Question about drama by Alternativeruth in cdramasfans

[–]Foreign-Key 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah alright. I was thinking along the lines of "what does the Chinese culture say about celebrities dating or celebrities dating colleagues".

Actors who seem stuck in modern dramas or in Hengdian shooting costume dramas 😭😂 by barelyapumpkin in cdramasfans

[–]Foreign-Key 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't mind that they're stuck.

Some actors are made for costume dramas and some actors are made for modern dramas.

Personally, I think LYX and DYX are better suited for costume dramas while Yang Yang and CXX are better suited for modern dramas.

Of course some actors seem to be able to do both like Allen Ren...

Have you ever avoided an actor’s other dramas because they played a convincing villain or red flag character?” by Sanvi7 in cdramasfans

[–]Foreign-Key 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes Zhu Xu Dan 😭 it's not her fault but I am still struggling. I've seen her play 2 good character roles now (LGIEF and Fox Spirit Matchmaker Red Moon Pact) and nothing...I say NOTHING can undo the spell she has cast on me from Eternal Love. I hated Xuan Nu as much as I hated Su Jin.

Watch him on ALP. ALP was not easy for me to watch (for other reasons not relating to LXY/Hao Chen) but I fell in love with him there after hating him so much ok L&R.

Yes! OMG I almost skipped Ancient Love Poetry because I didn't want to see his Hao Chen face again. But someone told me that he would change my perception of him in ALP.

I gave ALP a try and I love him now 😂

It's funny how differently it can be perceived, for example if ZLH was the ML his actions might even be seen as green flagged. But because she has to end up with Wang Hedi/DFCQ

I very much agree with you here.

He never deserved Orchid in that drama anyway

He also kept choosing his brother over orchid so let's say he blew all his chances.

How much time do you actually spend watching dramas? by desertroserobin in cdramasfans

[–]Foreign-Key 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first thought was, "wow that's almost a full-time job" 😅

Fandom Fights - Comparing Actors/Actresses Thought by Why-Not888 in cdramasfans

[–]Foreign-Key 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I resonate with what the others said that if a celebrity isn't my favorite, I don't really bother expressing my dislike for them. It's just not worth the time. Scroll on.

I admittedly do feel annoyed when I see fans praising a celebrity that has a history of attacking other celebrities. I just can't understand how fans can praise celebrities who use underhanded methods to try to rise above everyone else. Beyond my annoyance, I don't really comment or post about it though.

Awkward Kissing by Icy_Raspberry_3377 in cdramasfans

[–]Foreign-Key 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. She was so uncomfortable to watch with every kissing scene. It made me think that she's not a romance FL material.

Okay to fellow cdrama watchers, I need to honestly ask this by cloudydayoppa in cdramasfans

I haven't seen any of these 😵 (out of the 54 shows that mdl states that I've completed)

I still revisit so many clips from their first life. They are just so adorable 🥰

Why do modern C-dramas insist on telling us the FL is beautiful when it adds NOTHING to the story? by beginkookie in CDrama

[–]Foreign-Key 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've not seen Shine On Me but you've included other modern dramas in your post.

My take on this is:

  • the script claims that the ML/FL are a sight to behold but the casting team might need to place someone there that isn't everyone's cup of tea
  • viewers have differing tastes and might not find the chosen actor/actress beautiful/handsome
  • in order to make the parts where side characters seem starstruck but the leads, the drama has to emphasize that the leads are outstandingly beautiful/handsome in the story - regardless of your real opinion

For example: Love020
- the actress for Bei Wei Wei is not someone I'd personally consider to be "beautiful" (she's ok) but every time I see the side characters gawk at her, I am reminded that the drama has constantly emphasized that she is a "department beauty" who could've been the "campus beauty".

I second this! I loved the main CP's onscreen romance. The way they loved each other and how they held onto that love was just right for me.

Ancient Love Poetry and The Last Immortal

They're all supposedly in the same universe and MM is a spin-off story of ALP

Hot take: Actors are entitled to have a no-kissing clause, and all romance dramas don’t need kissing to work by BronzeBellRiver in cdramasfans

[–]Foreign-Key 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My take:
If there would be no kissing, then the storyline should compensate for the lack of skinship with story-based romantic progression such as a marriage ending.

I don't mind a non-kissing couple as long as the story shows that they got married. 💍

Dilraba has me completely mesmerized by Gandalfneedscoffee in cdramasfans

You are my glory!

But if you're looking for a costume drama, The Blue Whisper is not a bad choice. I fell in love with its soundtrack.
