If Uncle Robin, Carrie & myself are all on the same page about a drama, it must be worth a look 😊

Note: this isn’t the kdrama version of #ALoveSoBeautiful, which I’ve heard from others isn’t very good

(I don’t think @onekdramamomma.bsky.social permits quote posts, so I can’t share it here)
The other cdrama which is a bit similar, but has very different characters, is a heartwarming youth drama called #ALoveSoBeautiful
Check out the video for this too:

Day 6: Coming Of Age Story
#ALoveSoBeautiful is a typical coming-of-age #cdrama but one of my favorites. Become close friends in high school. Start dating while in university, but regrettably break up. Meet again years later and get back together.

There are actually a couple of really nice cdramas to watch from today’s coming of age theme
One that Carrie suggested - #WhenIFlyTiwardsYou - is very cute, very watchable & not too long (around 24 episodes)
If you check out Carrie’s account you can find her post about it

That’s easy: a jdrama is any drama with a title that fits roughly a line & a half of a post on Bluesky
Eg, #FukushūKareshi:DekiaiShachōnoKaoniwaUragaaru (Revenge boyfriend: There is a back to the face of the doting president - otherwise known as Lover’s Revenge)

Maybe we could ask TVline for their definitive top 15 cdramas of all time? 😅
That would actually be quite amusing

Hehe 😊 - nice captures 👍
How he thought she would be immediately won over by this is beyond me!
But a highlight for me is just after this sequence, when Minglan is being interviewed by her Grandmother; & after being asked how she felt about Gu Tingye’s elaborate plan, her face lights up suddenly ☺️

Then, after affirming that her status will be the equal of his own, he formally commits to living with her to the end, placing into her care his properties & wealth, & “entrusting to you the propagation of my bloodline” (😅)
She is finally won over!

& yes, it so subtle how he manages to step past Minglan’s layers of self protection, one by one, to win her trust
He shows that he understands her situation, having to cover up her abilities & preferences to survive
& he assures her that they will live separately from his “complicated family”

I remembered this scene from my first watch, but it had totally slipped my mind that it took place at a polo match - which I realise now is so fitting!
We don’t get to see them play together, but because we were treated earlier in the story to Minglan’s & Gu Tingye’s riding skills, we can imagine

Character limits are annoying 😅 - but in case you didn’t know, you can also include extra information using the alt-edit function (by pressing on the little “+ ALT” sign that appears on the top left whenever you upload a photo or image) 👍

This is one reason why it’s not a serious “best of all time” list - but for a popular magazine article it’s quite a good intro to many well known & loved kdramas
But for sure, they’ve missed many golden dramas here - even the romance section looks undersold - so I wouldn’t take it too seriously 🙂
