There are much better Chinese actors than CZY and much better C-dramas than TWOT, but I still support both.
Oh, I see where I touched a nerve. You've given every single CXY drama you've ever watched a 10 (out of 10).
How sweet! Too bad he doesn't care because he doesn't know you exist. It's also cute how you defended him against my relatively innocuous remarks, but again, he doesn't care because he doesn't know you exist.

Actually, according to your food analogy, I said that peaches and peach pies are much better, but I still support both apples and apple pies. Get your facts (& foods) straight.
Oh, by the way, there's nothing ironic about my screenname because you're the one who made the food analogy, not me, remember?
Thanks for playing. You take the L, but at least you tried.
This is because you don't have privileged access to China's "prestige" dramas exclusively targeted for its domestic…
Cheyenne7889: "everything is accessible everywhere these days."
Given that a relatively high proportion (approximately one-third) of the global population (much more in the developing world) do not have internet access, this is a profoundly ignorant and provincial claim, stemming from (Westernized) privilege.

The poster to whom I was responding made absolutely no mention of any of these sources. (In fact, she specifically brought up geo-blocking as a barrier to entry, which suggests she doesn't know how to bypass it.) Nor does she seem to differentiate between prestige and idol dramas, let alone know what they are. Her knowledge of Chinese dramas seems to be entirely derivative of her friends' opinions about those with "hotties," which only confirms that she knows nothing about prestige dramas, or even that they exist. Last but not least, AI generated translations are hardly "highly accurate," unless you have bizarre standards for accuracy. Maybe DeepSeek or Alibaba's Qwen will address that.
Its getting uncomfortable with the repeated use of the word “woke” especially when its original meaning was…
Plenty of words mean something different from its original intent. So what?
If the repeated use of "woke" makes you uncomfortable, then you can either ignore it or get out of your comfort zone. But who are you to tell others how and what terms they can or cannot use?
For the record, its true original definition means "not asleep": e.g. the alarm clock "woke" me up. So who's "co-opting" what?
