I'll suggest you to stay away from Thai lakorns. My friend made me watch some of them and I was shocked how they sell infidelity, rape, abuse, cheating in the name of romance and fans claim how romantic it is. I would get so mad watching women being abused and the abuser get a happy ending with no remorse, no character development.

If you hadn't made your original comment, I would have really gone in blind into the drama. Not many seem to be bothered by toxic, controlling ML :/

Maybe I should try a few episodes and if it gets too heavy or toxic, or it feels like the writer wants to give a message that women should tolerate abuse from men if he gives some love in return then I'll drop it.

Yup, we need to remember what era the drama is based on. I hate seeing men having multiple partners but we know historical dramas will always have harems coz it did happen in those times...

Yea, there are all kinds of people. I've seen fans of dramas where the ML rapes the FL, victim doesn't have any trauma and after a few episodes happily gets along with the criminal. I've been fooled into watching bad dramas full of such toxic waste coz the comments made me believe it was some romantic drama.

So here it seems the makers realized a faithful production might not be appreciated no matter how popular the actors are? I'm not interested in watching toxic relationships in the name of entertainment, really wanted to try out the drama coz of Bai Lu :(

I'm going through comments before I decide whether to watch or not, you are the only person who has mentioned these points otherwise all the comments made me think this was a normal, healthy romantic drama. What's going on?!! Also, MDL should put the rape tag to warn potential viewers.

np :)

I think you mean 'My Super Hero'

Don't even remind me of censorship. China loves to show its power over art. They even dictate how many episodes a drama can have and some ppl try to justify it with their idiotic excuses.

I checked her MDL page, haven't yet watched any of her dramas. I started watching c-dramas during lockdown so you can imagine how much I still have to cover. Sadly most c-drama actresses I come across are voiced by a childlike dubbing artist which ruins everything.
But you can try Victoria in the drama 'Luoyang', that was the 1st time I saw her and loved it.

I had the same question, then thought now it'll be easier for me to remember their full names as tang will be common between the 3 lol

no issues. I'll add them as well. I'm still new to j-dramas so there r many that I haven't watched. I watched 'neko zamurai', it was so different and transported me to their world so well, I didn't want it to end lol

if the genre suits you, then try
Miss S
Under the skin
Checkmate

If you search for wuxia c-dramas then there are tons of amazing ones. they are not historical but then they r not modern, so maybe you won't like them...

Thanks for increasing my bookmarks, I added all. Will definitely watch them.

I started the c-drama 'wonderland of love' and as of now both the leads are equally smart and strong. She is so good (but never rude or arrogant) that when the ML falls for her I can totally see it coming. I don't roll my eyes thinking no sane man or woman would fall for her lol

This weekend I'm watching variety shows then back to finishing dramas. Never thought I'll be watching so many dramas and yet so many more to finish lol
I remember watching hypnotic coz of Alen, he is good :D

It's the same in c-dramas as well, the girl/woman will be good at work but lives shabbily. If a man in these dramas can make sure their home doesn't look like a pigsty then don't make FLs live like that -_-
And yea, I figured it out. These are targeted at the female audience so they want to show that there are hot men out there who'll fall for a weird FL, will cook and clean for her and will never fall for the good looking rival girls lol

I like to watch noona romances coz I've only seen older men/younger girls dramas, so it's nice to see a change but the writers don't want to do anything different.

Was this pathetic drama's writer a bully in real life or is it a child's fantasy that a bully will suddenly feel pity for their prey?
Only bullies like to give excuses and hope for their happy ending in life. Reminds me of those toxic lakorns where rape is romance and the rapist ML always has a HE.

The 2nd episode is where I gave up. Kang spreads a rumor about Sai being a pedophile which causes him to lose his job as a tutor, then suddenly he scares off thugs who were bullying Sai and Sai is in his arms. Thailand keeps surprising me but in a bad way. Maybe BL producers think fans are mindless fools who will watch and accept anything they are served as long as their fav actors kiss and cuddle.

I go to MDL page of Immortality every now n then and see our tribe increasing lol

I wish I had powers to take the rights of Immor., and release it. Never thought I'll wait for a drama like this hahaha

I read your review just now and I agree with you. Directors can't do much if the actor is lacking, and then there are times when an editor ruins it all.
Immortality needs to release asap so that I can forget this and move on lol

Camera angles and editing do ruin things but her expressions too were bad. As if she was being forced to do kissing scenes. There are actors who never kiss but their expressions during romantic scenes are so intense that the audience forgets the lack of kissing.

Maybe the producers thought her blind fans will accept it and make excuses for it while the rest of us don't matter. If someone would watch those scenes out of context they would feel the girl was not in love with the guy lol

Did a very young child write this? It is so stupid, it's beyond my belief how such a story got approved in 2023!!
Somehow the producers managed to gather this cast knowing we will keep watching coz of their acting talent. The writing, direction and editing is equally bad. Even fanfictions are better than this.

You will enjoy this crap only if you lower your expectations to a bare minimum or if you have never watched a single drama in your life. I'm so disappointed coz it had all my favs, Dylan Bai and Miles.
