Oh, I could rant about this all day! The art of subtlety has been lost. I'm a part of Gen Z myself, but this pisses me off too. I love shows that have minimal dialogue, lots of micro expressions, and rely on audience interpretation of cues & clues. These days, dramas treat the viewer like an idiot who needs everything spelled out for them, not an intelligent person who can appreciate and interpret art. Because of this, scripts are also becoming so lackluster. I find myself turning to Cdramas more often, because they've sort of upped their game in regards to this.

Absolutely agree with you. I've noticed this happening over the past few years as well. Granted, some of my favourite kdramas are Netflix originals, but that doesn't mean every drama it puts out is great. And as you pointed out, there is so much more that is lost here- culture itself has been tampered with and a new generation of kdramas has come up, catering to a new audience while isolating the old one.

mujing and quhua are SO CUTE OMG 😭
I love the sort of sad, angsty undertone that both couples have. It isn't mere attraction that's drawing them together, but a desperate need for survival, and all four characters recognize and respect that in each other.

feng lin is literally like one of those evil eunuchs who murmur & whisper poisonous words into the king's ears 😭😭

god those two chicks are pissing me off so bad ;-;
they're so manipulative and hateful

Don't expect this person to understand a reasonable argument like that lmao. They're a brainless zombie stan

hahah girl chill out, this ain't YOUR comment section 😂
I'm completely free to comment wherever I want. Plus you being this intolerant shows how narrow minded & brainless you are lmao.

all these brainless stans are cracking me up fr with how they're lapping up all these fake ass compliments from directors & co stars 😂😂
obviously anyone promoting their show will have good words to say about the main actors, lmao. it doesn't prove a thing 😂

lmfao not you taking people's words at face value 😂
You just believe whatever you want to hear, huh?
do you lack comprehension skills? look at his statement again- "hard work wins over talent"- he's literally admitting that she has no real talent in acting, and had to 'work hard' to compensate LMAO.

Shocked at how low the rating is here. This show is better than many other 8+ star dramas on this platform by leaps and bounds. It isn't the greatest, but there's thought and originality in this story, which I can't say for the several other scripts being churned out.

It definitely isn't! I can only imagine the strain the body must face when deprived of whole & healthy meals for extended periods of time, and so frequently. The long term effects will definitely be horrible to live with.

and the worst part is, because of the big names and idol star this drama will get undeserved attention and acclaim 🫩

gosh, I can't remember the last good drama of his. Free him, indeed!

I'm only 2 episodes in, but this show is giving me butterflies! It's so visually pleasing, with good direction. The colours are vivid and cohesive. Fei Ni and Mu Yang are adorable together :)

Hmm, I get what you mean. I don't agree entirely about her casting, but we'll just have to agree to disagree.

I'm well aware of why idol actors are a thing, it's all for the money. But your last point is dumb- wdym other artists will avoid these scripts? I can name at least 2 actresses who have done dramas similar to each of those dramas you've listed.

Okay!

uhhh should I start this? I saw a lot of mixed reviews in the comments, so I'm not sure if this show is gonna be good. Someone help!

why does this drama feel like a cashgrab lmao. hope the story holds up.

I think what OP was trying to say is that there's no need to give out dramas to idols like it's charity or something. If she's a mediocre actress, or improving as you say, why should she get the role rather than another more deserving actress?
