You're a good sport. Put the drama on hold for now; come back to it when you're in a different mood. You may see the FL in a new light. If not, you could tell your friends & familly that you're in very exclusive company.

Isn't it something like three out of four Singaporean citizens can trace some Chinese ancestry? That would help explain the relative popularity of C-dramas in Singapore.

Thanks for the recommendation! I haven't seen it (yet), though I do remember hearing of it.

No need to apologize for (what you call) your "inferior" brain & its lack of comprehension.

For now, try working on your poor trolling skills. Competent trolls are generally better at playing dumb, but maybe you're not playing...

This C-drama has thirty-something episodes.

Do you think "really sloppy" one-year-old babies will grow up to be sloppy toddlers, kids, teens or adults? Why or why not??

The FL's acting couldn't get any better, because it's already on point.

I don't personally find her really (or even fake-ly) annoying. Nor do, apparently, 99%+ of people watching this drama. But if you're in that tiny fraction of one percent, feel free to quit while (you imagine) you're still ahead!

It wasn't "literal molestation," or any other kind of "molestation," for that matter.

The current concept of "consent" that you unconsciously take as a given cultural norm only fully emerged in late 20th century or early 21st century America & Western Europe. Guess what this means?

It means that a whole lot of your ancestors "molested" other people (including some of your other ancestors) by YOUR VERY OWN contemporary Western (& Westernized) cultural standards. Will you judge your REAL ancestors from 500 years ago as quickly & harshly as you judge FICTIONAL, FANTASTICAL 500-year-old non-human entities from a distant time, place & culture? Why or why not?


If yes, you are holier-than-thou, (& according to you) "holier" than even your very own ethnic/cultural, linguistic, & historical family tree of ancestors. If no, you are a hypocritical cultural imperialist of the highest order, LITERALLY suffering from ethnocentrism, if not xenophobia. So which is it? I'm guessing both!!

I used to work in private equity. Now, unfortunately, I can no longer see or hear "mergers & acquisitions" without my mind wandering...

Oops, I thought there was a tech company by the name of Pytheos in the Philippines. But it's actually "Pythos" (spelled w/o the "e")!

Oh well, you win some, you lose some, except when watching a perfectly-matched C-drama like this one, which would be a "win-win" (pun intended) situation!

Hmmm...judging from your screenname & the available countries whose Netflix subscribers currently can see this C-drama, I'm guessing you're from the Philippines!

Happy to help, honestly!

Likely later than you think, but sooner than you wish.

My honest opinion is that no one here can adequately answer your question without reading your mind because we don't know your personal tastes & preferences. And even if you described them to us, we don't know how or what you find "worth it" (to you), what your schedule looks like, what you could be doing otherwise (watching a different drama, studying, working, reading a book, hanging out with friends & family, exercising, sleeping, etc.) and how you would rank all those possible alternative options in terms of worthiness.

Why don't you take the time to watch an episode or two & figure it out for yourself? If you don't even find it worthwhile to invest an hour or so doing this, then you've probably already answered your own question.

True.

Chen FeiYu's singing voice is quite deep & profound as well.

Replace "sacrificed" with "invested" & you should feel much, much better!

From what I understand,(especially more traditional) Chinese citizens (including writers) tend to believe in the duality (or non-binariness) of (human) nature.

No such thing as "happiness" ( without "sadness") & vice versa. Bittersweet, or more "open" endings better reflect their beliefs, reality & way of life.

Keep in mind that only a couple of generations ago, China was one of the most impoverished & underdeveloped countries on earth. But Chinese civilization has been around for 5000 years, (give or take a couple of hundred years) & has experienced more than its share of ups & downs, so Chinese people knew full well that they & their nation will eventually rise again.

Again, I doubt anyone's going to come at you, or get offended by your opinions.

People you don't know aren't going to take what you say too seriously. If anyone does, you don't have to take what they say seriously, in return.

Why would anyone "come at you?"

Do you think your opinions are so important that even people you don't know will get triggered by them or something?

Last but not least, you completed all 36 episodes of Lighter & Princess (w/ Arthur Chen ) & gave it an 8.0 rating, so you thought that Arthur Chen drama was at least worth that much (for you), so why wouldn't this one?

You said that you were done talking to me.

Add lying to your repertoire of bad behavior!
