Certainly, better edits is always the best thing, but remember, C-Drama is all about backing and the backers have a lot of control. Sometimes, these backers bring in their own actor/actress and would demand scenes added/story changed FOR THEIR BOY/GIRL. I know, I know, shocking. But it's all very 1950s Hollywood over there.
The bloating had* been a problem, but the new rules are also suffocating good dramas with all these rushed endings. I'm going to use LLTG again. Before I even understood much of the behind-the-scene stuff, I knew, just from watching, that the last five to seven episodes were chopped up. There were too many "fade-to-black" moments and then the next scene, I as the viewer, had to connect the dots to figure out the time lapse and what happened in between.
Same thing with The Double. The ending was very rushed in Episodes 39. Everything was "telling" and not showing. We see these quick glimpses/wrap-up of what happened to the characters (this one went to jail, these two got sent to death, and oh those two were sent out of town forever). This way of wrapping up killed the emotional satisfaction of the revenge. The weight the drama became nothing more than a music video.
Anyway, like I said, I'm not sure how this problem could be solved. Without curtailing it, the industry becomes a bloated mess of 75 or more episodes. With rules, the dramas become a butchered mess at the end.
Who is competition for Xue, though, honestly? And I suppose she knows it, haha. She's by far the smartest, most…
Glad you enjoyed it. It's the most daring written dialogue I have ever read in a C-Drama! Talk about innuendo! 1) Duke Su wanted to be taught in bed 2) Then their dialogue was so obviously about OTHER activities while playing chess 3) And the gifts, especially the bottle, was about sexy times/aphrodisiac LOLOL, and Duke Su gettiing all offended that HE needed THAT stuff. Heh.

TBH, I don't know what the solution is. The C-drama industry takes advantage of everything when there are no rules (1,000,000 episodes per drama, if possible) to get the ads. And when they tried to be clever and find loopholes (like the back-to-back seasons), the powers-that-be, of course, caught on and corrected that.
I am still bitter at the missing ten episodes of LLTG where I believe there were more romantic interactions and the end of Who Rules The World, which was all but ended with the writers throwing spaghetti on the wall and what stuck was the last few episodes. Both of those books were MASTERPIECES, with a lot of nuanced characterizations. Alas. In the end, I think us Chinese writers are just culturally long-winded, bwahaha, even while writing in English :).
As I wait for the final episode dump by Netflix, I realize that I've only ever manage to complete two cdrama series…
I only partially agree. The new rule with exceptions have destroyed LLTG and Lost You Forever. Till The End of the Moon and Kunning Palace have been butchered to fit the required 40 episodes. C-Dramas are not K-Dramas because the adaptations are from very, very long books. Unless, of course, you mean to force the writers to write original works, so then that would be hoping for writers who know how to end a drama...and you get Journey to Love, which was excellent until...The End. Joy of Life Season Two was already deviating from the wonderful novel and I know without doubt its final season will be a fragment of what the published work is because it's going to have to condense dozens of chapters filled with clever dialogue and references.

This is the only link i know doesn’t have Trojans and viruses. The other site most people here use has all kinds of Trojans that could infect your device unless you have good protection. Watch quickly, my friend,because it gets taken down FAST:

Yes, the author follows that Chinese saying about yo chou, bao chou 报仇--eye for an eye kind of expression. Most Chinese revenge dramas follow that, not the Christian/Western concept. That's why we have all these bloody wuxias, LMAO.

Also, that's why the author specifically thought it through and made it a FAKE pregnancy, so a real baby's life wouldn't be killed off that would make her readers all up-in-arms. Every punishment fit the crime, theme-wise. The carriage to Chinese hell is very different to the Christian one.
