[@kelsryosun]

For me an overseas Chinese, I found voice dubbing annoying when you have watched their interviews where voice is part of personality. Gets worse when dubber’s voice doesn’t match the role. Arrghh how do I explain? In the Untamed XZ and LZ had a good voice dubbers pretty matching. Problem with CDrama is nothing new, same actors, same expressions, same bad kiss scenes, just not engaging.

Guys. No, they don't need to appease the foreign market. The problem is with their movies and dramas they are trying too hard to appease the foreign market. Capitalise in Chinese culture and the intricacies. You have what is probably one of richest cultural histories in the world and the amount of stories that you can incorporate is huge. There is no drought of talent in China they just need to strike with the right script. Use what is there!

[@ratata6720]

So true, many japanese and korean dramas are very localised so the people making them really care and it’s well loved by the audience (slice of life zen jp dramas, reality vs beautiful masks for public kdramas)

[@Rara-ty5of]

True

[@sarroumarbeu6810]

Have consistent writing with compelling elements would most likely help A LOT

[@lorrainepaul5928]

As a non-Chinese speaking foreigner, I find both Chinese and Korean drama to be infinitely more original and innovative than many other countries. I cannot imagine a drama made in the west as engrossing as Nirvana in Fire, Love me if you dare, and the myriad films and dramas that come out from both countries. I don't care about sub-titles, I learnt reading them from an early age, as I had a mother interested in foreign film. Often I become so engrossed in a drama that I am virtually unaware that there are subtitles. I would be horrified if China or Korea changed to 'appease' a foreign market. How bland and uninteresting for all non-Chinese speakers.

[@cleve21ful]

I think China needs a new generation of directors and scriptwriters if they want to expand to foreign markets. I feel 90% are occupied by below average skills staff members.

[@Wdjtekryhsg]

I think the problem is censorship

[@Xia-hu]

@@Wdjtekryhsg nope, you simply cannot blame censorship for shitty stories with no coherence and bad acting. The Untamed is the perfect example that despite censorship you can still adapt an original work in a great way (if we disregard the hideous CGI)

[@iris5304]

Still better than CW writers lol

[@onowhere2653]

Cdrama industry has very little incentive to expand to foreign markets, which is part of the problem. Unlike smaller countries like Korea, Chinese domestic market is the main source of their earnings. Because of cultural/language barriers most Chinese only watch Chinese dramas, especially after the Hallyu ban. As a result, cdramas don't need to compete internationally. It's not like hardware products such as cell phones where Chinese brands have to compete with Apple and Samsung domestically and internationally. My only hope is in Chinese Animation. It will likely be the first C-ent industry to reach top-notch international standard because they have to compete with animation works from Japan and America. Plus, idols are not the main selling point as in cdramas. A bad script in animation will not sell.

[@Wdjtekryhsg]

@@onowhere2653 but they're expanding iqiyi and wetv both promote chinese dramas on facebook, twitter and youtube they really want to go international but china isn't a western ally country like japan and south korea so breaking the western market is unlikely for cdramas not to mention how much the west hates censorship and ongoing cold war between the US and China.

Honestly, I've given up on Cdramas starting...maybe, 5-6 years ago? Things nowadays are just MONOTONOUS--same script, same storylines, same periodic dramas, same tropes about an innocent girl being saved by the man, VOICE DUBBING that continues to run even more rampant... Nothing is original and the quality of acting, production, and CGI is just disappointing at best. I used to LOVE wuxia dramas (I literally grew up with the classics and learned/preserved a lot of my Chinese language and culture through them), but now they're so frankly stupid: the romance is awful, the story is a mess and unoriginal, and the martial arts are fake and so heavily reliant on CGI that it's a crime--not to mention that the CGI itself is AWFUL.

The Bloom of Ruyi's Pavilion is the drama that wasted my time the most this year. I watched it because of the main cast (esp Xu Jiaqi). I loved the supporting couple's storyline, the main actor was ok for me (I will watch him act in his upcoming BL drama with Gong Jun). But the main actress's acting was so bad (XJQ's acting was no better but her character building was ok to watch), I mean her acting had no improvement since her previous works, while her character building here was so annoying, insane and stupid. OK I've watched so many dramas with stupid heroines, I can put up with this, but the thing that caused damage to my brain and heart was the ending of the super handsome supporting male lead aka the main villain: His existence was totally null, everything he schemed and traded for was for nothing, meaningless as it turned him into a miserable and foolish psychopath :)

The deer and the Cauldron was, still is, one of my favorite stories/drama in my childhood. I watch Dicky Cheung's, Huang Xiaoming and the movie with Stephen Chow, all wonderful for me. This 2020 adaptation was so horrible, literally, you can tell by just watching the first episode. How much content they skipped, how much character background they ignored and how inexcusable they built Wei Xiao Bao's character. They also focused so much on the princess to appeal to single partner relationship when half the story is how he meets and marries his wives. Such a great story and here they are, with beautiful girls and a pretty good actor; just messing it all up.

