Diliraba and Yang Yang are just 2 people with unbelievably good looks that when i heard they would be a pairing in a drama i was just blanked for a moment... what a visual blast... they basically satisfied all my visual sensory needs with their chemistry
My favorite couple is Dilreba and Yang Yang in You Are My Glory. Yes they are known for their good looks but it was their great acting and chemistry together that made their feelings so real and touching. Happy New Year everybody!

The Imperial Coroner really was my favourite drama this year, a hidden gem! Man, they really need to make more dramas like that. I agree with what you said about it. I'm so happy to hear they're making a special ep too! It deserves the recognition it's got and more. Thanks! (Edited for spelling)
The Long Ballad in general got me this year and the surprise gem was definitely You Are My Glory. Like you said, they just somehow NAILED it. Definitely find our tastes differ when it comes to period dramas (just give me that crack) and such, but in general I've loved at least coming across your reviews / recommendations and then diving into them myself to see where we differ! Have a happy New Year!
Word of Honor came out when I was going through a rough time and it gave me something to look forward to each week. Watching it live was really fun and I loved all the extra videos you were creating. The Day of Becoming You was another favorite this year.

Are you no longer hurt over your grandfather? Why are you using someone’s face whose name you smeared to the ground for clout? But but what happened to forever anti ZZH because “he took your SHL away” like what you said on Weibo? But but what about the feelings of the whole nation like how you mentioned in your slanderous video?
I absolutely loved Xing Kelei and Mika! I was going through a really, really rough time when I found "You're My Hero" and watching that type of love, honesty, respect, and humor was so healing for me. I love them so much!
I agree with you regarding Word of Honor. It consumed me. I watch C dramas for romance so I was hesitant to watch a “bromance” but little did I know that the relationship between ZZS and WKX would be so much deeper and richer than any other relationship I’ve seen in any other drama. By far the best CP to say the least.

@@108ahah please stay nice. You have no idea what's happening with anye on the Internet and insults are entirely unecessary. AvenueX published a video on the matter that said exactly the same as all the news articles and posts BACK THEN. She can't edit the video anymore so it's pointless to act that stupid.
1. You Are My Glory - Yang Yang ❤️ Dilraba Dilmurat 2. Unforgettable Love - Miles Wei ❤️ Hu Yi Xuan 3. The Day of Becoming You - Zhang Xin Cheng ❤️ Liang Jie!
Where’s the part where you admit that you were wrong about ZZH worshiping at the shrine?? People really have no shame these days. A son and his mother suffered through hell because of people like you that eagerly joined the bandwagon to condemn him without facts. Now the truth is out and you keeping quiet about it after writing a whole epistle before on how the incident was close to home for you. I’m speechless
Word of Honor Supremacy 😎😎😎 I love you for mentioning them, and for putting them as couple no. 1 at that 😭❤️ Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu will forever have a place in my heart 🥺❤️

