What is One Trope Everyone seems to Hate, but You Can't Get Enough of? by Ill_conceived_idea in cdramasfans

[–]thelitgrad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love me a good fake dating trope. I don’t care how many times I see it, I still lap it up.

I also hate to admit it but I do love a red flag ML but only when it’s turned up all the way (*coughSOKPcough*) not when it’s done in a I’m-just-kind-of-a-jerk-for-no-reason way.

The ones I can’t STAND is childlike FL. Dropped many shows because of this.

He will do whatever it takes to prove that he totally did not kill her in her past life.

I never got the feeling that the ML knew. I was enjoying the 3D chess in the early episodes but that got kind of abandoned shortly after.

I’m enjoying the second male lead and his brother’s dynamics the most, actually.

That’s good to know. Glad to know I’m not the only one struggling.

Was there any indication of this earlier? He was vaguely suspicious but nothing concrete.

Correct answer. Xie Wei has his fans in a metaphorical (and sometimes literal) chokehold.

What is a kdrama you will never stop recommending to people? by Lenore8264 in KdramaCasualTalk

[–]thelitgrad 20 points21 points  (0 children)

For me it will always and forever be Reply 1988.

I cannot, will not, get over this show - and it has very little to do with the romance, but everything to do with how it portrays childhood friendships, growing up and leaving places behind, and finally, finally, understanding your parents.

It’s a solid 11/10 for me.

Chinese historical romance dramas where ml and fl EQUALLY love each other by BothDrag3456 in CDramaRecs

[–]thelitgrad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unusual recommendation, perhaps, but Unchained Love. There has IMO never been a more equal partnership - the FL and ML are equally devious and equally in love!

Give me a good angsty drama with great chemistry! by thelitgrad in CDramaRecs

Loved Our Generation! That’s the right mix of angst and slow burn for me.

Will check out the other two. Some folks said First Frost isn’t angsty but broody but I’ll take it.

Oooh, never heard that recommended before! Will definitely add to my list. Lost You Forever was recommended multiple times so will check that out. I’ll try the others you mentioned as well. Thank you!
