What an impressive list ! Such a gargantuan work ! I'm in awe. Would it be possible to add the dates next to each historical period ? As many of us don't know a lot about Chinese History, that would certainly help us situate events (Cdramas plots, in this case) more precisely in time. Thank you in advance 🙏🏻
Great list ! Unless I'm mistaken, these Kdramas are NO LONGER UNDER 50K watchers 🥴 (and good for them, right ?): - "The Good Bad Mother" - "Chicago Typewriter" - "Shopping King Louie" - "Dali and the Cocky Prince" - "My Holo Love".
As a newbie to Asian dramas, I've only seen her in You Are My Glory (where I appreciated her acting but wasn't WOW by it, yet 😉). So I'm really thankful for this great article as I'm interested in discovering her in other works. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Am I the only one thinking the lead girl's mother is overbearing and borderline inappropriate (entering the ML/host's…
I was so excited to start this Cdrama as I usually love a slow burn romance. Unfortunately, this series was quite disappointing.
It started well: good acting, good premise, good pace. Certainly cute at the beginning, the constant misunderstandings between the 2 MLs became excessive. This mainly ruined the overall pace of the show as the episodes started to get quite repetitive, overly slow and, sadly, uninteresting. And when the 2 MLs finally get together, they keep failing at communicating properly (I don't remember them once really talking honestly to each other). Regrettably, from then on, the unnecessary subplots didn't add any value to the rest of their story. This series could have been smartly wrap up in 12 episodes which would have been way better.
For some reason, as the show progressed, I also started to appreciate the endearing ML more and the FL (a lot) less. She had the most unnerving attitude towards the ML during the whole drama. Am I the only one who thought they had barely anything in common ? At some point, I even found the SECOND main couple much more interesting and emotionally connected as their characters developped.
Despite the good performance of the cast (against such a weak plot), I personally thought this series lacked the charm of other similar Cdramas like "Hidden Love", "When I Fly Towards You", "My Secret" and "Wait, My Youth".
Btw, the FL's overbearing mother kept getting on my nerves until the end. No change there ! (See previous Spoiler message for details) ;-)
this was super boring. yea its all green but meh. let down on the chemistry. dont build up chemistry and tension…
I totally agree with you: "When I Fly Towards You", "Our Secret" & "Hidden Love" (I haven't watched "Love Equations" yet) are way better. I would also add "Wait, My Youth" to your Youth/School/University Cdramas' list.
Am I the only one thinking the lead girl's mother is overbearing and borderline inappropriate (entering the ML/host's bedroom while he's asleep !?!) while she's extending her stay at the ML's home ?
Thanks to this very interesting article, I'm now learning more about the different types of Chinese Art present in one of the great Cdramas of 2024. I'm loving this cultural topic ! THANK YOU !🙏🏻🙏🏻

Does anyone know if "Our Secret" was dubbed ?
