A Drama You'd Better NOT Watch - for Your Own Mental Peace [CC] 

Very well said

I admire her for being able to still watch and enjoy them.

Yes not only that but the cliche about the genres. For example how many wuxia and xianxia dramas they have. For someone who watches too many dramas it could get boring but for all the new c-drama audiences they will be interested since many prefer chinese period dramas beacause of the aesthetics and beautiful sets and styles. Or men in xianxia genres look with ethereal style and flowy wardrobes and many other things for someone who doesn't watch fantasy dramas if I get interested in one andwatch it I won't care at all it could look aesthetically beautiful to me! Since I don't see it in other stuff I watch, but about stupid logic and bad acting no matter what it will always be annoying to me. The thing that her audiences should pay attention to is she reviews these dramas and talks about her opinion as a person who should watch a lot of dramas and it's an overall review. and you can enjoy less if instead of picking your favorite ones of any genre from actors or directors you're interested in, you just watch a lot of them that can get repetitive to you so you get tired of some cliches. that's only annoying for people who watch too many dramas so it's ok for fallowers to hear her reviews and respect it and still enjoy what they're watching, they don't have to quit on what they're like just beacause a RU-vidr said it's shitty 😂. Some commercial movies or comedy movies are also bad if we look at them technically but still when we're not in the mood of something serious to engage in we like watching them.

True. But everything she pointed out was also true. I decided to continue watching it even so. Skip watching mostly though.

How can you sit through 40 episodes of Jun Jiu Ling drama which terribly insults your intelligent and enjoy its illogical and ridiculous plots? SMH.

Is it Jun jiu ling?

@@izadam6389 yup, it is. It’s so stupid i can’t even stand it for more than 1,5 eps

@@ima7333 ahh I just found it on viki so now I know to not watch it

When the ccp legitimises ridiculous plots...

So many childish and ridiculous plots currently airing. I am currently rewatching nirvana in fire for the 10th time

@@majesty1144 HAHA! You are not alone. 😅When I was new to Chinese drama, I would finish it no matter how ridiculous it is. 😅 After watching NIF, my standards really got high.

But this drama was not fully ridiculous (compared to some other highly rated dramas). This drama was beautiful and a fresh breath from the cold stone faced pretty male lead.

same here😂😂😂

Yeah, if you look past the tropes and silly crap it's enjoyable enough.

Chinese dramas have many unbelievable tropes since the first dramas and movies that were produced. I don’t know why Chinese viewers nitpick so much.

😂😂😂 nah, i should stay and watch Korean drama. Even some of them are illogal, but at least the production and acting were great

@@khoirunnisa2801u want good production and acting? Then watch Nirvana in Fire, Rise of The Phoenix, Ruyi Royal Love and many many more. U chose the wrong cdrama if you think all cdrama has zero acting and production

Haha same ^--^ tbh some parts were pretty good! But ofc the nagging parts were pretty bad hehe

Same with me. I saw Peng Xiao Ran, I clicked it. But then passed ep 3, I just cant continue.....not interesting, no logic, awkward looking on the actors and actresses, especially Peng Xiao Ran in the beginning when her face just got changed. I watched Crush instead and got hooked by Wan Peng 🥰🥰🥰. Finished the 24 eps only in 3 days. Now turn to Korean drama Hospital Playlist s02

Who else watched this rant with mouth agape and brows furrowed while chuckling simultaneously and imagining this drama based on her rant? So entertaining!

@@silviacarolina8456 high five, i'm watching Hospital Playlist season 2 too✋😀and I recommend Penthouse just incase you haven't watch yet😉

@@seven-vh4wy haven't seen Penthouse. Maybe after Hospital Playlist, I am on ep 9. Sometimes I reply some scene becoz it is really hillarious. When will chinese dramaland can produce a good story like HP?

Surprisingly , me too girl 😆

same here

I have long come to a conclusion that the reason why bad dramas exist is to allow reviewers to have material to work on.

@@Lululuke1980 you bet at this point

Superman, and those heroes of marvel world, also have lots of fantastical aspects . . .

It is indeed a great drama!

