Sorry for the typo 😳 I meant to say “release”. WCR is The Queen of fireworks-named dramas (a title I gave her myself, lol). She has an unreleased romcom drama called “Love Has Fireworks” (with
Tan Jian Ci) but it’s not related to “Fireworks of My Heart” (with Yang Yang). The romcom Fireworks drama has been delayed because one of the secondary actors got into trouble but supposedly it’s all good now so Tencent just needs to choose a date. But next WCR drama release will probably be “Hidden Shadow” per rumors 🍉

Sorry for not making myself clear. I was trying to say that FH should have a much a lower rating. 8.7 is way too high for a drama that had great first 15 episodes and 20+ mediocre ones. People in the comments generally agreed that it went downhill, so that’s why I’m surprised it maintained its high rating 🤷‍♂️

Ah, some people complained about 2ML being featured too much in TPR? I forget that because I really liked the drama. Our Generation was probably a wrong script for a popular actor — he was absent for episodes at a time (and, frankly, despite best efforts by director & crew, there was only so much they could do with that script).

What were the two dramas: Our Generation and …? Becaue The Best Thing and The Princess Royal were well received, I thought.

It was hilarious that ML was made out to have, ahem, male reproductive issues just to explain why he wouldn’t sleep with her 🫣😁

WCR was great in How Dare You (surprisingly emotional drama) so can’t wait until Hidden Shadow (very soon, supposedly). And one day we will see release of Love Has Fireworks (I guess they waited long enough and one of the actors was finally cleared of all charges and doesn’t have to be replaced using AI 🤖)

This drama is very good so far. Bur if you are looking for some great recent dramas check out How Dare You (live action 2026 version), When Destiny Brings the Demon (censors fell asleep by allowing so many, ahem, romantic scenes), or even Love in the Clouds.

And, for a modern romance, check out early 2025 dramas The First Frost and The Best Thing (if you haven’t seen them yet). ML in TBT is the ML here.

Ahhh… okay… HDY is actually very good. It starts off more funny but becomes very emotional as we grow to like characters and witness their sometimes tragic fates (but it’s not super depressing drama either). The end was about as good as the censorship rules allow. Censors made them cut at least one scene that explains some more things that happened in book world before they returned to real world, but that scene’s descriptions/dialogue are online.

I always wait until a drama is finished to give it a rating. But as of now it’d be 10/10 for me. Let’s hope the writers for remaining episodes are the same and they didn’t outsource writing to random people off the street 🙏

It’s pretty great so far! Apparently it crashed Tencent’s service on release even though it’s airing on iQIYI and Netflix at the same time.

I think it was just a general statement about him rejecting very well qualified noble women.

I agree with your point and TXW is certainly great in this role.

Would like to add that Are You the One also featured a female lead who was feminine but was highly skilled in everything from household chores to business to fighting.

But I don’t know which novel came out first so maybe the trend started with Zhu Yu :)

We are getting spoiled by having How Dare You!? and this drama back to back. I love it so far and hope the writers continue to do good job with the remaking episodes 🙏

People are hyped!

To be clear, I was talking about HDY drama (1 season) not donghua (2 seasons… so far?). I only watched a bit of donghua before deciding to wait for live action drama to avoid spoilers. Drama version is great 👍🏻

Thanks! So black is even worse than red ✍️

How Dare You!? may have handled it the best — the emperor threatened to kill ministers (and killed some of them for real).

I watch on Netflix but ep. 11 subtitles were a bit weird during the go playing scene. They translated words as “we played” so I naturally assumed the guy recognized the girl, but it turned out that he had no idea it was her. But other than that it’s been okay.

What the heck is a black flag 🏴‍☠️?
I’ve read some netizens called him red flag in the novel but others disagreed because there really was only one incident in the novel.

Ning Ning & The Falcon are so adorable ☺️

Usually at the end they wait for 2-3 days to get us to pay for SVIP/TVOD/Express package 🙄
