Thank you for recommending Love between Fairy and Devil (Cang Lan Separation). I admit after the first two episodes I wasn't convinced. I don't like those sorts of character and setting even if the heroine is "spunky". I'm glad I gave it a second chance. The ML is an amazing actor. The two leads did a splendid job.

I initially couldn't watch Lost Track of Time because the hero seemed too old, and the first episodes seemed so cliched. However, I admit to becoming riveted once the revenge part started. I think the whole rescue scene at the beginning was meant to be a parody. It was, we discover, staged. It's a meta critique on the dashing hero trope and how quickly she falls for it. She's that naive. Jing Chao is a great actor so, frankly, he stole the show whenever he appeared on screen. He really becomes this crazy stalker with a seriously messed up relationship with his dad. Gah! But, he does such a good job that on occasion I felt quite bad for him. Second, her character goes through an interesting arc. She becomes really entangled in her own revenge schemes. She is both a victim and also a perpetrator. Also, I was quite interested in the conflict between merchant control of the waterways v government control. If you build it, do you own it or can the government exercise eminent domain. Also the true male lead has to undergo some of his own 'growing up'. The father is a major jerk! So, all in all, I enjoyed it.

Hi! I luv you! I super enjoy watching your videos 😍. One thing I am very curious about, is of what other people think of those actresses or actors 🤔; ones who I think are not good, not good looking or not suited for certain roles. And yet some producers are trying to shove it down audiences' throats. I know Avenue X has mentioned something about that briefly awhile back. But it would be awesome if she can do a video about it. And give us answers on why a certain actress who can't act, suddenly get so many lead roles lol. Or, do a video on how Untamed fans still can't get over the Untamed!

I‘d like to add on the comments on Unexpected falling: Right now I am on ep 22 and have to agree, that the story telling is really slow - an I love it! For once it is a real life relationship development, not hastily told for the sake of drama. Plus all the characters seem to have their own hidden agenda. I’m curious to see, how this will develop.

And I will go further , there are others I quit in the first episode : Hutong , The long river, Our times, Wild Bloom , not my cup of tea. And some rom-rom that you lose 2 digits in your IQ by watching them.

Unexpected Falling is actually pretty good imo.

Actually the more episodes I watch, the more I like both FL and ML. Plot is also good with lot of surprises and it keeps guessing you who is behind everything. Chemistry between leads is also pretty good 👍

I like Unexpected Falling! I'm at ep 24 at the moment and it definitely gets more gripping as the drama goes on. In the opening episodes (probably the ones that AvenueX watched), the FL is so shocked by grief that she's very 'static' but then turns out to be a brave, smart and resourceful woman. It's a tightly written script and I'm enjoying the twists and turns. That it's not going the way I initially expected it to, is a major plus in my book. Youku's tagline 'widow in love with her rich lawyer' is (purposefully maybe?) rather misleading ... I won't say any more as I don't want to spoiler it for anybody.

I agree. I’m on episode 36 bc I have YOUKU VIP and it’s to me worth sticking through the slow build up. The premise is actually really misleading and it’s one of those dramas where in the end every scene happens for a reason and I appreciate that. The way that the story unfolds feels very “true crime documentary” which I like. Now, I can see if you have like 20 dramas to watch it might be too much. But I’m only ever watching 2-3 at a time.

I got through episode 7 out of 13 before they stopped subbing it. it also features liang jingkang,her costar in run for young. a unique premise as the female lead gets a job at a funeral parlor. lots of interesting stories about her coworkers, the families they work with, etc. entire cast is really good! obviously sad, but very healing as well.

I started Lost Track of Time 2 weeks. I dropped it after a few episodes but I picked it back up. I am glad I decided to give it another chance. So many twists and Jing Chao’s acting is really good. I’ve never seen any of his work before but he has a fan now! He was such a bad guy that I hated his character. The female lead was good as well. The 9th prince was a bit weak but Jing Chao made up for it. So much better than Love Like the Galaxy. Other than the opening theme song LLTG was a waste of my time.

About Winter Night .... I actually enjoyed the way they developed it and watched the whole thing, but I totally get you about the reasons why you quit. It turned out to be more like a "slice of life" drama than anything else ... most of the "drama" was not concentrated on the leads, but rather on developments in their family and friends' lives.... Romantically, I can just warn you that there were TWO entire kiss scenes in the entire thing - one in the first episode, and one in the last. Just a waste of numerous potentially romantic situations ...

So many dramas on waiting list but they didn't released them like Chong zi , Hua Rong , Song of the Moon etc. But I recommend Since I met you- iqiyi drama (short & cute drama).

@@evdv2011 "Luo Yun Xi, born Luo Yi, also known by his English name Leo Luo, is a Chinese actor and singer. He graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy, majoring in ballet." [quoted from My Drama List] The key aspect of his life that IMO influenced him to participate in this drama is that he is from Sichuan, a province in western China that is prone to severe, devastating and life taking earthquakes. [There was one there earlier this year, IIRC] Depending on when and where they occur such earthquakes can take hundreds of thousands of lives. I suspect Yunxi feels personally indebted to and in awe of the rescuers who participate in emergency search and rescue in these circumstances. He would have seen taking this role and an honor and a duty. I also suspect he was less motivated by the romantic aspects of the role he played and more by the actual rescue portrayals.

