Just go on your Netflix account and search The First Frost, it should pop up if it's available in your country.…
Are you from a Latin American country? From what I can tell, on Netflix, Chinese dramas generally start out in Asia, work their way around to North America and Europe before landing in Latin America. Some exceptions include Brazil and Mexico, which tend to get them earlier. I'm guessing, C-dramas may be a little more popular there or something. At the end of the day, Netflix sucks. Period.
Yes, I like this drama too! Some main reasons I like this drama:-Despite main male lead is a total green flag…
Chen XingXu and Zhang WanYi are my two (out of three) favorite actors. The third is Bai JingTing. Not surprisingly, he received formal education at the Beijing Film Academy. But he originally studied music at a conservatory.
So the "Revolutionary Army" became the Communist Party? I was wondering, since they portrayed them so well. Figures…
False. The Revolutionary Army was the predecessor to the National Army, the official military arm of the Nationalist Party (KuoMingTang) during the Chinese Civil War (from 1927 to 1949 ). It was originally founded by the KMT in 1925 to unify China against the warlords. Shortly after, the communist sympathizers split off to form the People's Liberation Army due to the "Shanghai Massacre," in which General Chiang Kai Shek and his conservative supporters purged the National Revolution Army (NRA) of its leftist elements. Over 10,000 suspected communists and a million civilians were executed by Chiang Kai Shek's KMT forces.
Fall in Love took place in 1926 just prior to the Shanghai Massacre and the communist split. It's unstated where the loyalties (aside from anti-Japanese sentiments*) of Tan XuanLin and the protagonists lie.
*The Japanese invaded China in the late 19th century and had its eyes on China again after the 1911 Chinese Revolution (and overthrow of imperial rule), which eventually led to the Sino-Japanese War (1937 - 1945).
First impressions are important in almost everything in life (although they are often not confirmed...). And in…
The ultimate irony is that someday our (early) 21st century ethical values and standards will undergo the same kind of scrutiny and criticism that some of us are applying now to those of the distant past. Perhaps, this will occur as soon as later this century.
The scary thing is that the international (primarily Western and Westernized) audience that watches Chinese dramas is generally (at least self-proclaimed to be) much more open-minded and tolerant than the rest of their proximate peers.
Zhang is her family name. For Chinese people, the family name comes first, not last (unless they're using their…
I don't know; I'm not even sure she has one. (Not all Chinese people have Western names.)
But referring to her by her family name (Zhang) seems a bit too formal. Her fans just call her RuoNan. (In Chinese, the first and middle names are combined.) Or, maybe they give her a nickname like "NanNan."
I haven't seen Reply 1988, but the synopsis states that the setting for Reopen My Journals is 1999. The original story (on which this drama is based) is titled: "To Myself in 1999." (This is the literal translation from Chinese.)
99 isn't 88 and 88 isn't 99, so no, this is not a remake.
EDIT: I just checked out the synopsis for the K-drama and its main character is a poor student. The heroine in RMJ is a top student.
Sorry to say le Shan is too young for the actor they paired her with hope that won’t cause trouble she is fucking…
The Chinese entertainment industry strictly forbids romantic scenes involving minors. No kissing or anything.
Aside from this being a work of fiction, from a historical perspective, it is fairly accurate. Back then (during the middle ages), it wasn't considered unusual for girls to be married as young teenagers in China and elsewhere around the world.
The modern concept of "childhood" didn't exist prior to the industrial revolution, which created an upper middle class that didn't need their children to work. Before that, the vast majority of families required their children to work and sometimes married them off (primarily for economic reasons). Children were essentially treated as little adults.

I didn't read the original source materials, but in terms of the dramas, I bet FF >
HL.
How do you rate the manhua? Why did you think it was "way better?" More profound? More complex? More meaningful?
