One of the things that really impressed me about #cDrama #ThisThrivingLand was the way the characters all looked like they were not wearing makeup. Obviously they were, but that to me seems like higher artistry, having makeup that looks 'real' - including pores and skin blemishes.

& don’t forget you’ve been making a good case for a few cdramas recently - eg #DearEnemy, #Destiny, #LovesAmbition & even #ThisThrivingLand. We 🫡 you

I vaguely remember you explaining to me previously why you don’t watch historical costume dramas, but I’ve forgotten
Is it because there’s sometimes blood or fighting in them? (though you seemed to be ok with #ThisThrivingLand, so maybe that’s not the main issue?)

Great list 👍
(I read the entries for the dramas I’ve seen & skim-read the others from your viewing year)
I got a few of your 2025 faves right, but an obvious one I ought to have remembered was #ThisThrivingLand 🙂
I totally agree about the ending of #LovesAmbition - they wasted the last 3 episodes

Googling for images of this role confirms her character really was secondary. The whole Drama very much about Yang Mi, so I award Xing Fei for her little sister role in #ThisThrivingLand HEA next, please

Into ep 9/38 in #cDrama #SixSisters and it's OK. My interest did take a hit with the "young" leads being replaced unnecessarily early imo, but it's not dropworthy. But it's not grabbing me the way #ThisThrivingLand did, so it will go on hold for now. Time to check the 8 #kDrama entries on my PTW

It's the first #cDrama I've watched with a significant chunk set during the Cultural Revolution ("10 Years of Chaos" tells me is one official Chinese name for it now😍) and as with #ThisThrivingLand I've been impressed with the presentation of State-approved history. No rose-coloured glasses yet

Absolutely agree, I do think #ThisThrivingLand is historical because a century is a long enough time to have passed for it to be history for the vast majority of people. Even #AcalmSea feels like an historical for me, still 90 years ago and in a VERY different world

lol 😅
I guess it depends which time-frame we are talking about!
#ThisThrivingLand is set between 1926-1944
Whereas #LegendoftheFemaleGeneral was set sometime between 386-534 CE (ie, it is loosely inspired by the Wei Dynasty - though I am happy to be corrected on this)
Bicycles started from 1817
