining kind of nonsense but I can't forgive a safe and boring snoozer revenge drama lol

tbh I don't mind even if esther plays cutie patootie characters until she's a granny lol she found her strength and she always picks really fun dramas where the chars she does are a contradiction to society's cliche assumptions of women and I love that so much! Most of the girls she's done have been hyper feminine or very adorable but also really strong and hardworking and also incredibly clever in different professions and that's what makes her special 💕 I don't necessarily think the only way she can prove herself as an actress is through "versatility" or whatever, she has a good eye for fun scripts and has a certain unique brand for herself which is gonna make a memorable celebrity for generations and that's more than fine :)

shayao and huazhi >>>>>>

one of the comments down below is saying hyt is great in this but zjy is a bit "mechanical" 💀

fl fixes ml is boo, boring, ugly, tired, uninspired...but ml fixes fl??? absolutely YES 💯

I would generally not really recommend it lol but if you want to watch it really bad, you can try the first couple of episodes! It actually starts off as a pretty decent slice of life romance but the melodrama becomes intolerable later💀I personally kept watching cause I found the chemistry between shj and ysj insanely electric from the very first episode but its not really a good show...it's still better than the rest of this scriptwriter's works though lol

But overall I surprisingly really adore this drama. It's not eventful or fast paced or even necessarily exciting, but it really did click for me emotionally 😭 It's not even a sad show but I keep crying whenever the female characters have emotional talk and I genuinely think they're all really well written! It's not a masterpiece but an example of how an actually feminist family drama could be done in the simplest way. Instead of filling the story with bitter jealousy and petty cat fight between the fem chars and numerous attempts at making the side woman chars look dumb and shallow to lift the FL up, it actually values all the women in the family and tries to flash out their humanity beneath their surface level falws and builds complex and beautiful relationships between them. I always love well-told women's stories so I really enjoy this :)

the way hu yitian has maintained the exact same face with no further movement in any feature on his face than 2 nanometers over the course of his career is impressive to me 👏🏻

shaoyao is 100% autistic coded and I'm kind of surprised nobody talks about it. I don't think it's just a coincidence that her very specific body language (I just don't think it has to do with her being simply just shy and introverted) is coupled with the amazing genuis at such a young age and there's also a whole subplot of no one around her understanding her condition and treating it like mental illness or a disease to be cured which frustraes her a lot. I don't think I'm overthinking on that part!

I never said it shouldn't have had a distinguished look from saguks...it's just that the execution of the idea is horrible lol

Like they spent 40 flipping million won on this show and they couldn't even hire a proper costume designer 💀 it would've been more watchable if they just went straight up joseon dynasty instead of whatever this is lol

I don't even stan him or anything but he's undeniably got the most insane face card in the entire industry rn. Like everytime his editorials and photoshoots show up on my feed I litterally gasp...

awkayyyy if that makes you sleep at night ♡

hbd to the babygirlest girl ever ♡