I agreed with you, Jin Han and Peng xiao Ran are good combination, both are acting good i love them.... Can't wait what next episodes❤️✌️

Oh, a little addition: some of the side characters do annoy me very much to the extend i just wanna slap their faces and ask them to shut the f up, but at least they're not lead characters so i don't have to put up with them for too long. 😉

What are some examples you think make the plot barely sensible? I am watching the drama too, and while there are some things that a little ehhh but nothing stand out too much and I'm enjoying this drama a lot. Is my brain too small, why do I miss out on what others are complaining about illogical plot 😭

What platform are you watching it on that is loaded to 18?

@@hanajames440 well, for instances (spoiler): The FL teacher died bcoz he fell of the cliff trying to pick a supposedly very rare medicine, rite? But she just had to leave that rare medicine on his grave. I was like, what did he die for then? Same thing when she almost died to pick the same flower. She just gave it easily to ML bcoz she knew he wanted to give it to her tomb. Hello? You risked your life to pick it, just to leave it on a grave? Then a few days passed, the ML put the flower on her grave supposedly in 2nd lead's private property (it has all his ancestor graves, so it's his family private graveyard), and they were able to sneak in there easily. Not to mention the flower didn't even wither during this whole period. And then the emperor, despite knowing imperial doctor lied about FL's brother disease he still let her cure him. Like, if he wanted the kid dead, why let someone cure him then? The imperial doctor had done a good job not curing him according to his intention rite? Just why???? Also the plague. People from outside the town could easily enter the town without being discovered. I mean, at the town gate there were always guard standing by and you need to verify your indentity before entering and those guards just let them in? Can't they see those pox? I mean like, everyone saw a glimpse and knew right away and those guards didn't? just wow. Oh, let's not forget that doctor Feng case where a group bandit brought a patient with dislocated leg. He fixed the leg, then they just brought him away (not into his clinic!). I mean, don't you usually need further checkup after a bone dislocation? Usually you'd so worried about the patient that you'd at least ask for pain killer right? You just brought the patient home? And the doctor said himself, the bone was broken (not dislocated, but seeing he only fixed the bone to its place then leave him i'll just take that as dislocation). He didn't castrate him, nor he bandaged his broken leg. Just brought him away. Ah, suit yourself buddy. There were so many more. But oh, well.... I can live with those.

@@muum2zoe Youku on youtube. I bought premium member for a month. It's up to 24 now. Supposedly today they will update until 26.

Hahaha, i don't know why the rebirth adaptation novel which i saw the drama always had weird rewrite plotline....

Cause the government forbid any rebirth or transmigation in cdrama, so they have to rewrite the story.

@@gameone5522 why does the government forbid rebirth or transmigration in dramas?

@@ines-oc5mw i don’t know the reason🙏 but maybe that rules kinda good too, cause i think 90% of the web novels that i found and read, all involving rebirth or transmigation 😂 and lots of cdramas now adapted from those novels, so u can imagine how it’d be if all have the same beginning 😂

@@ines-oc5mw To answer your question, China bans all forms of reincarnation/transmigration because it disrespects their history as it spreads "misinformation" of historical time periods. Many Chinese dramas have to past censorship meaning it has to not have certain aspects that could twist Chinese history, they're very keen about it, which is why it takes a long time for dramas to air. Time traveling was a very popular genre in Chinese dramas, (Scarlet Heart, for one is an old house drama with elements of transmigration). The whole fantasy of reincarnation/transmigration into a historical setting (whether fictional or nonfictional) allows people to freely change realities, which has negative implications on it as China doesn't want their history to be seen in a frivolous manner. Hence, why any Chinese dramas adapted from Cnovels with those elements have to be revised completely. Fun fact: Princess Weiyoung's novel has reincarnation in it!

I'm on ep 34 cant wait to finish it. Its quite good from what I've watched so far

Yes! Very enjoyable & funny. 👍

Im going to check this out

I actually like this drama a lot, my whole fam watch it together 😄

Yeah I'm enjoying it. I made fun 9f some scenes in the first episode but after that it's become quite addictive.

What's this drama's name in English?

