deejells

I'm all caught up, and the MDL rating for this doesn't make sense. i don't usually watch Xan Xia but this is a really nice show, 8.3 at least

Will do!

Maybe you're not in the mood for this rn but you should come back!

It also depends on what you like, this is a warm comfort show with lot's of lessons and heartwarming scenes, the characters are fleshed out well and much deeper plot than it seems at first. Somone told me in the comments that Su Zai Zai might seem too bubbly and obssessive at first but i should continue, which i did and I LOVE this show 10/10 no notes

I judged this show when it first came out but someone in the comments made me watch it, this is such a perfect gem, you can tell when writers sit down and think of a good plot and this is one of them. I love everyone so much! and the music is soo good!

Yes! He also advocates for combining both western and TCM later on, there's nothing wring with learning about something new!

I think you should continue!

Also if you like politics, scheming and complex characters watch the kdrama "BLOODY HEART" it's underrated but so good imo! don't even watch the trailer just start and you will see some of the plot twists in the first 4 episodes, i have not watched a kdrama like that before. I loved everyone even the villian!

So i want to know if i fully understand everything BJS met LQY at the beginning and sort of knew she was his wife, they got married and he was still suspecting she had her past memories and knew everything and turns out she actually did. LQY Stabbed BJS and took his power away from him for some unknown reason that we don't know yet. they are back in the mortal realm now, and we see flashbacks of before. Am i missing anything. i haven't watched a lot of the side characters parts because i didn't think i would like the show at first

I need an explanation (Bruh i didn't think i would watch this show becuase i don't usually watch Xan Xia but i am all caught up now )
will tag under spoilers

I really hope i like this show 😭

I watched this a year ago and stopped at ep 17 and haven't gone back ( i want to just didn't get the time, i saw that this had a 33k Heat index, which is really high, but the rating here is just 8.4? i don't laways trust the ratings, but at least an 8.6. did the plot start to diminish?

not sure where you are in the drama rn but it gets more serious as it goes on, i watched it whilst it was airing and almost stopped when i saw the school arc.

A familiar stranger?

The villians in POB where just there too

I had to come back here and talk about Wang Xing Yue's (Duke Su's) Performance. I watched him in "One and Only" 2 years ago and I felt he gave a strong performance as an 18 year old, then watched him in "A Scent of Time" and "AASOFL" I didn't watch them particularly for him but he has a VERY STRONG presence. When I watched the double I knew he would deliver, but wasn't sure about the plot at first. WXY is such a natural actor, for a lot of actors i feel like even when you're watching you can tell they're acting and following a script, i, whilst some people feel like they have immersed themselves and become the characters with the micro expressions and line delivery, It just comes out naturally feeling like they didn't even need to put effort and that is WXY, he did so well and he's one of my top 5 cdrama actors at just 22, he has this incredible presence. I hate comparing shows, but I watched a show a bit similar to this some time ago, you can tell the character was similar to this Duke Su, but he just wasn't there yet, you know?? I still remember some of his iconic lines and the way he delivers them so smoothly, his expressions as well. And I can't imagine someone else playing this. Can't wait to see what's in store for him in the future!

Try Joy of life as well

for kdramas i am watching and loving our unwritten soul, and will start first night with the duke soon. Also you've watched Nirvana in fire??? it's the highets rated drama on here and i'm scared of being dissapointed, i started it, it was okay, leading up to something but had exams and had to stop, i need to be in the right headspace. Do you think it's really good??? or was it really good for 2015??

I really enjoyed POB, I don't think it was like LLTG tho at all, lltg had multiple layers and characters to unpack, I feel like my expectations for POB changed around ep 10 and realized it's going to be more romance less politics which i'm 100% fine with. so 10/10 for me. I'm going to start LOZH soon too! tbh maybe becuase cdrama episodes keep reducing i think shows like LLTG, Story of Minglan, A dream of splendor aren't being produced anymore, maybe there's not time to tell the story i don't know what's happening. i started watching cdramas in 2023 and i've watched ALOT of them almost all on your list and i can clearly see the difference especially last year. The double was my favourite last year which i didn't expect, the rest where just meh, and i love idol dramas but shows like Minglan, Ruyi, 10 miles are nit being produced anymore.

hmmm what other shows can i recommend, for "are you the one" i really liked it but some parts i didn't care about. Aside from the few parts i think it was well done. for recommendations since you have watched all the good one's, i recommend
Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace
One and only and it's sequel "forever and ever" (this one is so good and has the main actor from the double)
A scent in time ( This one is so underrated, it came out before SOKP and has similar plot, duke su is also in it)
I heard wonderland of love is good
Will Love in Spring
Legend of Shenli (This was good but not my fave)
Road Home
Ming Dynasty
This is all i have for you sorrryyyyy
