Article My Likes and Dislikes in Chinese Dramas
I am not a fan of love triangles in general. They are generally poorly written for the sole purpose of making you angry or sad. Often time not even necessary for the plot. Very few exceptions. When it comes to Chinese dramas I love me a good historical with a strong female lead. My fav trope in China. Like Empress of China and Singing All Along. So good. Nirvana is great too. To much over acting in a lot of modern dramas (just forget about the non romantic ones, too political too over acting) Though there are definitely some modern gems, but I like the constraints of historical and watching characters navigate though the constraints of history. China does this better than all the countries I've seen. Including Korea, Japan, India, Thai, and the UK imo.
