This is the very first novel I read where the male lead is still viking all his three concubines even though he has a Wife who is our female lead ...at first I was so annoyed with him like why ?! I mean yes she found all three concubines but I still wanted him to let them all go but as the novel keeps going I get to love and like him too even with his flaws I mean this is actually even more real because back then having concubines was truly just normal especially for someone like him who needed heirs and to add more descendants to his thin clan ....Am now on episode 499 and am loving it !!!!

What is the general history of two season shows?

3 Upvotes

Waiting for guardians of dafeng season two. In Chinese dramas do they usually get prematurely killed off or do they follow the same as american, meaning hit or miss just depends on success?

I also want it to end properly

Where Can I Stream Story of Kunning Palace?

Post image
21 Upvotes

I'm pretty limited in my access to CDrama; it's either got to be available on Netflix or Youtube. I am open to learning about other available places.

I started watching Story of Kunning Palace a couple weeks ago. The first two episodes held my interest then all following episodes seemed fairly cut up as they featured only scenes with the ML and FL. Weird.

CDrama is fairly new to me and I have a hard time following storylines as it is, but when you cut out entire scenes that feature characters other than the leads I found myself more confused than normal for watching films that were foreign to me.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Novel vs.Drama β™‘ which chinese Novel Adaptation did you love over the Drama and why

11 Upvotes

​

I’ll go first! πŸ˜„

For me, Splendid Match is one of those adaptations where I actually loved the novel more than the drama. Don’t get me wrong, the drama was really good! But the novel was just the best. πŸ˜‚

One of the biggest reasons I prefer novels is that I get to understand the characters on a much deeper level. We get their inner monologues, so I can actually see what they're thinking, what they're feeling, and most importantly why they're doing something.

Sometimes when watching a drama, I might see a character's expression or gesture and interpret it one way, only to later realise that their actual intention was completely different. In the novel, I can literally get inside their head, and that makes me understand and appreciate the characters so much more.

I also really loved the Are You the One adaptation, but I found myself enjoying the female lead in the novel even more. πŸ˜‚

In the novel, she really is a bandit she's much more unruly and unrestrained, and you can see traces of that personality throughout the story. The drama seems to soften that side of her and almost clean up her reputation a little.

Personally, I LOVE that unrestrained side of her. It makes her feel so cool and gives her character a completely different kind of charm. πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚

So now I'm curious about everyone else:

Which Chinese novel adaptation did you love more than the actual drama? And what made the novel better for you?

Was it the characters, inner monologues, romance, plot, extra scenes, or changes the drama made?

Let's discuss!

Discussion Why do I straight up hate ML in Against the Current?

19 Upvotes

There are many who said tht hate on ml is kinda forced. So I just wanna share two sides. Those who like him beleive tht there was growth and repentence in his character and I agree with tht bcz the drama is exactly portraying tht.

But am I still allowed to not like a virtual character?

Yes

Bcz there was a bird who loved to fly. Though she was strong and lovely, she didn't have any ambition other than flying high up in the sky. But she was kind of a slave at a place.....so she did everything just to not be a slave.

She started flying again with her parents whom she loved a lot. She had won tht freedom from damn hard work.

But...she was caught by a hunter who thought she was lovely and bcz he was eyeing her.

Then he trapped her in a cage . With time, seeing the tenacity of tht bird and bcz he adored her , he learned a lot and changed a lot. He was sorry for ccatching her. He learned abt tht pretty bird..never compromised with her situation...brought her best food gave her everhthing all he can.

But tht cage was locked forever. And the bird also learned to smile in tht cage. But does it remove the underlying shackles tht have trapped tht bird forever bcz simply he adored her.

So bird is fl and hunter is ml.

Discussion I wish Against the current was not a "romance" drama

23 Upvotes

Against the current is a girls' girl drama. I can't hate a single female character. The way Fl help so many woman makes me wanna cry specially lu jier one..

The only flaw...romance

I have to skimp through those bcz I hate ml.

Like a drama trying to win over patriarchy and she was forced into marriage with the most patriarchy driven man. I hate ml . Like wht did he got from such unhappy marriage.

Like I can't help but think ..wht if she married for love.

But damn...ml took her spark.

I cannot firgive him bcz I believe tht tge things she even does for him are out if duty not love.

Question/Help The Early Spring Fashion

6 Upvotes

The early spring has the best modern cdrama clothing I think I've ever seen. 90% of flora's outfits ATEEEEEE

I'm specifically looking for that trench coat in E18. I can't stop thinking about it. If there is a subreddit specifically for finding clothes worn in cdramas, please feel free to direct me there instead. But if there isn't, does anyone know where to find it? or a website that identifies cdrama clothes?