@@hienngo4763 Where should I start...? Firstly, the main actors weren`t convincing in their acting. Usually, I get immersed in the story to the point of forgetting it`s unreal. In other words, I forget that certain actors act as certain characters. As long as I watch good drama, I treat actors as they`re the characters they play until the drama ends. However, it didn`t happen in the "Professional single". Secondly, there was no chemistry between them, no matter what other people say. Thirdly, Aaron Deng portrayed a toxic character, Qin Shen, who was obsessed with possessing Yuan Qiang and not allowing any guy (her best friend from childhood) near her. Excuse me?! That was annoying and really childish. His jealousy was all over the place. The fourth argument is simple: wrong casting. There were exceptions, like e.g Runze Wang, but Hong Shan Shan was a terrible choice. That girl showed only two expressions throughout the series. Nobody in their right mind would call it acting. I think if another girl was chosen as the main lead, then it would be better. I watched another 2 dramas with Ireine Song and she was actually good there.

Nothing beats the 1984 Lu Ding Ji with Andy Lau and Tony Leung for me! And the 2020 is disgusting... I managed to watch half an episode before I cringed and dropped it

[@asc642]

I feel the same way as you

[@Sunshine-ze3lm]

I saw the 1984 version by Tony Leung and Andy Lau and love it! Especially Tony Leung's acting.

[@absolutedi]

Yes! This version had the best casting of the two main male leads.

[@maykendarogawa7600]

Yeess the 1984 version is the best IMO

[@maykendarogawa7600]

@@glbskf350 I watched it when I was young. You can search 'The Duke of Mount Deer 1984' but I don't think it has english sub.

[@leecrooshea8859]

I enjoyed the variety of insults to the different dramas. Will definitely use as a reference for future trash-talk 👍

[@h.a7688]

Ruyi pavilion, the actress make up was way too much and it was obvious how the production was playing dirty, the main actor was not the main at all and she was really bad actress she was painful to watch, I feel sorry for him after his good acting in everyone wants to meet you, though it was bad drama his story and acting was his best

[@telemperor]

Loved the female lead and male lead, hated the crap they kept piling on the pair.

[@lilieshirley395]

I did try watching it but dropped,I loved yanxi palace because the female lead was too strong to be bullied

[@jlrayoan8349]

I didnt finish it cause I can't stand it, JJY is actually a good actress but I didn't like her role in Ruyi

[@Nky076]

Can you compare all the versions of Lu Ding Ji

[@babytae9530]

I'm surprise Dr. Cutie is not on this list lol the male lead looks more like a wax figure than an actor

[@hohlohohlo]

I agree

[@doriannepontez9757]

That drama was horrendous. I can’t believe I tortured myself into watching 3/4 of the episodes. The acting was laughable, the story was laughable too, and the chemistry was quite non-existent between the leads. Huge waste of time

[@lovenessdzotizeyi6311]

Funny I really enjoyed Dr Cutie 🤣🤣🤣

[@honeybunny1of23]

The female lead made up for the Dr. Cutie. She was charming.

[@shuu_priv1865]

I am curious, what drama would you consider best adaptation of The Deer and The Cauldron? I'm was hooked on the plot and wanted to watch this 2020 release, but saw may reviews, yours including, that it was terrible one. So which version would you guys recommend?

[@SuzieSimSG]

Whatever happened to great dramas like the 1st instalment of Nirvana in Fire?

[@raindrop5568]

Symphony's Romance. I only watched it because of Zhang Xincheng. There were things that bothered me like the female lead acting and character, but then again Zhang Xincheng. I can't miss watching him no matter how annoying everything else is

[@estheryang9904]

Others i don't know because I didn't watch but ruyi i totally agree lol what a bad and boring story line drama

[@kdcm6690]

Pretty much agree especially with Xiao Chuo and Ruyi thing. I was wondering if The Wolf was also going to be on this list. I'm thinking the drama is tedious. Long winded script and although people say the acting is good, for me it's all very overdone. They seem to like explaining things a lot. I lost interest I'm afraid.

[@anastasyavie6236]

Kinda disappointed with the wolf. I describe the wolf as "49 episode with Darren Wang". I like seeing his character get ridiculously strong and suddenly so tragic but 49 episodes is totally overdone for the plot. Personally, worth for seeing Darren Wang.

