Seems like we have different tastes I found Hidden love boring and you rated it 9.5
It's all opinions I am watching Cdramas since 2019 and I like the newer ones more than the "classic" Cdramas in terms of Ancient because I don't like prolonged love triangle where fl actually likes second ml back I dislike harems and I don't like tacky styling as an editor. I will drop a drama if the styling is bad. The only exceptions are Legend of Condor Heroes, Prince Of Lanling, Chinese Paladin.
What does ancient drama have to do with this? post production is longer in ancient dramas than moderns but this…
Not all ancient dramas are historical. Historical are grounded to reality, frictional historical while there are other genres which stuffs are based on mythology and ancient fantasy. Also I agree with your point there has not been that good modern dramas after 2023.
