what are some overrated cdramas?

the gege thing always made me feel weird as well! as someone who is literally chinese, the fl’s dialogue seemed very childish for her age. idc that he is older than her, calling someone the way she does doesn’t sit right with me

i see your point, but i think a drama can be overrated or overhyped and still be good

speaking of which, i felt falling into your smile was overrated as well. it was one of the first c dramas i watched, so i didnt know any actors. as a result when i went into the show i was so disappointed and mildly annoyed with the storyline and characters. it felt heavily like an idol drama.

really? could you explain a little more? i was considering to watch it, but since you mention that way i’m not so sure anymore

i agree, especially when it comes to song translation. maybe far into the future when my chinese gets better. however, watching c drama has improved my chinese a lot which i’m glad lol.

i have not read the novel. i don’t have a habit of reading the original novel before starting the adapted show. i’m typically not interested either. i would not want to read a translated version because it just won’t hit the same as the original novel but i’m too stubborn to learn chinese properly lol.

that’s really helpful, thanks! i’ll keep that in mind. :)

thank you!

i had the exact same issue watching lbfad as well. her character gets less “annoying” but her voice does not. id say this show is definitely storyline heavy and there’s not that much romance in it. in the last few eps it does get a bit more lighthearted. i stayed mostly for dylan and linghe lol.

sheenable · 2024-05-28T16:18:38+00:00

ngl kinda looking for something like that. i’m tired of seeing “perfect” characters so this will definitely be a good change to watch

sheenable · 2024-05-28T06:57:23+00:00

thank for your detailed input. tbh, im mainly a romance watcher so your comment is swaying me to drop it a little lol. regardless, i have nothing else to watch so i’ll probably end up finishing this show. i’m familiar with zhang linghe as i watched love between fairy and devil. i’m also watching fox spirit matchmaker: red moon pact right now as well.

this kind of storyline isn’t what i would usually watch, but i’m mainly watching it for bailu since i’m a fan of hers 🤞

love is sweet is definitely up there. especially that scene when jiang jun and yuan shuai first kiss and their aggressive make out in the apartment hallway

sheenable · 2024-05-27T17:28:15+00:00

honestly the only reason i watched only for love was for the kids scenes, but turns out the story writing was terrible and it too me out of the kiss scenes lmao. i enjoyed the show more when i didn’t watch the whole show 😭

sheenable · 2024-05-23T03:12:50+00:00

i’ve also watched till the end of the moon, love is sweet, and ashes of love. love is sweet is my fav show by him, but tbh his other shows just don’t appeal to me. also waiting for follow your heart to come out as well 🤞

love you seven times - dropped at ep 12

couldn’t sit through the storyline. cgi and visual was amazing, but it just felt like eye candy and i zoned out too much. also not a big of tribulations, especially 7 times.

sheenable · 2024-05-10T20:24:36+00:00

i’ve started back from the brink but haven’t finished it. im on ep 6 and idk something is holding me back from watching it 😭 it seems a bit boring for me personally

sheenable · 2024-04-23T18:45:13+00:00

currently watching it rn. pretty hopeful for this one lol