You are certainly my new best friend. I don’t talk much but love to listen and watch my friends talk especially about Chinese dramas and attired interestingly like the characters) Being Chinese in Australia and desperately trying to connect to my heritage far up north, before I loose it all, takes a lot of effort. Thank you for making it so fun, yet informative. Everything from your dress code to you sneaky smile and suppressed laughter, really makes my day and reminds me of the richness of our culture built over generations. Thank you and God bless you in giving all Overseas Chinese hope, respect and encouragement in your willingness to deliver your commentaries in English, interspersed with Chinese. (Some of us are still trying to improve our pidgin Chinese!) Thank you
Personally, one of my most favourite on screen couples this year has been Bai lu and ren jialun from one and only. Though it was tragic but the way the express their feelings for each other was just so good.
Year late but i stan you I am obsessed with this pair especially the modern version, the way they respect each other flirt each other it feels like they both are legit devoted to each other
Loving the colours of the outfit. I discovered you when watching WoH and have been hooked on your channel ever since. Your insights into the subtleties of that series really enhanced my viewing of it. I don't always agree with your assessment of some drama's but I do appreciate your opinions and I have gone away to watch some you've recommended. (I need to watch Rattan now.) Thank you for keeping me entertained all year and I hope that your 2022 will be fun and filled with good drama's.
Why do I feel avenueX...little bit allergic to beautiful and popular actors? Afraid that if the drama so popular because that their popularity and the fandom not because their hard work? That's became biased. YAMG ...their acting really natural ...sometime we like third wheel... look at the script and plot...if they"re not so handsome and beautiful maybe you praised them a lot.
My top ten lists cute drama CP’s : Once we get married, You are my glory , Dear my diary , My little happiness, You are my hero , Stand by me, The general’s lady , Forever and Ever ,Love is sweet and I have to include unforgettable Love also ! it’s 11 ❤️ Happy new Year 2022 everyone
What can I say about Word of Honor...I was obsessed. From first episode until the last and then the concerts...thanks to it, I had had three very happy months during Covid lockdown.
Fyi, this bixch youtuber is one of them that has been stepping on ZZH(ZZS) while using ZZH to earn money. ZZH is still banned from returning to the entertainment industry and couldn't live his life peacefully now.
My favorite CPs are the ff: 1) Hao Du and Li Leyan in The Long Ballad 2) Yu Tu and Jing Jing in You Are My Glory 3) Si Chen and Xi Xi in Once We Got Married 4) Qiao Yan and Yi Yue in Unforgetabble Love
How can you still use Zhang Zhehan's image after you spread blatant lies about him and referred to him as "it"? At least apologize and rectify your mistakes first, it is normal to make mistakes but if you're a good person you should own up to it. You contributed to destroying his life and now you want to earn $$ from his image and his work? How?
@@ladycarolinacharfuelaneraz8618 bueno, en resumen, todo lo que se dijo de ZZH en agosto, ella lo repitió a gritos; traidor, espía, etc etc. Gracias a ella fue que la mayoría de los internautas internacionales se comieron toda las calumnias en contra de ZZH porque ella las propagó , inventó rumores sobre que la nrta (el ente gubernamental que sí se encarga de vetar artistas, no como capa) lo iba a banear y que ya era seguro porque ella tenía "insiders" pero esto resultó ser mentira ya que la nrta ha sacado como cuatro documentos diciendo que ellos nunca incluyeron a zzh como inmoral ni pidieron su boicot. Además se refirió a él como "it" (eso) en vez de "he" (él), lo cual es bastante cruel. Pero ahora se niega a disculparse aún cuando todas sus mentiras han sido descubiertas

