Yes! My exact thought haha

Sky castle had some of the best quotes ever - so much so I'm thinking about rewatching everything another time, just to write down all them good life quotes

those who haven't seen a Japanese drama and think it's all cutesy... think again haha Love J-dramas <3

Wow great comment! You encapsulated my exact feelings. I totally agree! Just finished binge-watching it and saw your comment. This show gave me so many feelings - feelings of disgust, love and prosperity for the actors. His age was absolutely necessary for the plot line, otherwise it would have been a "normal" nuna-drama where they could have been together in the end. I especially love how Iko's and Wako's character developed simultaneously as the story continued. Truly a master piece. The power balance made me uneasy sometimes, though. But it's all about the feelings. We shouldn't be okay with a 15 year old and a 32 year old

loved it! Will definitely look out for your articles <3 I especially love that you also implement Cdramas - yayyy! :)

I'm only staying for the 2nd male lead now. I have the exact feeling as you

Hahaha so true!

C-dramas, especially historical, often make the FL or ML forget about what have happened the first 30 episodes, and then I have to watch them learn to love each other again??!!! No thanks

It's fun how you mention "betraying the kdrama world" - that is another thing we could discuss for hours! I recently got a reply on one of my comments on an article where the person said I wasn't a REAL c-drama fan if I didn't complete the drama. If a drama isn't entertaining, why should I then complete it for the sake of other people? LOL Crazy fans!

The keyword is also "get better". That also means that you wasn't satisfied with it from the beginning ;) I totally agree with the both of you. Move on to the next drama that can be absolutely great from the beginning!

It definitely has something to do with being older and more "experienced" in the Asian drama world. You know what to expect, what typical plot twists to look out for, actors and actresses and the character setup. Nowadays I rarely find a Chinese or Korean drama (I mostly watch from those countries) that gives me a new perspective or twist. I still watch ongoing dramas even though they share similar stories as previous dramas, but I've now started to mix in some J-dramas and sometimes even Lakorns (although this is rare). This keeps it fresh, and I can have a "rest" while still watching dramas ;)

I'm a sucker for Chinese dramas, and they are usually 40/50+ episodes. So instead of getting addicted to dropping, I would instead find myself skipping A LOT. At the same time, I'm also addicted to binge watching... The worst drama I ever watched, or rather COMPLETED, was An Oriental Odyssey. It is 50 episodes of typical cliches and pure hell to watch. The production isn't worth talking about. I watched all of the episodes in a couple of days, and I was completely physically and mentally ruined. I had skipped at least 20 min in each episode, but I had to complete it. It felt like it would have been a waste of time if I HADN'T FINISHED it.

After this, I got better at dropping dramas, even after just a few episodes. I'm proud of that. Because those extra hours spend on COMPLETING that drama really did waste my time; not the other way around. Today I simply wouldn't have watched it and it would easily have been dropped.

I thought that she broke up with him because she knew he wouldn't be ready for a child; he was immature and he didn't have a job to support them. She simply didn't trust him to get his shit together. (they mention trust A LOT) Yes, she was selfish in that decision, but she did officially brake up with him. She didn't just disappear.

I dragged myself through episodes 20-30. And At 30 I had enough. But yeah, don't believe me then.

I watched 30 episodes; so more than half of the drama. That's enough for me to talk about pace, storyline and production. If I had only watched a few episodes, I wouldn't even have made the initial comment.

@Prompto it's always a hot topic. Should lock my doors ^^

It wasn't only because of that haha. There were several factors that made me stop: the storyline, pace and style of the production. The cast is indeed talented, but if the storyline doesn't appeal to me, then I won't continue watching it - no matter if the actors are capable or not. Everyone has different opinions and preferences. Didn't want to offend anyone at all. I see why it is a loveable drama; it's just not my cup of tea.

So yes it sounds like a bag of BS, if it was only for that.

I wasn't able to finish the Untamed... but I still resonate with your article! That's maybe why I stopped watching it; the gigantic focus on the characters instead of the storyline. I'm more interested in a storyline than just watching hot dudes developing (yes, I still love tha cast!). Overall, great article with a fresh perspective on Chinese Dramaland; great job!

We're in the same boat, you and I... I've waited since the production of the Wolf. So many years gone by and nothing happens
