Thank you!🌸

Does anyone know of a Richard Li drama where he gets to clearly live at the end? (I know some have suggested that Dawn Is Breaking can be interpreted either way, but call me a pessimist☺️). I love and appreciate him so much, but why is he in so many tragedies? I hate SE the most!

Absolutely true for me. I used to get so excited about my Asian dramas and look forward to each new episode. Now I’m dropping nearly every one I start. This is so disappointing! What’s left for entertainment? I already dislike American TV and have become disinterested in British…Maybe it’s me! Perhaps you watch so many, you become saturated. Ugh, never mind. 😭

I’m going to pop in here and agree with you. I thought the way he forgave and 100% supported her was unrealistic and made me wonder if his character had been super traumatized at some point. I understand PTSD can sometimes have this effect. It made me CRAZY. I skimmed through it.

I would like to nominate Wang Churan for actress of the universe for her silent depiction of dismay, sadness, grief, growing horror, and embers of anger while the ML wove an idyllic tale of their lives together in the capital as they lay side by side in bed. Lawdy! When she wept in disappointment, I did, too. I was moved even though it’s hard to move me after viewing 50 million Chinese dramas. I’m so glad to be watching this one!

😍🥰

After the first five seconds of this drama, I put it away as too sleazy for me. Then I don’t know what happened, but I was so bored one evening that I went a little further in and discovered they are managing to skirt juuuust this side of too much but sure are short of polite. Then I became somewhat interested in the shenanigans of the ML and his half buttoned shirt. Before I knew it, I was up to episode 6. Is this how people get hooked on drugs? 😁🤭🤭🤭

😂 It’s not that we like it all the time but only under certain circumstances! If the sleaze fits, wear it! 🤭😁😭😂

Gosh, yes, all over the place

It made me so mad and turned me against the FL character, who really showed what a b#$*! she was in the first part. No amount of acting pitiful later brought me to her side after that.

It’s completed on Tencent if you buy the express package.

The difficulty she had in getting married was that her suitors either were hurt or died, so she got the label of being bad luck; she seemed jinxed.

I have also noticed the change in Avenue X and believe she is experiencing burnout, sadly.

My nomination for dumbest line in a 2024 Kdrama happens when the FL lead visits her ML bodyguard in the hospital after he saved her life at great cost to himself. She asks, “Why do you keep putting yourself into danger?” Um, woman, how do you think the bodyguard business works? Still, I keep watching for Rain and the evil chairwoman who cracks me up with her villainy, especially her intolerance for people she sees as fools.

Am adding my actual, real grandma voice to this, lol. Bring it on while I am still on the planet, please.🥹

Have you watched Under the Skin? He is fantastic in that one.

But you’re right; I only got a little reserve card for this drama a few hours before it premiered. It does seem strange they don’t promote more.

They have gone crazy in the last couple of days, releasing several dramas at once. And it’s not just IQIYI. A few days ago, I had nothing to watch; now I’m drama hopping like a flea on a dog! Listen, I am dedicating much of my retirement years to Asian dramas, but this is too much for even me. 😍

I binged this one in two days and loved it despite noticing many negative comments. There were a couple of episodes that dragged incomprehensibly, as if the writer(s) fell asleep at the wheel, but overall i found the drama to be interesting and compelling. The plot seemed understandable to me, even if some of the SF elements were a bit confusing. Most of SF has confusing elements. If you understood Three Body, for example, I will gladly listen to your explanation!☺️
