So these episodes are daily...? i'm just asking as a non c-drama watcher... How do you guys keep up if you watch…
I can't speak on behalf of other c-drama watchers because, as hard as it is for some non c-drama (especially k-drama) watchers to believe, we don't all think & act alike. But I guess I personally don't get overwhelmed because I don't waste time going around to random non c-drama comments sections asking dumb questions.
Impressive how you managed to capture the whole show’s essence in just one episode. Must be exhausting carrying…
That's the whole point. The OP didn't come here to discuss the drama, she came here to just to let us mere mortals know that this drama isn't worthy of her highness.
She herself barely watched the drama (only 1 episode) & even admitted that she hadn't seen enough to give a fair rating. So why the fanfare?
We all drop dramas. But who among us, except for those suffering from delusions of self-grandeur, would come here to tell people they don't know & don't know them that they're dropping the dramas (especially after only one episode)?
Where's the discussion? Where's the constructive criticism?
I have no idea what the deleted comment said. But I doubt whoever wrote it deserved to be called a b!tch.
If the OP indeed has had "well over" twenty years of experience watching Asian dramas, then she must be a grown-@$$ woman who should've developed higher EQ by now. At very least, she should know better than to throw misogynist insults around so casually.
Just curious if you read Wei Yu's works in their original Chinese? Or translation?
No, it's ok. I don't want to trouble you. I just wanted to know if it was available for future reference. Right now, I'm nowhere near the reading level for novel comprehension.
But have you read a lot of other Chinese novels adapted into dramas? Which ones would you recommend (for their literary value)? Again, just noting for future reference.
Are you some kind of VIP or something? Why else would you essentially hold a press conference* to announce your…
I didn't announce anything. But if I were to drop a drama, I just do. Especially after only one episode.
I don't write a post telling people that I'm going to drop it. Because I'm not so self-absorbed that I think my decision to watch or not watch matters to anyone but myself.
If I don't like a drama. I'd offer my two cents worth of constructive criticism. I don't make it about myself.
The fact that it seems to escape you why people responded so negatively to your post suggests your complete lack of self- awareness. You don't seem to have an iota of an idea how you come across.

Ok. The reason I was wondering is because I'm learning Chinese, so I just wanted to note the availability of this novel for future reference, since I'll be seeing its dramatic adaptation.
The meteor ☄️ lore is fine and not unusual. There was a drama with Victoria that featured alien foxes 🦊…
Ok, I put this under a spoiler tag because I don't want to detract from the discussion about the drama.
I appreciate your conscientiousness, but I want to adress a couple of things you said.
1) "Secular" is not the same as "atheist." Secular means taking a neutral stance on religions & between religions. Atheist means taking a proactive stance against religion. Or more accurately, the existence of religious entities. For example, the US is also a secular government.
2) China does indeed monitor religious activity but not because it is religious. It monitors all activities that pose national security risks, including those that happen to be religious. It is not unlike what the FBI did to southern Black churches during the Civil Rights Era. Or what they did to Muslim mosques on the eastern seaboard post 9/11.
Yes. DD is a Chinese ethnic minority (Uyghur). China has 56 officially- recognized ethnic groups, with the Han ethnic group being the large majority. By contrast, South Korea is ethnically homogeneous.

It's unclear why MDL allows users to rate episodes that haven't even aired yet. Does MDL believe in time travel or something?
But have you read a lot of other Chinese novels adapted into dramas? Which ones would you recommend (for their literary value)? Again, just noting for future reference.
Thanks
again.
Maybe. Maybe not. But I won't say. Again, because unlike you, I try not to make it about myself.

MDL ratings randomly fluctuate like Trump's tariffs.
Thanks for the info.
Thanks.
MDL ratings aren't exactly Swiss Bank accounts. (Shameless pandering on my part, admittedly!)
7.8 from 247 MDLers.
So basically fifty or so MDL "reviewers" dropped a drama 0.4 points in a matter of hours. That's quite an accomplishment.
Unfortunately, I doubt any of them could even drop 0.4 pounds in a few hours.
