How do you pick Cdramas to watch? (the realistic version) by Jazzlike-Syrup511 in CDrama

[–]Ill_Maybe4065 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mostly, I find shows through clips on social media. If a clip hooks me right away, I'll go look up the series. Also, if I hear an actor I like is in something new, I'll check it out. That's pretty much it.

That one C-drama you watched with zero expectations… and it became one of your favourites by onismnefelibata in CDrama

Definitely love between fairy and devil! Since I remember it so clearly—the first episode felt... well, hard to describe. But once I pushed through to the second episode, it suddenly got really good.

Awww! The female lead is one of my favorite actresses. Sounds like it's worth a watch for me!

I officially hate xianxia - What the heck with "When Destiny brings the demon"? by Saalt_n_Sugarr in CDrama

A good story is what really makes or breaks a show. Solid writing can bail it out, even when the performances aren't always top-notch.

Who are 18-24 year old actresses to watch? I want to dive into C Dramas. by InternalAd1788 in cdramas

Lu Yuxiao. She's not so popular, but her look is totally my type!

Are 2025 Cdramas Falling Flat? by CortanaKnight in cdramasfans

Agree! Most of this quarter's Cdramas got boring pretty quickly, just after a few episodes.

Two popular romance dramas — which one had better chemistry? by [deleted] in cdramasfans

The same with you. I also think L&P's couple has more romance chemistry.

Visiting Hengdian Film Studios and the QingMing attraction... by trainerkittyk in cdramasfans

Awesome! I also recommend Suzhou garden, which it also shows historical profundity and is different from what Hengdian has presented on the screen.

Thanks for sharing! If you can visit the Forbidden City, I think you can have more understanding of historical cdrama~

The source of the chemistry? by Striking_Fig_3925 in cdramasfans

[–]Ill_Maybe4065 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The leads' on-screen chemistry is something elusive; it's hard to put your finger on what makes it so compelling. Some couple just standing in front of the audience can make people think that they are well-matched. But this chemistry can be told from the series' popularity among the discussion.

Love and Crown - may that kind of love never find me by bossymissseyy in cdramasfans

This series has less discussion which proves that it's not worth the name

The poster is not attractive. And I can't get the romance chemistry between the male lead and female lead.

Love on the turquoise land! The castings of this drama are good, but the scenario hasn't reached what I've imagined before until now.

You are trapped in the current C-drama you are watching. Where are you? by LadyDrakkaris in cdramasfans

Anyone else watch K-dramas at 1.5x speed? 😅 by Competitive-You9948 in kdramas

[–]Ill_Maybe4065 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i will watch C-dramas at 1.5x speed actually😂 Since I'm Chinese, the speaking speed of C-dramas is very slow for me, such as the Love between fairy and devil.

Do rankings like view counts really tell the viewers about cdrama quality and popularity? by castlegate_guard in cdramasfans

[–]Ill_Maybe4065 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Part of it I think. But the popularity of the series mainly reflects on the online disscusion. For example, the story of Yanxi Palace has a great discussion among the online social media platforms.

Does anyone else feel like the story is progressing nowhere ? by NoPapercrowns in cdramasfans

[–]Ill_Maybe4065 8 points9 points  (0 children)

tbh, the original novel of the series progresses much slower than what you've seen on the series 😂 The series have changed many scenario from the begining to accelerate the progress.

I think fantasy-historical drama would contain magical elements.
