Yes. Her sis is a nice girl.

Hi, thank you for the recommendation of kdramas. Those two are on my watchlist too! Joy of Life is a male centric drama, so I would recommend you drop it if it's not your taste. It's long and slow paced comparing to kdramas. And the political intrigues and humor are hidden behind the dialogues, so I would not recommend it to cdrama beginners.

Since you just moved from kdrama to cdrama, I would recommend you to start from fast paced cdramas first, like Story of Kunning Palace, The Double, New Life Begins, The Blood of Youth, My Journey to You. Their episodes are within 40 episodes. Most dramas before 2020 are around 50-70 eps.

You're welcome! Have fun! 😊

Here's my recommedation list for your consideration:

Political Intrigues:
1. Nirvana in Fire (S1 & S2)
2. The Advisor Alliance (S1 & S2) - this one maybe too serious for cdrama beginners.

Palace Intrigues:
1. Story of Yanxi Palace.

Costume Romance / Female Growth (Female Centric):
1. Story of Kunning Palace
2. Love Like the Galaxy
3. The Double
4. New Life Begins
5. Lost You Forever

Xianxia (Fantasy):
1. Ashes of Love
2. Till the end of the Moon
3. Legend of Shen Li

Wuxia (Martial Arts):
1. The Blood of Youth
2. My Journey to You
3. Who rules the world
4. Sword Snow Stride
5. Ever Night (S1)

The best costume comedy romance drama - ' The Romance of Tiger and Rose'.

And recommend another modern time loop suspense drama if you are interested, called ‘Reset'.

Hi, welcome to Cdramaland! Actually the old cdramas often have sad endings, but the new cdramas from 2017 mostly have happy endings. Because they are adapted from novels, the popular novels always have happy endings and epilogues. The recent trending is cdramas prefer to film the epilogues to satisfy watchers.

The novel doesn't explain this detail. But I guess since JXN already pretended to be her sister and involved in the relationship with prince Shen Jie. He probably asked his brother to give her a seat in the class. It's easy for him.

Haha, same same. I have rewatched it about 5 times so far 😂

Yes.

I don’t know how iQIYI counts it, looks like a combination of heat index and viewers . It’s top ranking on costume drama recommendation list.

Only his competitive actors' fandoms critized him, He's loved by so many watchers and went popular fastly in china. SOKP is the most popular drama last year Based on various datas and feedbacks. The total number of popularity is still ranking first on IQiYi so far.

Well, I have to say Xie Wei is still the best ML among the similar type MLs, so far in Cdramas land. Zhang Ling He's acting is top-notch!

Yes, I saw those comments, most are threatening his agency to decline the drama, otherwise they would leave him. Some fake fans are mixed in it to create an appearance that ZLH is losing fans, to belittle him and make other fandoms look better in comparison. You know some people belong to many fandoms. They can give up him easily and promote other actors. These are the toxic fans you mentioned I guess.

I guess those are not his fans, most of his fans are still fighting for him on weibo to boycott this drama and put pressure on his agency. I'm not sure where you saw this info, because some weibo accounts are crazy at making up news to attract eyes. Just be careful of those accounts when you searching info. The best way is to check on ZLH supertalk community, his real fans are all there. The community has managers to kick out misleading info.

Thanks! 🥰

Welcome! 😊

It's 32 eps because the novel is not long enough to adapt into 40eps (and a lot of plots in the novel are too crazy to pass the censorship). Although they can fill watery plots to extend it, but they don't want, due to their work attitude. The production company and crew are really making a drama, instead of making money like some other dramas. (It doesn't mean all the 40eps dramas are draggy, some novels are long enough or longer, so they can adapt into 40eps.)

Most costume cdramas were longer than 40eps before the new rule (40eps limitation) carried out to prevent draggy dramas and washing money in the costume drama industry.

10.14 Excited! 🤩

That's fantastic! A fanguide will help a lot for international fans to learn more about ZLH! It's really nice of you for doing that. 😊❤

Yes, although the director has his preference with the second couple, but it's all agreed by other stakeholders. Btw, the SML is signed with iQiYi.

Some of them are trying to threaten his agency, because the fans data support on social medias are important. Most of his fans still follow him.
