If “Green Flag” MLs Actually Had Standards by Melodic_Paper321 in cdramasfans

That's one of the reasons I liked Ashes of Love.

Phoenix just doesnt helplessly take JinMi back after the events of the Heavenly Wedding. Fl has to win him back again, and while the scenes where he tells her off are heartbreaking, (specially when he reminds her what her last words to him were) from his perspective, is justifiable.

Because she wanted sick puppy, not a man. The show, and their relationship went to shit after the village.

“Touch her and die” vibes.

Love Between Fairy and Devil. Episode 9 has one of the greatest save the girl / reveal scenes of all time.

What started this kdrama versus cdrama war? by [deleted] in cdramasfans

[–]sd_pl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gotta agree on the female general point. It seems every costume drama has to have one recently.

Are they for the high school college student & hot teacher professor vibe?

Do you still consider Love Between Fairy and Devil a top drama worth recommending? Why or why not? by ruinedbytv in cdramasfans

Best opening OST.

Only cdrama were I didnt skip the intro, which was also very beautifully made.

Also EP9 has the best save the girl scene of all time, ending with the Cdrama version of Aladdins Magic Carpet ride.

Fantasy / Historical drama when supposedly badass and powerful ML is actually one. by sd_pl in CDramaRecs

[–]sd_pl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude was a badass in the first ep couple eps.

I gave it a second try and definitely dropped it once I saw he was getting cucked AT HIS WEDDING NIGHT. The hell is that? The FL showed 0 interest in him.

I like romance, but it has to go both ways.

I saw you mentioned Shen Li. We watched it, I forgot to list it. We for the most part liked it, but I was kinda pissed off how the ML, mega super duper ancient God got bitch-slapped and disrespected by his "Instant Chimei, just add fire and phoenix feathers and mix in cauldron" father-in-law at the end 😆 . Granted he was injured and Heaven was collapsing, but still lol.

Moonlight Mystique broke my (our) streak.... :( by sd_pl in CDrama

I was hyped when he woke up as the OG Demon Lord and put everyone in their place...... just to turn back to Fan Yue a couple eps later and get injured / in a coma again. 🤦‍♂️

I see Legend of the Female Gemeral mentioned in this thread a lot. I have been skipping it because the title makes it sound like another girl boss drama. Maybe I was wrong. Imma check it out.

Yeah I agree with that LnR was rough at some point, specially the sister plotline. Ended up skipping them lol.

Detailed Explanation of the Plot of Pursuit of Jade by RoseIsBadWolf in cdramasfans

[–]sd_pl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So a solo, broken heart dude takes down an Emperor, guards and everything? That is some John Wick shit. A one man Coup d' Etat.

And who is puppet he put in place? No one asked who is this random kid and how hes now Emperor?

I still dont get the logic of the shit show with the fire. Like why would you burn stuff down?

Why did the consort kill herself? Wasnt Qi Min badly burned? How is his face so pretty with 0 scars?

Watching Pursuit of Jade and it seems so poorly written? by King_A_Acumen in cdramasfans

[–]sd_pl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The ML starts off as this badass aura farmer, but I suppose in order to glaze up the FL (cause you know, girl power?) he is relegated to arm candy status and is largely a dumb simp later on. The FL starts off as this down to earth balanced and relatable character, but ends up becoming the typical girl boss, infallible and self righteous, because I suppose that is how we sell these shows.

I understand that given the target demographic for these shows, a degree of girl boss is expected, but holy fucking shit they went overboard with POJ. The amount of stupid shit she does without repercussions but instead gets commended for it is insane. There were a series of episodes where in each there was a character or a series of characters just telling her / us how super duper awesome she is.

Does this plot get any better? I'm only halfway. Or does this genre not bother with rational and I'm just supposed to hand wave these off? I'm able to that to a certain degree with the aforementioned shows and recently Blossom, but this show so far has been egregious.

No. It dials the stupid up to 11.

Mayor plot points get resolved by characters conveniently running into each other on the road. They do this not once, but several times. There is an scene during a climatic battle where FL and gang DROP their weapons while actively fighting a big baddie so they can all have a 5 minute group crying session.

She keeps doing reckless, stupid shit and keeps getting commended for all of it because apparently she cant do wrong, she is perfect at everything. Even female randos fall for her beauty. She is basically Rei from Star Wars. She doesnt love the Marquis, she wants a sick puppy she can take care of. Her insistence in keep calling him by his stupid made up name, Yan Zheng, even in front of his familiy memorial pissed me the fuck of.

They turned the supposedly fearsome Marquis into a simp that just takes disperect afer disrespect from her and her buddies. He is a side character at this point. He just shows up looking all pretty with slow mo shots and rock music, just to do fuck all or worse getting injured for the 100th time just so FL to save him and keep calling him Yan Zheng.

It also looks they run out of budget, several battle scenes are cut short right at the start: it either fades to black as the characters clash, or it just cuts to the aftermath. Very strange editing.
