Unless you live in the U.S., which in most cases, Youku app doesn't work. Apple had to refund my annual subscription as it continually crashed upon loading and Youku won't let you sign into their online website via your Mac with your login. I hope one day they fix this issue as it has been a problem for a long time.

That's surprising. I've watched Arthdahl S2, as well as Moon Lovers, The Scholar That Walks The Night, IlJamae. He's great in everything; however, everyone has their own opinion.

He might be referring to the Director mentioned above, rather that the great actor, LJG. He mentions M. Night Shyamalan, an American filmmaker/Director who has made some films where people question his talent. LJG is truly a great actor and I always look forward to his works.

Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

On Marcus Here 3 months ago, ZZH himself spoke about filming at Hengdian and showed clips of himself in costume period attire but nothing since. No one knows if it's really going to happen; however, here's the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHrMR7wvKPE

Still laughing. Funniest comment award!

So cute in My Dear Brothers - should be offered higher profile gigs.

I'm not that far in yet as I have so many I'm watching at the same time but it is tagged Romance, Wuxia, Drama & Fantasy so I believe it does have romance.

Really good for a short series.

I am struggling to finish this one. I originally thought it would be the best of the bunch; however, now, having watched to episode 27 with Cheng Yi kind of fading into the background, I think the middle story was the best. It's unfortunate that, will all of the deaths and sadness in the first two, that they didn't make the third installment a little more redeeming in the story line.

Great comments here - must be off to a good start.

I especially notice the change in K-Dramas. I enjoyed My Dearest and Knight Flower; however, some pretty fluffy stuff has been produced since. Episodes are getting shorter as well, which is alright if they tighten the script. I just hope what happened in the U.S., where we went from 30 episode dramas to 8-10 episodes doesn't happen here.

Still laughing. He has to show off those muscles he works so hard to maintain. 🤣😭😂

Deng Yi showing his psycho colors. Last episode DY says he doesn't care who is emperor as long as he can maintain his wealth and status. Next episode, he's back currying favor again with XX, who he betrayed and is now trying to replace the current Emperor.

Bummer. Those ads are so annoying as there are so many.

That was one fast paced episode. It was like watching it on 3X speed, lol.

We are so lucky, I thought we were going to have to wait awhile for this one.

Oh look, it's Tom, no, I mean Jenn. Which one are you today? Jenn didn't work as people called you out when you tried to change your handle. Snarky as usual when everyone else is just having a normal conversation.

You are right to ask this question. In the U.S., we went from 30 episode tv series, to 20 episode, to 12 episodes and now the good ones are 8-10 episodes. You can wait a year to a year and a half before the next season starts. I hope this isn't going to be the end result with C-dramas. Here's what's happening with C-dramas per online info: Historically, investors and platforms were paid by the episode, creating a financial incentive to artificially extend a show's run time. Now, major platforms are shifting toward revenue-sharing models (where profitability is based on actual viewership, engagement, and retention rather than episode count). As a result, bloated, filler-heavy shows no longer make business sense. Also, with The Explosive Rise of Micro-Dramas, Traditional 40-minute, 40-episode dramas are facing intense competition from mini-dramas. With shorter attention spans and busy daily schedules, audiences increasingly prefer snappy, instant-gratification storytelling, forcing mainstream platforms (like iQIYI and Youku) to adapt and compress their longer formats to remain competitive. Because some stories (especially complex fantasy or historical epics) are better suited for longer formats, writers and editors sometimes struggle to squeeze large source novels into a 40-episode limit, resulting in messy or suddenly truncated conclusions. Long Cdramas (40-min) are losing viewership,
