LOL .. agree .. I watched until Ep 12-13 and quit.After stunningly power driven shows like TTEOTM / SOKP / LLTG…
OMYGAWD!!!!!!
You gotta WATCH them.
TTEOTM was my first propah Xanxia .. so it's amazing that I ended up watching it and learning along the way the argot of the genre .. BUT I LOVED it so much that I watched it again to get a FULL grasp of the story .. and LOVED it EVEN BETTER. The KISSES.
So a 3rd watch for me is on the way later in the year for sure during a rough period.
SOKP .. Phew!! Blew my mind, that it had such complex characters whose motives are not always clear .. and the viewers mind keep on edge not always sure HOW these characters will behave. So many LOVELY tense moments that you cant predict or know what is coming up. And the KISSES!!!
This just killed my desire to watch the show!!!Once you are a veteran viewer .. a modern sizzling romance drama…
Uh n Uh..
Not on board with that statement...I've seen some super sexy solid propah kissing on several CDramas.
Well not Down your Gullet Sucking Hollywood / Western levels of action (which frankly end up being mostly gratuitous IMO) BUT just that lovely cheek warming throat flushing tingling beautiful skinship and kissing.
The lip touch and freeze frame ones are the worst - a full on insult 😅
Unless they happen to be Mr Sunshine levels of Classy Drama..
Finally finished it. Best modern drama I have seen. I don't know why dramas like Hidden Love take precedent over…
ROFL ...
Your comment really is the BEST example of how we can have a Topper Drama List and we will gel 100% with one on that list and have no connect on another.
I LOVED L&P to Death (watched and rewatched like one would play a fave song on loop). My heart quivers every time I recall the drama.
BUT I also went ALL GOOEY and LOVED the BEAUTY and delicate crafting of Hidden Love .. and Zhao LuSi and the ML .. It's sensitivity and ability to get into the mind of the FL .. the fine balance of pathos .. poignancy .. maturing .. ALL seemed like a perfectly seasoned and flavoured soul-soup. I havent rewatched it yet .. BUT it's there on the shelf .. for a calm day .. to again sip on with FULL pleasure. (I do know I'll not do a 3rd rewatch of it though ... I WILL rewatch L&P many many many many more times ;-p As I probably will TTEOTM and SOKP)
What a DRAMA!!!!
CRUEL CITY <3
I was swept off my feet .. Mature .. slice of life feel .. DRAMATIC .. what photography .. OST .. Acting .. STORY!!!!
Ufff!!
I followed up the ML in several other shows he did .. One of the TOP actors from the Kdrama stable. BUT the rest of the cast was equally Powerful.
GO FOR it NOW.

Finally some MATURE flaming kisses.
Lemme know what you think.
~ Love is Sweet
~ FOMH (Fireworks of my Heart)
~ Falling for You
~ Parallel World
~ Broker
~ Road Home
~ Only for Love
and OF COURSE
~ TTEOTM ;-p
Let me know what you think.
It's Kdrama .. Some of the OLD ones were such classics .. They should REALLY bring in back on Kocowa or Viki.
I watched on Dramacool
In the meantime I found a period CDrama "A Dream of Splendour" and it's caught my interest A LOT.
Fingers crossed that it stays as intriguing.
While looking up MDL for deets on the shows on your list I didn't know about I found A Dream of Splendour (ADOS).
Today I am watching it .. and enjoying the 'intelligent' banter and story and the FL who has a LOT of spine and smarts.
Will let you know how that goes.
~ Love Story in Harvard.
Off the Charts chemistry and skinship with a superb story to boot.
However yesss - what Chen FY and ZZ have is incomparable (closest I found anyone gets is LYX and Bai Lu in Love is Sweet)

~ Story Of Kunning Palace
~ Love Like The Galaxy
But she came back like a lame (dented by JSM) goodie 2 shoes Naksu.
Didn't enjoy.
I like my bad ass FLs to stay bad ass and spunky in essence..
I just couldn't shake off JSM's shadow in the follow up.

I think we all probably have that band of actors who kill the shows for us....and then we sort of avoid those shows even if they score a 9plus on MDL.
My heart weeps during those times.😭😭😭😭😭
We have matches between us 😄 stuff that I too enjoyed rewatching and will watch again (and again)
Eg
~ TTEOTM
~ SOKP
~ HIDDEN LOVE
~ THE SMILE HAS LEFT YOUR EYES
I also had a lovely watch of (but won't rewatch)
~ IOKNTBOK
~ Crazy Love
~ Falling into you
Some are still on hold. I will return to them at some point.
~ Come and Hug Me
Tks for the list.
I'll look them up.
Prolly will find more matches between us.

My response and query was for @monstersnroses
I need to put this as reply on that comment where monstersnroses talks about dramas that topped L&P.
I just got curious.
@twinty 's choices I am already familiar with - we've had so much back and forth 🤣😂
Both of us are die hard L&P maniacs 🤣😂
Love seeing the new addicts ROFL and welcoming them to the L&P Fanatics Club

We all have our own Toppers List .. and sometimes some of those match while some don't.
SO would love some examples of the ones that swept you off your feet and you'd rewatch several times and still not get enough out of the show.
(Am sort of waddling in Drama drought sometimes .. and repeat watching my old faves .. wouldn't mind new reccos)
Only LLTG and TTEOTM and SOKP have tripped me up and held me enthralled each time.
BUT L&P is TOPs
You will see MDL names here who absolutely 'haunt' this page ..
EVEN now I cant keep away ..
This will be one of my ALL TIME TOP FAVE drama ..
