But regardless of what's going on, it obviously hasn't stopped the production/release of time-travel dramas from China. There's been quite a lot of them in the past few years.
And I don't see this one (Braveness of the Ming) having the time-travel aspect cut, as LeTV has already done a few time-travels. You can click the Network (in the Details box) to see a list of their titles. :)
What an important topic to explore. You did such an amazing job at educating me here. Question, what do you do…
Thanks for sharing that. :) It brought up some old memories that I can definitely relate to.
What happened to your little brother is very similar to what happened to me when I was very young... maybe 10 years old (or younger? - I don't remember exactly, as this was over 30 years ago).
A boy at my school was bullying me, and it had gotten to the point where he was getting physical. I wasn't being "beat up", but he had started shoving me around. I remember going to my dad, crying, and telling him what happened. He told me the same thing your your Mom told your little brother... "Don't cry". And then he showed me how to make a "proper" fist (so I wouldn't break my thumb), and told me to punch that boy in the nose the next time he bullied me.
In retrospect, I do think the boy's parents should have been told, so they could have at least been made aware of what their son was doing. But... a punch to the nose worked like magic and he never bothered me again. I think most people never consider small children/kids when the subject of self-defense comes up, but it's definitely something that's good to learn at *any* age.
Years later, when I was a teenager, me and a friend of mine took some self-defense classes... basic moves, vulnerable spots and pressure points, how to use your keys as a weapon, just being aware of your surroundings (and other people), etc. It's a confidence booster, knowing that if you're ever attacked, you at least have that knowledge and a fighting chance. :)
Any new news about this drama coming to Netflix, DramaFever, or Viki....Someone had mentioned it coming to Netflix…
I'm wondering the same. After seeing the ratings/reviews, I was so excited to watch this... and then massively disappointed when I found out that neither Viki nor DramaFever had it (nor any other channel on Roku). :(
I'm honestly a bit shocked that DramaFever doesn't have it. They seem to snap up the vast majority of extremely popular dramas...
When you think of some more, you can post the links there. :) And I think secondary couples would be just fine.
I still can't think of a single modern-day drama with that type of age-gap, though it might be more common/prevalent in Historicals, where it was more the norm for young girls to be married off to older men.
Anyway, hopefully others will see the list and make some recommendations. :)
I don't have a list for that, as it's much more common.
Ah, you mean much larger age gaps... like maybe 10 years (or more)? I could create a new list if you wouldn't mind starting me off with a few titles (I can't think of any off the top of my head). But I'd need to specify "X" amount of years or older in the description, otherwise people would be posting recommendations for a gabillion titles. LOL!! :P
These two links have some interesting/informative info:
