Blossom, Under the Skin 2 ratings/ Love in Pavilion, Filter/ Xu Kai, Tan Jianci, Allen Ren

[@pfk7860]

I find that I always have to google before I start watching any C drama to find out if the ending is a happy or sad one. I don’t start any sad ending dramas. Would help if reviewers mention the type of ending the drama get.

[@peggytanaka8168]

Highly recommend to watch BLOSSOM FINISHED THE DRAMA

[@Adonna2424]

Sad but meaningful or logical endings are fine but I DESPISE when they kill off everyone just to isolate the main couple, make it tragic or create discord between the survivors.

[@tashaonly]

Marcus doesn't review, though, unless you do his Patreon where he might be reviewing some dramas he's watching. Marcus merely gives bootings and ratings.

Blossom well deserved 7.5 rating 👏 thanks for all the update throughout the year have a lovely Christmas and happy new year to all your family and to all your viewers

RE BLOSSOM Finished the drama.Based on my personal opinion, the rating should be 8.5 Cheers for awesome drama time

[@Olga1983]

Wow, I missed you! Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and everyone else in this comment section; we will miss your updates but hope that you and your family have a wonderful holiday season. Personally for me it’s Hanukkah and New Year’s; the first starting the day after Christmas, so our family will be celebrating slightly differently. Finished blossom today and I gave it a 9.5/10. I think it did very very well and an HE finally. I hope the leads get more work as leads in these smart type of dramas in the future. They did a wonderful job. Looking forward to starting guardians when it premieres on the 28th. Thanks for the update on filter. I was actually pretty surprised how late the booting ceremony for the South Bureau happened because it seemed like they’ve been filming for a while and then all of a sudden I saw postings everywhere so as you know that’s already on my watchlist I like that whole tomb-raidery vibe thing; especially from the mysterious Zhang family. UN is still my favorite from that universe. I think blossom’s rating is decent for DB but I definitely think it could’ve been higher as for UTS season two given the schedule I can kind of see why it’s not as high but overall the series is pretty good especially TJC‘s performance; top-notch. I agree with him in regards to the cases of the season. They are very complex and meticulous and there is women empowerment but there’s also other messages that can be brought to different societies. Not just that one. Congratulations to Blossom and Riverside code as well as UTS season two even though I finished blossom, I’m still watching the other two so I’m glad that they all made it into top categories. Thank you for a great update and we will see you on New Year’s Eve! 😊🎉

[@brendalandry6327]

Happy Holidays to you and yours!! I have to say I would flip the DB rating for Under the Skin2 and Blossom. Under the skin is definitely over 7, it's intense and the story lines are bold. As for Blossom, I hear great reviews but I personally can't seem to get into it. I'm sad because I wanted to love it. I am watching Love Song in Winter, one I waited for, and I just finished episode 10 and I fear it's going down a predictable road of spurned love and revenge on the FL by another female. Any hoo, I will continue to watch. I wrote down four dramas you talked about, and hope they will be entertaining. I hope all your viewers have a wonderful holiday season and all are healthy and happy. I sure hope JJ has a wonderful end to this year with his family. JOY

JJ's a bit under the weather, unfortunately. He'll bounce back soon though 💪

Blossom was good all the way through to the end. Filter looks amusing.

[@wildactm1]

Merry Christmas to you and your family Marcus. Hope you had a wonderful Dongzhi with your family. Sad that Blossom has ended, great that the drama is well received in China and internationally. Li YunRui deserves all the praise. Mengziyi was pretty and elegant in the drama. My fav drama for 2024. Hope that the Guardians of Dafeng lives up to the hype.

[@Marcushere]

Happy holidays to you too! 🎄

[@devidevatha]

2024 is not the best year of captivating cdramas for me. Just forced myself to watch many dramas that were engrossing in the beginning & middle, but the momentum fizzled out from the middle of the plot onwards... This was the case (for me) while watching most dramas.

[@binatiwari4215]

Riverside code at qingming festival is really good. I love the comedy and the family of five. The male lead is a fantastic actor.

RCACF is exceptionnally well acted, scripted, and paced: A real pleasure

[@tashaonly]

Blossom definitely deserved that rating and is my #2 drama of the year. Not sure about the synopsis Filter with Tan JianCi. I haven't been able to stomach C-Drama comedy fluff lately. I do like TJC, though, and hope this will be a hit for him since his Go East (West???? LOL gee, I can't remember) was not...memorable. Again, won't be checking out Guardians of Dafeng until I know more. If it's another "entering the game" drama usual shenanigans, eh. Thank you, Marcus, for consistently bringing interesting news C-entertainment news tidbits. I love the updates and enjoy the small bits of melon. You dole out the right amount! Have a great holiday during this Christmas season. Wishing you and your family the best Christmas! And Happy Holidays to all your viewers here too!

[@megumim6795]

hmmmm. social commentary and female empowerment are the two aspects, which this season seemingly tried harder and failed so far. Each case is more flashy 😅but in the end, the outcome is rather shallow and only scratches the surface. If someone explains EVERYTHING apart from solving the problem, it's always not a good sign... That and SY's fantastical abilities made me scratch my head. The blind child case and the opera one were so far my kinda ok cases solely bc of the acting. Still, I'm so happy to see lovely SY and my eye-candy DC again!

I admit that the first series didn't work for me but Love In Pavilion has such a great cast that I do want to check it out

[@Adonna2424]

Same because the idea of someone failing in love with a person they raised as a parent figure feels really gross

[@4seasons216]

I would give Blossom an 8, but still 7.5 for an opening score is not too bad.

[@HoiaPolloia]

I think Blossom may not be so good if you need to read the translation subtitles. Otherwise I don't understand the rave reviews. It was a good drama and did absorb my interest until episode 27, I just lost interest at that point. Probably 7.5 is a correct rating.

[@mmladyblue8]

Blossom is about right. I haven't finished it yet. Half way there. It might get better. XK has lost weight. His face is too thin. Didn't recognized him. Liked him as he was.

Hi Marcus. About Allen ren choose the script. When I’m watching series I don’t care if it will be sad/happy ending. As long as ending is acceptable and logical it’s ok. If it was bad execution for ending just forget it 😂. And watch another one 😊. Thanks for your updates and have a good Monday!!!!!!!!!
