I am absolutely in love with C dramas. I know many are obsessed with K dramas and even though they do have a special place in my heart the C dramas are just so grand. The amount of details in the costumes and set pieces make American cinema look like crap. 
I know I might get crap for that but let’s be honest. Any show on Disney+, Amazon or HBO(Max) can’t compare. I heard one YouTuber say she hates the C dramas because the graphics are just unrealistic. I thought to myself while watching her spew her nonsense “wow girl you really need to watch the rings of power”. That thing was so bad and I bet China didn’t have no where near the budget of rings of power on any project.
I just absolutely love the creativity they put into the different series. I love how there aren’t sex scenes in every single shot. I don’t have to see fake boobs or an ass run across my screen. It’s almost like they let your imagination take over while the couple kisses.
Somethings are better left without us having to watch the couple actually have sex. I cannot explain how bad American culture has become. Every single actress has big lips, frozen faces and perfect boobs. I am hoping there will be a shift and I won’t have to deal with it but I doubt that will happen anytime soon.
The days of the breakfast club or sixteen candles are long gone and don’t worry, you will constantly be reminded every single time.
Getting back to my love for the C dramas. I do love how they make an effort to make the stories interesting and yes I am happy to live in the fantasy world even for a brief moment.
I know the actors are treated differently and I know there is a whole bunch of pressure on them constantly. Recently that happened in my k drama world with Kim Soo Hyun and the accusations he faced.
For those that don’t know he was accused of doing something through hearsay and basically cancelled. Lucky for him his fans were not willing to allow him to be cancelled just on hearsay. (Yes I am one of those fans, I stand with him also.) Which by the way if you believe every single woman please don’t follow me I am NOT that girl. I know exactly how vicious women can be.
The set pieces are always grand, the costumes are always beautiful. It’s almost like watching a movie but instead it’s a series of 30-40 episodes of the whole story. Many are based on either Chinese literature, books or web toons. One great example of this is an older series called Love between the Devil and Fairy.
This wonderful piece has Dylan Wang which I think is such a cutie. Too young for me but he definitely is yummy in his Devil costume, or I should call him, Moon Supreme. Again the graphics aren’t perfect and yes they might be a little cheesy for some viewers but I absolutely love it.
It’s like watching the Terminator. Yeah it might look old and a little cheesy with the graphics but I can honestly say none of the movies have ever been better than the first one and second one. Again might be cheesy but it’s perfect.
It’s funny how far the graphics have come yet the stories have become such garbage. Again why I love my C dramas. I know we will never be able to get the charm and beauty of the 80’s cinema or even music for that case,back. But having these fantastic series that are epic and unique have given me hope.
I love diving into a good book and the characters leave me in awe. Movies and tv shows used to do that, they don’t anymore. It’s all remakes, diversity, pushing some stupid message, and the stories are just crap.
Hence why I fell in love with my C dramas and look forward to watching more of them. China might not be perfect but they definitely are doing something right and it’s called C dramas. Thank you China for your service in helping this American girl forget the crappy movies and actors in my land. Your faithful viewer, Emma.
PS: don’t start doing anything with diversity, women power or gender identity you will lose me so fast!!!
