Healthiest Romantasy Cdrama I've Watched as a Woman
First review ever and I hope someone in the Chinese entertainment industry reads this.
Firstly I have developed a recent addiction to cdramas in an effort to try and learn about my native culture and country (Chinese Australian).
Unfortunately after watching literally almost the entire top 100 list of cdrama romantasy titles, I have come across a very troubling pattern.
Let's start with the anorexia glorifying stick figures of Chinese women which are both historically inaccurate and dangerous for public health in both the local and global Chinese community.
Not to mention this crazy obsession with height disparities in pairing short, anorexic women with massive 1.9m men.
Or that the idolisation of women who look like they have never even touched puberty borders paedophillia.
This definitely has affected the general public in China given the popularity with weight loss and public accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers who are literally clinically anorexic on RedNote.
It's unhealthy, both on a psychological, physical and also broader societal level.
Let's talk about Lost You Forever. Yang Zi is beautiful, healthy, buxom and yes she is still slim in this drama!! She is what a healthy Chinese woman SHOULD LOOK LIKE. Her figure in this drama should be idolised as opposed to Jiu Jingyi who has had so much plastic surgery you can barely see any facial expressions, or Song Zuer who is now definitely in the anorexia nervosa diagnostic range. She has muscle, she probably has a healthy period every month because to be a fertile woman you have to actually have a minimum percentage of body fat.
It has been incredibly refreshing to see.
The plot is so different, fresh and interesting. Nothing in Romantasy is realistic, and neither is several rich handsome men pining over one originally man now lady.
I love that she is conflicted but also takes her time choosing and sampling the wares.
Out of all of them this is the first one that actually has a reverse harem, and boy is it done well!
The series overall was incredibly fun to watch amongst all the pining and yearning.
Unfortunately the music score really can't beat some of the others however the acting in this drama has been top notch among everyone.
Yang Zi is the best actress I've seen out of all the female actresses so far. The fact that she has remained true to her own face and body puts her at a much higher tier than anyone else.
