Seems like cdrama viewers have a problem with female leads that are not cookie-cutter. Princess Lin An is not the usual type of perfect sensible female lead that does nothing wrong. Like the much-misunderstood FL in Only For Love, Princess Lin An is a unique character with flaws. And I prefer her that way. Her flaws give her depth and make me anticipate a growth arc.

It's Dylan Wang's gift to the world. His great looks plus great personality and sense of humor. He is a happy pill 😊

I also like the FL. She is quirky, like the FL in Only For Love. Turns out, I like quirky female leads 😄

Yup, that's most probably one of the reasons Didi is being bullied. His bullies want him to kowtow to powerful bosses, to be part of some ring. It seems another reason he is being bullied is because his competitors have paid bullies to blacken him.

This is one misunderstanding that I'm not minding at all, as it also provides suspense in understanding Xu Qian's character. Is he an opportunist? A sycophant? Or simply a man in love?

I think so too. I don't like misunderstandings but I'm impressed at how the trope is being used to add an element of intrigue not only in their relationship but also in understanding Xu Qian's character better

The mistaken identity begs the question: Does Xu Qi An like the FL because he thinks she's the Grand Princess or does he like her for herself? I didn't expect this misunderstanding in their story but it gives their story an edge, making it intriguing

In Eternal Love (Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms), the most watched cdrama of all time with over 50 billion views as of Aug 2017, the ML and FL first meet in ep 10. It's one of my most favorite cdramas ever 😊

I wonder if the FL is as covertly smart as the FL in Unchained Love, pretending to be flaky and silly so as not to ruffle royal feathers with her superior intelligence

the uncle sold him out 😂 the negotiation between the uncle and supervisor for his pay is hilarious 😂 Xu Qian's situation at home is a combination of sweet, funny and disturbing, showing how parents/elders casually, and most probably unknowingly, enslave and abuse youngsters under their wings

Yup, if you notice, a lot of Dylan's dramas have low ratings. His haters are deplorable. This is why online ratings are not reliable.

Even before the drama aired, several netizens have already been throwing dirt at it because they love bullying Dylan. He does not come from money, has no powerful backers and has no big publicity machine thus bullies think he is an easy target. They don't like that he is self-made, trying to change his stars through talent, hard work and determination. One of the netizens who was recruited to blacken him warned him that people are trying to bring him down.

So, don't believe negative comments about this drama. As what they did with Only For Love, Dylan's bullies will throw dirt at Guardians of the Dafeng to bring him down. Incidentally, the rich brat Zhou Li who tried to kill Xu Qian in GOTD episode 3 reminded me of Dylan's bullies.

Thanks! Great to see you too :)

Another thing, it has always been pointed out that this is male centric, meaning it revolves around Xu Qian. Don't criticize a drama for not catering to your preference.

It’s surprising that there are those who find the negativity about this drama unexpected. Long before this drama aired, several netizens have already threatened to blacken it simply because they love bullying Dylan. Why? Because he comes from a humble background, with neither rich and powerful backers nor a big publicity machine. They can’t abide a self-made man, one who is trying to change his stars with hard work, talent and determination. In fact, Didi is in a similar situation as Xu Qian, being bullied because he is poor and powerless.

It’s also surprising that there are those who are surprised this is comedy, with a helping of slapstick. The trailers were clear about it. And every description about it pointed out it is comedy. If you can’t abide comedy, better drop it. As for me, I hate nonsensical slapstick comedy but enjoy slapstick comedy depicting ludicrous situations like in Pink Panther and Airplane movies, the type I’m seeing in GOTD, so I’m having a blast right now.

Thus, ignore all negative comments about the drama and just enjoy it 😀

I cried in that scene where Sunja was laboring over the black-market rice wine in the midst of bombings, due to the haunting music that seemed to make excuses for Sunja's crime, committed so her children would not eat wormy rice. It was the same feeling I had when Sunja's mom was cooking the white rice for their wedding, to the tune of a poignant melody. The beauty of simple scenes elevated to art through the cinematography, bottled intense emotions and music sometimes overpowers us without us realizing it until the tears fall.

yup, I don't understand adoptive parents who hide the truth from their adopted children. Things like this can't be covered up forever. Covering it up just makes the child feel there is something wrong that needs to be hidden.

Congratulations to the cast and crew of Three-Body. The drama won the Best TV Drama award at the China TV Golden Eagle Awards 2024. Yang Lei won Best TV Drama Director.

that's what haters do. keep throwing dirt at dramas, usually because they star competitors of their idols. i doubt they even watch the dramas.

Probably. Or maybe throw him away. The irony is that being thrown into the truck saved him.
