China is same in copy paste? When did this happened? And in BL or straight drama or overall?

Asking because I am cdrama lover I am genuinely curious which series u are referring to here.

Idk why but yes. Suzuki does fit ur example.

Idk why male don't write LGBTQIA+ dramas. But i think i am ok. Because in my country male writers have very good reputation except few.( Sarcasm obviously 😂).I prefer not to watch any male written movies in my country except few directors work. They give me life time trauma.

So as long as there is depth in dramas I am ok even if women writes BL.

1. 25 years of you.( 45 min drama length series) - high priority
2. Until t shirt dries( 45 min length series)
3. The vacation principle ( 19-21 min series)- low priority
4. Your love so invincible(45 min length series)- low priority
5. Let's end our friendship(23-25 min series)


Hmm ig I can understand what are u saying. Previously jdramas used to cover very bold FL also like scum's wish( i never found s drama like this, very unique story line, i was just an adult and i didn't understood the depth that time later i understood) then we had meet me after school( again tabboo relationship).

Now if i ever want to watch japanese straight romance drama means anime. There also nothing special is coming. Like fragrant flowers i didn't liked. Love of prism, agent of 4 seasons i want to watch but not getting time. Sparks of sorrow( non romance ig from synopsis) is also on my list.

But very much occupied with cdramas. They are bombarding good dramas that I have to pull an all nighter and sleep for 3-4 hours before going to office. 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for correcting me. Sometimes things like this reminds me of the very reason I started watching cdramas in first place. Which is to revise what I was studying that time. ( Had to leave that dream of mine because of life).

Interestingly, i watched one show "Love and Redemption" and there they were using all Buddhism core principles and the Buddha names and the exact same ques appeared in my exam. I was not able to mark the ans if not for cdrama because that was not mentioned in my books. 😑

Anyways, That’s the thing about it, isn’t it. You can study for years and still be at the beginning.--- this is what I think exactly about Buddhism. It's so vast and so living and literature heavy. Which i like it. But if u think it's dreadful as well for people like me.

This has to be true. Earlier i remember they used to make very diff straight dramas with unique concepts that no one ever thought of. Not atleast me. But suddenly u just can't see that. Recently they aired few dramas which are on my watchlist which is having good length as well that's unusual. I am thinking to give it a try. Hoping it will be good.

U think yellowish colour grade is to give warm summer vibes? Like before serizawa, suzuki was always lonely. And the moment suzuki arrived in his life, even though it is weird as the title says. But he is no longer now. He spreads happiness like u said golden retriever. Maybe they chose yellow colour grading? To denote warmth, summer vibes, ray of hope?

One thing about Buddhism. No matter what u do, no matter how much u study. This just never gets complete. Buddhism reminds me of the sleepless endless night and horror i just went through to remember basic concepts and literature...during exam seasons.

And now i have more words Anwen, Anzu. Diamond sutra is strange because how come it's written by Gautam Buddha himself and it was never mentioned in my exam or text books. Which i am thankful for.

Thank you for your englightment.

True. Now kdrama dont have any soul. And this is not only about romance drama. U see even in action dramas we had penthouse. It was so good. Now even in action dramas there is no soul only violence. I tried to watch agent Kim reactivated and scarecrow but no it didn't worked. Even teach u a lesson which was s major hit i was not able to get passed through even ep2. So no.

Netflix should forever remain out of cdrama. I prefer to watch and wait like crazy to watch a drama not in Netflix. Viki is best. Even Netflix cuts dialogues to fit the viewers to read them. There is no translation of songs or opera plays in Netflix. I don't want cdramas to ever take a route of Netflix or kdrama and ruin itself just for the sake of more international audience. No. A big no.

Done.It should be reflected by now.

Madam zuo was well written character. One can feel pity for her, one can hate her to the bones for the monsterous acts she committed. But she felt human. Had Fu family let go of her and didn't hold her for the chastity arch she wouldn't have become so bitter. She was forced to become a demon. Yet she was a good person beneath it. I know she committed lots of crime and forgiving her is simply not possible. She deserved that. But at the same time she never deserved to be the widow when she never wanted to be.

