So finally, I’ve completed The Best Thing . It’s fine for a one-time watch. There are no negative characters in it .overall, it’s a positive show. But the way they showed the breast cancer surgery and recovery felt a bit too fast. 24 episode mai bhi complete kar sakte the.

Our generation kaise hai? 24 episode ka hai i think .

Time travel story ka koi suggestion De sakta hai?

@swathi :- the story of kunning palace time travel story hai kya? Insta pe reel mai koi morden word ka clip daal rakha hai usmai

Haan kunning palace is time travel..but it was too good for me.. good work of bai lu and Zhang Linghe..if you are particularly not a fan of time travel you may skip it..

Regarding our generation, it is most frustrating and most boring show of him..people called it worse 😂

Due to censoring did they rewrite his character so much or if they wanted people to remember him as only green flag, only writers know..

Howz he still wrong according to you?..anyone would act that way if their parents had died that way na..

To some extent all characters especially lead characters get some whitewashing. In Hidden Love, First Frost and When I Meet the Moon (all Zhu Yi male leads) are chainsmokers. I didn't read the novel Lighter and Princess is based on but read Li Xun was whitewashed too. Leads have to be picture perfect when they are in dramas

From the start of the novel, Xie Zheng is portrayed as someone who can see through schemes. Even when Wei Xuan controlled Xie army troops Xie Zheng waited in Lin'an town knowing where Wei Xuan would make a mistake and how he as Marquis Wu'an could make his grand reappearance. + much more small examples how he always weighs the pros and cons before acting. He's not an unreasonable/impulsive person (in general, he's more than impulsive with FCY but let's not go there ). In this case he knew details of the Fan family beforehand. How Wei Yan is hunting down the Fan family, how FCY's father hid under someone else's identity for years - like he had an idea more or less that there's something hidden behind the massacre 16~ years ago. But his first instinct was to cut her off. I get it his life took a worse turn with his parents' death and it haunts him till date but he didn't even process who Wei Qilin could be and why he would hide so long how General Meng's daughter would readily be married to WQL. That's why I said maybe the author might be emphasizing the depth of his scars that he would shed his usual self and his first instinct becomes to withdraw and protect himself.

@swathi :- the story of kunning palace time travel story hai kya? Insta pe reel mai koi morden word ka clip daal rakha hai usmai

I have soo many suggestions for time travel.

C drama:

Reset (Not time-travel, rather time loop)

I belonged to your World

Summit of our Youth

Fell up on me

Love in time (2022), there is another drama with the same name

Dream Of Golden Years (came this year)

Shining for one thing

Legally Romance

In Chinese dramas, what you can do is skip the last episode, as they may not provide a satisfactory ending, due to censorship, but due to it, don't ignore the dramas, as they are really good.

K drama:

My Perfect Stranger

Kairos (love it, suspense, mystery)

365: Repeat a year

Twinkling Watermelon

Perfect Marriage Revenge

18 Again (Not time travel, rather ML turns into his 18-year-old self)

The Story of Park's marriage (for a change, FL comes from ancient time to current time)

Blue Birthday

See you in my 19th life (Not exactly time travel, it is just FL remembers all her previous lives), it has good romance

Didn't mention famous dramas

Ikr

Heck, even K dramas they show smoking of leads if there is a lot of violence.

They literally never showed Vincenzo smoking, and in Doom at your service, ML kept trying to light the cigarette.

In China, thrillers and other genres have leads smoking. Like in The Seven Relics of Ill Omen Song Weilong was smoking. There's this Taiwanese thriller called Light The Night, damn the screen was full of smoke always someone even joked if it's light the 'night' or a cig and iirc the murder weapon was an ash tray

Hidden Love was uncomfortable for me to read with Zhu Yi borderline romanticizing the smell but I grew numb in First Frost and When I Meet The Moon (tbh the other two were better)

Baek Sa Eon was also a smoker toned down in the drama.

Why are they so obsessed with smoking ? Is this like drinking in american/english novels ?

Could be. Korean idols/actors get hate for smoking, whereas Chinese fans would rather take it casually when Chinese actors are found smoking off-screen. Their only concern is when an actor gets caught smoking between takes on the sets.

Alcohol is a must with food in East Asia so maybe that's why they find smoking fascinating

I’ve already watched Twinkling Watermelon.

I’ve also watched See You in My 19th Life.

My Perfect Stranger looks very interestingI’ll try watching it.

Thank you! for your suggestions
