yes, since netflix takeover, kdramas have beem on a downhill slide. More money and more exposure but less quality...
too true. Kdramas used to be more gritty. Splitting into seasons is like test fly a kite and if it's making money, bring forth a second season, milk the viewers. And a lot of viewers just want this fake warm, bubbly romance escapism and anything serious that is romance-free is marked down.
Can you blame them for this kind of behavior?The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has profoundly altered the character…
Spot on but you have ideological warriors bent on hating China spewing rubbish. In the first place, what are traditional values some referenced? Betrayals are common in Chinese histories and also in western histories. Power, fear and distrust are common themes also in kdramas, Hollywood movies and in the case of the actress, the allegation is that she left the accident scence after injuring thee people. This is a crime and she fled the crime scene; surely anyone involved ina hit-and-run incident will report to the authorities first. Hushing it up with either power or money is just corrupt behaviour and practice. As for the ideological warriors and haters, get a life before spewing your vitriolic hatred

This is also happening in Europe and the USA. The 'modern' west is not immune from baby girls being discarded, women being trafficked. Such ideological blindness is so tragic.

Thanks but Hollywood pumps out propaganda all the time - with their spies stuff, war dramas and more; it's not confined to festive seasons or national holidays alone. And really, this drama is a bit slow but maybe better and depicts conditions in poor regions rather well and remember, this was the 1970s and 1980s.

Don't watch it then. Just as I refused to watch Can this Love be Translated. As for peddling propaganda, which country doesn't? Hollywood does, Bollywood does, UK does and even kdramas do that explicitly.
Boring. Endless repetitive tussles between the '2' brothers.
LY and TLC and their endless gripes and tussles - all so repetetive, endless, and dead boring. The plot is also so banal - seems to revolve around a YinYang which is allegedly bad and a good - typical Xianxia story and no wonder, I can't subscribe to this simplistic 'fight' between a good and evil being. But what is truly boring is as I had said - the fight between the 2 'brothers' - LY and TLC, endless and repetitive
The truth behind Ye Qing Mei's death. She was killed by the Emperor, I think. The identity of the fourth Great Grandmaster - Is he really Eunuch Hong or someone else? The eunuch, was that ot confirmed in Series 1 already? The identity of the woman in the Crown Prince's face-less woman drawings. JOL 1 shows the Crown Prince with his many face-less woman drawings, and his mother (the Empress) finding those drawings and reprimanding him in JOL 2. The woman is the Grand Princess, and that's why the Empress scolded him; it's an unhealthy obsession.
Biggest reason: the influence of western media. When I began watching K-dramas in 2015 I was captivated and often…
you hit the nail on its head - seek to cater too much to the west. kdramas were grittier and yes the violence was in your place not stylised like may western dramas. etflix kill off the flare and the originality
Don't worry, this is the reason I dropped this way back along with poor direction, poor pacing, and tropey storylines.…
yes, too many misogynists, all blaming the woman. Sadly, many cannot seee and undertand why she left in the first place. She was in a drug-induced state when she was told her child was sick (she was lied to but she believed it) and propted to act decisively and immediately. I don't think the female characters were well-written in DY and BOY either, all the focus was on the men and the path to be no.1.
She was killed by the Emperor, I think.
