Listen, please, we love you! YOU! if there is nothing in China's drama land to talk about we will be more than happy hearing you talk about other country's productions!!!!❤❤❤
Yes I just want to hear her talk about anything she's watching
I would even love to hear retro reacts in the event you watched something awhile back and just never reviewed it (like your review of Goodbye My Princess). I love Chinese dramaland, so whatever you'd like to talk about, I will tune in and spend some time with you!
It would be great if she reviews Jdramas
@@sairadha674 or kdramas ... I am currently really enjoying "Miss Night and Day", but any other TV/Film project from lit anywhere would be cool, too
Truest statement I’ve heard in a long time. “This world doesn’t make sense anymore “ that is so deep and speaks to so many things on so many levels. #bizarretimes
I do think The Double was a lot of fun!Not a bad time to re-watch older series.
you could always do an 'if you liked this then watch this' video, or an oldschool recommendations video for the cdrama newbies
It's slow on the K dramas front too. So I am watching The Princess Royal and I am also As Beautiful as You because I like both couples. I some how miss Under The Skin and now watching it. I am hooked. Love it. Looks forward to S2.
Among all the on air dramas mentioned here to date, As Beautiful As You is still the more watchable one.
Let's go Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty S2! (Please don't disappoint me.)
Retaining the original cast is a good start 👌 many sequels in chinese dramaland always have a change of cast n changes the vibes
This bright lipstick with the peach-coloured clothes, what a beautiful look!
I could listen to you talk all day!! Not just about C-dramas, it could be about anything!!
Lost identity is very enjoyable so far…I love the main couple, Johnny Huang is one of the most handsome actors in dramaland , and he can act. The plot is decent and this period has a lot of different interesting stories…
I recently finished rewatching some good old light dramas and some were still good.
1) You are my glory: Very very sweet and the ending was perfect like I loved it more after rewatching it.
2) Forever Love(2020): Still loved it but ended up fast forwarding a lot lol.
3) The love you give me: This was also still good, but I still fast forwarded a lot 😂 especially the bad guy’s scenes.
4) Lighter and Princess: I was actually surprised with how interesting it was from beginning to end, like I never got bored and the osts were still soo good, whiles rewatching it i skipped through a few scenes like the scene where the female lead was like “choose me”, like pls i dont wanna hear her say that again 😂😂, so cringy. And I also unexpectedly cried at some scenes, like when they got their work stolen by that one lady in their college days and the ml and fl had a private conversation, for some reason what the ml was saying was soo real and made me cry a little 😂lol. Also the male lead pissed me off so many times but the one time I was soo over it was when he scolded her in front of the coworkers saying all sort of crap, I was like boy bye 😂. The female lead was also too forgiving, like pls give him at least a little bit of a hard time eh hmm. There were some scenes I found on CZcams that were deleted, like the proposal and it was soo heartwarming and pretty. Overall it was still good.
Also as viewers we knew the Ml liked the Fl but it was not showcased as much in the show. The proposal scene would have been a good way to show at least a little bit of it, so I wonder why they cut it. Lol
Good to have Avenue X to warn us away from boring dramas. It will be nice to have her tell us what old drama to watch during drama droughts like this😅
Sorry, to say but I'm enjoying AS Beautiful AS YOU!!!!! better than all the dramas you compared , too.
You look so fabulous AvenueX! Love the outfit!
Dear AvenueX, thank you... thank you for this episode. Very sad, boiring situation now in Chinese dramaland for sure... this void of quality and stimuli give me the chance to go to old productions and watch them with great pleasure (I did seen so much previous 2019, so I have a lot, a lot to cover..).. Your considerations, observation about ignoring the film Wandering Earth II is sad, and ridiculous, and arrogant, but, as you explained to us, not unusual in these days and also to be expected... the "old" establishment do not want to give space, acknowledgement, and worth to the new ones, to a "better", advanced, cunning and professional way to create stories and visual landscapes and so on. You are a perfect critic and such a insightful historian of Chinese movie and film and dramas... I agree with you, even if this a depressing state of things in China.
I will still give Smile Code a chance. It is based on a popular novel and looks interesting to me. I am excited to see how the directing and cinematography comes out. The director was the director of photography in The Meg 2. Smile Code is his directorial debut as main director. I hope FSM 2 comes out and does better than the first one.
I know c drama is having a bit of lackluster year. I just finished the drama “No time for crime” with Benjamin Yuen taking the baddie role and Joel Chan. HK does excel in its cop/triad/Infernal affairs type of dramas. Although it’s been a while since TVB has had hits, the “Queen of News” and “The Heir to the Throne” with Charmaine Sheh (Raymond Lam, Gallen Lo and other HK veterans) were definitely fast paced dramas that I actually looked forward to binging episodes after episode bc of all the plot twists. I recommend those for people who want to brush up back on their Cantonese skills and enjoy a few new dramas.
