I think everyone has different opinions on every drama which is fine, but in my opinion it is worth watching.…
I really loved Princess Agents but it has an incomplete ending and there's no chance of a season 2 so I don't usually recommend it (unless you really want to see a badass FL, then you MUST watch it lmao).
It's hard for me to decide which historical to watch too. There are so many from both China and Korea, it's difficult to choose. And they're all usually super long with 40+ episodes lol I know the struggle too well >.<
Side note, have you seen the trailer for Royal Nirvana? It's currently airing and it looks absolutely amazing. Once it's completed it will definitely be my first thing to watch, but that probably won't be until the end of December.
This show is supposed to be stupid and over the top. I enjoyed it for what it was but it is NOT the first c drama…
True but a lot of dramas are dubbed, and done much better. The male lead VA wasn't actually bad (I've just heard him in a million other dramas...), but that can't be said for the rest of the cast. Most of the voice actors in My Girlfriend is an Alien had that generic insincere C drama voice actor sound. They take away from the actual actor's performance and make the drama feel less unique (imo).
Thought i might give cdramas a try after watching a few kdramas...god that was a terrible first episode -_- I…

Try these instead ~ My Huckleberry Friends - nostalgic school drama All is Well - dysfunctional family centered drama Battle of Changsha - set during ww2 Story of Ming Lan - realistic historical set during the Song dynasty Boss and Me - workplace romcom (the sound on this one is a little shitty, but it is the actors' real voices. Also it's a bit cliche but I thought I should add a more fluffy show to the mix.)
A lot of C dramas are dubbed, but they are nowhere near as obvious as in My Girlfriend is an Alien. To my knowledge most of the dramas I mentioned are not dubbed. But if they were then it was the actors themselves who dubbed over and they did so properly. I hope you give C dramas another try! :D

The Story of Ming Lan is my favorite drama ever. I push everybody to watch it lol I'm obsessed! I'm super happy you enjoyed it!! I was so happy that they were just a normal family in that time and not royalty. It was so refreshing.
Zhao Li Ying (the lead actress in Ming Lan) has quite a few really good historical dramas, can't really go wrong with her work.
They work with other actors :Bai Lu worked swith ZXL, Lai Yi, HMH, and will work with LYX soon and another actor…
Oh boy lol here we go. I didn't say they were bad I don't know why you're so defensive. I have seen them paired with others, I have checked out their other work, and I still find them to be just okay actors. I'm not excited about seeing a third drama with this pairing. Everyone's allowed to have an opinion. You don't like Peng Xiao Ran and I really don't care because you don't affect me. I'm not attacking your idols so calm down.
I want to see them paired with other actors. It would expand both of their horizons and would help them improve. Idk I don't find either of them that great of actors honestly (not bad...just overrated for their skill level) but if the drama is good I'll still watch it.
This looks so good. The vibe from the trailer is super mature and seems to have a darker colour palette which I love (I hate bright idol looking dramas). Li Yi Tong is a favorite of mine and Luo Jin is amazing too. That sounds like their real voices in the trailer (at least it sounded like Li Yi Tong's to me), I hope they dubbed themselves in this one.

I'm so happy you liked it!! Goodbye My Princess tore my heart to shreds but in a good way lol.
Historical romances are probably my favorite genre. Another really great one is The Story of Ming Lan. It's more of a slow-burn, so it takes a little while for the story to really pick up, but it's so worth it.
The Story of Ming Lan has some incredibly well written dialogue. While some of it can be lost in translation (the ancient Chinese sure loved poetry), most of it still holds up.
i thought it's only running for 3 seasons? why are people saying there's new season coming. i really wanna watch…
We all thought there would only be three seasons but it is definitely not finished. If you don't want to be left with a cliffhanger, don't watch it. However, it is a fantastic show.
I honestly think she should leave FBB agency at this point.
Oh definitely. Every other actor who was in a hit show this year has been signed on for other projects but all she's been doing are reality shows/photo shoots. If she's really in this drama then I'm happy, but how she went from her killer performance as the lead in GMP to this supporting role I'll never understand. She deserves way better.
Yang Zi and Kris Wu are cool and everything, but I'm just really hoping Peng Xiao Ran will have a significant role here. She hit it out of the park in GMP, I'm dying to see her in a new project.
Thanks. I was wondering if I should try watching this or not. It sounded cute, but then I saw someone mention…
The ML here is wayyy less mean than Naoki. You can clearly see that he likes her and isn't a complete prick to her all of the time. Also Xiao Xi isn't nearly as big of an idiot as Kotoko is and she does have a backbone. It isn't the most healthy relationship depiction, nor is the FL the strongest woman in the world but it is an adorable lighthearted watch. Infinitely better than Itazura na Kiss imo.
I'm a few episodes in and I'm wondering how the show manages to redeem the husband enough to make everyone in the comments ship him and the FL so bad. As of now, I hate that prick. This show makes me so mad. The acting's good and it's interesting, but I am so pissed when I watch it I don't know if I can keep going lol.
