    @@jujutsushira9649 I mean, it's fine if she really likes him. We are all entitled to have actors we love or prefer and that doesn't preclude the aforementioned dramas being good. I do think she overrates A Journey to Love, and it's something she even admits to in this video, when she says that a lot of the attacks the drama and actor received, make her want to overcompensate. It's a good drama but I think there's a reason the rating tanked in China and it started dropping even before the ending.

    I fell in love with 'A Journey to Love'. The characters are lively, not superficial, and the story flows well. I managed to connect with each character created; they were very well developed (almost all of them). The final stretch was turbulent, very rushed, but even so, this drama is still above others, which often treat us as foolish and non-thinking creatures on the other side. It was really a journey to love, because I fell in love. Note: Ning is beautiful.He looks like a deity, he's so beautiful and his voice is perfect. 💜

Yet I loved Meet Yourself and still listen to its OST. I’m going to check out An Ancient Love Song because a drama one can watch forwards and backwards sounds super intriguing. I discovered Liu Cixin because of your reviews of Three Body and The Wandering Earth and the Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy was one of the best things I read in 2023. I got stuck on the show - not because it’s bad just because The Dark Forest called to me more than the show in that moment. I’ll hope to get back to it. So, thank you again for your reviews. Happy New Year and my 2024 bring you joy and many good dramas! 🎉

Tho the example she showed was one of the broad comedic moments when the girlfriends are beating him up. His reaction face is extreme, silly and distorted. Intentionally. (And kudos to such a handsome actor for being willing to do this.) I remember thinking, well that’s a bit unfair. Otherwise, I’d think this series would appeal to her. Creative, flipping xianxia tropes, and striving for healthier relationships.

    ​@duckraft but it did appeal to her, yes she put that drama in her video regarding "worst of 2023" but it's because of the camera work, lights on set (those big lights whenever there was a kissing scene were just plain weird), the color grading, the way the director filmed the drama... And I agree with her, the colors and lights in this drama were weird, and even off-putting at times (those big lights... just why? It almost ruined some scenes for me). But if you leave these aspects aside she did enjoy the drama. She made 2 review videos on it. Maybe you didn't see them back then? 😊 In the 1st video the drama was still ongoing and she had watched 12 episodes and then the 2nd video was the final review. She ended up rating the drama with 2 goldmines. So I think it's safe to say she still had a pleasant time watching it. :D Especially with all that ranting, that means she was capable to appreciate the good aspects.

    I was really hoping that An Ancient Love Song would make it into your best drama list here, and it does! It's honestly an amazing drama that exceeds all expectations considering the budgets. I'm actually one of those people who have no idea this drama existed because I saw no promotion of it but fortunately stumbled upon it on Bilibili very randomly. I like the fact that it's a time travel drama and despite its tragic story, it actually doesn't make a fool out of the viewers by having a stupid painful self-cancelling plot twists of turning all the efforts into just a dream or making the characters wanted out from the transported world after all those time and efforts. I like the fact that the director, cameramen, editors, writers, wardrobes, everyone in the production team worked very professionally. No stupid camera angles, no weird transitions, no awkward directing, the story is beautifully written with great flow and enjoyable pace, and the editing also cinematography is good. The costumes is simple but without unbearable historical inaccuracies (at least I didn't notice!). The FL wuxia scenes are little but gorgeous. It's a great experience!

    A journey to love was also the very very very very best drama of the year for me. I’ve never felt so longing waiting for every new episode and so lost when it’s over like somebody that i love just left me 😂 But, i’ll also put lost you forever and my journey to you in my list. Both of them pretty surprise me, as i watch them with no expectation at all. I thought i’ll gave up on the third episode or so, but turned out i finished it an anxiously waiting for the next season *if there will be any haha. I usually would put some dilraba drama on my list but this year her drama were flop, i gave them up on episode 3 😅. Liu Shi Shi is my favourite now, waiting for her new project 😘. Anyway, hope we’ll find another great quality, unexpected drama like a journey to love next year, and also the second season of every cliffhanger drama from this year 😁👍

    Thank you so much for this video! I must see "be your own light" and "a journey to love" in 2024. I didn't see many dramas from 2023, but this year's favourite is definietly "Heroes" (2022). I instantly fell in love with it and loved it to the very end. It was the most epic thing I've seen in a very long time.

