Should work now.

In my opinion it comes down to this being a melodrama. Sad stories tend to be judged lower than happy ones. However, it was at the top for two months.

hi, if I don’t err, you could edit here. yCY movie ‘being towards death’ entry on MDL needs some attention. it does not show that it was released on May first 26, thus even those who have seen it can’t rate it. thanks so much.

let all of us know what drama themes you find not boring (for modern dramas only).

I recommend to watch ‘Born To Run’ (BTR). BTR is all about two mothers and two daughters and their problems with each other. It is a must see and got plenty of awards. Yang Chaoyue is playing a conflicted and oppressed daughter, very different character to her cheerful one in ‘Ideal City’.

its on IQIYI.

‘Being towards death’ has been released May first (2026) in China. In pre-screenings it received rave reviews. According to audience records, the movie, which treats terminal illness with comedy, strengthens the will to live. The movie dares one to face questions about life, death, and cancer. If you track down a screening outside China (none found in the US, there were a few in Australia and perhaps elsewhere), go watch it. I wish I could very much. The story, writing and acting is exceptional, but the subject is not persuasive enough to a broader audience, leaving the box office a little bit wanting. Hope that over time more people can enjoy this wonderful work.

you give too much away, press the spoiler button, will you!

Be prepared that this is a drama about being good hearted, naive, but having an unsurmountable prejudice against you. Even though it is a melodrama, it was #1 for 60 days in 2023. Thus, submerge into the tearful and at times difficult to watch abuse of an innocent girl beautifully played by Yang Chaoyue, the shortcomings of a slightly too correct old master, the suffering of a rejected man and irrationality of self rightious immortals.
the presentation is beautiful, the subject difficult, but difficult is good: difficult is art!

most people say the ending could have been a bit longer. but its not good to say more. watch the whole show, enjoy, and find out.

whenever something promises to become a great success, there are fringe people trying to sabbotage the project: just out of spite, of fear, their own idols may suffer, or because they lack success of their own doing.

Not the only one, I got confused as well, because YCY also worked with HMH before and there are some facial similarities.

The show itself is not part of this documentary.

Yes indeed! I once stopped the movie in the second life time to study the interior of the escape coach: so many items of every day needs, carefully reconstructing the historical life, arranged with so much insight, care, and love!
