That's a great attitude! I generally don't mind sad ending too as long as they are well done, but I know lot of people that get upset at them.

Hope you enjoy the remaining bits of the drama, and feel free to stop after 63 if you don't want to see the horrific butchered last arc lol.

there's multiple parities of cnetizens and the background is chinese society in general is still fairly misognystic, both overtly and subtly, and there's been fight back lately. With feminism booming, there's people using it to cash out, there's people smearing it, there's people that's more sensitive will speak up and then there's people that will cry feminazi at every turn.

I personally think that what he said was mostly benign but just dumb thing to say, just like I think it's dumb to jump out and go "not all men" because someone talk about feeling harrassed. You also have to note that this novel is about matrilocal husband who end up starting a harem, it's not just a regular male fantasy, some people see it as using his wife's family and resources to build said fantasy, it makes it extra icky. There's people that further extrapolate it to men in real life targeting only daughters for her inheritance (this is a thing, it doesn't happen super often, but it's a thing)

The fact the drama made it much more feminist can't hide the harem core and blatant male fantasy to some people. (Male fantasy is all well and fine, but female fantasy gets criticised for being mary sue over and over again so some people are indignant about the different treatments.) There are a lot of little things like that that makes reaction more understandable and it's only the vocal subset of weibo and douban, so the more vocal bit of c-ent (which is generally mostly young women). It doesn't really stop the drama from becoming popular since it's decent, it mostly just suppress online discussion and promotion focus is shift onto douyin.

GGS is a romance spinoff of gun's so it's related, and timeline wise it interwines with fish playing while in secret room, but it starts later than fish and finish earlier than fish.

ohhh i hope she enjoys it too then hahaha. when it's busy it's definitely easier to watch light dramas that doesn't need you to pay too much attention.

hahaha rip, it was bit hard getting used to it in the beginning, I think the episodes later got better to be honest? Maybe because I find it easier to relate later (they start planting mushrooms and some people goes to work in Fujian). I think you haven't seen the Fujian characters yet? (think they appear in ep 7 or 8) Their accents are great and absolutely hilarious, and much closer to what I'm used to hearing too. Watch one ep at a time maybe? Even if you don't finish it, you gave it good try!

I just saw the synopsis, the 1966 makes it kind of confusing since the drama is set in late 90s lol. It's even later than both Like a Flowing River.

In similar vein to this drama and soooort of your article, I remembered https://kisskh.at/30365-perfect-youth I didn't watch it because it looked like suffering, but it was rated pretty well on douban so I remembered it.

Wu Liao-like robot are used in banks and i think in some museums in china to help with general inquiries, I've seen some funny clips of them, not sure if it's programmed speech or if someone is answering more difficult inquires behind the robot (I've seen both explanations).

demo wasn't overly important in the novel iirc, while 97 is, I remember more about inin than demo, and GGS didn't have inin. demo's actor might have other engagement and didn't care to reprise his role here?

ahahah I like him as Ying Si! Ying Si is super cool, could definitely have used him as Ying Zheng, or Qin Empire 3/s Zhang Bo would work too, who also played Sun Quan in Three Kingdoms (2010).

Are you talking about the short comments, that only makes up of not even 1/3 of the total ratings, you can rate without commenting. The different stars with percentage adds up, it's fairly easy to find other dramas rated 7 with similar percentage, it doesn't have abnormal amount of 5 stars either.

Basically, I guess not enough people care to downvote it, they are simply refusing to touch it. Douban definitely have its water armies but if they are here, these ones are smarter than most of the other ones and they aren't super significant enough making a 3 drama into 7. (i would have predicted a 6 with downvoting, high 7 without the controversy, which matches the shape of the current ratings)

For interest, you can look at If There is No Tomorrow 我是余欢水, which had one terrible dialogue in the last ep that set off analysing its misogynistic roots (you can argue the writing is a bit) and consequent downvoting. it's sitting at 7.4 with 8.9% one star, similar to MHH's 8.2% one star. That one actually started at 8 or high 7 I think? and dropped and there was bit of upvoting to 5 stars to combat the 1 stars too.

higher rating isn't particularly difficult, popularity is little hard to say since it's on two different platforms, but this definitely have a wider reach since it's mostly comedy.

nope, it's better off not to to be honest, since the details are different, and directing of the drama, career focus and some characters' personalities are different.

It was never LoL to begin with, it's a fictional group shooting game in the novel, CS:Go (multiplayer shooting game) when they filmed GGS, ctf (cybersecurity, not gaming at all) when they aired GGS. They changed the career probably because they wanted to air on tv to reach a wider audience, all the gaming esport dramas are webdramas and have fairly limited audience.

douban ratings have always been influenced by controversies. this latest one happened in january, it's too recent, it's also tangentially connected to this incident where a female author spoke up about being harrassed in events, and bunch of male authors just attacked her going "not all men", even though she didn't name any names. zhui xu's author was one of them, AND THEN he mentioned "i didn't really think about female audience", I sort of understand what he was saying, but it's just hilariously bad PR. If the drama wasn't adapted this well, i would have dropped the drama like a firebomb tbh.

you can watch this as a separate drama since details are different, it'll explain everything relevant.

Yeah ZRY lost some weight before filming snow sword stride, Maybe because his wife gave birth and they were losing weight together? Or he got used to feeding everyone else with his cooking. This drama's cameo was done when he filmed SSS.

You are already here! I was going to rec this to you ahahaha. This is so much fun and easy to watch.

As for JoL's bgm, it's intentional comedy for some people, they think it's brilliant, while other find it rips them out of the drama.

just watch this one, watching GGS might make you more confused lol.

they are very close friends, not romantically linked at all, although some novel readers said hua ti has a crush on her? I totally didn't notice so it's real subtle.
