It’s because everyone hoped for a HE and were so invested in the growth of the bros and leads. We pretty grew in love with them all and then, BAM! It’s hard for our hearts to take in. I loved the drama myself and it took me weeks to recover. I think it would’ve been even better with maybe 10 more eps as it got choppy towards the end. Sad that they couldn’t develop that one character with the curly hair, marquis . It felt like his story was cut short in the editing room floor.

Best ones are few

Like he can have any fruit but wants the forbidden one…can’t be a drama w/o drama

Alright… well, I’ve got nothing left. The rest are Xianxia or modern.

Previews and behind the scenes clips are looking really promising! Can’t wait!

Hehe… then maybe The Double is not for you. Don’t even bother with The Glory.
What about The Imperial Coroner with Wang Zi Qi. Another dark horse.
Romance of tiger and rose
Under the power

I’ve got other favorites but not historical costume

Just remembered The Starry Love. You might like it

Yea LLTG started getting 🥱 for me too

Lol… haha…got it. Well, no raping ever occurred but they fell for each other hard. The princess growth arc was well done. I saw her again in a better life. She’s so cute. And the bromance was one of the best.

ok - imma gonna start this based on y’all comments. Need a change of pace from the suffering /longing/ angsty xian xias.

IKR??? I am so irked. I just feel like they want to typecast him into being the suffering self sacrificing character too. Even in blood of youth.
One drama I didn’t watch was What If b/c the mother character was so overbearing

I finished a few days ago and I can say, I don’t remember! Haha…that’s how unmemorable he is. But let’s just say he’s met his end. Someone did sacrifice their life in battling him. That was sad.

I was thinking about the ending… it could have been executed to something positive and sweet yet, it feels melancholy to me… the whole drama felt like it went from cheerful loving to sad, painful and angsty to melancholy.

I’m bracing myself for the possibility that he won’t have the safe happy future with his beloved.

I’ve watched him in JOF 1 & 2. He’s such a good actor - plays morally grey and villainous characters well.

Have you seen Blossom from 2024? That was very popular in China and overseas

What about love like the galaxy - it’s kinda sad though.

If you like something lighthearted and humorous, check out les Belles.

NIF is very good but a political strategy with romance and brotherly love and love of country . Very poetic with lots of subtle non direct communication. I remember bawling. Couldn’t recover for weeks. A Journey To love did the same to me but that drama was not as good as NIF. Because of the 40 ep restriction and some censorship, the story unraveled towards the end but it was still good.

If you can shut off your logical brain, you can enjoy getting swept away by the emotional romantic scenes. Not very logical or deep IMO. It’s like enjoying a delicious dessert with whipped cream. Airy and sweet but not much substance afterwards when you think about it. I enjoyed it at the beginning but it started to make not much sense (kinda like the Glory) so ended up dropping it. Sigh…

POB so far is good.

From previous posts, this takes places in a fictional time period similar to the warring states period. There was no unified country so imperial city did not exist. These states are battling for dominance.

Yeah, I just wish this comparison would stop, especially since ZLS became famous after her and they’re so different.
