In all eras teenagers will always have that rebellious and arrogant nature, thinking they are invincible and know better than adults. I'm just facepalming me myself with so many of their decisions and actions, like Fenghua signing that contract 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️.

I watched a few eps and its so heartwarming🩷 Bai lu probably had a lot of fun filming a tomboy character. I remenber one of first dramas i watched from her , was Arsenal Military Academ, and she was disguised as a man. The 2 characters have different period settings and mannerisms so they are very different.
I laughed when she said she wanted to hug Chris and leave a lasting impression even if its uncomfortable. Thats sasaeng tactics 101🤣 Wanghe needs to thank his guardian angel because i'm not sure how he is alive after all his shenanigans.

I didn't notice my mistake, thank you for pointing out 🫶

Ok sounds good to me. I just watched 2 eps of Northwards and its super good. A real heartwarming start, i think you will like it.

Actualy Story of Minglan is my favorite chinese drama, how could i not even mention it ? btwi'm adding Marvelous Woman to my ptw

Depends on the genre you like.
📌If you want slice of life in the chinese economical reform period: Romance in the alley ( late 70s to 90s) Always on the move ( late 70s) Wild Bloom ( 90s) The youth Memories ( 70s to 90s)
📌For crime dramas with interesting plots: The bad kids, The Knockout and Drifting Away.

📌 For mature romance, divorce and relationships in general: Delicious Romance ( this drama also has covid protocols shown), Nothing but thirty, Alliance ..
📌Meet Yourself and To the wonder have super pretty cinematography and show chinese ethnic minorities

📌 Scifi : Three body problem and Reset

These are dramas that i watched and enjoyed and none of them are typical idol dramas .

Youku will be cutting a lot of dramas going forward. I think 23 eps for a modern drama it's fine, but i just hope they don't butcher their historical dramas.

I'm still in the vibe of chinese 70s dramas so i'm starting Always on the Move. The sisters father and Ms Liu are also in this drama🩷. I'll probably put more dramas in this genre on my watchlist.

I haven't been active in the comments bcz i was busy rewatching Empresses in The Palace, amazing drama but it takes so much time

After neglecting Six Sisters i just finished the last couple eps. My Jiayi and Ouyang Bao were the best of course, always believed im them 🩷 thank god he got a new haircut tho 🤣 5th and 6th sister were infuriating at times, like Xiaoling decisions were so irresponsible. How do you get handed a job, try to steal and do the same at your new job? Also just getting married and leaving kids in other cities 🤦‍♂️. She took a long time to grow up, it was pissing me off. The mother and her 6th spoiled baby no words for them, i don't wanna waste my time talking about this duo.

It took me a long time to warm up to Jiali, because i don't relate to her character. She was always very responsible, very hardworking, but very conservative and judgemental. But that its probably due to how i was raised and see the world and the time i was born. She is a product of her time as i am of mine. She is a great character and loved her relationship with her husband. Mr Jianguo is still the Hottest Husband. He is also.caring, considerate and hard working which increased his hotness scale for me 😁

This is a google translated post from hunan tv official weibo:

The city maker team went to film in Yantai Mountai in Fuzhou, and huge crowd followed the crew. This drama has been filming quietly, but since they can't close this location everyone trying to see Liying. Her popularity when she goes to public places is no joke. https://weibo.com/1678943394/PfD3NaI4g

Mdl staff accept rumors sometimes, so people just post from random sources.

It was never confirmed and her fans on weibo think this one false. Her next rumoured drama is another iqiyi mini drama The Blue or the other blue by japanese author yamamoto.

Ep 19: Ok now we will have state factories and market cooperatives closing with China economy opening more, so i'm curious to see how the girls will fare. In that time period, factory workers had the more stable job and could pass their position to relatives, like what happened with Xiaoling and Jiaxi, so even with gaokao coming back, a lot of people still thought factory work was more dependable. All changed with multiple state factories closing and people having to look for other options. I wanted them to talk more openly about policy changes, like one child policy introduced in late seventies. We see the kids growing up but only 1 child per family because of the heavy fine.

I was thinking if we would get divorced couples the other day. Chinese divorce rates are very high, so if the story moves to 10 years later it would be realistic to get 1 or 2 sisters divorced.

Eu recomendo assistir Drifting Away. A personagem é uma adolescente rebelde que foge de casa e é sequestrada por um grupo de psicopatas. A série só tem 14 eps e o cast é incrível.

They are much better, especially because ouyang bao has that ridiculous hairstyle🤣🤣