    Thank you Avenue X for all your hard work this year. Happy New Year!🥳 The tours through China were very interesting as I will never have the opportunity to travel to mainland China. I would love to but might not get the opportunity. Having said that, my outstanding dramas are as follows: 1. The Knockout 2. Imperfect Victim 3. Alliance 4. The Heart 5. A Journey To Love 6. Destined 7. Lost You Forever All the other dramas were entertaining but these three really captured my attention in all aspects of story telling. The cast and crew were on point. For a drama to be on my top list has to have great costumes, set design, interesting camera shots, talented actors, multi layered characters and excellent direction. All other dramas I enjoyed were entertaining. I hope that next year Chinese drama land can keep pace with the rest of the world as Chinese dramas can be compelling. I recently watched the sweetest Japanese science fiction movie My Happy Marriage. On Netflix, Korean dramas ; My Demon, Song Of Bandits and The Fiery Priest. All fantastic viewing. I will attempt to watch your entire list of dramas as they all sound terrific in a few reviews. Take care and stay safe💃🏽

Thanks for your journey of love in drama land with all of us. I so appreciate your reviews and your videos and travel logs this year. Have a happy 2024 - start of period 9. It is going to be a wild ride! Here are my own ratings for Cdrama in 2023 on a scale of 10. I completed watching 37 dramas in 2023, dropped 8 in 2023 : 1. Meet yourself 10 2. Three Body 9.5 3. The Knockout 9.5 4. Journey to Love 10 up till ep 36 and 9 overall. 5. When I Fly Towards You 9.5 6 I am Nobody 9.0 7. Nothing But You 9.0 8. An Ancient Love Song 9.0 9. Under the Microscope 9.0 10.

    it's really really good!! Although i have to say, by ep 17 when the plot took an abrupt turn, its J-drama DNA for unnecessary emotional dogblood really became apparent. Still a really nice drama to keep watching, but it's lost some of its wow factor that really kept me glued in the earlier episodes.

    My absolute favorite is A Journey To Love followed closely by Till The End Of The Moon. I’m glad that two of Liu Yuning’s dramas made it to this year’s list. I wasn’t expecting AJTL to be this fascinating & captivating! Looking forward to more of Liu Yuning’s dramas next year.

Also she had been recognized as the national culture ambassador from the China government;the government of China 🇨🇳 of the culture minister &China's president had been talking good about reba, the embassy of China in most countries had given permission to show the divas road,because reba had been promoting her country and hometown Xinjiang

    I found a good way to watch your videos. Every time you flash a picture, I pause it so I have time to look at it. Otherwise, I blink and its gone. Since you talk so fast that I sometimes can't even catch the name of the drama. BTW, I generally like to watch dramas where the FL is under 30, with some exceptions, like Liu Yifei, so I think Meet Yourself is nice drama for getting me hooked on FL over 30. Some decent dramas I like this year and have watched are GenZ, Starry Love, Legend of Anle, Rising with the Wind, Hidden Love, The Love You Give Me, Incomparable Beauty. A bunch that came out this year but I haven't gotten around to that I look forward to seeing are Wonderland of Love, Weaving a Tale of Love 2, Last Immortal, Journey to Love. I generally like to watch if they put a lot of production value into the drama.

And for that crappy drama my journey to you I WILL NEVER FORGIVE the director and scriptwriter for that ending why couldnt gong shangjue and shanguang qian have a happy ending what the hell was that!!!!!!But it was totally a feast for my eyes that lighting angles props one of the best the whole year! My only motivation to watch it was becauze of the trio gong er gongzi,his didi, and his fiance...

    Thank you Avenue X for your list. I watched The Heart and Fake It Till You Make it based on your recommendations and enjoyed both dramas very much. In fact, I have since rewatched The Heart many times and still enjoyed it each time. As long as the script is good, I think a second season of The Heart without the main leads should be fine. Key is a good script.

    I'm so glad that apart from A journey to Love, you have Be Your Own Light in the best list! I honestly think its such an underrated series. I also didn't expect it to be good, picked it up only cause I love Liu Yuning and I was so surprised how good this drama was.

    Here you are. Glad you posted the best. I loved Meet Yourself. Some said it's a copy of K-drama Cha Cha Cha, but I don't think so. Very different storylines. And I'm glad you chose Liu Yuning dramas. He is not only a great singer who contributed his talent to C-drama OST, but he is also becoming a great actor. Ppl are so mean to bully him about his looks. Why? I think he is very handsome to my taste. Everyone have different taste and first of all ppl who criticize his looks should look at themselves in the mirror 😂