When she got to know that Tingyun is dead. She was also little sad and shocked that how her grandmother can kill her. Then when her brother sold handkerchief embroidery she scolded him that it will ruin life of girls. Then when she was going to commit suicide she killed her own brother because she simply knew she can't go on and she can't leave her brother to rot in the jail because apart from her there is no one to take care of him. So she poisoned him first with his fav food as an last act of sisterly love that she hold for him, the only person she truly cared for in her life. It must be hard for her but life was harder for her to go on. As she said she never lived so she chose to finally live. I will leave it to that.

Not saying what she did was not wrong. She hated Tingyun for no reason. But i get her, she raised a valid point of that time. Why she has to be treated like this? When they both are women and more importantly human being. She slandered a women's virtue, she killed Lu indirectly which he deserved( no empathy), she hid that monster lu from the women when he hold her students undergarments. She did deserved to die.

But deep down the story of zuo is pitiful and yet villaneous. System and law and society made her that. She just wanted to live a full life of splendor but did she got ever no. She got loneliness, isolation. She lost all her life purpose so she chose to ruin Tingyun as her life purpose. Which is wrong. But she desperately needed to hold on to something to go on.

The sentences like " the life of widow is unbearable", " every month i have to take chastity tonic" and much more. She was given a room without sunlight. Sunlight looks trivial but it actually is a ray of hope like it's missing from her life. Her room windows and doors sealed with nails. No brightness in dresses. It was indeed hard for her. The whole chastity arch doomed and failed her.

She is the villian but she is the reminder that some villians were made. She could have died without giving Tingyun her confession. As an last act of human being and the concise that she did wrong to Tingyun she wrote letter and she knew going back to Fu residence is a life in jail. She took both her and her brothers life. How hard it must be for her to take her own family life when all her life she protected him expect that one time.

She is the tragic character. All her emotion felt 3D.

Maybe in next life somewhere in the fictional world i wish her to get a good life where women are not bound with marriages. Where system has not failed her.

With this drama covered the cost of chastity arch and the how society defined splendid and honour is all glamour and beneath that it made u ques is it truly a splendor? The ans in case of madam zuo is no.

Parting ways with her as a character.

Ep 5-9, wowwwww. Just wow. This drama has me obsessed. Love was never felt so restrained yet beautiful. Admiration and keeping feelings secret has never felt so beautiful. The road to splendor....that's what it is for both zhao ling and Tingyun.

But the story never fails to ques is it really road to splendor that our mind and society has set defination of? Story says this by showing FanKe and Salt merchant chancellor wife. Each word very carefully written and crafted. Madam zuo defination of splendor was it truly a splendor?

Me too. But that's ok. As long as we are respectful with each other opinions. Atleast one thing is common we both like seakeen. 😂

Genius gf, mystic nine, ren yu, forging justice.

Ep4, i cried for almost 10 min with Tingyun in the first half of the ep. It was so hard on her. Ancy Deng truly nailed in that scene.

That's sad. Haven't seen Yanxi Palace yet it's in my Plan to Watch list. I will check it out. Regarding novel, i will try to read it ig translation is available.

Thanks for info. And sharing ur experience.

Side note/ off topic:- i love ur reviews. It always brings much deeper and concised knowledge about the main plot. Because i get lost somewhere in 40 ep. 😅 With historical knowledge to made me understand why certain things happened. So thank you for all those reviews as well :)

Ofcourse. Just hear the Convo

Narin:- so are u into older people.
Cheewa:- not that much old.

My mind- no he is not interested in any older or younger person. He is interested in u. Only u. Screaming under pillow.

What right do they have to make my heart flutter? 😩

But long story short. I loved first ep. U see two people falling for each other slowly. There is no competitiveness, there is no i will prove u wrong. I was tired of nerdy tropes. But here beneath it, of explores a deeper concept. A nerd cheewa who is bookworm and curious about astronomy but was not able to defend himself with bullies. On the other hand narin saved him. One might think he is some brat but here u see he is a person who adjusts accordingly with whom he is talking. He appreciates the idea that Cheewa is diff but he is understanding him. He is soft character.

