Citing Trump as moral & intellectual authority isn't exactly going to help your cause. But it's a predictable ( if not inevitable) move on your part.

Again, learn the difference between assertions and arguments. Prove your unsubstantiated claims.

That sounds more like it. I already knew the American public education system is a disaster, so I rated it correctly.

The fact that you're from South Korea suggests that I vastly overrated the S. Korean educational system. And no wonder S. Korea has the lowest birth rate in the world. What sane woman would want to mate with the likes of you?

Sigh. You have absolutely no clue what I'm trying to say. I'm making an analogy. Look it up.

Yes, children do not get drafted for war. Does this mean children have more rights than men? Because that's the logical conclusion of your argument. Next time, try reading and comprehending the posts to which you respond.

Wait, you said this to someone else besides me? I'm jealous!

No, you should. Just for fun. It's like taking candy from a (developmentally delayed) baby.

Men get drafted for war, but animals don't. By your attempt at an "argument," doesn't this mean animal rights overridethe rights of man?

By your logic (or lack thereof), children have more rights than adults because they get saved first during natural diasters. But then again, your entire argument is a natural disaster.

I am a guy.

You're welcome! Out of curiosity
I would have looked it up sooner or later. My guess is that the dowry laws may not have been explicitly spelled out prior to the Song Dynasty, so status would have generally won out. In other words, the more rich and powerful the wife's family, the more likely she keeps her dowry (and more of it).

Your merciless massacre of the English language is the only circumstancial evidence that men have inferior (educational) rights to women. Because you have yet to provide a single shred of real evidence for your claim. Here's a hint: an assertion is not an argument. Learn the difference.

Go see any 1950s American family sitcom. That should easily disabuse you of any notion that women had equal (let alone more) rights than men post-WWII. But judging from the troll-like quality of your commentary, I won't be surprised if it doesn't.

I thought so, but I wasn't sure so I looked it up. Apparently, as of the Song Dynasty (mid-10th to late-13th centuries), a wife's dowry was officially her own personal property, so she got to keep it post-divorce from a legal standpoint. But I'm curious about the dowry laws during the Tang Dynasty (the setting for Flourished Peony), which came just prior to the Song period.

"Bootleg" websites (w/ pirated content) deserve to be shut down.

Instead of wanting C-dramas to be more like K-dramas, why don't you just stick to watching K-dramas?

Unlike the Korean entertainment industry, the Chinese do not cater to the international audience because its target is 1.4+ billion Chinese citizens and hundreds of millions of members of the Chinese diaspora. Almost none of the "prestige" dramas are marketed to the International audience because they require background knowledge of Chinese history, language, and culture. K-dramas do not require nearly as much cultural context because they are so Westernized.
To sum, don't make unwarranted assumptions based on a relatively small and non-representative sample. At the very least, stop complaining because no one is forcing you to watch C-dramas. If you don't appreciate them, then go watch something else (like your native Bollywood shows).
I'm not a fan of K-dramas (or K-pop), but you don't see me go to the MDL comments section of K-dramas and ask why they can't be more like C-dramas.

I'm kind of surprised that this drama didn't receive an 8+ rating. It didn't try to be something it's not; nor did it take itself too seriously. I found it funny and charming. Tian XiWei and Ao RuiPeng have good chemistry and comedic chops. Very entertaining!!

Since you already named the (C) drama, "Wrong CarriageRight Groom," I figured it's ok to use the acronym. Not to mention, WCRG has the same ML (as the drama currently being discussed), which is why I thought you mentioned it in the first place.
