Humour and pretty? And a good story? That sounds like The Untamed!! But that will maybe get you into a far worst show hole afterwards, hmm. ;)
But honestly, I don't think it's you, it's the shows you're currently watching. None of them sounds like what you're looking for... So either endure, or better start something else!
Besides The Untamed, other shows with your description I'd recommend is Rebel: Thief who stole the people (thought there are some depressing things, but plenty of humour, great characters & engaging story that's pretty simple to follow up), Love in the Moonlight (light-hearted gender-bender romance), and the currently airing Joy of Life (unexpectedly laugh-out-loud funny transmigration drama).
Sorry for only recommending historical dramas, but "pretty" (costumes, cinematography, people, architecture, scenery) = historical/costume dramas to me!! :)
On my "Best Historical Dramas" list, it says that Splash Splash Love has "38 voters", but at the top of the page…
I noticed that too! I was just voting on your lists btw. I think there's a glitch and every time someone votes on the list, the list gets reset and only counts the last voter's and the op's votes!
Great list you got there as well. There's a couple of shows we don't have that you guys have :( Ghosh, making…
Thanks! Some day in the (far) future, I may add the netflix link to each show.

Thanks!! You may want to make 2 separate lists for movies and dramas, otherwise it's probably too chaotic! This is my similar list for Netflix-Europe (still not complete): https://kisskh.at/list/l4jMoPR3
Chef Fang (Hua Jian Ti Hu Fang Da Chu), and HIStory 2: Right or Wrong are two of the fluffiest, more anxiety free dramas I've seen and enjoyed! ^_^ . . . On another note, how did Something in the Rain end up on this list? Unless you only count the first two episodes, the majority of this drama is heavily depressing, and definitely too angsty to watch after a breakup imo!
The version of the article that exists online today is actually the 3rd (or 4th I'm not sure) version of it, I don't remember the 1st version, but I remember it was worded differently (from the snippets I saw on twitter e.g.), and the meaning wasn't that clear, and that's why I believe people misunderstood and were bashing it.
Generally speaking, the public usually have no idea how much pressure online journalists and writers are today, especially if writing for well-known online media, and/or about something extremely popular, to be exact in their meaning and 100% "politically correct". Something that may just be a neglect, people will judge it harshly instead of focusing on the positive side, and they will not hesitate to call something homophobic or misogynistic simply because it didn't loudly and clearly condemn such ideas - even if doing so would have totally derailed and lost the focus on the topic of the said piece of writing.
So let us all focus on the positive side, which in this case is that more and more people are discovering The Untamed everyday, and our little party here is growing!! :D
Are you talking about the holes on Jin Zixun's body? :D
I get where you're coming from, but personally I love the creepiness in it, although toned down from the novel!! :D I'm one of these odd people that fell in love with The Untamed from the very first minute (without knowing anything about it), exactly BECAUSE of the (admittedly cheap) campy "horror" feels & the creepiness!! :D
Well, many people bashed it for borderline implying that Chinese censorship made the drama better, instead of properly condemning it. And they made 2-3 different edits of the article after it went online, the first version of it was barely researched & it confused The Untamed with Guardian for example.. Personally, I don't really mind these things, I'm genuinely happy that American media have discovered and started recommending The Untamed, that's more than enough for me!! :)

I've never watched a Filipino drama & I'd like to expand my horizons! Is this drama a good place to start?
and here's Wuji, all 3 instrumental versions of it: https://youtu.be/TIthSDrGnJk

But keep sending request for the other movie (Fatal Journey) if you like!
