Watch on MGTV with English subs (machine translated)

So weРІР‚в„ўve done some rearranging this week in accordance with the dramas we enjoyed, just because itРІР‚в„ўs a REALLY long one this week.

Note: We had some hiccups last week (read: our account on Twitter got suspended weРІР‚в„ўre now for the time being) and hence weРІР‚в„ўre covering a full 2 weeks of dramas. Recently finished (and liked it a lot): Make A Wish (e), DonРІР‚в„ўt Leave After School (РµВ°РЏР·В¬вЂќРёР‰Р‡) LetРІР‚в„ўs respect everyoneРІР‚в„ўs right to have opinions.Р”В¬ontinuing to watch: Lady Tough (j), Remembrance of Things Past (j), Mystery of Antiques 3 (РµВ°РЏР·В¬вЂќРёР‰Р‡), You Are My Glory (e)

Now again, drama watching is a personal experience, so what we may be enjoying might not be your cup of tea.

But, we do understand it might seem all downs and no ups sometimes, so going forward, weРІР‚в„ўre going to be including a line on what dramas weРІР‚в„ўre continuing to watch from the first impressions columns, and ones weРІР‚в„ўve recently finished (as us continuing and/or finishing a drama is an achievement in itself and indicates we liked it a lot, given our time constraints).

A familiarity with culture-specific mannerisms also means that more subtle flaws in performances might be more apparent in our viewing experiences. It doesnРІР‚в„ўt mean our opinion is more or less РІР‚СљvalidРІР‚Сњ, but we may be coming from a different perspective. Because we watch without subs, we are more sensitive to things that might not affect the international audience, such as realism, cultural accuracy, line delivery, how well a script/dialogue flows, and how natural it sounds in what should be conversational speak, etc.

One final thing - please note there is a pretty big difference in the viewing experience between watching something in a language you understand and watching with subs. Same applies to Love Is True as you can see below.) Ling started off decent to us and then took a bad turn. (Examples: Ancient Love Poetry improved significantly after a rough start the first week, and we have been including it in our xianxia recs lately to reflect that Please Feel At Ease Mr. That means if a drama picks up after the initially available episodes, or dives off a cliff after a decent start, thatРІР‚в„ўs not something we can control, and please donРІР‚в„ўt hold that against us. TheyРІР‚в„ўre often done the day the drama airs, and we might not have many episodes to work with. We do want to reflect on the issues with the industry through our reviews too.Р”Р„lso, our first impressions are literally first impressions. We also do try to check and get a general sense of audience feedback in China as well (if possible), to add to the review. If youРІР‚в„ўre looking for a list of all the dramas that aired, weРІР‚в„ўll have it at the top, but please donРІР‚в„ўt expect us to necessarily match what your feelings are on a drama, or to validate it. Whether we like an actor or not doesnРІР‚в„ўt weigh in how we review a drama, and we often might be harsher on the dramas where we like the actors as we have more expectations and want better things for them.Р’В ItРІР‚в„ўs not going to be all rainbows and butterflies over here, and we want to put it out there to manage expectations.Р”В«ut, for that reason, our first impressions column may not suit everyone. That does mean, a lot of the reviews may be on the more negative side, just because the sheer number of C-dramas that are churned out, but we almost never (unless it truly canРІР‚в„ўt be saved) dismiss a drama entirely and will always point out the positive points and what people may like about it. As drama watchers (especially since we have to watch so many now), we genuinely want to see improvement for the industry, to give actors better projects to work with, so we try to be as honest as we can.

WeРІР‚в„ўve seen some comments on how weРІР‚в„ўre overly critical/pessimistic, and we wanted to address that.

#The legends chinese drama bgm update#

Since itРІР‚в„ўs been a while now, we wanted to address some things/feedback that weРІР‚в„ўve been getting and also an update on some slight restructuring. Hello everyone! CanРІР‚в„ўt believe itРІР‚в„ўs been almost eight months since we started this first impressions column, but thank you to everyone whoРІР‚в„ўs continued to read our little corner of the Internet.
