Thank you for clarification. That's how I did it, because that was the only way my rating was recorded, but I started to question myself, because I didn't write any reviews.
Here are some more Chinese dramas to add to the list: Meeting you (2020), When we were Young(2018) A love so Beautiful (2017), The best of you in my mind (2020), Just an encore (2019), Salute my youth,/Wait my youth(2019) The big boss,(2017) Forever love (2020), I belonged to your world (2023) ... As is often, ratings for some of these dramas may be relatively low, but doesn't mean that these dramas are not of good quality. As we know, there are many subjective and extra-drama aspects that affect them. For example, The Big Boss, a drama so full of chaotic energy and humor!
Every time Tang Qi appears on the screen I start to smile. He is so funny! From his style, from his haircut to his glasses, to his clothes, to his expressions and micro-expressions, his fragility, reactions and feelings, everything makes me smile and laugh!
This has got to be my one of my favorite K-dramas. It left me wanting more though. Oh how I wish it was longer😭Its…
People who like Go Ahead are just giving their opinion, just like you are doing... And my opinion is as follows .Honestly, Go Ahead, drama original, is much deeper in the depiction of human relationships, which can be intense, confusing, silent, profound, inexplicable, merciful, fraternal, loving in its most varied expressions, which Family by Choice made much more superficial, in addition to the performance of the characters from children to adults being better in the C-drama. The resolution of the "competition betweenthe twoo"brothers" (as if it had existed or was very fierce and had destroyed the bonds between them or left someone distressed) - Kang Hae Jun imagining himself kissing Kang Hae Jun and rejecting that idea - is, let's say, a very superficial, reductionist and mechanical way of approaching human relationships and has nothing original or surprising about it, much less can we characterize it as a masterpiece solution.
In addition, from early comments, a lot of people didn't give the show a chance because they thought the ....
Thank you for the explanation. In fact, initial comments greatly affect views, causing many people to give up. That's why I always start by watching first few episodes and only then do I enter MDL, already having an initial opinion, so as not to be too influenced. And I also don't rate a drama right away, based on the first few episodes, I give it more time. Each person does as they see fit, but it's somewhat unfair that they rate and abandon it after 4-6 episodes.
Tencent kinda messed with the promos for this drama and I think it's been less known internationally/ many have…
Tencent acts as if they have no experience with similar dramas, which are usually popular ... They only care about investing in and promoting dramas with big budgets and popular actors. Something similar happened with WIFTY, but it seems that Youku understood and started promoting it better, and it ended up on Netflix, which is an indicator of its international popularity.
Why is the rating still 8.1? It's strange because comments are 90% very positive. And the funny thing is that on Douban Always Home is one of the best rated dramas among those currently showing.
Lovely Us, Always Home, Flourish in Time, Meeting You, When we were young, Skate in Love, The Day of Becoming You, You are my Glory, The romance of tiger and rose (historical)...
i hate the way tencent promoting this drama globally, it had the potential but they wasted
True! I can usually realize it following the release on YouTube and people are reacting really, really well - it reminds me of When I Fly Towards You, which started with a low number of views on the eps premieres and the latest ones had thousands.
And if there was a deep feeling from He Zi Qiu for Li Jian Jian, which I don't think is the case, what was the…
But they know they are not blood sibilings, because they started living together as a family when they were already school age, and one of them continues to live in his own house with his father. The fact that they treat each other as sibilings marks this deep fraternal relationship and I do not consider it at all abnormal, nor do I see the change as perverse. In fact, we accept much more complex and perverse relationships in dramas and anime and keep quiet. I continue to affirm: this issue and this strangeness only started to be raised strongly after "Family by Choice" premiered and it seems like a justification for making the remake better than the original, when the "solution" they found was quite basic.
Isn't this similar to the Korean drama "Perfume"...?
These themes have already been covered in many films and series and if we were to check, we would find dozens of similar ones from different countries. It would be good if we looked further and saw series/films from different countries, or read traditional tales from many countries, or novels from universal literature, to realize that the themes, the types of heroes and many plots are repeated in thousands of variations. And the plots in which a magical object is used for the most varied purposes are already thousands of years old!
The First Frost continues to rise in popularity, with 50M views across both Kuyun and Yunhe, alongside a 200%…
I hope that the success of "The first frost" - 32 episodes, 45 minutes each - will be proof to Youku that, if the drama is good, no matter the number of episodes, people will watch it.
but they somehow always nail it, i personally enjoy these youth cdramas
I am not questioning the existence of censorship in China. We all know that it exists, Chinese government itself makes public the rules for entertainment - they do not hide the censorship! If there were no such extreme censorship in China, Chinese entertainment would dominate and be much better known. But your post was not about that, it was about the propaganda of the Chinese government and how C-dramas are used for this (and I think they are used as much as K-dramas or J-dramas). BUT ALL governments use entertainment for propaganda, not just the Chinese. The Americans have been doing it for many decades: American heroes are always the best and the winners, Asians and Africans and Eastern Europeans are always the villains; the omnipresence of the American flag; political insinuations; caricatures and stereotypes of peoples... But since they are Americans, we are blinded, because we have already been brainwashed! Koreans and Japanese also use their productions to project a positive and superior image... And, honestly, I stopped believing in absolute creative freedom a long time ago. There is always a little pressure from those in power.So, directly or indirectly, everyone resorts to propaganda. And we must be attentive and critical and never forget reality. Thank you!

"Meet Yourself" is like many films and series made here in the West or Kdramas. If we do a search we will find dozens of them, made in specific places with great tourist potential. But, of course, the Chinese are very suspicious... And don't take it the wrong way, but cdramas are not so well known in the world that the Chinese government has ordered the production of one, encouraging people to visit China... If it's China, everything is propaganda and everything is devalued, no matter how good it is... Koreans, Americans and Japanese are saints and don't do any kind of propaganda in their dramas/series and movies! We're all blind or we only see what suits us! For example, the Korean government was the main promoter of Korean entertainment at the end of the last century and beginning of this one, with the aim of improving the country's image... All countries use entertainment as a form of soft power. And, therefore, we must look at everything with eyes to see, without prejudice and always critical!
As someone who has not read the novel, that final scene brought me deep feelings of gentle sadness and paradoxical beauty and hope. inexplicable and striking.
As someone who watched both versions, I can see why K-dramas are mainstream. They removed every questionable plot…
The resolution of the "questionable plot point from this drama" by transforming the Korean version into "a better experience" (Kang Hae Jun imagining himself kissing Kang Hae Jun and rejecting that idea), is, let's say, a very superficial, reductionist and mechanical way of approaching human relationships and has nothing original or surprising about it, much less can we characterize it as a masterpiece solution.
