Chinese: Meet Yourself Fake it till you make it You are my Glory Dream of Splendor
Korean: My Liberations Notes (less romance more slice of life) Lost (less romance more "dark" slice of life) It's okay, that's Love One Spring Night Tell me that you love me
The Koreans are more or less "mature". I'd say Chinese have better mature romance couples :)
Anyone else wondered why general Zhu Fei, who always was with General Shang Bei suddenly disappeared after they accompanied Shen Li in ep 22? There was no scene that implied that he died, but we never saw him again after that...
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE ENDING! Finally a Xianxia not leaving me in pieces in the end. I'm so happy 😭❤️
This is such a comfort drama and comfort couple! I love the love language of gentle skinship they had. They were so soft and warm. A drama which was from beginning til end exciting and never lost its ground. Even as a comedy it stayed true to its genres. This is such a perfect rewatch drama!
Also Xing Zhi giving love advice in the end was such a hilarious outcome hahaha
Ep.37 Oh my T-T Father & daughter reunion was so well-made! The emotions of both were so well executed even tho they barely had any scenes together. Shen Li really looked like a little girl when looking at her father 😭
How he shoved Xing Zhi out of the way tho lol I find it hilarious that his "son-in-law" is thousands of years older than him and also looks older haha
So tragic, and his love for SL was true. But that doesn’t take away the fact that his actions ended up leading…
Yes, totally true! His actions shouldn't be ignored and I also think Shen Li wouldn't be able to kill him. But it was so sad to see him begging for death and carrying out his "wish" himself. My heart still ached for this pitiful character who couldn't live for himself all his life T-T
Ep.35... T-T Poor Mofang... such a tragic character. He was used all his life as a puppet by his own father until he had to kill himself for it to finally stop. I found it really tragic as I really liked him. Despite him going "astray", he was never evil. They really couldn't find a way to at least free him from being possessed by Fu Sheng and his father? He couldn't even live as himself in half of the drama. And every time he was sane he begged someone to kill him, but no one did. He had to do it himself 😭 I have a soft spot for tragic characters like him.
She got down to business real quick lol "What happens in the cave, stays in the cave." 😂 For real, I love the dynamic with this couple. So refreshing and exciting!
i do pick the same opinion , in my teenager year i watched anime so i begin to watch jdrama before kdrama in that…
Yes, that's exactly how my experience was. My interest for East Asian content also results from Manga and Anime, so naturally, I got into Jdramas first. I even feel it was easier back then to watch Jdramas because Japan didn't restrict fansubs/content so religiously.
But as time went on, Korean and Chinese shows became so much easier to access, and honestly, their production quality just soared past what Japan was putting out.
Japan doesn't seem to care much, but for us viewers, it's kinda sad and frustrating. I bet J-Dramas could be way more popular. And who knows how many awesome dramas I've missed out on because of it...
Airing just the first 5 episodes and then leaving us hanging forever with the rest? It's frustrating and I'm losing my interest in this drama :(
I know a lot of people complain about the overall ratings of Jdramas on MDL, but I think a big part of the problem is how hard it is to access Japanese content. It's like Japan isn't interested in reaching international audiences. They're all about exclusivity and it shows.
With most Jdramas, you have to jump through hoops, registering on multiple sites for fansubs, RAWS and whatnot. Some are even hard to access. Most people just want a simple click-and-watch experience. Who has time for all that hassle?
Legal subs for Jdramas, especially while they're airing, are few and far between. The hype on sites like MDL usually revolves around airing dramas, but that's rare for Jdramas because of the long wait for subs.
And then if it is on Netflix like here, they are messing up the schedule and killing people's interest.
J-Dramas will never get the recognition they deserve internationally because they're not pushing for it. I respect their desire to remain exclusive, but it's still frustrating and viewers here shouldn't be surprised if on sites like MDL the overall viewership and ratings are low on J-Content.
I love how possessive XZ became but boy ain’t that a red flag that he doesn’t let SL leave? but wow I’m…
I understand him to some degree, because Shen Li can be reckless, but I also thought that was obsessive and red flag. It's actually the first time I'm disappointed in him... he never acted like the typical "red flag" ML but then he did... I hope the imprisonment isn't going on for too long. It made me dislike him at that point.
Whether he wants it or not, but Shen Li is a warrior, a leader and lives for her folk as well. She's not his bird to be caged and hold safe >_<
Just finished the first two episodes and I can already tell that I will like this a lot! The story is so interesting how all these spoilt ladies of Hua Family will now try to survive without their status and luxury and make a living for themselves. That's such a cool premise in this kind of historical setting! I can't wait how the struggle will bring all these character developments out of them.
I bet grandma gonna be grateful now that Hua Zhi educated herself vastly and that will change her attitude towards her 😅
Chinese:
Meet Yourself
Fake it till you make it
You are my Glory
Dream of Splendor
Korean:
My Liberations Notes (less romance more slice of life)
Lost (less romance more "dark" slice of life)
It's okay, that's Love
One Spring Night
Tell me that you love me

I also liked the Japanese drama "Pride" :D
