Have you watched Meeting You? It's Fiction Guo's last year drama.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I agree with you. That's why Zheng Han attitude being directly serious (you will see the first they get together, first IOU agreement for laptop, second IOU agreement for rented house) is quite new info for me having watched tons of Chinese romance/romcom dramas. This drama is the first time I see an ML being straigthforward that I have to search about the dating/love situation in China, lol.

I agree with you. Wang An Yu is in the just finished drama Go Go Squid 2: Dt Appledog, but most likely I want to see him in Chasing the Light. For Xiang Han Zhi, though she may be gone to acting college first (she is only 18), but I want to see her upcoming drama Our Times with Leo Wu and Neo Hu.

Yunnan is a beautiful province in China with gorgeous scenery. Xishuangbanna is the shooting location of one of my favorite Cdrama Let Me Understand Your Language. Just for the freaking stunning location only, I will check this drama out when it's fully subbed! Hopefully the story doesn't disappoint. Thanks for sharing!

I have a tip how to like Xianxia dramas, cos it's a hit-and-miss. Unlike wuxia, you'll admire the martial arts action cos China has great real martial arts directors that make the fighting scenes superb. But xianxia heavily relies on visual effect techniques due to the supernatural theme. If the production team doesn't do it right, doesn't matter the story or acting is good, the rating will be pulled down by bad CGI etc. If you want to like xianxia, you have to like the story, cast, or everything else. Then if the great visual effect also support the story, the drama will easily be a 10 rating ;D

Yeah, that part is SO funny! And the rest of her family thought that he was going to propose marriage. That was the scene where the Mom was creeped out, lol! No, I think it's not to get FL into the same college as him. Her grade didn't make it that high, so Mom wants to send her abroad. He wants her to stay in China and in the same city where he goes to college. Gosh, I wished I knew before I started that drama I would have prepared to write a recap article about it, lol. But it took me off guard. Everything in that drama is so good. Her helping him to overcome his social anxiety disorder, romance, chemistry, friendship between the four, her family (especially little brother), second couple (usually I don't like second couples), the filming location in beautiful Guilin, and their family being supportive with their relationship.

I love Meeting You! The FL is so likable, can't believe the actress was able to memorize thousands of lines, her character being a chatterbox. But do you think it's a bit unhealthy, he's kinda possessive though. That's my only complain about that drama. I think she being his only 'life line', lol. He rented her a house to be 'her home'. I can understand her mom's getting creeped out, lol. If I'm the mom I will feel the same thing. Being only college students but he's already sure he will spend his life with her. I love her mom though!

Yeah I think this is a 'complete' romantic drama, from high school to being entrepreneurs. It's very satisfying like watching some people's life journey. Not many dramas like this, usually from high school to college, or high school time jump to working life, college to working life. I will comment about Meeting You in a spoiler cos probably not many people have watched it either.

The story doesn't start with him being popular, it's the opposite he's considered delinquent for some reason you'll watch it. He becomes popular later, you'll also watch why. This is the opposite of stereotypes in romantic dramas. The stereotype is the MLs are the superiors (rich, leader, smart, handsome, etc) and the FLs are the inferiors (poor, newbie, dumb, average look, etc)
I don't watch Itazura na Kiss and its franchise for that reason
I haven't watch Accidentally in Love yet, it has been in my PTW for sometime though I watched the actor's last year's drama.

without realizing you'll keep binge and finish it in no time ;D

Me too, tried watching currently airing dramas in the past but the waiting for next episodes was a torture ;D

You won't be able to stop, it's great for binge-watching ;D

To be honest I cannot tell you about The King's Avatar. When I wrote this article, people recommended me TKA. Also, when I wrote another article on Friendship. I have tried watched TKA twice, after those recommendations. But I dropped it twice, too. Though I watch CF and love it forever, I still can't make gaming dramas my favorite. Like now I will proceed carefully with Dt Appledog, another gaming drama coming this year. Prior to CF, I haven't watch Leo Wu neither Lu Han before. But they delivered their characters so well. I fell for Lu Han's character at the first episode while he's biking down the road, lol. And Leo Wu nailed it as someone on a wheelchair! All friendship along this drama actually is to die for. The inside gaming scenes are also very hilarious. You won't disappointed ;D

I appreciate your first comment ever on a post, that tells me that you love this drama very much <3. Since my article actually is not a review, I can say your 4 points are 4 reasons why people should watch this drama ;D

Thanks for your recommendation! Some are already in my PTW, will check out the others.

Honestly this is not a review, since I only wrote about one aspect. But I think this is the main feature, it's enough to make you go thru the whole drama ;D

Third wheeling... yeah you're right!!! I usually have a conscience that I'm watching a drama so I don't invest much feeling. But I felt like I was there. Like Duan Ning when they were receiving the competition award (the first GIF clip)... awkward, lol!

You're welcome... you'll love it.

Yeah, I think I have the Chinese Boss and Me in my PTW.