Throw away logic and it’s a fun love story with a smart female lead and a male lead who is over the top in love and totally lovable . Their chemistry is - chef’s kiss 😘

I doubt you would finish it ...ever. truth or dare is better than this

Me too 🤣

It's a great drama with both heroes being fantasic and smart

👍

Same 🙋‍♀️

me

I enjoy it but I have same rant about it 😂😂😂 but.. just try to ignore the illogical part lol

Same...when the accusation scenes started... I was like.. Nope, this won't happen. I'm someone equipped with basic IQ. A princess accused an emperor in public...and no one do anything... Yeah, right...

From you post I 've got a feeling the novel is much darker and more complicated than the drama)

@@_V_G it kind of is. In the novel the princess sympathizes with the Fang family but is not overly emotionally attached to them. It's only partially translated on novelupdates so I couldn't completely read it but I liked the female lead in the book more. She behaves more like a princess.

ah "plot convenience" very nice description. I think you perfectly captured what i was thinking by saying that.

Mystery Science Theater 3000

What is the English name?

You should watch Goodbye my princess, she is the female lead there and it's one of the best c-dramas

damn!! you have my Idol in your pf😩💗

@@bhagya5596 HAHAHAH HES MINE AS WELL

@@leka9523 omgg !! Then " wang Yibo Fan here💚"

Yes he is

@@LindaTran88 thanks! I just finished Ming Lan and did enjoy it :) but I am not the best with recognizing faces…

@@unwrittenbook those dimples though!!! Lol

@@LindaTran88 ….oh good…dimples…now Uncle Wu from Joy of Life comes to mind…those dimples…XD

If you saw her other rant videos, you will know that she is a little kinder and soft in this video.

She is kinder, much much kinder XD

Me too, i'm at episode 22 and i'm really enjoying it.

She rants too much, every drama can’t be all good and perfect and because she’s not a fan of the genre she rant about it. She did the same about ancient love poetry without even watching to the end or middle. I know there is mistakes about this particular drama but she don’t need to rant about and spoil their work because she don’t like it. The drama is not even complete yet and you are spoiling the drama. Give the drama a shot and judge it yourself.

Agree. I'm enjoying the drama as well.

@@cabrinatrim9115 Absolutely overtime she has turned into a professional ranter and so dismissive that she even dresses for it to empower the ranting with passion🤣 which is entertaining too. But the gaslighting title of the video is misleading too. Dramas are like one man’s meat being another’s poison. Some of us are into performances i.e After Peng Xiaoran ‘s super performance in Goodbye my princess we waited for her to release her next and Jun Han is another powerhouse performer! so many of us were looking forward to their teaming and I’m very happy with their performances. They are versatile and empower the shortcomings of the drama which are irrelevant. Overall i love this drama. Period!

Done watching ep 30👀👀 I finished it eventho it doesn't have english sub💆‍♀️💆‍♀️💆‍♀️✨🔥😹

Some people enjoy good story telling.

I agree I think it’s an enjoyable drama not everything has to be logical. That’s why I like Chinese dramas it’s nothing like real life 🤣 and honestly I prefer it that way. Transport me out of my stressful life into a totally different world. I really like this drama I’ve watched all the episodes even the ones that have no eng subs.

Same here. I just ignored the lightening, and the weird plot at the beggining and enjoy the rest of the story. The pace is pretty fast so I enjoy watching and I wait how all of this will turn out. And Peng Xiaoran's acting is great. The drama itself is not that bad. I've seen plenty worse.

i gave up past ep 5.

Can’t get past the ugly ml

@@114Lazy Define "ugly". I really dislike people that judge other people by their apperances. Just because you are not attracted to him does not mean he is ugly. I'm not attracted to Park Seo Joon yet I don't call him ugly.

Dori1703 ugly as in doesn’t suit the character. Maybe people who aren’t in the Asian community can’t tell but he’s acting in a way that we would call ‘greasy.’ That means that every movement he makes seems to shout ‘ I’m so handsome and I know it!’ It’s very uncomfortable if you immediately recognize signs of it when you start a drama. It’s part of the reason there so little dramas that I enjoy.

The crying scene was pretty endearing to me because it was so messy. Usually it's an artistic single stoic tear in the rain, but this was so more raw.

@@dana8503 Yes, I agree. It was something you truly felt not one to look “beautiful” on screen. Rarely do I see this in dramas.
