correct!!! I vote 'aye'

The first time I watched CIMT .. I dropped it after skimming and realising he's NOT the guy (tears streaming down face) .. in those early days of my drama life I hadn't yet picked up on concept of SL and ML .. and foolishly followed my heart ..

Much much later I decided to go and rewatch it to get the real story.

HE was SO SO HOT!!!!
Will never forget that black ear stud!!!
and when he plays the piano!!
OMYGAWD!!!

The other time an SL wrecked havoc was Kim Woo Bin in HEIRS.

Is there any romance in this drama as an integral part of the drama's plot?

LOL

Only for Love SPECIAL gets a 9/10??

While the show is a 5/10

hee hee hee .. what happened? Was curious to know,
Expecially because I thoroughly relished the quirky show ... which MOST folks bashed up ;-p

Is there any romance angle at all which is part of the plot?

🤩🥰🤩
Mine too.

Yet so many people just couldn't get into it - and most found it dull 🫢

I have rewatch it and might do so again some day 😍

Ooooo waiting..
Top fave When the Weather is Fine

Cheese in my Trap he gave me severe SL SYNDROME

🥰😝
I know!!
I sometimes end up being this way - especially when I vibe with someone.

The other 🤩 moment I had was seeing your 7.5 for WIFTY.

And few others 🫣

🤪
I slurped my way through FOMH.

The first time seeing Yang Yang.

And my 3rd CDrama last August when my Chinese Journey started.
Prior to that 3 years of only KDrama like a loyal tail wagging dog I looked at nothing else.

I had no idea that CDrama had hidden gems.

Ah fantasy element - got it

No court drama.
Barely a court scene - that too was linked to a family plot point and not any "court" stuff.

Aww.
I am glad too 💕✨💕

You know what I am HUGELY AND MOSTLY psyched about when I saw the 7.5 AaSoL rating 💃 of yours??
I am in sync with your view and opinion of it 😂😂

I entered that minefield and left some unpopular lengthy comments 😅🫣

Thankfully had enough people feel the same way 😜

I find Wu Lei a brilliant actor... But Drama had no BITE.. No texture etc.

I dropped the show.. Around Ep 7/8 I think....hopped and peeked at few later eps including last one.. And decided I couldnt sink my time into it.

AND once again (after reading your description of why your liked Tunnel) tugging at your sleeves once again : (wink) check out 2 eps of UF.
Am betting 80% you'll not drop it 😁

🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

So basically what I was thinking when I saw TUNNEL as an anomaly on your list..I thought hmmm UF has WAY more important a romance thread.

You know what?
I would still nudge you to taste 1-2 eps of it.. 🤪

You are a TRUE BLUE romance watcher 😁
Looked at your list..

Except for 1 blip "Tunnel" (you rated 9/10) which is tagged as "slight romance" most of your shows are romances as primary plot or one of the main plot threads.

The other thing I noticed is a 7.5 /10 for AaSoL.
🫢
Was surprised because Drama world is swooning in the eyes of Wu Lei' stares 😝

😂😂😂

Yes. Sometimes we just need that little bit of extra description to push us to a decision.

Glad I was able to help you decide for good

😁
It's not a "romance" drama..as in it's not the MAIN story..
Its a slow burn thriller - suspense show I'd say..
BUT the romance is integral to the drama and is a plot driver.. It's not a FLUFFY feel romance ..Relationship is a better word for it
It's adult - serious - slice of real feel.

It was such a seductive drama - loved it to bits but you nailed its disappointing aspects VERY WELL.

I lost the finance - business - embezzlement plot totally.. I don't understand "world of finance and white collar crime" so all the more it escaped.

You are so right - wanted to see a LOT more emotional coming on of the FL towards the ML.
That stayed imbalanced..
The kisses were "NOT beautifully shot".
After all the "forced" kisses expected an FL initiated spontaneous "propah" kiss.

So much fat trimming could have happened with the length of scenes and camera lingering. It's beautiful but NOT ALL parts of the drama need to be like that

Indeed she did.

Precisely what I addressed in my spiel 😀

I have it on my list.
Like I said - for a day when I am in the mood to pull it down.
😜
