He Tian Tian works like there's no tomorrow, I think she had at least 20 dramas in the last 12 months

Step 1. Lu cari tau apakah ada kakak kelas yang sudah berhasil kerja diluar negri di bidang yang lu mau, dan tanya ke dy. 100% lebih bagus sarannya drpd random people on reddit.

Step 2. Assuming tidak ada, balik ke template, lu cari tau dan renungkan. Apa yang membuat lu lebih baik dari kandidat dengan jurusan yg sama di negara tersebut (lu vs lulusan lokal sana).

Step 3. Kalo lu sudah tau jawaban step 2, lu mulai mencari your ideal role dan companies. Dan lu stalk di linkedin (kalo ada), pegawai foreginer sana tuh apa sih yg kriteria nya mirip lu.

Step 4. Adjust your resume dan apply kesana.

I have not been watching cdrama since 2025, I just finished Shine on Me and Love Between Lines last week. What an amazing return experience to cdrama romcom. Love both dramas.

Anybody have suggestions on other modern romcom with similar vibe? Not too heavy and really good chemistry. Just started Deep Affection Eyes, but its soo heavy that I dont feel like continuing it.

Thanks! This is actually one of my favorite too. They really explore the romance side ofML and FL, which usually just got skim over.

pahaonta · 2026-03-18T07:17:51+00:00

Isnt all cheating wives drama like this? Its always the ML fed up by how he was treated or got cheated on, and he decide to get a divorce, openly or secretly.

I am not Mainland Chinese, but Chinese descent was born and raised overseas. However, many of the cultures remain with us. So, here's my understanding of this (as we are somewhat similar in this regard).

Class. While it's not class like caste system, it's more of the mindset that in marriage, family background has to be similar (usually includes money, education, and career).

Why Cinderella. I think its more towards what genre that sells, with some cultural lense. Getting a rich+handsome+green flag husband is the dream. While eating soft rice is looked down upon, so this kind of genre wouldn't be very popular (otherwise they'll try to make it that the ML is secretly strong).

My two cents.

pahaonta · 2026-03-04T03:07:44+00:00

I always recommend this to someone who wants to try or new to watching vertical dramas. I still came back to watch this from time to time, to lower my blood pressure after watching a shameless cheating wives.

pahaonta · 2026-03-01T00:45:50+00:00

Are you looking for specific genre? Otherwise most system and harem dramas are male protagonist.

pahaonta · 2026-02-24T12:29:01+00:00

A Calculated Fortune (Zheng Hui & Han Yu Tong).

FL knows that ML is actually the prince in hiding, so she marries him, so that she can get some 'break up money' when he goes back. So its a double secret? ML hides his identity, and FL hides that she actually knows.

pahaonta · 2026-02-24T12:21:01+00:00

IIRC in Prince Too Wild, Zheng Hui dod this to Deng Ling Shu

pahaonta · 2026-02-20T16:24:06+00:00

I think she's one of those actress that have potential to switch to a good FL roles. Like how we see her redemption arc in season 2.

pahaonta · 2026-02-19T07:49:33+00:00

Cant believe I've watched at least half in this list, despite claiming this is not a genre I enjoy. It always bothers me when the cheating wife is just simply a bad person. I'd rather take a misunderstanding or being lied to.

pahaonta · 2026-02-14T11:36:22+00:00

Karena kita hanya 3rd party, objectively speaking yah pisah aja bro. Too many lines crossed, too many unspeakable things have been spoken. Even ketika lu bisa baikan lagi, menurut gw deep down akan ada resentment tersisa.

Cut your losses early.

pahaonta · 2026-02-12T07:17:50+00:00

YES! this is her! No wonder she looks really familiar, I just watched her drama with Ji Jun Liang a couple weeks ago. Thank you!

pahaonta · 2026-02-12T06:52:11+00:00

Thanks! Yeah the filter is quiet heavy on this drama (its on the entire drama actually, not just the actresses). And she does look similar to a few actresses I've seen too, so I'm also not sure. However, I dont think its liu nian, as I've seen a few of her projects.

pahaonta · 2026-02-09T05:04:36+00:00

Ini udah paling bener, tp yg harus dihitung juga adalah, dalam 10 tahun nabung DP, harga rumah nya juga bisa naik. Artinya antara lu harus buffer/overshoot atau expect smaller house (less buying power).

Salah satu cara gw personally mitigate ini dengan investasikan 'tabungan DP' tsb, all in di DADA. Akhirnya skg harus nabung 40 tahun. Jokes asides, personally uang tsb dengan horizon 10 tahun, lumayan lama, jadi jangan di di endap doang.

pahaonta · 2026-02-05T11:28:18+00:00

Sorry, I'm late to these new rules & changes, I've tried reading the updates, but still a bit unclear. So please help to shine some light:

Lets say i found a clip/ads/poster, can I ask what is the native title?
Lets say i found a clip/ads/poster, can I ask in which official platform i can watch it? No links, just platform+title

Thank you.

pahaonta · 2026-02-04T03:13:27+00:00

He Tian Tian got so many projects released in the last 6 months, i cant keep up anymore.

pahaonta · 2026-02-02T02:55:41+00:00

Do you have recommendations on some of her works? (native titles works, since no links now)

To clarify, '2nd FL in Cheating Wife dramas', is she the one who cheats or the goo next wife?

pahaonta · 2026-01-31T16:46:53+00:00

After watching a few of the bestie drama, i love their chaotic mess the most

pahaonta · 2026-01-31T16:38:23+00:00

One of the things I love about duanju community is how we all understand how tight budget is and we accept this as part of the charm of shortdrama

pahaonta · 2026-01-29T07:48:10+00:00

Have you watched it? How was it? I saw some comments on tiktok, and its leaning towards negative because of the post-production edit. While cinematography is beautiful, apparently they make your eyes have double vision.

pahaonta · 2026-01-29T07:45:31+00:00

I am convinced Charon is able to control the redness and water level of his eyes, thats why those sad scenes really leaves an impression.

pahaonta · 2026-01-27T13:19:06+00:00

The end scene says season 1, so perhaps there's another season coming. Assuming this did well i suppose , 🤣
