Hi! Maybe you could watch "An Lian Shi Ke Xing Xing Tang (2025)" for a sweet romance💗. I mentioned what you said about the abuse in the comment above, it is always super-helpful to know about abuse scenes beforehand! Thank you for noting it and also for sharing your thoughts!
No cutesy sweet romantic moments here!!!As Jana said (comment below) beware of the various abuse scenes!
This drama focuses on betrayal, detanglement from a deteriorated relationship and rebuilding oneself after betrayal through meaningful life changes and actions (and not through the next romance). It also depicts elaborately what genuine interest and respect are.
If you wish to watch Gao Ming being a scumbag - turned-into-an-abusive-passionate-hub stay here, by all means. If you wish to watch Mo Ning talk about her heartbrake in a thrilling badass detached monologue*, this is also the place for you. If you want to watch Zhang Chi behaving knightly while maintaing a very big distance from the object of his interest, this is your drama.
For sweet romantic scenes you'd better try something else (e.g. "An Lian Shi Ke Xing Xing Tang (2025)" for endless Zhang Chi - Zhi Chun He cute syrupy love!😍).
My Take Boundaries, Respect and Thoughtful Discretion are deeply romantic and really sexy traits, so I neither felt any romance missing, nor that the ending was abrupt, as many people have said. The story was written and performed so that honest actions and thoughtfulness made up for the non existent steamy scenes. As for passion, there was more than enough of it in the FL's pain, and in the scumbag hub's abusive pursuit. For people with trauma from betrayal maybe this is a good watch, for re-educating the soul as to what real love is and how to stop falling for any scumbag's passionate love declarations. Not suitable though if you can't handle the abuse scenes.
*As for the heartbreak monologue, the matter-of-fact way Mo Ning portrayed and expressed it was very realistic, way too realistic for my psyche, it hurt like hell and cut like a knife. A very good scene!
All in All What I loved best was the way the series shows that healthy relationships and true love have to be built on the basis of people helping each other achieve self fulfillment and independence.
This is one of those rare occasions when a sequel might be even better than the original. The story is just as…
I second what you said, and will add that this is a fantastic drama! It carries the duality of a light comedy and a psychoanalytical melodrama, so well written, and beautifully performed!!! Productionwise everything is top notch, with the cinematographer/ film colourist receiving my deepest respect!!!!

bad eng subs - hilarious names! The FL is translated as Odette, even when called jiejie! I waited till the end to find an Odil, or at least a Siegfried to make their appearance in the subs but it never happened...sob!😄 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0MqSVUzNZn8&pp=ugUEEgJ6aA%3D%3D
"姐姐乖，请一直宠我吧" 2026 "Sister be nice, please keep spoiling me"
ML: Zhang Wen Hao 张文浩 FL: Nan Shu 南书 (I think!)
Quick take: The same old story retold, but without abuse and tortures. Lihhthearted, funny at times, with a super sweet character for the ML.
Li Zhaoyue saved Shen Yan, her non-related didi, from the orphanage and has been living with him since then, and she has also been bound for years to a (funny and extra-sassy!) system whithin a novel, which assigns her tasks. In order to save the world from collapsing, she has to bring the novel leads together; for the completion of this task she has to choose between to paths: either become the evildoer herself, or push Shen Yan to turn evil. Li Zhayue and Shen Yan break through the system's shackles in a sweet tug-of-war, saving the world and protecting each other.
from someone who has seen his works, which ones are his best? I've seen the ones with Chen Fang
From the 15 dramas more or less that I've watched with Dai Gaozheng as the main leaf the best one is " Today, a Cloud Loves Me" and the second best is "Verbal Sparring" (aka LipGun), posted here in the comments by our favourite Cdrama benefactors ChrisC and Tinyboxtim🌈💗🌷🌷🌷
Both these dramas are more like nicely stylized films, and they both have very good cast, production and art directing.💖

This drama was so great!!! The production is wonderful, the acting top-notch, the story far-fetched but well written; another small filmic dream under the guise of the short drama format!!!💖💖💖 Awaiting eagerly for Season 2, to write a comprehensive review!!!💖💖💖
At less than an hour this is too short to be taken seriously. The good part is that nothing is drawn out and there…
If the story was good the time limit wouldn't have been a problem. There are short movies which last less than 10 minutes and they are very good.
But the story though it has an interesting start, has only two emotional events and the ending is just as you described it, I wonder what the writer was thinking, especially when he wrote those last lines of her inner thoughts which close the drama. Incomprehensible.
Kudos to the actors though, the pulled it through without any mishaps🙂.

"京婚如意" 2026 "Auspicious Wedding in Beijing" ML: Miao Tian Tian 苗天添 FL: Xiong An Ni 熊安妮
The drama tells the story of pediatrician Guan Shuyi, who, in order to avoid an arranged marriage, hastily marries Shen Qinyu, her best friend's uncle, whom her best friend describes as "old-fashioned and boring." He's an ex soldier , now a business tycoon, who has adopted the orphan of a fallen comrade. Initially, they live together for mutual benefit, but he's fiercely protective of her. Their feelings deepen as they navigate the power struggles within the wealthy family, ultimately discovering that they share a destiny forged during a massive flood years ago.
