I've been watching kdramas for many years. And I've watched my plenty share of them. I do know that the romance is done cheesy and sugary, sometimes intentionally cringe too (in highschool dramas etc to make things relatable, light hearted and fluffy). I'm well aware of all these things. And I enjoy all this pretty well too.

But why did the romance in Perfect Crown felt so forced and cringe to me ? It looked strangely awkward. Did anyone else feel the same ?

I'm not even hating. I feel like there's something off about them. I can't put my finger on it. You guys have any idea ?

Who's your favourite villain in cdramas ? Or who's that villain who left a lasting impression on you ?

For me it's :

1. Tantai Jin (Till the End of the Moon) - Cold, ruthless, menacing and vengeful. Yet so tragic and vulnerable. Bound for endless suffering. He left quite an impression on me.

2. Lady Yulou (Prisoner of Beauty) - Highly ambitious, manipulative and scheming. Loved how she always wore a mask to hide her true feelings underneath a fake exterior full of lies to the extreme point.

In most of the shows we watch, we find ourselves losing interest in the romance once the main lead couple gets together. I find myself very little invested in their romance the moment everything is clear and they finally start dating.

Which cdrama pairings had you like this (see photos) even after the “chase” ended ? You would still watch the two of them just being together ?

Drop their names.

What are your favourite types of female leads in cdramas ? What traits do you love the most in female leads ? Who are your favourite female leads ?

My favourite is the type who's smart & capable - either mentally or physically or both, yet is in touch with her feminine side. Soft, gentle and kind.

My favourite FLs are

Manman (Prisoner of beauty) - sharp tongue, clever and intelligent. Can't fight but still very impactful through her sharp mind.

Ming Yi (Love in the clouds) - physically strong, independent, traumatized, has a mind of her own. Still cute, funny, playful and not serious all the time. Feminine. A delicate beauty. 

Fan Changyu (Pursuit of Jade) - Smart, strong, capable, direct, kind, cute. Trying to survive by butchering 🐷. I love her honestly.

I love how they all have rich lives outside of romance too. Female friendships, sisterly bonds etc. as wells as their own personal goals and a way of living life.

So what I mean is that suppose when you're watching a drama, and some secondary/side character (who's not the focus of the show at that point) has their first appearance in the drama. And they catch you off guard, hitting you with their striking aura/visual.

For example mine are

Dai Luwa in Moonlight Mystique - She was so stunning. Such gorgeous styling

Tian Jiarui in My journey to you - He looked very interesting and striking.

Chang Huasen in Veil of shadows - I was like this is the most stunning guy in the show. Why is he appearing in the 19th episode lol.

Situ Ling in Love in the clouds - He looked so cute like a cinnamon roll.

What are some things which ruin your experience of romantic pairings ? It could be anything - big or small, doesn't matter.

As for me, I don't like when there's a visual mismatch between the couple. One looks older than the other. It might sound controversial but this instantly kills most of the chemistry for me. I feel no/little romance.

Example - Fated Hearts (Chen Zheyuan, Li Qin)

Glory (Hou Minghao, Gulinazha)

Love's Ambition (Zhao Lusi) - I can't even bring myself to try this one

Love Beyond the Grave (Dilraba, Chen Feiyu)

Love Between Lines (Lu Yuxiao, Chen Xingxu)

No hate to anyone.

I want the ML and FL to have visual chemistry before coming on to the romantic chemistry.

Note : The images of the dramas are in the same order as names.

I adore Hou Minghao. I've watched quite a few of his dramas now. Who's had the best chemistry with him according to you ? Who do you like him the best visually and chemistry wise ?

Also, is there any other actress you want to see him paired with in future?
