Never say never, but sometimes time just goes by, and you kind of know you are not going to be watching it.

Mines is Eternal Love. I feel the plot might be outdated for my taste. If I started this when I was a new watcher, maybe I would have liked it. Prisoner of Beauty - I feel like I've been over exposed to this with so many edits that I don't have the motivation to start it, I'm also not so intrigued by what I saw. Hidden Love- another drama that I feel I saw too much about online. I also saw a lot of romance clips, and tbh, I was not impressed...so this one is maybe a never. I'm also not a fan of the brothers bestie dating his sister who he knew as a child.

Best for me is the Story of Yanxi Palace and worst is fated hearts.

We talk a lot about visuals and how they can be what draws us into starting a drama, but there are so many actors I wasn’t interested in at first or didn’t think had much charisma until I actually watched them. Their acting and screen presence completely won me over, they just left such a strong impression with their talent and aura.

Yes, these actors are already beautiful, but you know what they say: competence is attractive.Talent and charisma can make an average looking actor very attractive!

Ive seen plenty of gorgeous actors with amazing visuals who became meh to me because their performances didn’t stand out.

My picks: Cheng Lei, Bai Lu, Lu Yuxiao, and my favourite Xiao Zhan. I wasn’t really interested in him until The Untamed completely changed my mind. His performance made me realise how talented he is, and since then he has only continued to impress me with his acting. He is honestly the full package: talent, charisma, and his handsome.

Also want to mention Wang Xingyue and Dilraba, they have gorgeous facecards and are so attractive but it was their performances that impressed me.

I don’t think it suits everyone and it definitely depends how good the wig is BUT I think a good 8/10 times some actors with the white or silver hair character has looked so gorgeous!

My favorites are Li Yunrui (from blossom), Hou Minghao in Love in clouds and fangs of fortune, he looked stunning! Cheng Yi (Vendetta of An and just in general he always seems to rock the white hair, he has got so many dramas with it). Deng Kai (in Pursuit of jade), he just looked marvelous.

So who are some of your favorites, the ones that had you crushing on them!

For me, it’s Lu Yuxiao in my Journey to You. They didn’t even need kiss scenes to sell their chemistry . It was honestly a 10/10. The tension between them through just their eye contact, the way they looked at each other, and even the smallest interactions was so good.

That bathtub scene is a perfect example because there wasn’t even a lot of physical contact despite them being in the water together, but somehow it was still such a memorable steamy scene because their chemistry carried it. They just had this natural connection and matched each other’s energy so well. Even their chemistry during offscreen promos was really fun to watch, which is probably why so many people want to see them in a modern drama together.

​

I ask because it seems like the majority really loved her, and I've read mostly positive reviews. I thought she was good but I will admit I was not completely blown away by her performance which is okay because me not being blown away does not mean it was bad. so I would say 7.5/10. I think Tian Xiwei, in general, is a good actress with a lot of potential. I think Fan Changyu is going to be one of her most loved characters.

Poj - Pursuit of Jade

I don’t know if this happens to anyone else, but after watching a lot of C-dramas, I’ve noticed certain words and phrases just start living rent free in my head 😂 Especially the ones you hear over and over again in dramas. The same happens with kdramas as well.

Some of my favorites are:

Wèishénme!! wèishénme!! (Why why) 😭😂

Wǒ ài nǐ ❤️ (I love you)

Wǒ yào shā le nǐ ( I will kill you....!)☠️

Wǒ míngbái le (I understand) 👌
