ah sadly beside AMA, I've not encountered many diverse fls in cdramas yet ;)
Try "The Story of Ming Lan", one of the Strongest (not physically, but more per your definition) and Smartest female lead I've encountered in a C-drama. She fights to live on her own terms, and most importantly, she does it under a woman's confinements of her time & society (so she's still a realistic portrayal of a woman of her time/place), by managing to play by the rules of this confinement, and play perfectly *with* the rules!
It's a very enjoyable drama with a strong female lead (not the best, but still very enjoyable), but the problem is they cut it towards the end. It's still worth watching in my opinion, though!!
Can someone put a spoiler post on here letting me know if it is a sad or happy ending?
Not sad exactly, nobody from the mains died, she just got back to her time/world... Or at least that's what was implied, it wasn't very clear, so I would say, if nothing else, the ending was ambiguous!
How come it is so low in the ranking? It is an excellent adaptation, solid plot, great script and you can see…
Yeah, no romance shows aren't that popular!! But this drama wasn't even something I use to watch (Me? Youth & Sports drama??) before, but I got to it at random, and I was impressed, and then I couldn't stop watching!!!! It's my favourite drama of the year (for now), it touched me so much, I'm already missing the characters tbh!! :(
Oh, and on the ranking on my list above, fortunately it has picked up now, and it's currently at #13!!! :)
A few things I don't quite understand, did I miss it or not understand thoroughly?What's the relationship between…
This drama was cut from 70 episodes to 36, hence the confusion is totally understandable!! Also, for some reason, it seems like Jin Yi's scenes were the most cut ones! I was also confused while watching it, and had the same theory as you at first (him crushing on the Prince) lol!