[@bonniebrock5109]

@@anastasyavie6236 Finally someone not gushing over Sean Xiao!! Read the comments sections on The Wolf and it looks like a teenage fan club for Sean. I like him in it but not like a teenage fan does. I actually like The Wolf but only have watched 25 episodes so far.

[@anastasyavie6236]

@@bonniebrock5109 I like him but I don't think he is exceptional. He shines because his character is the good people in this drama but I am not particularly think his acting is the highlights, it's more on the character. It reminds me of his acting in Joy of Life, minus the torture. I haven't read much in the wolf comments section but I did see comment about how bad Bo Wang act because he is mean and how good XZ because he is nice, which is a weird summary for why XZ is better.

[@anadewindt232]

Hey, recently started to watch your videos and I love them. Thank you so much, you answer a question I had for years with the video you did about the doubling in dramas (here was I thinking how odd it was that all the actresses sounded the same 😂). Could you please also tell us what the drama is about in this types of videos? It will help to know the story in order to tell how bad/good it was.

[@norlailaosman8751]

Tq. I really enjoyed your videos 👏👏👏👍😊 v informative 👍

[@azizah3673]

please make a review for good dramas in 2020 too!! also i was so disappointed with nodame c-vers bc the story is so different, there's no chemistry and bad acting, i only watch till ep4 lol.

[@saralucas1]

How do we recommend A movie for you to review

[@herfan1689]

When you said "I will remember them in their other works" it made me think of JiuLiu Overload. I love Bai Lu to pieces but I FAILED to go beyond ep 2. in my mind, she was not in that drama.

[@bonniebrock5109]

I really like Overlord myself.

[@y_88Nrs]

For Jiuliu Overlord, in the beginning i still can enjoy it, but after the truth identity about ML had reveal, it make the storyline after that feel on wrong way. ..

[@noriediores3116]

I finish JiuLiu Overlord.. Its actually good.. I laugh and cry for it. I loved historical drama the most.. So I'm good at handling bad ending.. Gosh, to be honest all of dramas she mention is the drama I watch that I didn't bother finish cause it so boring😂💞

[@PsiChoCybia]

I wanted to finish Ruyi, for the second lead couple, but I realise that I forgot to do that! I have a mydramalist account, and meticulously track my drama, but never even added up Ruyi, as I watched it. When the second lead couple smiles, it's something else. I will have to watch just clips of the second leads, over the final 10 episodes or so.

[@上林-x1z]

Here's the list of few good dramas really worth to watch because of the plot, i hope you can add them to your watchlist. All of these dramas are in youtube with full eng subs. I don't want to be friends with you Romance of Hua Rong Love you like Mountains and Ocean Love and Redemption An oriental odyssey Die Now Missing Persons Here is where I'll discussed each of the drama in detail. 💛 I don't want to be friends with you ( Comedy, romance, school, youth, time travel) 24 eps. • The second best drama for me. At first, i thought of dropping this drama ( I watched it without prior knowledge about the plot and everything) but as i watch it, i found out I just can't stop it. 💛 Romance of Hua Rong (Romance, comedy, historical, pirate) 24 eps The third best drama for me, from the main & supporting actors, plot, to the costume designs. It's really not the usual historical drama which is why i love it. 💛Love you like Mountains and Ocean (Romance, comedy, youth, school) 24 eps. • i hated this drama at first because it made me cry a bucket of tears, but when i rewatch it that i realized, things turned out that way, because from the start it's already part of the plot. 💛Love and redemption (Fantasy, romance, historical, action, adventures ) 59 eps. •This is the best drama ever, every episodes is worth watching. Try this drama out. 💛An oriental odyssey (Fantasy, comedy romance, action) 50 eps • I also have a mixed impression of this drama, it has its issues but overall I enjoyed watching it. 💛Die Now ( Suspense, mystery, sci fi, death game, parallel universe. ) 20 eps • This is also one of the best drama I've ever watched. This drama is for those who love games, mystery liar games. I also think of dropping it at first, but when I reached ep3 or 4 i think, is where the drama gets really interesting that i can't stop watching it. 💛Missing person( Suspense, Thriller, Mystery, Sci Fi) 20 eps. •This drama is the real mystery drama, i can't really guess what's happening. In the end, it left some answers to my questions, but still leave me confused. It still has a season 2 btw which is not yet currently aired. As you can see, i thought of dropping some of this drama at first, but in the end, they caught my attention the most. I recommend you this drama because i really think its worth to watch, not because of the popularity of the drama or the actors, but because of the plot itself. I thought of sharing this because most of the drama I listed are really underrated ( it has really few views when I watched it) and I don't understand why so. I found most of the popular, most loved drama such a waste of time, so all these drama I recommend is really worth it. I'd be really glad if you add them to your watchlist.
