I found GGS enjoyable too! Esp their chemistry and FL. But just the pushing of glory for China was abit much for me ^^'. I've not tried Symphony's Romance but after hearing from you, I don't think i'll start it.

Same here! I haven't followed cdramas in awhile until I had a kdrama burnout. My mom recommended me to watch ROTAR and I was hooked. I started willingly looking for more historical romcoms to watch afterwards and found that there were more cdramas appearing that were of better quality than just the usual recycling of cliches.

wamangti wamangti tanjuezaiwazuodi (I don't actually know the lyrics to 爱 but I still remember the tune from when I was a kid).

Maiden Holmes has a mature and sensible FL (aside from one misunderstanding that doesn't last too long).

I recommend Go Ahead.

Agreed about your point related to China's government. Go Go Squid was one of the modern Cdramas that was quite patriotic (though not necessarily with values and beliefs).

They replaced quite a lot of the og cast...

Glad you loved it!

For me, second male leads are second male leads for a reason. It's rare and not highly favoured for a drama's FL to steer towards the SML over ML. I believe you would just like more MLs to be NICE like most SMLs. Tbh many dramas already have nice MLs. Just have to find the right ones.

Tho agreed, I don't like disappointing/tragic endings for SMLs.

Same ^-^

Ugh despite her past, I really did like her acting. It's too bad she didn't come clean MUCH earlier, instead of letting this can of worms sit around waiting to be open for so long.

No point convincing someone who has already convinced themselves otherwise. It is def not BL but read this user's name. Best to leave it.

Romance: 9.5/10
First 20 eps: 9/10
Overall: 8/10

Thank god it was just momentary annoyance.

Such a good concept for modern ages. It's like celebrities becoming youtubers for a short period of time :)

23 so it's not too bad.

And this is why naturally thin people feel super insecure. I have several friends even thinner than him that eat alot because people always comment on their body. Stop correlating size and health.

Unfortunately, no chemistry.

That misunderstanding she had at ep 22 was so frustrating (and unnecessary) to watch.