Totally agree! Hao Du and Le Yan are my favorite couple of 2021 too, but I barely cared about the rest of the drama. I watched it mostly because of them. 😃 And again I have so much inspiration about what to watch next 😁 Also because many of those dramas feature my most favorite actors and actresses from China. 🙃
AvenueX, I started watching "The Day of Becoming You" thanks to you! And I love it. It's the first time I watch something with these actors but Zhang Xin Cheng (Jiang Yi) and Liang Jie (Yu Sheng Sheng) are so good together. They acted their own characters and each other's characters super well. I really love how nice, caring and understanding Jiang Yi and Yu Sheng Sheng are to each other. Great story and great writing. Thanks for sharing. 😁
Mine would be main leads in the ff dramas: (in no particular order) A river runs through it Crush Once we get married Dt appledog time You are my glory Forever and ever Moonlight Rainless love in a godless land
One of my favorites from this year was the couple from The Rational Life. Given that they have a 19-year age difference in real life, they had amazing and completely believable chemistry. Their relationship was based on mutual trust and respect for one another, and unlike almost every other noona romance, their characters fell in love with each other because of the people they were. There was no "evening the playing ground" like you normally see (making the woman immature and the man hotheaded but more mature in relationships). Just two regular people who happened to have a big age difference who fell in love.
Hey, Rachel, thanks for mentioning this. I’m going to put this on my watch list. I think I came across this awhile back but didn’t give it a chance because Dylan Wang was the lead. But, your explanation leads me to give it a try.
I can't agree more with The long ballad couple. I loved them even tho I skipped all the princess alone in the wild part. They were the main reason why I finished the drama. And also wanted to point out how beautiful is the hanfu you're wearing. Such a pretty golden yellow, love it!
Fyi, this bixch youtuber has been stepping on ZZH(ZZS) while using ZZH to earn money. ZZH is still banned from returning to entertainment industry and couldn't live his life peacefully.
My wholesome couple of the year is definitely from Imperial Coroner. I watched the Drama twice, just because it is healing my heart. And I will for sure watch it..again and again and again :D Whenever I feel tired. Happy New Year! Looking forward to your reviews next year
hahaha what a shame again to use zzh for your videos, you don't even recognize that you were wrong when judging him and that for people like you he must have lived hell and harassment, it was easy to judge without knowing everything and not even apologizing (not that never again? were you going to talk about zzh on your channel?) ......
Some of my faves were Xing Fei and Daddi Tang from My Little Happiness. Bai Jing Ting and Ma Sichuan from You Are My Hero. The couple from Sunshine of My Life and the couple from The Imperial Coroner
I totally agree with you on Sunshine of My Life couple of Xu Lu and Zhang Han. Great chemistry and her portrayal of a no nonsense girl who is 100% comfortable and secure in herself was really refreshing from the usual dumb, silly and often times immature female leads.
I sooooo agree with your comment for Long Ballad and Imperial Coroner. The second couple in Long Ballad kept me going. I was so depressed with the main couple who are always bedridden. And it was so ridiculous how the characters fighting each other where all in wheelchair/ carriage. The Imperial Coroner is one of my favorite for this year. 🥰
Leyan and Hao Du were what I didn’t know I needed this year. I LOVED that couple. And it was so unexpected. I was way more interested in them than I was with the lead couple. Maybe because they also had more character development?
Nah, I don't think it's that. I mean, they have the classic development, but Changge and Sun also change in the series. I think it's because Leyan and Haodu have more of a dreamy couple story than the OTP. With Changge and Sun, it's all about their individual journeys and problems and how they help each other out. That's why some said it's like a friendship (though I'd say it's just a modern, less fluffy take on love). It's realistic, but that's not really want you dream about when you think of romance haha With Leyan and Haodu, though, it's the typical romance, with the good old damsel in distress, rogue male lead and healthy dose of cheesy (which may be cliché but when well done is pretty cute). I personally liked both couples, but I see why some liked second leads better!
@@gianellab.4953 I detested the second couple of The Long Ballad, they totally ruined the series for me. Especially from what Zhao Lousi did behind the scene to attack Dilireba. Her character was not even in the original work and could be cut off the series without affecting the plot.
@@destinychicshop3206 I preferred Changge and Sun, but I don't think Leyan and Haodu ruined the series. I think fan wars ruined it. These days you can't go on any platform without Lusi fans and Dilraba fans going at it. It's just sad. I like ensemble dramas, in Argentina they do loads of them and people are not at each other's throats arguing about who's best and what not all the time. I don't know what Lusi "said" about Dilraba, and I don't really care. What happens behind the scenes is hard to know for sure for us viewers (lots of rumors, few evidence). I've liked Dilraba's series more than Lusi's series, I've seen her in interviews, doesn't mean I know her better and that she's a better person than Lusi. In any case, whatever happened between them isn't part of the series and has nothing to do with it. I'm here for on-screen drama, not off-screen drama 😂
She is not a professional actress, so She does well in unambitious, kitschy roles and she is cast in such roles. Her latest series is a complete disaster (including on-screen chemistry with ML).
@@drmylanr4794 may i ask why you disagree with me? she is not a professional actress and that is a fact all her characters are the same, her series are practically the same too (rom com) so you disagree because ....???
@@roblox_fan114 first of all, her Profession is an Actress, so doesn't make sense what you're saying. She's also a young actress that has two upcoming anticipated dramas. A lot of actresses have many dramas that are not great in their past, you know why? Because getting main roles isn't easy, so you accept these roles to build on your experiences and get noticed and it's going well for her because she was offered these next two high budget films. I'm going to believe and agree with a well known producer and director in seeing her potential than internet trolls that says the opposite. China film industry, people talk too much shit about actresses for playing similar roles but never says the same about men. Do yeah, I disagree.
Two CPs from YRMG and The Imperial Coroner are really my top c-drama CPs of 2021! They're so lovable!!❤❤Their relationships are healthy and feasible in real life. 2nd CP from The Long Ballad is typical drama trope where naïve and sweet girl fell in love with cold and quiet guy which viewers seems to be sucker for it. No wonder there are many dramas being made with such trope every year. The writers and directors really know what people actually want deep, deep in their hearts even though people may say otherwise. 😂😂
Lmao mentioning WenZhou...I guess your grandfather's sacrifice doesn't mean much now? In August, you were talking about how he sacrificed for his country and how ZZH was wrong and that you won't be mentioning WOH on your channel again. What a joke! I guess money is above all. Family, self respect, everything. 🤣
Suddenly now she won't dream of her grandfather's sacrifice because the money has paid off. Wondering if she can sleep soundly every night? or does she need a psychologist to help out.
Liu Yunning and Zhao Lusi were definitely my favorite cp this year! I loved loved it so much. And the best cp is definitely Wenzhou. On another note I hope everyone here have a really nice year ahead. Happy new year to everyone
I’m hoping for another drama cast lusi and yuning. While i was watching the long ballad, I didn’t know when these two grow on me. I just love their chemistry so mucchh😭🤍
Just discovered your Chinese dramas reaction videos. And I've gotta say... You're absolutely delightful to listen to Avenuex. I truly appreciate your take on dramas. I could never have such deep perspectives on the stories but you give it light and life for me 😍😍😍😍😍
Black sheep has a negative connotation and usually used to set someone apart from a group for being different. The chinese "black horse" has a more similar meaning to the english "underdog", meaning someone unexpected who rises up to the occasion
My top favorite CP for 2021 is from Luoyang~Gao Bingzhu (the 'imperfect' hero) x Wu Siyue (the pure white moonlight). Their love was so heart-wrenching and selfless. Their characters inspired me a lot irl. Most of their cp moments were based off of only eye contact, body language, and minimal lines, but they deliver such a beautiful love story. I am still heart-broken from the last episode.
A Big Thank You for leading me through the jungle of CDrama to so many gems that I enjoyed in the cursèd year of 2021. Keep at it in 2022 as I rely on you for your opinion even when I don't entirely agree, it helps me select from the overwhelming mass of dramas and guides me to the good stuff. Cheers!
I'm so thankful that we could have the word of honor in 2021, it put so much energy and love in my heart for a couple months. now I'm getting down the mountain, but no other CP can Ever give me that kind of belief of love, no resonance, even no feeling towards other CP stories. I'm just not buying them in anyway. The world under the mountain is so pale and dull. I feel my heart could not beating like that anymore or for anyone. What should I do? It's so hard...

