Haha, you are truly a Cdrama watcher! I'm glad you like the article. Thanks for your suggestion!

Finally you got your article published! No, I don't watch Magnificent Century, but when I saw your article in the spreadsheet I actually looked up what is it about. I enjoy reading your explanation on the Basic Words. The Chinese cast is interesting. Vengo Gao as Sulṭān Süleymān, LOL! The Turkish actress who played as Hurrem Sultan is so pretty. Hopefully you come back from hiatus soon!

is this drama completed? there's no finish date.

You're right, the tropes/cliches actually don't bother me either. They only become noticeable since I have to find more-objective aspects to write in a CW article than "everything is great go watch it you won't be disappointed" message, lol.

I didn't ask if the drama motivates suicide but if the author, Dazai, "somehow motivates a suicide" [to the character in a drama]. The detective, when she finds Dazai's books in Mi Chong's room, suspects he wants to kill himself. But since I've never read his books I don't really know if the author's words can be a trigger [on someone like Mi Chong in this drama]. I apologize if my choice of words causes misunderstanding.

I did??? I don't remember that, I apologize but I don't think I 'asked' you, probably just a suggestion. I actually suggested people left and right to write articles on subjects they like, hehe, as long as it's within the guideline.
But I'm glad you wrote this article. It's cute and entertaining!

Seems like you have a quite good knowledge on horror shows. Probably you should write articles on them, hahaha. The writer who used to write horror article is no longer active.

lol it's still far away from Halloween. But the article came out for mid Oct so people can watch horror dramas that may take several days for each. I have another article for Halloween but compilation of horror articles (the MDL articles revisited series). Hopefully will come out on Oct 30.
Yeah I read about that cancellation. Horror dramas are so rare, even the ones mixed with comedy or romance. Too bad China prohibits horror dramas, if not they'll produce a lot like their romcoms, lol. Didn't Hong Kong use to make lots of horrors?

The synopsis: "he starts to have feelings for Nampueng, his young step grandma."
LMAO!!! Only Thai can do this!

oh you should start a new list with them ;D

Cute article! Xiao Le from Autumn Concerto is the best! I used to make screenshots of his scenes and put them in the Feeds, lol. His final scheme in the drama is so cheesy but adorable.

Twice? Wow! Yeah the fast it's short makes it easier to re-watch. I would like to re-watch it too, someday!

Where can I watch it?

Unfortunately he only has 671+ likes on MDL :(

Oh really? I've never knew new members have to wait for 6 months to write an article. Probably it's a new guideline, yes I read your post in the Forum asking to write an article. The guideline someone mentioned is very useful and it's new.
If you want to comment on my every article, lol, just let you know not every co-written article has me as the main writer. That means, if you comment and I'm the second writer, I will not get notification that you commented. The first writer does, and they may not let me know.

First I thought that both GMMTV and Channel3 got permission to remake the same drama, so they both produced them with a little bit time span. But with your info it makes sense now.
That's what I've been wondering about Sawan Biang, cos Thai usually remakes their dramas every 10 years or so, lol.

Oh really??? This is very interesting indeed! I mean, I know every country has its own government censorship agency for its entertainment viewing, but I didn't know Thai is quite strict. I thought only China's NRTA is hard to please, lol.

Thank you!

Go Ahead is a slice-of-life drama, so if you don't like that genre you may find it boring. If you want a drama with suspense or action, this is not it. Just like you watching growth of a bunch of people along the way, mainly the kids. But their acting is great. You don't need to like what other people like, it's all to personal preference. It can change, too. What you like now may change in several years ahead, for example.

Well, lakorn itself has changed a bit along the way, though Thai still produces Slap and Kiss subgenre lakorns but not too crazy anymore. For example, they never remake the most notorious Sawan Biang, as Thai usually remake their popular dramas. Their lakorn usually for local consumption, so they cater whatever Thai people still like thru their viewer rating.
My favorite Cdrama? Wow I cannot pinpoint one. You are welcome to check my list tho it's general not for a certain country:
