It’s so funny to think he’s already a veteran actor despite his years! - aside from those already mentioned, he’s also been in
#IAmNobody
#Filter
#TheSwordandtheBrocade
#MySassyPrincess
#TimeandHimAreJustRight &
#EveryoneLovesMe (& these are only a selection!)
Oh, I see. There are lighter costume cdramas of course (as there are lighter fusion sageuks). Some I could recommend are
#NewLifeBegins
#AFemaleStudentArrivesattheImperialCollege
#WrongCarriage,RightGroom
#MySassyPrincess
&
#InAClassofHerOwn (based on #SungkyunkwanScandal)
Re: the gif, I think it’s Yuan Bingyan in #MySassyPrincess 🙂
Yes! Mine too! That is when I fell for the smoke show that is Zheng Ye Cheng and I went around watching his whole back catalogue (I adored #mysassyprincess and his 🥰romance with none other than Vin Zhang in #love020)
And he made me squee again when I saw him pop up on #killmysins
While many of the suggestions people have made are a little heavy, there are some much lighter ones, or ones with a mix of light & dark that have plenty of romance
Eg, from cdramas #LesBelles, #BlossomsinAdversity, #NewLifeBegins, or #MySassyPrincess
Or from kdramas #RookieHistorianGooHaeRyung
#LoveBetweenFairyandDevil
#IAmNobody
#BlossomsinAdversity
#TheDouble
#SkateIntoLove
#TheSwordandtheBrocade
#AncientLovePoetry
#MySassyPrincess
#WhoRulestheWorld
#TimesndHimAteJustRight
#StoryofPearlGirl
#EveryoneLovesMe
And more
They are each over 50 episodes for sure, but they really are the classics. I could do propaganda for them, but I will spare you 😅
Other cdramas I don’t see on your list are:
#AFemaleStudentArrivesattheImperialCollege
#WrongCarriageRightGroom
#Destined
#MySassyPrincess
#UnderthePower
What #mysassyprincess does really well is show is how they makes each other less lonely when they are together. You know exactly what draws them to each other. And then he wipes the blood spatter off his cheeks with her fingers and kisses her breathless on the roof. That part is nice too.
As I wait forMonday, rewatching #cdrama #mysassyprincess One of my pandemic binge watches so all I remember is that it was decent. 5 episodes in and i’m a fan of the “bratty” princess and swooning at the delivery of “once I think you are the One, I will be yours forever…you can’t get rid of me”
