So I’ve been wanting to watch stay with me BUT the ending to season one is horrible.. does anyone know where I can at least read novel 2? If not can someone explain what happens after the season one ending please 🤧

So, I have just finished the Drama and I need to talk about it....

​

-Acting: 8/10

My favorite actor would be Xia Zhiguang (Ruan Lanzhu). I didn't even know he was originally an idol since his acting was always on point, but, overall everyone was quite decent. I cried when I needed to and laughed when I should.

​

-Plot: 9.5/10

Definitely one of the dramas that would be stuck in my head for a while, the plot is great, but what was even greater was the plot twists....

I also appreciated how the games were depicted, I truly felt like part of it, even went an extra mile to search for clues before every door. (Not to mention, learned a lot of different legends/events).

-Direction: 7/10

The drama needed a lot of work given that most of the doors were based on fictional realms ... overall I wasn't mad or judging while watching, but, they could have been... better?!?!?!

-Graphics: 6/10

This is somehow related to my last point, but I needed to stress on this one separately cause I felt like I would take a lot of point from the direction when it was great if it weren't for the graphics and some minor mistakes.

C-drama creators overall have a major problem with their graphics for me, other than MJTY I don't think any of the ones I watch would pass the 7 out of 10 rate. Being fair, this one is considered decent compared to most of what I have watched

-Enjoyment: 9:10

I think I already made it clear enough that I did like it...

However, unlike a lot of people I like that the drama was not BL, and this does NOT by any means I am against BL, I just think it was better shown with the brotherhood/friends dynamics.

From what I read in the novel the main character (Ling Jiushi) didn't develop or grow as much in the novel like he did in the drama. And for me that would have been a problem cause for the ending to make sense he needed that development.

In the drama Ling Jiushi wasn't the sub in-need of protection, but rather an equal friend whom with experience became fit enough to be Ruan's partner in the final challenge.

So, while things were rather spicy I appreciated the approach of the drama more

-Ending....

Unlike people who were arguing about it being happy or sad...

1st I think it's quite realistic and goes well with the plots, so, I wouldn't consider it a bad ending.

With that being said.... why did they have to say Ling Jiushi managed to enter the game again (30/50) years later and not 1 year later just like the novel? It felt like it was taken out of titanic TBH XD... Like dude, 1 year was more than perfect... okay make it 5, but why 30/50? Ha... like is there a point I am stupid enough to find?

​

2nd I felt like the last door was a bit rushed.... I needed it to be one hell of a nerve-wrecking challenge that suppressed the previous doors, it was rather disappointing, it really felt like that had two days to wrap the whole thing and so they did, and tbh this drama was good all the way that it needed better final challenge.

Other than this, I totally recommend it and give the drama (8.5/10 overall)

​

The FL falls for the cute guy which absolutely makes sense we would all have but the main character is a no. Red flag isn't enough he is a prvet and an assulter. There is no way the girl still interacts with the guy despite the attempted rape episode. I'd expect the girl to be traumatized enough why is she getting drunk around him again???? Doesn't she have a sense of security. The ML would do that again if given a chance her naivety is off putting if I make it to the end my brain cells will be too damaged.

What are some CDramas whose English titles are mildly (and amusingly) inappropriate?

I personally don’t think my pick can be beat, but let’s see what y’all come up with.

If you're looking for Chinese dramas, please post your request at r/CDramaRecs**, our sister subreddit exclusively created for Chinese drama recommendations.**

But first, here's a quick guide on how to make the requests:

First, use the search function

Before posting your request, search r/Cdrama for what you're looking for.

We get a lot of "drama like" requests, especially for dramas like Hidden Love, Love Between Fairy and Devil, Till the End of the Moon.

So, search for "Dramas like [name of drama]" you will find a lot of results.

For popular dramas like these, we'd recommend that you use the search function.

Tips on writing a good drama rec request

Tip #1: Write a good title and ensure it contains your criteria

Good:

• Can you recommend me a drama to watch with my grandma?
• I need a drama that has a strong female lead, lots of good fighting scenes and gorgeous cinematography

Not great:

• Cdrama pls
• I am bored
• Xianxia recs?

Tip #2: Ensure that your body contains the following information.

Note: You do not have to list ALL of these items, but at least tell us what genre and what you are looking for. It's even more helpful if you list dramas that you've watched.

Too often, we get low effort requests where the title of the post is just "Cdramas pls" and the body text is something vague like "I need more to watch" or "I just finished watching a CDrama and want more". That's too little information for us to go by, and unfortunately, this is a favourite tactic of spammers to increase their karma, so please don't do this. Posts like these will be removed.

Please ensure your body text contains some of the following:

• Genre: Costume / Republican / Modern / Romance / Historical etc
• What criteria are you looking for? For eg: A particular plot/'something like [drama name]', trope, actor/actress/couple? ("A drama starring Cheng Yi" or "A story with a Romeo & Juliet plot")
• What other elements in the drama you would like / you don't mind / you don't want at all? (For example: "No love triangles!")
• List dramas you've already watched that might fit what you're looking for so people don't recommend it again. (For example: "I've already watched Hidden Love but anything like that would be great.")
• Alternatively, list dramas that you do not want to be recommended (For eg: "But please, don't recommend me palace harem dramas like Yanxi Palace!"

Here are examples of good drama recommendation requests:

• Darker romance recommendations?
• Recommendations for Dramas with Cross Dressing Woman?
• Any recommendations of Romance C-Drama from from Male Prospective please.
• Recommendations for fun, healthy love stories

Hope it's all clear! Now, head over to r/CDramaRecs!

