Yes, that's why I made sure to include only the biased ones.

There's absolutely no reason why mature & secure K-drama fans cannot admit that, in some respects, C-dramas are as good or better than K-dramas. I have no problem acknowledging that K-dramas currently make better modern mystery
& horror series, for instance.

Unfortunately, not to (biased) South Korean lovers...that have a bigger fanbase for dramas to back up their (biased) opinions.

That's why I intentionally placed quotation marks around "lowly" & "inferior."

(1) How can anyone adequately answer your question without knowing your personal tastes & preferences?

(2) By merely glancing at the ratings & comments, it's not that hard to figure out that plenty of people find this C-drama worthwhile.

(3) The minority of people (unless they're trolls) that don't think this drama is worth watching likely won't be hanging out here to see your question, let alone answer it.

(4) Based on your username, I'm guessing you're a typical K-pop & K-drama fan who wants to see us C-drama fans beg you to watch our lowly & inferior (to biased South Korean lovers) Chinese entertainment
products.

Either that, or you're seeking attention and validation because in the time it took to post your comment, you could've seen for yourself whether this C-drama is worthwhile (to you). But maybe you don't want to risk wasting a few minutes of your life on a "lowly" and "inferior" cultural experience.

China has nearly one-and-a-half-billion citizens (approximately one billion netizens, give or take a couple of of hundred million).

They must all think ZKL is better than CL, so they must all be "crazy."

I would say that someone who keeps watching dramas from a country whose entertainment industry is not improving at all is the "crazy" one,
but I don't because I try not to mock other people(s) or cultures that don't share my point of view.

One of the cast members got cancelled, which explains a lot of the editing issues.

But I'm sure even your cinema student "friend" can successfully and completely edit out an actor with a not-so-insignificant role because s/he (they) must be an AI expert as well.

Actually, most clueless toddlers show more self-awareness
and less self-centeredness.

At this point, the OP is just trolling us.

Maybe their mama never taught them that if & when you cannot say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

Of course not. But mocking other culture(s) does.

You can un-like something without expressing disgust and contempt, especially when that something is someone else's culture and heritage on which they base their life values.

Feel free to decline this or that (cultural) experience. But do so respectfully. Or, do you not understand the meaning of
respect?

Again, if watching ancient Chinese men flying is so incredibly "ridiculous" and
"unbearable" for you, stop!!

But then, you wouldn't get your opportunity to insult, offend & troll by playing dumb. Or, maybe you're not playing...

If you still don't like this genre, why do you keep watching it?

When you accidentally bang your head on something, do you then intentionally keep banging it over and over again?? And, for no apparent reason, randomly tell people you don't even know about it? Over and over...again and again...

Almost all racists don't think they're racist.

😊

You say you don't want to insult Chinese culture and then, immediately proceed to do so again in the very same post. You may be right...maybe you just don't get it and, judging by your response, likely never will.

HELLO?!?! This is is historical FANTASY FICTION!! Ancient Chinese people didn't actually fly in the same way that an alien planet called Krypton hadn't actually existed (before it didn't actually blow up). It follows that a flying alien "Superman" that landed in the American
Midwest of all places and just coincidentally happens to look exactly like a prototypical White Midwestern male doesn't exist either. And so on and so on..

Anyone who isn't a blatant bigot could see that the former scenario is much less "ridiculous" or "unbearable" than the latter...and I say this as someone who read a lot of DC Comics when I was a kid!

In the meantime, try watching other Zhou Ye dramas. Or, maybe some other C-dramas featuring (female) generals.

I'm guessing s/he's desperately seeking attention, so s/he's definitely getting it.

If you're an anti-Chinese racist:


Modern White men in long capes flying around defying gravity....AWESOME, DUDE!!!!

Ancient Chinese men in long wigs flying around defying gravity...EEEW!!!

Unfortunately, not everyone can "get" everything.

Western cultural imperialism is the gift that keeps giving!

Oh, by the way...funny coincidence! My three-year-old niece said "eeew" (and made that same vomiting emoji face) just the other day because she saw something new & different that her still developing toddler brain didn't apprehend. So my sister (her mother) immediately let her know that what she did "wasn't nice!" My niece then quickly switched to a sad, pouting facial expression and uttered: "sowwee mommee!"

If a three-year-old toddler mind can develop a conscience, empathy and remorse, there may be hope for the colonizing mind yet...

CDL's role in TTEOTM was relatively well-written. The fact that a lot of the audience hated her (character) so much shows her great talent and potential.

Chen DuLing is giving a masterclass in acting!
