This drama is so good! I like the rebirth setting here, not suddenly transferred to a modern time, but something miracle happened within the mirror in the temple and the fortune-telling book given by the monk. They found a new way to pass the censorship haha 😂

This is the best costume drama ZLH got so far, in terms of script, cast, crew, post-production … I’m still waiting for his next promising one which can compare to it 🥹

Recommend The Double if you haven’t watched.

12 pm at noon, China time.

It seems many watchers rushed in for a happy ending cdrama recently 😂It’s the time for you to post this warning again.👏🏻

The happiest ending in cdramas I’ve watched.

Happy 1 year anniversary! I still remember those difficulties this drama got through before it really aired successfully on 2023. 11. 7. It should aired in May, but so many things happened, rumors flew everywhere.

For many novel readers, they were so happy to see the filming reuters made the characters walking from the book, and the couple's chemistry in the variety show. Thanks to the actors, crew and production company, didn't ruin the novel, everything in this drama is great! (regardless some plots changed to pass the censorship). It's always enjoyable to rewatch such a masterpiece.

It's also the best role ZLH got so far. The complex layers of the role gives him the space to show his actings. And he adds more charms and deep understandings to Xie Wei, compared to the novel. It's so lucky for ZLH and XW to meet each other at the most suitable time.

For Bai Lu, personally I think it's the role most suits her so far. She is Jiang Xue Ning, Jiang Xue Ning is her. I can't think of other actresses who could replace her in this role.

Overall, looking forward to the leads to bring more good-quality dramas next year. ZLH drama: The Best Thing, Our Generation. Bai Lu: Lament of the River Immortal, Moonlight Mystique.

Yes, 30k on Tencent equal to 10k on iQiYi or Youku.

Yes. Her sis is a nice girl.

Hi, thank you for the recommendation of kdramas. Those two are on my watchlist too! Joy of Life is a male centric drama, so I would recommend you drop it if it's not your taste. It's long and slow paced comparing to kdramas. And the political intrigues and humor are hidden behind the dialogues, so I would not recommend it to cdrama beginners.

Since you just moved from kdrama to cdrama, I would recommend you to start from fast paced cdramas first, like Story of Kunning Palace, The Double, New Life Begins, The Blood of Youth, My Journey to You. Their episodes are within 40 episodes. Most dramas before 2020 are around 50-70 eps.

You're welcome! Have fun! 😊

Here's my recommedation list for your consideration:

Political Intrigues:
1. Nirvana in Fire (S1 & S2)
2. The Advisor Alliance (S1 & S2) - this one maybe too serious for cdrama beginners.

Palace Intrigues:
1. Story of Yanxi Palace.

Costume Romance / Female Growth (Female Centric):
1. Story of Kunning Palace
2. Love Like the Galaxy
3. The Double
4. New Life Begins
5. Lost You Forever

Xianxia (Fantasy):
1. Ashes of Love
2. Till the end of the Moon
3. Legend of Shen Li

Wuxia (Martial Arts):
1. The Blood of Youth
2. My Journey to You
3. Who rules the world
4. Sword Snow Stride
5. Ever Night (S1)

The best costume comedy romance drama - ' The Romance of Tiger and Rose'.

And recommend another modern time loop suspense drama if you are interested, called ‘Reset'.

Hi, welcome to Cdramaland! Actually the old cdramas often have sad endings, but the new cdramas from 2017 mostly have happy endings. Because they are adapted from novels, the popular novels always have happy endings and epilogues. The recent trending is cdramas prefer to film the epilogues to satisfy watchers.

The novel doesn't explain this detail. But I guess since JXN already pretended to be her sister and involved in the relationship with prince Shen Jie. He probably asked his brother to give her a seat in the class. It's easy for him.

Haha, same same. I have rewatched it about 5 times so far 😂

Yes.

I don’t know how iQIYI counts it, looks like a combination of heat index and viewers . It’s top ranking on costume drama recommendation list.

Only his competitive actors' fandoms critized him, He's loved by so many watchers and went popular fastly in china. SOKP is the most popular drama last year Based on various datas and feedbacks. The total number of popularity is still ranking first on IQiYi so far.

Well, I have to say Xie Wei is still the best ML among the similar type MLs, so far in Cdramas land. Zhang Ling He's acting is top-notch!

Yes, I saw those comments, most are threatening his agency to decline the drama, otherwise they would leave him. Some fake fans are mixed in it to create an appearance that ZLH is losing fans, to belittle him and make other fandoms look better in comparison. You know some people belong to many fandoms. They can give up him easily and promote other actors. These are the toxic fans you mentioned I guess.

I guess those are not his fans, most of his fans are still fighting for him on weibo to boycott this drama and put pressure on his agency. I'm not sure where you saw this info, because some weibo accounts are crazy at making up news to attract eyes. Just be careful of those accounts when you searching info. The best way is to check on ZLH supertalk community, his real fans are all there. The community has managers to kick out misleading info.
