The Most Ridiculous Chinese Drama Moments of 2021! [CC]

[@Ali-cn1du]

"YOU CAN NOT RUN FROM THE POOL OF PEE!" This was the best line from AX of 2021!

[@pikkagtr1942]

Underdog put that on a TShirt

[@catsup27]

I also think it’s so ridiculous how the parent of a main character gets a heart attack whenever something bad happens. Does every single person over the age of 40 have heart problems?

[@aafa83]

IKR? That scenario and the ones where someone's fingers are always cut when picking up broken glasses are so, so, so stupid and tiresome....

[@GreyHippo]

I hated myself for finishing Cute Programmer. What a waste of time. Went from ridiculous to absurd. I am dead about the "pool of pee".

[@ekalewis73]

Me too! I finished it as well although it was trash!

now that's my sign to watch it lol

So glad I dropped it early on!

[@lonemoonsswordapprentice9024]

I was running out of drama so I just turned my brain off 😭

[@zoeyngson7890]

For some reason, I really love watching your rant videos, it's just so honest and I like it. I was also able to pick dramas to watch based on your reviews on them, wherein in that case, I ended up watching Nirvana in Fire and I absolutely love it. On the side note, is there a possibility that you'll make a review video of Ace Troops? I really want to know how you see it because you're so detailed and unbiased. All in all, thank you for this video, it's hilarious and saved a great amount of time of mine, listing the dramas I should avoid. Have a good day.

[@kf4018]

I can't believe Ju JingYi drama scenes didn't make it here, the one where she suddenly appeared in the ML's shower,or the one where her makeup and wardrobe was intact in a huge fire and had the time to make out with the ML during an actual crisis

[@minjilover]

Hahaha I think Avenue X don't dare to insult too much of Ju Jingyi's dramas, her fans are pain in the ass... They are crazy and damn blind loving fans of hers!

[@stantalentstanmonstax]

omg that sounds ridiculous, from which dramas are those moments??

[@corgi00butt78]

I think it is because Avenue X stop watching that ridiculous drama. I'm sure it's on her list of dramas that she wants her time back from.

The “pool of pee” line had me on the floor (seriously, WHAT were the producers thinking?) Also, the physics-defying falling horse! WTF? Did they think ANYONE would see that and just let it go without saying, “The producers are smoking some extreme form of crack?”

That scene from the I'm the years you're the star, where the girl falls off the roof and he guy also jumps off the roof to save her but didn't die, that was hilarious! It seriously made my day, I laughed so much. They should make a new comedy genre like that. I would seriously pay to see that. This is even better than the so called comedies dramas

They have a lot of comedy moments, actually. Or comedy-horror moments. It's not the best drama, but nicely weird?.. 😁👍

[@agungp.2580]

@@pengdubit well, my brain freeze a few seconds after hearing her description. The deletion of that scene really crack me up

[@kdcm6690]

For most of these Chinese plot and scriptwriters and directors it's all about the bottom line. They live in a drama bubble. With a low budget, they're not producing some work of art, they're happy with mediocre that will pass censorship. Churn it out, by the dozen and flood the market with nonsense. Bad publicity is still publicity.

[@lyricoan9646]

I just happened to watch yesterday the episode with the female lead falling from the building in I Am the Years You Are the Stars. I had a laugh but thought it was also very weird with the head sticking above the building while holding onto the ledge. Having watched so many stupid/illogical things in Chinese dramas, my tolerance for such foolishness has become very high. The ones going overboard I quit watching or I skip to the end to watch the ending. I've watched contemporary dramas lately and normal (office) people apparently earns so much money they can spend on high end clothes and accessories.

[@laihonn1733]

A very great rant video. I laughed more at Avenuex reactions, especially toward the end of the videos.

[@MyMy-io7st]

This has got to be the funniest video yet from you...I love all the ridiculous moments you've shared. you should do this more often throughout the year, if not once a year thing. :) Love it! And appreciate all the hard work you put into this (and every other videos).

[@edisonyang3658]

"...the guy came in and it got weird..." is a motto for dramaland. Also "the pool of pee" is basically that adaptation in a nutshell.

[@spandwiches6625]

This might be my favourite video yet. Your impassioned rants are a total delight.

[@jocelyn9146]

I really laughed when I watched Go into your heart, when sheng Jing chu scanned the code, I literally fell into their trap thinking that he is the most intelligent tone

[@Kayenne54]

Any drama, costume, historical or modern, that starts off as female lead "disguising" herself as male always strikes me as ridiculous. Especially as there are obviously boobs on "him". No facial hair for shaving. The voice is feminine. Are men really that dumb that short hair (and often glasses) would indicate "plain male"? Or are there so many males who look girly that it's hard for guys to tell? The only series which came even close to being believable (mostly because of the actress) was "Oh My General" which isn't from 2021 of course. She projected a male energy, and the lead male projected a female energy and I thought it was a very clever tongue in cheek series that I enjoyed and it was relatively believable that she could have been thought a male, full kitted out in armour. As soon as the storyline goes "female pretending to be male" I've pretty much lost interest, particularly when the male lead is supposed to be leagues ahead of her in intelligence. Uh huh.

[@bonitaberger3112]

I keep saying. No adams apple! When i rant about these lame dramas. I hate all the girls passing as guys complete with makeup on them. Refuse to buy it. Only exception was love in between..

[@yang_er]

The last one, oh god ohhh god. This video has me rolling on the ground laughing

[@kyizinthant6097]

[@Aam2008mui]

Weaving the take of love was ridiculous starting the first two episodes. How can she disguise herself as a boy with all those heavy make up? What is wrong with all these producers making drama that doesn't make sense?