Unfortunately they did not have one in each episode, so the inbetween was a bad hospital drama, boring lawyer stuff, unnecessary cruelty against the younger sister á la cheap period drama and some DingDingMingMing comic shenanigans. Most characters conflicts were kinda overblown and ridiculuos, but not in the good way. And the two leads aso had the most uninteresting storylines, soo.. dropped.

My recommendation is that you can take a second look at the last drama: My Deepest Dream. In some initial episodes, the structure of time travel is quite vague and easy to be considered as plotholes. However, later on, these holes were gradually filled in in a very fascinating way. the drama genre itself is more crime/mysterious than time travel. Spoil alert: time travel in this drama happens in several different timelines. Whenever the two protagonists travel through time, there will be different events that change the fate of others' lives. There are several criminal cases, including serial killer(s), and time travel turns into a tool used by 2 mains trying to stop those bad events. The drama has more vibe of a crime/mysterious drama than time travel and multiple interesting villains. What interests me the most is that except for the two main characters, the scriptwriter(s) intentionally creates scenes to put the supporting characters across the border of good and evil. Although with my experience of watching detective/crime dramas, the twists seem easy to figure out (the hints from the scriptwriter are quite obvious to recognize the true villain); however, since the main characters are always forced to jump back to the time right before key details about the killers are revealed, it's interesting to watch how the main couple manage in a new situation that suddenly arises without knowing the closed people are friends or enemies.

Managed to finish Winter Night probably bec I also managed to finish Autumn Ballad. Managed to finish My Deepest Dream bec I liked past novel adaptations from the same novel writer. Will try to watch more episodes of Song Of Life bec death is a favorite topic of mine. While waiting for new dramas to start, just watching Obsession and Wild Bloom. Obsession is a procedural and 1st case is rape+murder (ep 1 to ep 5), 2nd case is ep 5 to ep 7 and is a murder case, and there is also a mystery about who killed their old police boss. I usually watch procedurals so I managed to finish Obsession.

The Tampon to makeup removing wipes in Rising Lady might be because a sponsor dropped them so they changed it to not mention them anymore? It's just a guess... But I can understand your reaction. I agree with the reasons you dropped those dramas; I just feel sad for Hu Tong because when they first announced it, it seemed much more promising.

An incident happened during Xi An's lockdown late last year or earlier this year. A lady quarantined in a hotel suddenly had her period but she was unprepared. She claimed the quarantine staff refused to help her. (This was eventually refuted. It did take some time to get her the stuff.) A somewhat well-know 70-something married writer, a man, joined in saying the woman should just hold it in. Online uproar, cultural taboos/prejudices/ignorance concerning menstruation and being female in general... Maybe around summertime this year there was another uproar on Chinese social media about a lady who was caught off guard while on a long-distance train. The train didn't have feminine products for sale. Eventually, a staff member was able to find her such item. The lady asked that with a number of items available for sale on these trains, why no feminine hygiene products? Another online uproar. Plenty in the male gender accused those in the female gender of wanting things for free, demanding special treatment, and/or simply acting "precious" for not "holding it in". I can see the drama wanting to avoid the topic.

I haven't heard of most of the dramas. I have dropped a few of them though after first 1 or 2 eps. like My deepest dream, Hutong, Neuron Surgeons. Lost track of time - I dropped it after 2mins. I have watched Light chaser rescue and Winter Night. I liked Winter Night but not LCR . Even though WN is a bit boring, I can treat it is as lazy light hearted drama. About the chemistry between the leads, its a bit complicated and you need to watch it till the end. Also this might be the only drama where the makers did not try to hide the time travel story like in The day of becoming you or Mr. Bad or The heart of genius, by making it a story within a story. As for LCR, I usually like dramas of LYX or WQ but this one feels like they were forced to act together. Everything in this drama seems superficial.

I dropped Light Chaser Rescue after an episode, I didn't find the build up or design of Luo Yunxi's lawyer character realistic at all. As an attorney myself, it just doesn't make sense that someone who's supposed to be a capable litigation lawyer (he says it himself, "us attorneys either are going to court or preparing for court") somehow has so much time on his hands to do other stuff and still keep on top of his cases

unexpected falling is a slow burn drama. It is very good but it is not for everyone. I'm not skipping any episodes, it leaves me in good suspense. ML & FL have great chemistry, the sexual tension in the latest episodes are palpable. It is not a perfect drama, does have its flaws but I enjoying it so far.

I gave up 3/8 from your list. I couldn't watch `almost lover`. For rising lady I'm a little surprised that they censored part about tampons. There were quite a few lines I was surprised to hear in Chinese drama. I wouldn't say it was amazing drama but I really liked some points that were discussed by 3 ladies and mature conversations they had with their partners

My mom (82) says 胡同 is quite realistic for those days, especially the marketplace scene at the beginning. But, we couldn't finish it because the storyline is too overdone with political propaganda. As for 不期而至, my wife and I patiently watch it just to learn how she would handle life if I suddenly die :). The storyline is not too bad, but the pace is agonizingly slow to fill 38 episodes. 杨壹童 (苏雯) gives an outstanding performance.
