Title The Lament of Autumn
I'm so frustrated with both the writing and the people who keep justifying his actions.Because what do you mean…
I'm not even frustrated with the writing but the people. It is clearly shown that YCX is a mad man who is intoxicated with what men call their EGO. He is not to be excused and I believe that is why the writing even show him with so much going on, and a lot of men are born to believe they legit should have whatever they want especially coming from that family. So, his actions cannot be justified.

Title The Lament of Autumn
Bro...I don't like you and I'm not admitting to liking you and it's that simple! If you're looking for someone to control stick to your army Mr. General man. Guy is used to controlling and so he wants to have her through the same means. Men and ego, crush it YPJ, Avery stupid mad dog. Lol... I'm enjoying this drama. But it's sad that the woman has to suffer because of the many madmen roaming about. And that said, I hope with the intensity used to show him and we dislike him, I hope even extra effort is made to mske their later love story believable and justifiable as I fear as a woman myself that it is almost impossible now. But if the writer and director can, then TLOA will be a masterpiece indeed. Kudos to the actors. The society has been failing men and I hope more men watch this snd see that you don't force love, women are not objects.

I agree with you, especially on the distinction between portraying something and endorsing it. Fiction doesn’t…
Very well said! "Fiction does not have to make us comfortable...it could challenge us..." I love me the MDL commenters.

Well...not every drama is for everyone and it is very okay, but hating on the drama because it does not portray the green flag is rather not smart at all. Anyway, Cheng Lei's character redemption is going to be very long and very convincing if they are going for the enemies to lovers trope. I love me a good story like this one so I would be watching it all...lol

Title The Lament of Autumn
All I can say is drama decided to risk going for a DARK romance theme, and they really seem to want to portray it. And I love it. Listen, never would I support a case like this in real life and I am not even supporting YCX even though it is played by the CHENG LEI. But as an art student and writer, drama portrays life, both the bright and dark as it should be. We can't play it safe by always accepting the light side of life portrayed in drama when rea life is crueler. The line is that YCX cannot be applauded, God forbid, is character is to be CRITICIZED and hated, and I love the critiques here in MDL over other comment sections of other platforms, that is the whole point of the show...

Title The Lament of Autumn
But he was always a red flag except one or two times.
Finally, people get it. CL characters are always domineering because all his dramas have him being a cold general except for LOTFG and TFJ, others, he at one time due to one mental or health issues forget his woman and his REDness show. So I know he is pulling this black flag off effortlessly

A very new big fan of Cheng Lei. So, I'm watching all his dramas and I realize he was born to either hold the sw0rd or the gvn. He just had to be in one military unit. Even in the new modern drama currently being filmed.

The clip I saw feels like Overdo micro drama presentation. Even the poster above has same color and lighting.
All republican dramas look the same in term of style, have you seen Footprints of Change starring Cheng Lei too which is a republican drama. But, this plot especially seems to be far different from Overdo.

Juat finished watching Footprints of Change a republican drama with Chen Lei and it is one of the best cdramas I have ever watched. So impactful! Had real essence! Now, I am so sure Lament of Autumn is gonna be so good. Cheng Lei YOU! You are one good actor, too good and your eyes be doing all the talking and expression. Continue to choose good scripts and giving your best as always. Rooting for you.

Title Footprints of Change
I came here because of the first ML as he was so good in the recent two period dramas. The first section when…
Hmm...I feel you, but drama should be a reality of life, right? Infact, we are lucky it is pictured as a drama, real life is even worse, moreso, even worse if you are close to the victims in question. I watched it, and yes, I had to brace myself up every second, but I had to endure since it makes me know more about life.

Title Footprints of Change
Unpopular opinion but this is by far Cheng Lei's best role😭 Wow I have no words.
To be honest, all his dramas are so good! But you see this one? I must say with the little cdramas I have watched even of others actors, this has to be top 3 of all cdramas (if anyone knows a cdrama this impactful too, let me know), so profound and impactful. An actual plot and story to tell, very intentioanly told, not just feeding us 'just love' but an 'essence' within. So, saying this is Cheng Lei's best is not even a bad thing, becuase others are best, but this is a best of the best! And I wished it was longer, the ending was abrupt, but that is how life is when a story of one is being told...we can never see it through to the end with the people in question

Title Footprints of Change
I'll consider this a mini drama for Cheng Lei and Jelly Lin since I honestly ended up here for CL listed as ML.…
Yeah, I could not watch the other arc, because honestly, I clicked for Cheng Lei as I am new to cdrama and Cheng lei is the reason I am looking all over for cdrama right now. When the narrator, Yi ended her narration, she did say her aunt and uncle-in-law's relationship exceeded their expectation, I had to search what it means and I realized they built and grew the family's legacy with their business starting abroad showing that their love continued on solid blowing people's mind. I would also wish we were shown through all the stages too to see how they grew deeper and not just that line!

Title Footprints of Change
A very profound drama. A gem all through! Phew! It's been a while I have watched somehting this imapctful. Is it possible to have Dr. Lin and Cheng Ao's story continued? To show how well their relationship continued even after they travelled abroad, bond grew stronger, and laid the foundation of the family reputably. When Yi gave the last statement on her aunt and uncle-in-law after their story arc, she mentioned their relationship exceeded her expectation, I would like a drama that would show us through their growth, how they continued to impact each other, love each other, got married, completed each other. found fulfilment in each other. Oh my! I was blown with the plot, a cdrama with an actual plot. It's been a while. On this note, I can't wait for Lament of Autumn. Yes, the actress playing Dr. Lin is so good, but you see Cheng Lei, his expressive eyes is sooo out of this world, HE CAN SO ACT. I dare say no chinese actor comes close at this point. I wish him well and more success.

Then introducing Africa with pack of animals will make people know that they're talking of Africa? That's stereotype, and you know that. Why they say Africa? And not specify, any one with less knowledge of Africa will think that's how Africa is and continue to have this prejudice against Africa.

The fact is that their fiction will cause prejudice against Africans. It's affecting something, inciting racism, so please know more about what you think fiction is.