[@user-rob-greeneye]

I mean, this video is amazing in every way and made me laugh so hard, but I MESMERIZED by the way you handling the fan. I would watch video just with that :D Dear AvenueX, I almost just discovered you and I only watched BL Chinese dramas so far, but still, you one of the people who made my year. Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your patience and ability to persevere through the hard times. May next year be lighter and brighter for you!

You're missing the prevalent plots involving a Strong Capable Woman who will suddenly become an idiot for no reason at all. Cdramaland in 2021 is also inundated by such typical storyline.

[@hika8298]

[@lauriecraig2760]

This was awesome! Thank you for laughing with me! Love ❤️ from Canada!

[@Lululuke1980]

有菲，some aged female actress used a fake leg in the martial fighting rotating scene. It wants to show the actress can do splits, figure skating type of rotation, upside down, and in the air like a top, and the other leg chops up enemies like a food processor blade. That was the worst for me .

[@vuthvichra8379]

[@sigyul2283]

(Un)fortunately I watched none of the dramas in this rant. But I laughed so hard with your description/introduction of these scenes. The mental imagery is just too laughable, coupled with your comments, jackpot!

[@TylPhumin]

Transmigrating through toilet flush... reminds me of one of my favorites: Kyou Kara Maou! Also, falling in Chinese Dramaland is unrealistic 99/100 times. They always make them go (slo mo) falling with their back first. But when falling, one will fall with their head first, as it's the heaviest.. then again... i often question the inside of MCs head... hmh

[@ruuyin6586]

may be empty that's why they're acting illogically

[@bednayalisa]

OMG. OMG again! You are not only great storyteller, but absolutely fantastic actress! Happy New Year! Let tne new one bring to you more good and less ridiculous Chinese dramas.

Cute Programer is not only one of the worst dramas I watched this year, but also one of the worst I've ever seen. I couldn't even finish it. I had maybe three episodes left when I reached my breaking point. My biggest problem with it was the Female Lead herself. She is toxic, problematic. She makes me angry. I can't stand her!

[@SangSang-qm9xv]

I started and couldn't carry on😂

[@ravenlenore2296]

@@SangSang-qm9xv At least you left when you did. The reason I stayed as long as I did was because I'm a fan of the male lead. Now I know that if I don't like the drama, if I'm not enjoying it, then I shouldn't watch it no matter how much I like the actor.

[@minjilover]

Can Avenue X also collate a list of quality and unexpected good dramas before 2021 really ends?

[@maryannrondinella5680]

Great rant video. But even prestige C dramas have absurd tropes. For example, in "The Last Goodbye to Mama," the male lead, a university student who isn't idol-gorgeous, gets conned into a fake modeling contract. He goes on a job to Tokyo, a city of 15 plus million people, and runs into his mother's Japanese former co-worker and boyfriend in a tiny neighborhood cafe. They haven't seen each other in 15 years, don't recognize each other, but the older man treats him kindly. The "chance encounters" in huge cities is a ridiculous plot device, but especially egregious in an otherwise quality show.

[@Kayenne54]

Real life is actually more absurd. I recall these people telling me they travelled from Australia to New York (many years ago now) and as they were waiting on the platform to take a train, they saw their NEIGHBOURS from home (who lived a little way down the street) standing right next to them. Amazed greetings were exchanged, they took their train and didn't see neighbours again until their trip finished. So it is entirely possible, but in the real life story, nothing else happened. It was just weird and bizarre and that was it. I was travelling with a friend, our vehicle broke down on the side of the highway hundreds of miles from our starting point, and while waiting for road side assistance, at least 3 different car loads of people went past whom either my companion or I knew. Just acquaintances, who made sure we were okay, but I'll never forget how weird it was. I didn't come from a huge city, but you can bet it was all around town what happened to me before I even got back home. I've even had a few people say they were hitch hiking around Europe or India and met people they knew from back home. Real life is stranger than fiction.

[@maryannrondinella5680]

Having visited Tokyo twice as an adult, I can attest the tiny neighborhood restaurants on narrow side streets are not frequented by foreigners. (They are also disappearing due to high rents.) That a Chinese visitor could stumble into one of these joints and run into his mom's old boyfriend who happens to speak a little fractured Mandarin isn't likely. Maybe a busy Ginza night club or the now ubiquitous coffee shops popular with foreigners...And this unlikely encounter did nothing to advance the plot.

[@mykrt8541]

@@Kayenne54 all these happened in my summer trip long ago: when touring Japan in my 20s, ran into someone who was a cousin of an elementary school classmate from across the ocean; checking out a shoe store in Hong Kong and another former elementary school classmate was shopping in the same store. Bumped into a friend from canada on her honeymoon at a big HK hotel crowded with hundreds of tourists.

[@laihonn1733]

I finished "The Last Goodbye to Mama" and I wouldn't categorized it as prestige c-drama. There were so many tropey and convenience plot devices, the one where she needs money and magically got it from the ex-boyfriend is one of the few and what you metioned. It took me out of so many scenes

Don’t they go through or process each scene? I’ve watched some bts videos and the actors are always discussing issues and motivations…am I wrong? (Listening to you I see that maybe I’m not!)

It may not be a 2021 drama but the most ridiculous moment for me in 2021 was watching ‘Love of a thousand Years’ where some cancelled actress’s face was edited post production into this creepy 👽 cgi face because of her controversy or something 🙆🏾‍♀️ It was so awkward but I guess they did what they had to do in short notice.