This weekly post is a space for you to discuss Chinese celebrity culture, anything relating to the production or development of shows, and paratextual materials (i.e. comments about webnovel/IP authors and developers, etc.) From events that are blowing up on Twitter or Weibo, to speculations and off-topic comments relating to the cdrama industry, feel free to put them here!

If you are discussing plot points or events that others may not yet have watched, please make sure to use spoiler tags.

Hi everyone! Would anyone happen to know how to figure out which countries / regions a specific drama is available in (or is it just through trial and error)? Or is there any country, aside from China, that has most dramas available? Unfortunately, there are dramas that I really like to watch, but are not available in my country :(

Specifically, I use IQIYI, WeTV, and MGTV!

I saw some comments here that vpn can be used before logging in when the episode is already playing, and it worked in IQIYI when i tried. Though, i’d like to ask if this needs to be done per episode? because when i tried it, it only finished one episode, then everything became unavailable again. So I will have to repeat the same process of starting an episode before logging onto my account? (sadly, the drama is vip so I have no choice but to login)

Thank you!

Lighter and Princess...huh...maybe 4th or 5th re-watch!? indeed wanted to time to forgot the series...so that feel fresh...but even after 4th/5th watch makes me smile heartily... especially during their flirtationship...not going to write a lot...just wanted to share a few words...

What is, in your opinion, the best romantic comedy in CDrama? The perfect Rom-com needs to have great chemistry between the leads, hilarious set ups/situations and excellent delivery from the cast, it’s not easy. But when it’s done right, it can be so entertaining. You can pick different ones for Modern and Costume/Historical.

For me, it’s Moonlight (Esther Yu, Ryan Ding) and The Romance of Tiger and Rose (Zhao Lusi, Ryan Ding). Yes this is a Ryan Ding themed list. But I really think he is amazing in comedic roles. His timing and facial expressions really suit the genre.

Tell me your faves below!

You know in those short vertical dramas, like on YouTube, why do they call the male lead Uncle in the title. Also, in the subtitles the female lead addresses him as Uncle? It sounds kind of creepy. For my peace of mind what is the real translation?

Where to start. Folks, if you haven’t watched it yet, do yourself a favor and give it a go. Hands down one of the best dramas to come out of 2024 and probably my top drama of all time. It has everything! Found family, actual family, strong women, romance, action! Betrayal, intrigue! Plot twists!! And SUCH sweet moments. It was just SO GOOOOOD. Also plenty of attractive men, and then crazy plot twists again! I just loved it. If anyone has any recs for something else for me to watch and/or read with the same dynamics as badass super smart and brave heroine and her super strong unbeatable and steady partner just like Hua Zhi and Gu Yanxi PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I am already going through withdrawals😭😭😭 like where do I go from here. This drama had literally everything so well I don’t even know what could compare.

Hello cdrama fans, please help me understand. I have just finished watching mini series A Tale of Love and Loyalty and feel as if there is something missing. Why the sequence of A Tale of Love and Loyalty is so messed up? Why didn't they start with episode 19&20 and then continued? Are they planning on season 2? I need a closure for ML and FL because their open ended episode 18 doesn't do justice to their own screen chemistry.

This is a weekly guide on how to access content on the r/CDrama sidebar menu.

Navigating and finding the sidebar

On desktop, it's pretty easy to find it - it's on the right. Just scroll down and you'll see the menu and various sidebar widgets.

On mobile, under the header, you should be able to see "See more" (on iOS, you will see "See community info" or with some cases "About" on Safari.) Click this and scroll down.

You can also find some of these posts pinned when you sort the sub via what's "Hot". However, as things come unpinned all the time, and there's only the option to pin two posts at a time, we'd suggest that you use the sidebar buttons instead to navigate to the posts.

As asked above, which one would you choose and why? I need some help deciding what to watch, and they are all long dramas. I’m okay with spoilers.

its a martial arts / wuxia type drama.

all I remember is there was a house of sort where the attic? is a library. there lived a fuzi / an elderly. just infront of the house is a sea where theres a a jail or someone that is being chained to the bottom of the seabed. I do remember him getting out and helped the ML with his martial art skills? i think there were 2 more characters with high level of martial arts who are mentoring the ML as well.. *iirc the ML and the elderly enjoys playing chess together.

my memory is so foggy i only remember vaguely.. if anyone can help figure out this show pls help!

I am on episode 8 of "Just You" (Taiwanese, hope it is still ok to ask on this page) and around the 1 hour mark the English subtitles are suddenly super out of synch. They are appearing way ahead of the spoken dialogue, which makes it really confusing when trying to watch and read at the same time. I was just wondering if anyone else had had this issue on Viki, and if they had any tips for fixing it?

I have tried refreshing and closing/re-opening the episode, as well as turning subtitles on and off. I also skipped several minutes ahead and they were still really out of synch.

Who’s your favourite CDrama pet? Yes CGI ones from Xianxia count lmao.

I’m currently rewatching Moonlight and Er Gou is so adorable and has so many great scenes with Ryan Ding.

My other fave is the purple turtle from Immortal Samsara, pre-human phase. 🤣

Please tell me your favourite CDrama pets below!

So I'm a costume drama(historical/xianxia/wuxia) type of person and I cannot really go into modern ones. (I've tried some but my drop rate is higher the the historical ones). And now I find myself waiting for a new cool drama to appear so I have to pick from my list of what remained unseen.

So if you were me what would you pick ( also if have any other suggestions -just leave it in the comments):

-Lost Love in Time

-Listening Snow Tower

-Gone with the Rain

-Hard to find

-Legend of the Phoenix

-Handsome siblings

-Weaving a tale of love( I tried a couple of episodes but I disliked the fact that the FL was smarter in the childhood and when she grew she lost all the brain power :)))) - does it get any better ? )

Thank you!