Ok so I didn't watch the drama (I heard it was terrible) but I watched a 4-hour video compilation a fan put together for the second lead pair in Miss The Dragon i.e. Xue Qianxun and Qingqing and really enjoyed it. Deng Wei is on my to-watch list, because I think he has great potential. Word of Honor also made me crazy and mental and just really empty and unable to move on for a long time, so the above pair + Danmei novels helped me move on this year. I still don't think I'm fully recovered from WOH and WenZhou's magic spell, but I'm getting there.
Thank you for sharing your list with us. I just wanted to mention 3 dramas and none are from 2021. I just happened to rewatch them again this year. These 3 have special place in my hear. 1- My Love, Enlighted Me. Just love this one. The chemistry was was awesome and the story line is great with strong realistic female lead. 2- Shopping King Louie (kKorean dram) just wonderful, pure and heart warming story, I think I rewatched this 5 or more times, 3- Queen and I, Queen and I is time traveling series. I think if you love romantic, no nonsense jealousy, just simply heart warming, you’d enjoy those 3. I think they are underrated dramas.
One of my favorite couples, aside from the one you already mentioned, was the general and the street busker from the drama Truth or Dare. I love them. They're so cute. Heck, I even saw the drama back to back, skipping to their parts, because I love seeing them.
Yesss, the main couple of The Day of Becoming You was so good - Zhang Xincheng x Liang Jie made me laugh so much and the fact they're both great at delivering romantic scenes (all those kisses, gosh) was the cherry on top for this drama. And I've been meaning to watch the Long Ballad since forever but hesitated a bit because I couldn't imagine Reba x Wu Lei together. I think I need to move it up my list.
@@destinychicshop3206 Yeps I did watch it and I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who likes strong FLs and historical/military cdramas. As for the CPs, I thought Liu Yuning and Zhao Lusi's characters had the more interesting development and chemistry but ultimately it's the storyline and the main characters as a whole that kept me watching, not really the CPs.
I absolutely adore Make A Wish. It was so naturally acted & everything felt so real amidst the fantasy story. Ren You Lun & Gia Ge did a marvellous job portraying their character