I am still waiting for the new Wei Zhe Ming office drama 😢😢
Truly the king of office romance
16:26 Dark Matter was actually published 8 years ago, in 2016... I remember because I read it when it released and loved it. Blake Crouch already has a previous serious that got adapted into a show and iirc he was a screenwriter for that one so it's clear he wrote Dark Matter with the idea that it would be adapted into a film or a tv series.
I was hooked by his "The Wayward Pines Trilogy" then moved on to "Dark Matter" and "Recursion". Still remember that staying up all nights to read the "Pine Trilogy" because I wanted to know what happened in that little town.
I loved your previous video on older classics, could be something to take up time when currently airing shows are disappointing
or there's always donghua! could compare donghua version to cdrama version, like MDZS, Snow Eagle Lord, Battle Through the Heavens, Blood of Youth, etc
looking forward to Smile Code!! linyi n shenyue are such good friends irl n this is their second project together. hope the drama is good🤞
I watched Decoded's trailer! I can understand his accent, but he also spoke in Chinese in the trailer I watched, that was a bit confusing because I kept trying to understand it as English :D oof! ; _ ;
Edit: I've been watching your window on the background change through the seasons, it looks so nice right now! :D I love how green and windy it is
About 10 years ago I started reading Decoded. I got to like page 250 and discovered that a drama existed. Those 250 pages were the first 20 minutes of the drama. 😂 I haven't watched another episode, and I haven't finished the book but it was very good, just difficult to read. I still keep thinking of the plot I've got to read.
I'm a historical drama fan so still watching The Princess Royal. Started Follow Your Heart but not sure I'll keep going because ML looks like a stiff stick and FL is squeaky. So I'm waiting for LYF season two and the next Strange Legend of Tang Dynasty. Anyone have any other drama suggestions that is currently airing?
Yup...I dropped Follow Your Heart and became engrossed in The Princess Royal and The Double.
I haven't started watching FYH, but i read about Huang Ri Ying n Cheng Lei, they seemed make an interesting couple
Thank you for your video.....❤❤❤.....we love you and your opinions are important.....in China's drama land things are like....🙄🙄🙄😖😖😖.......so be well.....❤❤❤Many thanks again.....by the way your outfit is beautiful....
Looking forward to Monday and LYF2 🎉 except for the hurricane 🌀 about to hit Houston 😢
Can't wait "light to night" misding pan yeming in a good drama since day and night, he is unique and fresh actor not casted enough
Let’s goooooo
I'm also being dragged back into the good old American TV shows, started with 9-1-1 Lone Star which the writing despite being as shaky as a sandcastle still manage to pull me in with all their characters.
Some dramas I’m looking forward to:
1. The glory with Chen Duling
2. Huan Yu with Zhang Jingyi and male Zhou Yiran
3. All Rise with He Lan Dou and female Zhou Yiran
I have been watching your videos, and I really enjoy it. Please also do a review of ''How to make millions before grandma dies'', I know it is not a Chinese movie, but it does discuss some of the China-Southeast Asian elements, I really want to see your perspective as a Chinese person.
This May be unrelated but do you know when Tibetan Sea Flower is coming out? Or is it part of the Tomb Raiding ban thing?
Can't wait for you to finish The Elephant is Right Here. I tried ep 1 and it was quite unique.
Do you need to watch Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty Season 1 to watch S2?
The problem is that these production companies are making too many dramas every year. How many unique plot lines can you come up with? Fresh ideas such as The Double, Destined don’t happen often, so we have scenes that are repeated various dramas.
I think the drama As beautiful as you its a good one and I love the actors .....ok we have seen simiral stories so what! People make the difference!
well Tom Cruise her favorite who always plays same character in every movie. so same thing is not always bad.
Regarding Decoded, apart from the accent, the trailer looks quite interesting. Nevertheless can't make predictions about the complete movie. Looks like an awards targetting movie than a box office hit
If you are interested in a rare high quality Jdrama on Disney Plus- i would recommend Gannibal S1 and currently airing Tanabata No Kuni on Disney Plus, both thrillers made from a manga
Who chose the nominees tho?
That's C dramaland for me😅 my 1st lesson was waiting excitedly of Novoland Eagle Flag, then for undisclosed reason, they postponed the broadcast 10 mins bfore promised time😥 after 6 months or more, it was being aired, but i ditched it later, coz i hate the way the story went! (n no enchanting wings in gracious dancing scene of SZE, which is the highlight for me) Recently, my feed on weibo has been flooded with people argumenting whether certain actress has powerful back up to the point of changing the storyline, yes that N E F☝how daunting it is, from the moment they announce to produce one show, anything can happen, scandals, unknown causes, could hinder a show to be aired😭😭😭 just like prisoner of beauty. Btw, i like Princess Royal more than The Double, I admire the way ZJM delivered her dialogues.
Am done watching The Double. What next?😅
In the current contemporary c dramas, I can guess what happens in each and every scene as soon as the scene starts. It is quite embarrasing to watch
I think a lot of C dramas are like the Hallmark dramas they show in the USA in that they all seem to follow a specific formula. Very little imagination seems to go into them. They all seem to have the same general components to the plot. I think I've watched enough of them so that I could write a script that would be just as good as what gets shown now.