U see Cheewa( and in almost all Sea characters except H2H) he always is a calm character. He has some stillness. He talks slowly and look into the eyes of his lover. U see him and u get calmed. And Narin is equally diff, he is full of life and motion.
They compliment each other in terms of personality. Let's see how story unfolds.

Unpopular opinion i didn't liked Bad Buddy. Sorry. I know am rare species here. But this can't be helped. 😅

But h2h was a very diff story than usual uni trope that satisfied me. I loved it. Here now i have watched ep1, it's diff in the sense that are not challenging each other like muteluv. Both are very grounded characters. One says scientific facts and laws and one tries to understand. Too cute.

What i meant is i don't like them always giving and having nerdy and average or both nerdy faceoff tropes. As i said they can give them a very loving story like When oranges fall. That is also school life based love story right. But it will be so diff for them. I will love them on scripts like that there. Just look at When Oranges Fall. Sure it was not fluffy but it was warm and the actors of that story acted well.

Trust me GMMTV is the fault here. They don't want to hire a good writers for their not so favourite characters. Otherwise tell me why Dare u to death gets average script no promotion, while mr. Kill is so good? Why not me and leap day and burnout syndrome are good? Why Boys in Love got no promotion? Their actors have to come live and use stupid yet effective techniques to promote their own series. Why leng always gets bad script? While High school frenemy and Wu is good? The problem is that either GMMTV truly is inconsistent or they show favouritism or they keep giving same trope to seakeen.

Is it too much to ask diff trope even in school/uni life? I already know seakeen can nail fully cute series. So they can take challenging and dark school life and uni life series as well. Given that they are 20 and someone said that they will not be able to play young roles again so i will give this to them. But not same tropes please 🥺

All to that. I think his challenging role was Jinn. What u defined is just character part. But Jinn was not that simple character.He was a lover who in early age faced shame because he said that he liked J. Because J was kid he didn't understood. But understand the pain and frustration of someone who still can't help all these and secretly liked J beneath his competitiveness atitude so as to get his attention same with J. Plus imagine seeing his mom seeing back with the person who left then when wind was not in his father's favour. Imagine after bickering u finally got together and u are experiencing and seeing J ur own faen whom he loved since childhood to not sleep so that no life gets lost. And even admitting he is ok with dying if J has to sacrifice this much. It was a good story. Nothing extraordinarly but very diff one from the usual uni trope and I loved seakeen there. There were some boring parts in that drama for me. But it was a good script by all means and that's what I want to see. Give diff scripts and new scripts even in school/ uni trope. Like how Only Boo talked about falling for a person just because he is kind. Nothing grand. No bg no love story no love at first sight. But what a simple way to fall in love wow. I was taken aback that wow.someone can fall for a tiniest trait. And see him he keep smiling in stage when his own life was no where smiley. It subtly showed the harsh reality of pop culture. So, bring it on.

But what u defined is a well observed character explanation. I loved this comment.

Cheewa:- do u know how many years old the earth is
Narin:- who would know
Cheewa:- almost 14 billion years old
Narin:- counting how many zeros are present in billion
Cheewa looking into his eyes so adorably and patiently.

Loved this scene. Cheewa patience is the key here. He is not egoistic. Yes he is nerdy but he also appreciated not every one can have all the knowledge in this world. And Narin is also curiously listening him. It's not like " why are u telling me this?" And u know that simple thing is so beautiful. Do nothing just appreciate each other's presence. That's it.

Plus halley's comet. Comets are rare occurrence, one is lucky to witness that. Just like the pure connection of love. I liked this comparison.

Plus they met when they were adults. So this story must go from school to adult life giving separation. Am all ready.

I guess I found a series finally that makes me as a grown adult feel blushing over these two cute people. Finally something fun and fluffy which i can look forward to after my Friday work every week.

PS- i loved the poster. Not the MDL one but the one in yt break. Both sitting on planet looking at the space with astronomical bodies. Nothing new. But it suits the vibe and story of the series.