And everyone did that from the start and you can't force someone to side with anyone ..and in this video she was talking about zhou zishu here.. Not zzh.. Big difference..
@@castielwinchester6222 she is being different at different platforms. In weibo and twitter, she condemns ZZH, makes hateful comments and curses to him. Her video includes all the false information and she didn't do any fact check, those info are easily assessed at internet outside of China. What's worse is, she purposely misleads her viewers to believe ZZH's action to be much more malicious. The place is actually a tourist attraction spot and being famous for Cherry blossom viewing, and every year during that season there is nearly million of Chinese tourists (yes! tourists from CHINA) go to that spot for cherry blossom. But she deliberately hides this fact and didn't tell. Now all the truth about ZZH incident is revealed (sadly the truth is only revealed outside of China; as they still ban and mute all clarification info and truth of the incident across ALL China internet platforms). I believe she must have seen those info, but she doesn't do any follow-up clarification as well as apology to the mistakes she made to ZZH.

My favorite CPs of the year: 1) Lu Shi Yi and Xia Xiao Ju from A River Runs Through It (My forever favorite CP!) 2) Hao Du and Le Yan from The Long Ballad (Yes, I definitely liked them more than the main couple)
1.Haodu and Leyan( The Long Ballad) was my top CP ever..they got great chemistry and their story was meticulously created. I agree with you.. I care more about their romance than of the lead. 2. Gu Fei and Dong Na(My treasure)- They gave me butterflies esp when Gu Fei stared at her lovingly. 3. Yin Si Chen and Gu Xi Xi( Once We got married)- oh my…just pure chemistry and they are just like a real couple.. love them so much.! 4. Prince An and Ch chu( The Imperial Coroner)- The intelligent and innocent couple.. 👍 5. Zhou Sheng Chen and Shi Yi(One and Only)

I'm really glad that everyone in the comments loving haoyan cp.. they truly were the best cp for me & so unexpected like they literally came out of nowhere lol
Rattan couple seems to be really attracted to each other in real life. I have a feeling they are already dating the way they still held hands half a year after Rattan
Thank you for your work, especially thank you for your will and desire to bring us closer to the culture and traditions of your homeland. I wish you a happy new year and all the best!🥰
I watched Rattan at the beginning and I liked it a bit, but I forgot to continue it. When the drama ends and I knew the ending, I stopped watching. I like Jing Tian because of this drama, tho.. she's so beautiful and elegant. Then, I watch the day of becoming too, but idk why I stopped watching. I think it's because I forgot to continue when the newest episode released. For me, the best cp of Chinese drama this year is Yu Tu and Qiao Jing Jing. Their love are very dear to me. I didn't expect that this couple could beat WenZhou couple in my heart. But YAMG is the only cdrama i rewatched when i need some silent peaceful day and i am grateful for it. And honorary place goes to Forever and Ever. I know that not many people like or even know this couple. I also didn't watch One and Only. But i like their monotone rather boring love story (except from the makjang vibes from the ML family) and their very polite relationship.
Awesome list! I'll definitly have to check some of these dramas out (I usually only stick to Fantasy C-dramas, so that's why I haven't watched many of these)! I watched "Moonlight" simply because I loved both leads, and I agree, the CP didn't disappoint! :D
Ashile Sun and Li Changge FTW. I don't understand the obsession with Hao Du and Leyan. They put me to sleep. Every time I go back to watch TLB, I always fast-forward their parts. Not only was their relationship super cliche, but their bland personalities and bland interactions did little for me. Their interactions consisted of the two of them sharing silent/awkward moments, several mumblings of no real consequences or importance, and Hao Du following Leyan around silently like someone babysitting a child. They also had very little impact and connection to the plot of the story. Like, you could cut them out and it wouldn't make much of any difference to the main plot. They're two of the least important 2nd leads I've ever seen.
I have been binging to these newly discovered videos. so I suspect no one will see what I write, but I had the EXACT same reaction to the CP in the Long Ballad. I felt the same about so many others, and the ones that I haven't seen, I will now want to see. The "pink bubbles" reference made me chuckle in recognition. Thank you for validating my ow feelings! It's like having a friend beside me to watch a favorite movie with! Thank you for your work!
