Happy Mother's Day everyone!

As the post title says, can we talk about best mothers?

Tell me who are the best Cdrama moms you have ever watched? Biological moms count but so do the other women who stepped up.

Grandmothers who raised everyone. Aunts who supported their nephews and nieces. Older sisters who became parents before they were ready.

Teachers, mentors, random innkeepers who gave good advice and a bowl of soup.

Any woman in a drama who felt like a mom even for one scene.

My choice is Fuca Rongyin from The Story of Yanxi Palace. She wasn’t a mother to Wei Yingluo but she protected her like one even if it meant pushing her away from her to make sure she lives. Who else can you think of?

Pursuit of Jade has many examples of great moms in my opinion

Last I asked to name the best cdrama ever made and Nirvana in Fire took the crown for greatest cdrama ever.

What about the other end?

I don’t mean the most disappointing or the one that wasted a good cast.

I am asking about the drama you 🫵 think is the worst drama ever produced.

I’ll go first! The Untamed.

Before the torches come out please hear me out. Taste is personal and I respect yours.

I am not calling the drama worst for no reason. The production quality was terrible, too many characters to remember but ok the colors were helpful, the sets looked cheap and like a joke, the plot was so messy that it didn’t make any sense, and the romance was swapped with bromance.

I struggled to understand and finish it. A drama shouldn’t need homework to make sense. That’s why I say that the untamed is the worst drama ever produced.

Now forget my example and drop yours. What’s the worst cdrama ever made?

Don't give me names for the best drama you recently watched or the most visually appealing. Tell me about that ONE drama you would defend as the GREATEST cdrama ever produced.

I'll go first The Story of Yanxi Palace!

I have been waiting too long for another Chen Zheyuan drama since Fated Heart. I don't see any posts about it here..is it coming anytime soon or not coming soon? Gimmeee crumbs please

I love how Cdramas build to a confession and romantic scenes that western media just doesn't do. I feel that distance and boundaries make romantic scenes so beautiful to watch. It’s kind of like watching two real people finally saying the thing they’ve been holding locked insides of them.

Costume dramas also do romance so much better than western period dramas. Zero nudity but one hundred percent butterflies in stomach and giddy feelings. Don’t Cdramas do romance better than any other dramas? or is it just us cdrama fans who think this way?

Dramas in the video are 1) Hidden Love 2) Everyone Loves Me 3) Blossoms in Adversity 4) Till the End of Moon.