No slo en los contemporáneo hasta los de historia y Xianxa es igual de viajes en el tiempo inmortales y hadas las tramas son exactamente iguales
@@lauraopper2571 a combination of hallmark dramas plus wattpad stories😅
@@keyzest8823 Yep....lots of fan fiction in the mix.
Please review Jdramas also.
Baihua should appoint a panel of professional judges to select the short listed nominees and then allow 101 audience members to select the final winner. Otherwise it will only affect the quality of the Awards Ceremony
It doesn't really matter if you know that it's now based on "greed and benefits". The first round is supposedly selected by "cinema managers" based on the film's box office performance, yet some films with higher box office didn't get selected and popular actors in the film scene like Shen Teng was never included.
Then the second round is open public voting, and the third and final round is the 101 "audience members" where there were past controversy of those audience members questioning the Award's committee about why the results differ from their voting and even if they decided to give up on voting for a specific round, the overall voting still adds up to 101 votes. So are the results determined from the start while using "public's opinion" as a cover? Hence don't blame it on the audiences killing the Award's credibility, the Award's committee ruined it themselves.
@@infinite_985 That is why you need a "professional panel of judges", not the theatre managers or public in the initial rounds
@@keyzest8823 Since "public's opinion" is a mere cover, having professional judges or not would not make a difference. Will that same list of nominees look more credible in the public's eye if they were nominated by these "professional judges"? Unless if you think that having "professional judges" will change the list of nominees, well only the Award's committee themselves know the truth to that.
@@infinite_985 these sets of nominees are not credible at all. Previous year, Teng ge got 0 votes and this year not even a nomination. They have put Andy Lau with a group of youngsters with no acting skills comparable to him which looks like a disrespect and whether he wins the award or not, it will be a joke
Oooh Dark Matter sounds like my cuppa tea! I was a huge fan of Fringe.
Looking forward to AND not looking forward to Lost You Forever. Sigh. I need an alternate universe for that one.
Can you please do a product link for your lipstick? I do not mind you getting commission even if you bash YangYang
Shen Yue and Lin Yi 🥰
You’re right about As Beautiful As You. I watched a few episodes - same old stale tropes - very lazy writing. I quit because there’s no point watching if I’m skipping too much
It's a shame about Liu Hoaran such a promising actor, although he's been quite busy, I'm currently watching Breaking Ice.
What happened to him?
@@toki7111 don't know, he seems to have fallen off the radar somehow, but, according to Wikipedia he's still working
I'm finding that I am not enjoying Xu Kai as much anymore. He has, IMHO, gone downhill since "She and Her Perfect Husband". I really loved him in that. But speaking of "Best Choice Ever". I found that his character of being that sharp, stone-faced executive, regressed into a hen-pecked boyfriend. I also noticed that he pretty much disappeared towards the last 1/4 of the drama to give Yang Zi most of the face time. Anyway, I have no desire to watch ABAY either.
I am so down for S2 of "Lost You Forever".
Thank you for your interesting, comprehensve critiques.
Wandering Earth 2 isn't really efficient in its storytelling, 1st half could have been much faster, so I can see why WE2 didn't get nominated for best script. Guo Fan definitely deserves a shoutout for best director though.
Please, don't limit this channel only to Cdrama. That would be a mess, I just like your talks about dramas and hoping that you'll stick to it. Dark Matter, HotD, Heeramandi, and so many Kdramas are worth to be talk about in this channel.
I’m enjoying As Beautiful As You, so I disagree. And you dropped it after 1 ep and decide to judge it as it…. Well it just says how credible you are as a drama “critic”. I’m enjoying the leads and how natural they are with each other.
A literal trash and just another garbage boring drama with nothing new and painfully bad acting, imo.
@@hoho-lm4ju trash drama that’s been #1 since second day of airing. Sure. In your opinion.
Just too many cdramas being dumped for the sunmer. Its a shame.
Am I the only one losing interest in Chinese dramas these days...?
Nope I feel the same. There just doesn't seem to be any originality. All the dramas are interchangeable. ☹
@@jeanneb7989 I have the same thoughts... I'm currently only watching Korean dramas. I don't want to invest too much time in Chinese dramas.
Now I really think it's a waste of time. There are a lot of great Korean dramas that are only half as long
Drama land now is so boring, no effort, i am watching my sweet mobster it is good but c drama is so bad this year
Fantasy romance, period romance, wartime romance, modern day romance.
Same theme, good looking young man and good looking young girl, go round
in circles and reunited again. Romance overkill.
Not a very good example for impressionable teens where they really imagine
in love that life is a bed of roses only to realize that its cleaning up, budgeting
and the make believe now turns into a nightmare. Its really not fair to overdose
the viewers just to keep everyone employed.
Agreed. Such a pity.
painful to watch x with criticism on speaking english with accent. lack of self awareness.
She has an international audience. Will you do subtitles for her if she chooses to speak mandarin??🙄
