So in a nutshell, you don't want female generals centric dramas, ironic coming from the Country that created Mulan.
I thrive on chaos, and this beloved seems to be Brazilian or at least she knows Portuguese (I think), so I can’t wait for an in-depth discussion in my native language lolololol
There are plenty of C dramas with realistic story line and oridinary looking actors. Not all c dramas are idol…
Yep, those dramas that are a part of the Light On series on IQIYI are fire. Wish this kind of content was also available in the more prominent international platforms. So many hidden gems 🥹

I never said there weren’t.
If all there was to watch coming from a country as culturally diverse and rich as China was idol dramas I wouldn’t even be bothering to spend sleepless nights studying Chinese.

Let this one be. The replies are pretty incensed and not quite constructive to the point you’re trying to make. Can’t say I haven’t missed this kind of interaction here on MDL 😆
"freedom is non existent". Freedom is the power to choose, censorship is to enforce a way, without leaving…
There is no power to choose where censorship is concerned.
Anyway, like I said, carry on enjoying a certain type of drama. It’s your freedom to choose after all.
The article here only points to the fact that the Chinese government has started to acknowledge that putting visuals and certain unattainable beauty standards over other equally if not most important aspects of a production isn’t quite ideal. To which I agree, and trust me, I do not find it nice to agree with the takes coming from a totalitarian regime. Yet here we are.
People be missing the point here so badly it’s sad and funny simultaneously.
Maybe we can still carry on with the idol dramas and pretty faces but please leave some space for smaller dramas with actual good storytelling and production value overall. You know, those underrated dramas with actors nobody even knows about because they don’t fit the beauty standards and “unfortunately” all they have to offer is their acting skills.
Also, as an artist, please don’t use “artistic freedom” as a come back. Artistic freedom doesn’t equal to slapping “visuals and face cards” on a drama and calling it a 10/10 masterpiece. The most poignant art is paradoxically created in times where freedom is nonexistent and the artist needs to find ways to tell a story without having it censored. I say this as someone who lives in a country where a 21-year dictatorship that ended decades ago still affects us to this day.
But I digress. Anyway, some of the most artistically creative dramas in this website have criminally low ratings because they don’t have *checks notes* happy endings, insane face cards, and multiple kisses peppered throughout the episodes. That’s not what Art is so take that word out of your vocabulary or learn how to use it correctly.
Just passing by to borrow some links :) trying hard not to see spoilers but I’m telling myself it’s only going to be references for future drawings 🙃 don’t mind me 😶🌫️
One of those rare cases where the remake elevates the original and even complements the greatness of both versions. At the risk of sounding blasphemous, some aspects of the Chinese version are even better than the original. Now time to watch the kdrama again. Hard to find such good content like this in multiple languages and cultures. We are blessed 🥹
Assisti o primeiro episódio. Não conseguiram trazer o mesmo peso emocional de My Mister. Porque a adaptação…
Achei melhor que o original 😬👀 e olha que o kdrama é meu favorito de todos. Assistir só o primeiro episódio não dá nem pra começar a sentir o peso emocional que sinceramente é um baque até o final.
i really hope the screenwriter can change a few things:the ending near the novel’s end, someone says: “会摇橹吗？可愿渡我一程”…
I’m already so worried with the IS THERE ROMANCE/HAPPY ENDING CROWD ☠️ MDL folks legit skip underrated gems or downvote great pieces of art because it doesn’t have the amount of “fluff” (🤢) they deem necessary to make it a good drama. Please drama gods, remove these individuals from this viewing experience. Gonna deposit my trust in Tan and the scriptwriters to handle this drama the way it should be handled. 🙏🏻
