I have two actresses Zhao Li Ying and Zhao Lu Si where I have dropped multiple shows after trying them

Both of them used to be my favorites. Zhao Li Ying used to be so pretty with that big clear eyes and Zhao Lu Si used to be so cute and funny; nowadays they've changed and lost their charms imo.

For me, it's... well there's too many to mention, may sound like a hater mentioning too many names hahaha (still, I never not try to watch).

 amdream_weaver:

The subtitles are so whacked they made me laugh!

Ah~ unfortunately, I already deleted the one I watched from my watch later list so I'm not sure which one I watched. You could open Feng Jun's mdl drama page and look up for Jwells name, he/she usually shared a lot of links for micro dramas, you can look for the better one ('coz it's never perfect). 

 amdream_weaver:

Girl drop those names LOL ! 

Hahaha

There's definitely one person whose drama I could never finish: Ju Jing Yi. I try but I can't. But at least I dropped In Blossom at episode 20+, for other dramas it usually less than 10 episode. The one with Song Wei Long doesn't go past 15 minutes. I find her stiff and has one or two expressions only but maybe it's just me.

And maybe Song Zu Er. I only try one of her drama though: The Demon Hunter's Romance. She's very pretty but in a way that I find distracting. I keep looking at her mouth shape and her eyes. Ren Jia Lun's existence doesn't help at all.

As for others, it usually depends on the plot and the MLs. But if it's movies, anyone will do as it's only up to 4 hours time. I also avoid Angelababy, Zhang Yu Xi (even when the drama has Cheng Yi, I still dropped it back then), and Meng Zi Yi. SFL position is okay.

These two actresses for example are both talented and beautiful, but I cannot connect with their acting, it doesn't somehow feel real,  and so I can't get into their dramas.

I feel you. Song Zu Er is the top talent and she's pretty but I keep getting distracted by her looks. I can't get into the plot.

 GS:

finished Legend Of Zang Hai....Im glad it is HE

Also just completed it.

 HotGeGesWife:

Is there romance in it? 

Romance is subplot. But FL is flirting and playing with ML since their first meeting as adults. 😅

I finished Legend of Zang Hai yesterday. The plot is engaging until the end. Although I feel that the last episode was a bit rushed, I would say the ending is satisfying, as it wrapped up the different parts and showed clearly what happened to the characters.

Xiao Zhan, Zhang Jing Yi, Zhou Qi and Liang Chao gave justice to their characters, and the rest of the cast did quite well too. I like the OST, especially the opening and ending theme songs.

Overall, this is a great watch for me! 👍

 GS:

The SML...this actor is pretty-good looking...not sure if there will be some loveline between him and Amber. 

I love this drama!! The main couple are such a green flag honestly. Yes some hiccups, but overall, once he sees her sincerity towards the family he supports her in everything, even going against his mother. 

As for the general and DongQing - I love their comic moments......except her bangs (whatever that pony tail on her forehead is) distracted me to the point of craziness!

It is such an underrated gem.

I just completed the first episode of Nadech Kugimiya and Bie's Captive Heart. So far it looks like my type of drama.

Long story short, ML is a magician and a law enforcer. By chance, he saves FL twice but also accidentally spend one night out with her doing nothing. Since ML needs to stay cellibate to do magic, a lot of people use beauty trap on him. Including FL's brother who receive command from the minister of customs and excise in exchange of a promotion. Initially runaway from the forced marriage but losing the only person she could rely on, FL eventually has to marry ML for her and her slaves' safety.

Also now excitedly waiting for Flourished Peony sequel: In The Name of Blossom/Jin Xiu Fang Hua which rumored to be released late June-early July.

As for The Journey of the Legend, Legend of the Magnate, and Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Sword and Beloved, there's no chance it'll air on June since iQIYI is going to air another Liu Yu Ning's drama: A Dream Within A Dream on 26 June. Is that his third drama this year? Awesome.

I hope Sword and Beloved will air after ADWAD but I also hope it doesn't air together with In The Name of Blossom, The Immortal Ascension, and The Legend of the Female General after looking at my notes it's should be Moonlit Reunion -which could all be released on July- because I'm going to get heartache from choosing only two titles.
