Cho Na

Ikr... I didn't read the whole novel... just a few first chapters, a few last chapters, and some here and there. Yan Sheng in this drama is waaay nicer. I have an image that the one in the novel is arrogant and rude. Typical old-fashioned tsundere ML. The FL in the novel also seems naive and weaker than SYR's Jian Dan.

Electrician, too! I remember watching a Cdrama, where the ML fixed the street lights on the street where the FL passes by cos it's always dark. The funny thing is the city worker, or whoever is responsible, knows about it. In my place, it's illegal for the public to touch them, and only certified electricians can work on street lights.

Yes, it's called Master Devil, Don't Mess with Me (恶魔少爷别惹我) by Jian Mo (锦夏末)
There is no official translation, but the Google translation from a Chinese link is quite good:

Is this related to Ever Night?

I cannot delete this article, only the Admins can delete articles. I could've written articles with updated lists, however, it seems MDL no longer publish editorial articles from voluntary writers like me anymore. They publish news articles to gain traffic to the website with Kdramas.

Wth the current synopsis... it doesn't make sense.
This is the better synopsis according to Douban/Baidu:

In her thirties, Ye Meng faced setbacks in her career. After resigning, she returned to her hometown with her savings to start a leisurely life in a small town. By chance, she met Li Jinyu, who had deep, soulful eyes, and was drawn to his mystery and aloofness. Two unfamiliar souls continuously touch each other. Ye Meng feels pity Li Jinyu's difficult life and actively offers him help with enthusiasm. Under Ye Meng's pursuit, Li Jinyu also opens his heart and becomes more confident and cheerful. They warm each other, heal each other, and strive to nurture this hard-won love.

However, the arrival of a ring shattered the peace between the two, and the mystery of Ye Meng's mother's illness and death many years ago slowly came to light. Ye Meng had to face the harsh truth—the departure of her mother was intricately linked to the Li family. At this point, Li Jinyu's inner balance had already tilted towards Ye Meng. She had brought him sunshine, and now it was his turn to help Ye Meng untangle her knots. In the end, the two of them joined hands to unravel the entanglements of the previous generation, let go of past grievances, and welcomed a beautiful tomorrow.

Yes, in A Little Thing Called First Love. When I saw Ireine Song with the curly hair in the beginning of this drama, I thought of the other drama, too! Maybe it's a trope in youth drama... 😂

This article was published waaay back then in Aug 18, 2021, and the list was based on the likes (hearts) the actors received from MDLers counted on Aug 7, 2021. MDLers sometimes gave hearts, reviews, flowers, comments to actors not only based on subjectivity, besides talents, also popularity, fandom, look, etc.

I was surprised seeing he was a member of XNine too, cos they all played in Oh My Emperor but I don't remember seeing him...

I just realized the actress who played SFL, FL's bestie, was the FL's maid in A Dream Within A Dream that just finished. No wonder she looks familiar...

I'm glad she changed her hairstyle in Ep 2. That curly hair looked horrible on her.

This is Part 1 of 2 and only covered Chinese short dramas released Jan-Jun 2024, besides introduction to C shorts. I was about to make a series of articles on them and already wrote Part 2 (that will also cover Sugarfree Culture besides the rest of dramas released Jul-Dec 2024), but unfortunately MDL doesn't publish voluntary writers' articles anymore, so I stop writing for them and write for my own website.

I wrote an article on Chinese short dramas on MDL before. I researched about this production company.

I finished "Legend of Zang Hai". It was very good! If you happen to forget the earlier episodes, or you got stuck in an episode, I wrote episode recaps on my website. You can check it out there! 😊

Eun Seo is Se Hyeon sister (her surname is Yun, dad's surname), but Idk if they have the same mother or not (Se Hyeon's mother ran away but her dad killed her).

None

Yeah, after I watched a few episodes, the style looks familiar so I looked up the director. I read an interview with him a while ago. He found the Sugarfree Culture to make short but good quality dramas.

Yes, 20 minutes per episode.

Hi! Nice to meet you again! Modern dramas can be emotionally draining, too. The last C modern drama that drained me was Reborn, but the story was very touching! What costume drama are you watching rn? I just finished A Dream Within A Dream. It's tense but not losing the comedy till the end.
