You're obviously smarter than the rest of us dummies. Why are you wasting time watching dramas when you could be coming up with the next E = mc^2 instead?

Check out the first couple of episodes and you should have a good guess about whether or not you think it's worthwhile.

BJT & ZJM, ftw!

Other Bai JingTing dramas. Try You are My Hero.

This is because you don't have privileged access to China's "prestige" dramas exclusively targeted for its domestic (vs international) audience.

It certainly appears that a lot of care and consideration has gone into the aesthetics of this C-drama.

Some people have rated FP episodes that haven't even been broadcasted yet. Either they're time travellers or psychic. Maybe they're time travelling psychics. Who knows? But these people who can see into the future say that unaired episodes only deserve a 1 or 4 (out of 10) MDL rating.
Let's stop wasting our time and cut our losses. Obviously, these MDL ratings are honest and legit, so what's the point of watching now only to be acutely and bitterly disappointed later.

First Frost could be even better than Hidden Love. Bai JingTing is that good of an actor. And it's nice to see Zhang MiaoYi from When I Fly Towards You in this as well.

The four popular ones (for international audiences) currently airing are: 1) Blossoming Love, 2) Flourished Peony, 3) Guardians of the Dafeng, 4) Moonlight Mystique.
Don't judge any of them by their MDL ratings. Some people are rating episodes that haven't even been broadcasted yet.

You don't have to be a fan of an actor to watch his or her dramas.
I'm not a fan of Trump or Biden, but I still live in the United States.

I haven't yet seen enough to give him a complete grade, but I didn't recognize the character was played by Miles Wei at first, if that means anything. No matter what, it's commendable for Wei to stretch and challenge himself as an actor. Definitely he's passed. Possibly he'll totally ace.

Do you know the budget for Flourished Peony? It's at least 8, likely 9 digits. If you think the producers spent tens of millions or more (RMB) on YZ's hair, makeup, wardrobe, etc., you're bad at either math or trolling.

Blossom is a very good drama, but it's unfair to compare it to one that's not even a third of the way through. How would you like it if I judged only the first third of your comments? Judging by the quality (or lack thereof) of your posting history, I'd probably be doing you a favor, but whatever.
Last but not least, whether or not you call yourself a fan of this or that actor is irrelevant.
(1) No one can confirm your fanhood.
(2) No one knows how you define fanhood.
(3) Being someone's fan doesn't magically make you immune from biases against their
dramas. Needless to say, it doesn't necessarily help you acquire good taste.

"Fortune favors the bold."

Please do not feed the troll! She is a fake Zhao LiYing fan.

Li Xian is a quality actor.

It's interesting to see Miles Wei go out of his (acting) comfort zone. A bit disconcerting to say the least. And I didn't initially recognize him. Quite a departure from the nerdy, absent-minded professor type.

She's lost a considerable amount of weight since her teenage years. If you see her dramas from 15 or so years ago (a couple of which I've seen on YouTube due to popular fan demand), she looks basically the same but with "baby fat." She started as a child actress and hasn't stopped since, so it'd be hard to not notice if she got plastic surgery. And it looks like she's lost even more weight recently (possibly for this role in particular).

EDIT to add: Another poster in this thread (@Lushhh) confirms the weight loss was indeed due to this role.

You're the one who brought up children. Not me. You're the one who pointed out that there's no war going on right now. Not me.

Only a warmonger thinks that "serving your country " is the only rights-based issue that matters. Typical American!!

The USA justified the kidnapping & enslavement of Africans the genocide of Native Americans, the invasion of Mexico (Mexican American War), the invasion of Cuba (Spanish American War), the Vietnam War, the invasion of Iraq (under false pretenses), etc. in the name of "serving your country. " More like serving the US military-industrial complex!!

Prove it! Prove every count!

All your "arguments" happen to be mistakes!
