I have been saying this forever, but now they just promoted the fact that Cheng Yi is such a poor actor. Thank…
How will Cheng Yi ever sleep at night knowing that the famous drama critic Bekah4315 thinks he "still can't act his way out of a paper bag?"

Speaking of "redemption," just the other day, I was rewatching some scenes from Love and Redemption. I thought CY could act his way of a paper bag. Heck, I thought he could act. PERIOD. But then again, unlike you, I'm no VIP in the entertainment industry, so what do I know?

I noticed that too. Probably related to sponsorship. After all, MDL has to make a living and, thus, pay the bills.…
Interesting comment. I especially appreciate your use of the term "pasteurized," although I'm not sure whether the pun is intended or not.

And "Hollyweird" wasn't a typo, I presume?

As for Hollywood's alleged influence on the Chinese entertainment industry, this was more apparent during the Republican Era (1912 to 1949) than it is now. For example, China has relatively recently edited, if not censored Hollywood imports that have portrayed Chinese & other Asians (including Chinese & Asian Americans) in an unfairly & negatively stereotypical manner.

Just for the LOLZ, observe that Lily Alice, the MDL editor & author of this & other Cdrama-related articles, doesn't have even a single Cdrama on her/his/their watchlist. They are all Kdramas, each & every one of them.

Why can't MDL find an "editor" that actually has a CY (or any Chinese) drama on their watchlist to write articles about CY dramas?

MDL's inherent Kdrama bias would be shady & sinister if it weren't so ridiculously obvious. Forget about comparing MDL Kdrama articles against Cdrama ones; MDL publishes more Kdrama articles than those about all other Asian (including Chinese) entertainment industries combined.

Needless to say, this bias affects the MDL readership & membership, which in turn, affects the rating system. In light of all this, give each & every Cdrama an additional 0.1 to 0.2 points & take away the same amount from Kdramas. Only then would you see ratings & reviews that are remotely objective, neutral, not to mention accurate.

If I see any more nasty comments here about this drama (and the FL) from people who came from Coroner's Diary,…
I'm relatively new to MDL, but I couldn't believe some of the culturally insensitive (imperialist) comments I've read here. Not just about Chinese or Asian FL's, but Chinese (& Asian) people, culture, etc., in general.

What's scary is that international C-drama audiences tend to be more open-minded and culturally-aware than our/their peers.

The original title in Chinese is actually quite poetic. But many international fans may not know or understand…
For the record, there isn't any federally mandated K to 12 foreign language requirement in the United States.

Any requirements are decentralized by educational district & usually only in upper middle class (or higher) residential areas. In the overwhelming majority of American high schools, foreign languages are offered as electives. Even American colleges only RECOMMEND (2+ years of) secondary language coursework for enrollment eligibility.

Nope. This is a wuxia drama with straight romance as side stories. The ML has 2nd FL as his love interest. It…
Just curious, by the way, are you a one-time, hit & run troll? Or do you actually have an original thought of your own? Because tossing one-liner insults around & then running away with your tail between your legs isn't very original, let alone interesting.

Heck, I'm yawning as I type this. If you're going to troll, at least do a better job of trolling. Next time, try to mildly amuse & entertain me. Otherwise, I might as well watch American TV or Kdrama or paint dry, although all of these things would require more thought than reading your comments.
