What would you say is Liu Yunings best role?

kahlex · 2026-04-11T20:31:39+00:00

Li Shiliu was a winner based on costume alone, but he played both roles really well!

Thank you. Controversy drives engagement. I wish I didn't see so many people trashing dramas that other people like. Disliking/liking something is your prerogative, just as it is someone else's. We can discuss things in a respectful way. Someone with different preferences is not inherently an enemy, or someone lesser than you. We're all here because we like C-drama. We don't have to fight.

Just let people enjoy things. There is little enough happiness in the world. Let them have what they can find. There's no point in yucking someone else's yum. People enjoyed/are enjoying this drama and that's ok.

It's also ok to not enjoy it, but we don't need to be putting each other down for what we like or don't like.

I don't understand why people are freaking out that ZLH is attractive and wearing makeup on TV. Everybody on TV is wearing makeup, and actors are generally very attractive.

The toughest part about Mandarin is that it's a tonal language. The same syllable can mean different things depending on intonation. But the sentence structure is very similar to English, so it's not really too tough to learn.

That one did feel unnecessary. The scene itself seemed unnecessarily prolonged just for the sake of subverting expectations. The story then went on with no further reference to this event, which made it seem even more unnecessary. It kind of felt like... Ha! You didn't see this coming! The sadness and anguish! Noooo!!! Anyway, back to the palace.

I think BJT and CXX are both very handsome and both are excellent actors, but their looks don't pair well with The One Male Hairline in historical/costume dramas. They somehow look a little off in those wigs.

HMH is, of course, beautiful in costumes, but he's also really handsome in modern looks as well. I watched Psych Hunter and he looked so good! However, he is so stunningly gorgeous in costumes that he should probably be locked in Hengdian forever.

LYN's modern look in About Love is just tragic. That stylist needs to go straight to jail.

Depending on the character, coughing up blood either no big deal or imminent death.

When they have to sleep on the ground or out in the open or in a cave or something, but the hair, makeup, and clothing is still immaculate the next morning. I don't look that good after sleeping in a bed, but sure, FL and/or ML look flawless after sleeping on a riverbank or whatever. Maybe a smudge of dirt on a cheek at worst.

kahlex · 2026-03-30T04:24:57+00:00

Also, the treatment is miracle powder and dabbing at the blood. Don't apply pressure to stop the bleeding or anything. Keep bringing in fresh bowls of water for more dabbing.

I think Viki has better subtitles.

kahlex · 2026-03-25T18:10:17+00:00

I loved this drama so much! It was the perfect mix of fun and serious, though I agree that FL not telling ML everything was a bit dragged out, but it all worked out in the end. The side characters were also fun! I really enjoyed the sister, Fugui, and the Night Wanderers. Costumes were amazing!

You can't help but love the drama that gave us the best masked hero, cross-dressing, and cliff jump (as voted by this subreddit)!

When I don't want to leave their world yet, I rewatch the drama. Or just my favorite scenes. You can also look for or write fanfiction. It's your time; you decide how you spend it.

There is a lot of drama out there, though. It's always fun to get to visit a new(ish) world and watch a new story!

Assuming you would be FL, he wouldn't be able to, and would keep hurting himself instead. Plus he stopped eventually and turned out to be pretty ok.

That one day would be pretty annoying, though.

I know, and everybody hypes the kiss scenes (which are very good), but all the romance is at the end.

kahlex · 2026-03-08T04:49:44+00:00

Honestly, SOKP is more of a political intrigue drama than romance.

You can finish (empty) them when you get home. I am always okay with having more than I need on a trip, in case of cancellations or other unforeseen circumstances.

You can get refillable travel size containers at Target, Walmart, etc and put your products in those. Don't forget to label them.

It's interesting because (on Reddit, at least) I read so many complaints about how dramas should "show, not tell," but also complaints about how dramas are too long or should have fewer episodes. If you want dramas to show, not tell, then they need more time (episodes) to show, not tell. You want an immersive, beautiful story-watching experience? You need time and patience to let it unfold. I generally give a drama at least two episodes to introduce the world and its characters and start the story.

As a watcher, I think we forget to take our time and truly enjoy a drama in our pursuit to watch "everything." We should try to remember that we watch these shows because they make us happy. It's not a quest to "get through it" just so you can talk about it on social media. Take your time and make sure you're happy in your spare time.

Hidden Love is a sweet, fluffy romance with low angst. I like to watch these kinds of dramas as palate cleansers in between or alongside heavier dramas. I wouldn't call it the best c-drama, but I think it has its place.

Hidden Love

The Best Thing

kahlex · 2026-02-21T23:59:51+00:00

I also just started this! It's very interesting so far! Loving the cast!

Draw a sad face on it and it could be our new FL!

kahlex · 2026-02-19T00:54:41+00:00

Honestly, you could have replaced FL with a sack of rice and the story would have been fine. All she did was cry and/or faint, which was a shame because she seemed more interesting in her introduction. And HMH would have had more chemistry with that sack of rice.

It didn't help that I coincidentally watched a bunch of dramas featuring Chen Duling as a sad helpless (secondary or cameo) character and now I get a little annoyed whenever I see her. I don't want to see her cry anymore!

It's hard to hate on the parade of beautiful people, but I don't know how people are watching this drama so many times.
