Is it worth a watch? Are chinese dramas as good or better than kdrama? I’m getting a bit tired of kdrama xD
The biggest difference between cdrama and kdrama (aside from the obvious cultural heritage) is that Chinese dramas has two kinds of dramas, and have a somewhat unspoken hiearchy to what's considered good. For example, there a thick line between idol dramas and serious dramas. Many idol actors are considered luiliang...and even Alist idol stars are only taken seriously for thier marketbility and not for thier talents. Kdramas I think the line between idol stars and serious actors are little bit more gray, and because of this idol dramas are taken at the same artistry as serious dramas.
In terms of storytelling, Chinese idol dramas have alot of storytelling issues (lacking thematic or depth), and over the years are being restricted even more.
The more serious and in my opinion better Chinese dramas are less accessible, and also has less international following, and rarely goes viral. But what I find is these dramas becuase are better made and has depth, are less easier to binge. If you would like some good Chinese dramas, I can recommend. As for idol dramas, they come a dime a dozen and usually has high ratings on MDL.
Meh...the criticism wasn't actually directed at ZLH.That's just one of Lily Malice-Phallus's standard, negative,…
It's all over XHS. Many critics and netizens are using ZLH portrayal of Xie Zheng to criticize the beautification of military imagery. It even made the 5'oclock news...I saw a clip.
They have dubbed Xie Zheng as the "General foundation."
Okmgad the double standard... at least we get to see Duan Xu prove to us he's worth his title 🤣 I will never…
Okay it looks like you misunderstood my point, I'm saying it's a double standard for Feiyu character, how he's not allowed to be a young general but POJ is. I actually love both novels and both antiheros equally. I'm just sad POJ didn't do the character justice. But I'm happy that LBTG is doing Duan Xu right.
Oh....🤣 ... it was an enjoyable drama but it wasn't peak cinema. The novel was better but it wasn't deep. I felt the drama budget was appropriate for the adaption. It's not like one of these dramas that require any form of epic storytelling and all the characters were two dimensional...not bland enough but also didn't lift of the page kind of deal. LBTG is much bigger than Destiny in all forms from storytelling to filmmaking technique, with more complex characters...so I am not sure what the OP is talking about.
People keep criticizing Fei yu’s acting without even understanding how Duan Xu character is written. Maybe try…
Okmgad the double standard... at least we get to see Duan Xu prove to us he's worth his title 🤣 I will never get over the wasted shennegans happening over at POJ.
When they were still filming this drama, I started reading the novel, and I finished, I think, mostly the first…
the screenwriter choosing to only portray the cannon events is doing good. I do miss some of the details (slice of life ASMR things) but that wouldn't help move the story.
Lmao...who are these 80% percent...it's heartening when pple lump international watchers as low media literates who only care for face cards....this is why we're getting trash dramas all over the place aka POJ.
Jaysus may I never meet those who rate based on face cards only ...
ummmmm NO.... it's cringing watching someone who can't act ... play pretend. Lmao. I've dropped alot of dramas that had beautiful people because thier face card can only take them so far.
The only way to reach the high rating of drama was show them women empowerment in full drama just like all cdrama…
If they sideline another complex male lead character, I'm boycotting Chinese drama for a while. Like I can't take this 💩 anymore. It's seriously not good for my mental health. 🤣
Woah Reba's best has to be Eternal Love and the sequel Eternal Love of Dream. Might be old, but it is a classic
I couldn't finish that drama. I am talking about in terms of acting. I don't like her acting style in her previous dramas, and I think for Grave, there's a subtle change to her that has made her Simu for more convincing.

I like the production design of LBTG, it's unique in the cdrama realm.
