A lot of these c-dramas seem to be going nowhere sometimes... I'm on Ep 7 and there's no real hook. I enjoy it quite a lot when I watch it, but sometimes I forget I have to continue watching it 😅
I have The World Owes Me My First Love and My Love, Enlighten Me still stuck around the 21-22nd eps, too.

Oh my goodness I can't believe I avoided this drama for so long just for one terribly stupid reason: I thought Love O2O had too many unreal, porcelain-looking characters 🤦♀️🤦♀️ Dang, YangYang looks so FINE in this one!
Vivi what are you watching now? You seem to have great taste... :)
Awww thanks! It's nice to find someone with similar tastes!
I gave up searching for family dramas... they're like hidden gems I have to stumble on and suddenly like by accident 😅😂
I thought I'll start the cdrama You are My Glory because it looks like a very good Chinese romcom.
I watched Tomorrow With You recently and LOVED it... all about the realistic challenges of a couple who marry too quickly but mixed with a time-travelling plot that amplifies the problems most couples face. It's a romcom that leans a little on the angst side.
Also watched Thirty but Seventeen just before this... it's a romcom which has that distinct kdrama flavor— full of unexpected family and heartwarming, hilarious characters. It's a rom-com, so there's lots of romance and comedy.
You might like 18 Again... again, it's full of beautiful family relationships(though the main plot is the same as the movie 17 Again).
Ahhh, I'm postponing watching the last episode because I don't know what to watch next! This drama has definitely…
I worked on the drama "Octogenarians and the 90s"... it's also beautifully shot with Bai Jing Ting and Janice Wu as the mains. It's about two young people who manage a nursing home. The guy is funny, awkward and street-smart, the girl is responsible, a natural leader and artist. I found it quite heartwarming and sweet, because I love old people. It's quite realistic with its portrayal of all kinds of old people and the challenges and barriers between the old and the young.
But it does drag quite a bit with its 39 episodes and I would have liked more romance. Bai Jing Ting was the reason I stuck with it many times. I loved his actions and expressions. I had to watch it twice and watch it segment to segment the second time so don't trust me on how interesting it is... you can check the reviews and decide 😅 The thing with realistic/nostalgic dramas is that they're always hit-or-miss for each individual person.
I love Yiding. He's the most romantic of them all -- the sudden kiss in the rain; the walks home; movie night;…
Agree! Even the way he's usually around her, the way he's always more concerned about her first, the way he knows exactly how to make her laugh, the sudden kisses even after they've been married for years... he melts me more than a lot of way-too-handsome MLs I've seen :)
My favorite side characters: 1. Wang Yiding 2. Song Qingyuan (Yicheng's friend - I wanted to see more of him!) 3. Nanfang 4. Weiming/Weimin/Jia Min/ whatever you want to call Yicheng's cousin 5. Master Ma 6. Weiming's wife
Just finished it!! What a wonderful journey this has been, carrying us along with the Qiao family from the 80's to 2010 😭 It was realistic, beautiful and heartwarming. Every actor played their parts to perfection. They were so natural! I love the way we see them age slowly and subtly. Respect for everyone involved in bringing this to us, including the subbing team!!
PS: Yiding's laugh at the end surprised me so much 😭 That was a first! Loved the last scene, the camera movements, the screenplay, everything. What a wonderful ending! It was amazing to watch and discuss this show with all of you here in the comments. So many times, I pulled through by ranting here and then going back to watch. Thank you all for keeping me company!
What are y'all watching next? I have no idea what to do with my time now that this beautiful drama is over!
Just finished Episode 35 and I really don't want this to end 😭😭 Aside from the grudge I hold against the writers over Yiding-Sanli screentime, I really really love every single thing about this drama. What am I going to do when it ends??
After the BOND, CN Drama 感谢订阅中 posted two episodes of 裸婚时代. Is 裸婚时代 a new c-drama or…
I Google translated the description, if you want to check whether this plot has been done before: Tong Jiaqian (Decorated by Yao Di) and Liu Yiyang (Decorated by the article) have been in love for nearly ten years. When they get married, they find that they have become a "naked family" with no house, no car, no deposit, no diamond ring, and no wedding. They firmly believe that love can overcome everything. However, life has given them disgrace, incompatibility with the three-generation family, the patriarchal patriarchy of father-in-law and grandmother, and all kinds of unbearable life. The young couple gradually changed their true colors, could not stand each other, and went to break up. After the divorce, the two started a new life, but they understood and tolerated each other in various incidents, and also learned to deal with the relationship with each other's family. The two became mature, and it became clearer that they were still in love with each other and finally came together again.
And the pinned comment says: Get pregnant when you are unmarried and get married naked with your baby. Will love be lost to reality? 🏠 Article, Yao Di, Wan Qian, Zhang Kaili, Han Tongsheng lead the starring~😄 Focus on the new marriage era of the post-80s~Meet in Chinese TV dramas every night👏
Well, that went from icky to gross to COMPLETELY UNHINGED NIGHTMARE FUEL in one episode. Her family is worse than…
He was a minor. Everyone could see that she knew he was naive and stupid. I don't think it counts as "consent," according to the law. What she did is a crime. He was visibly broken after the entire ordeal. He went through mental abuse.
It's sad to see because the rape of male victims is usually hard to prove because it's more mental abuse than physical abuse. Qiqi looked so broken, mentally scarred and terrified while the girl was still running around with that insolent smile of hers. If it was the other way round, you wouldn't have accepted abuse he had to endure. Everybody would be making comments about how "men get away with everything" "men don't take responsibility because they don't get pregnant" "poor oppressed woman had to go through all of that"
I have The World Owes Me My First Love and My Love, Enlighten Me still stuck around the 21-22nd eps, too.
