I’m a C-drama convert, officially. Presently watching The Best of You in My Mind (ep 18) & My Love, Enlighten Me (ep 10). Adore both shows. 😀 C-drama beanies, any recommendations?

    Where did you watch 10 episodes of My Love, Enlighten Me? Last I checked only 4 or 5 episodes are out. I saw half of episode 3 last night!

    Beanies on discord are now watching the new costume drama, The Romance of Tiger and Rose. We are hoping this will be our new crack. I`m not into costume dramas, but maybe this will cure my allergy? We, errr… I am…., are also anticipating Love Advanced Customization which is coming out tomorrow. I’m hoping it will be good to negate that horrible title…..

      The new VIP episodes were already leaked to the illegal sites last week for My Love, Enlighten Me.

      I’m definitely going to check out The Romance of Tiger and Rose. But I’m already watching the ML in Intense Love right now. LOL

        I checked WeTV, they’re all on there. \0/ Even all 8 episodes of The Romance of Tiger and Rose are there! I saw the first episode it’s super fun! I think I may have just found the cure to my costume drama allergy! ^___^ Ryan Ding is a cutie! I decided to check this out because I couldn’t get past ep 3 of Intense Love but I like him.

        Does Intense Love get better? I think my issue is with the female lead’s acting and the awful dubbing……

        Anyways back to The Romance of Tiger and Rose – I enjoy the world that the scriptwriter (our female lead) created – it’s super women centric. The women are leading the army, everyone rejoices when a girl is first born, married men are to be divorced and cast away if they fail to produce a female heir, men are uneducated, men are the performers/dancers who entertain the working women. I love her world! It’s no wonder the actor (the male lead; Ryan Ding) didn’t want to take part of this drama. He calls it too women centric and there’s no equality. She raised her voice at him and said when were they ever equal!👏👏👏👏

          Intense Love – first 5 episodes, the FL comes off as immature and delusional. However, I noticed her immaturity is all towards him. When she’s working, she’s strictly professional. She does get better in the later episodes. I don’t find her dubbed voice as annoying as all the dubbed voices in Girlfriend.

          The Romance of Tiger sounds promising so far. Yay to your cure of costume dramas!

            Maybe I’ll try Intense Love again for the third time. 😆 I know it topped the Chinese webdrama chart last week so there’s something about this drama that’s making China watch it.

            Just finished ep 2 of The Romance of Tiger and Rose; it’s still fun! I love the female lead’s antics. And lately I’m very much into role reversal, so it’s hitting the right notes that I can get passed the costumes huehhehe 🙉 I Hope I can stick to it to the end.

          @13infamyss, I didn’t know where else to find you and didn’t want to make a post on the fanwall.

          I checked out the first episode of The Romance of Tiger and Rose. It’s a hoot! Ryan Dong looks good in costume drama. 😍

      I couldn’t continue with Girlfriend but glad you and your mom are having fun.

        Oh, I haven’t started it, it’s just my mom lol But yes, she’s having fun 😊😊😊
        I’m currently watching “The Love Equations” 👌🏻👌🏻

          I dropped The Love Equations around episode 15. It was fun up to them getting together. After that, I still felt the FL had no character growth ep 13 and on. I really liked the beginning too. 😔

          BTW, I’m re-watching Murphy’s Law of Love. 😂 I remember your posts long ago and I had rewatched then. And someone I know had mentioned the drama and here I am pressing play yet again. Gotta love Danson Tang’s character.

            I’m continuing with “The Love Equations” 😊 Zhao Fan Zhou is 😍😍 Kudos to Simon Gong Jim’s acting 👌🏻👌🏻

            “Murphy’s Law Of Love” is also a fun one, but I can’t do it all in one sitting for my rewatches anymore… It used to be one of those mindless watches and then it slowly makes you HAVE to use your logic and your brain and then it turns not-fun in some parts ☹️

            I never make it far on my rewatches for Murphy’s Law of Love. Usually by the time the ex comes back. 😂 😅

            In my rewatches, depending on how I feel—on a good rewatch, I make it to his confession; On a bad rewatch, I get to her slump (so just slightly before his confession) and I can’t go on anymore 😅😅

            Unfortunately The Love Equations was a miss for me. I’ve been told that it starts to get good after ep 6, but I couldn’t get passed 1.5 episodes 😖😖😖😖 I had high expectations of this drama because I loved A Love So Beautiful and we were all crazy about Put Your Head on My Shoulders! (Time flies! It’s been a year!). I really wanted to like it, but I couldn’t 😖😖😖😖😖 Simon Gong has another drama I am looking forward to watch, Begin Again, maybe I’ll see him in that drama then? So I dropped his dramas, Instead of Tipsy Why Not Get Drunk and The Love Equations, maybe the third is a charm….🤔

            That’s okay!! Different drama preferences are okay 👌🏻👌🏻 I feel like we still need to learn this and get this thru our heads 😅😅 I know what you mean— it took me 3 tries to get through Episode 1, but I quite enjoy the more mundane nature of the drama, and that’s why I’ve been able to keep with it 😊 And then their confessions happened at the lucky Episode 13 mark and I was like YAAAAASSSSSS

            I’ve finished The Love Equations. >_< It's ok. I thought the male lead was a rather boring character, but he balanced out the female lead very well – and that's what kept me watching.

        Girlfriend is silly fun! I also like the female lead; she doesn’t take any bull. I think I am on either ep 9/10 then I got distracted with other shows. lol

          Lol I think I’ll get to it soon… Maybe when I run out of episodes to watch for “The Love Equations”— currently on episode 16 of 24 (that is out so far… But I believe the entire drama has 36 episodes) ✌🏻

            What? TLE has 36? I think not. I’ve watched till ep 27-28. And it seems complete.

            @greenfields You’re right!! It’s just that I’ve not reached that point, and the drama’s page on mydramalist (because it doesn’t have a Wiki page) said that it had 36 episodes up until 2 days ago when I checked 😅😅

      Hehehe thanks. Put Your Head on My Shoulder, I’ve seen. Love it! I did try to watch The Untamed, but it turns out I may have a costume drama allergy >_<; but let me give the others you suggest a try – still too new to C-dramas to say anything decisively.
