The Success of Unexpected Low Budget C-drama When I Fly Towards You has C-netizens Recommending 10 Underrated Dramas with Over 7 Ratings on Douban

• I am watching more C Drama nowadays. I've just finished Hidden Love and was deeply satisfied. I was watching this on Netflix in tandem with the Kdrama The King Land but it was rapidly obvious to me how much better Hidden love is in terms of writing and acting. It's a story of an adolescent infatuation and crush. Zhao Lu Si did it justice even though it's a role that she probably doesn't normally do. I love how versatile she is as an actress. Chinese drama has a lot to offer. The longer storyline ( with more episodes) allows for better story telling and character growth. Although I don't think I can stomach a 60 plus episodes drama ( unless it has Zhao Lu Si in it lol). Reset is another C drama I feel is underrated in the English speaking world.

• WIFTY really just perfect for me. FL not annoying Cinderella wanna be with that nasty voice try to be cute.ML just perfect too.I like him when that manipulated girl try to make FL in bad light, he just straight defend her GF& had me wow that's unexpected.
  Watch when we are young too, that drama is good too. Right now I watch stay with me. Underrated but good.

• I looooved an ancient love song! Highly recommend this drama! It’s a different kind of time travel!

  • Koala should totally try Ancient Love Song next. It's low budget but they did everything right for it. Well I minus a bit point for the male lead but the plot just hits you in the feels when you realize what is happening.

• Please "when we were young" is so good. Till this day I'm still waiting for the continuation 😭😭 and have heard a lot of good words about WIFTY, so definitely gonna watch this next since TLP has finished.

• WIFTY is an unexpectedly well written and acted drama. The friends group is amazing together and as couples. The lead female was both cute and full of personality. Loved how she said that nobody should sacrifice their dreams for the other and male lead agreed with her. I feel confident even if the two hadn't ended up in the same college they would have still had the same fulfilling relationship they did. The second leads too were great together and loved how all the couples inspired each other to be a better version of themselves. A true youth drama.

• None of the Chinese school/young adult dramas have worked for me except for Lighter&Princess and Hidden Love. Most of them are boring. I don't care about Douban ratings or what other said about dramas. It's good for me if I like it and bad otherwise. I'll check out the two costume dramas mentioned in the blog. Thanks.

  • that's because you're a soulless XZ fanbot. ha!

    • Hey fake Taiwan independence advocate! I don't expect you to make any meaningful comments about drama. Lol

• I just started and I really like the cinematography and the music! It brings back nostalgia and she really resembles Ariel Lin. They are so young and just so right for the age in this drama. Male lead is super cute! I heart!

• If you like "Hi Venus," you should also check out "The Day of Becoming You" by the same writer. Both are also highly rated on dramaroma and MDL.

• I think the couple is better balanced than It Started With A Kiss. She's the one who helps him with English, he helps her with maths. They both take care of each other.

• I don't care much about ratings, but when some are recommended, i try it . don't have nothing to lose . A few times, i find true gems .
