I really enjoyed #lovescenery
I am a huge fan of Lin Yi so this isn’t an unbiased recommendation. The video game bit is very cute but there’s less of it later in the drama. They don’t spend a lot of in person time together. Overall minimal angst.

Ooh, no, I think #YouAreMyGlory counts. That’s reminded me of another C-drama with a similar plot arc: #LoveScenery. A big name C-ent star (FL) needs to get good at an e-game so gets cute/hot guy (ML) to teach and train her.

Ah well, I must have been in forgiving mood when I watched it! 😆

By the way, I added some singer/musician C-dramas for the list but they were put in @tinalaubach.bsky.social’s thread. I can copy across here if you like. They were #Crush, #MyFatedBoy, #TheBrightestStarInTheSky and #LoveScenery.

There’s also a C-pop FL in #LoveScenery (another nice noona romance drama).

Or for a C-drama noona killer, how about Lin Yi in #LoveScenery?

#LoveScenery is a warm and simple love story, with two excellent leads and sizzling chemistry between them. I particularly love the leading lady who is assertive, independent and knows who to balance her professional and personal life really well. A fun and easy watch drama!

Qual primeiro #cdrama de vcs??
o meu foi #LoveScenery !

eu só assistia kdrama por preguiça de procurar cdrama, mas depois destrinchei demais, os plots são uns melhores que os outros

Listen, if you're lying to someone so you can spend time alone with them after they have rejected your advances, you're being creepy. Respect the NO.

Lunch break today comes with some more #LoveScenery.
The older dude is *CREEPY* and I was right, he's awful.
She's 25 years younger than him and he's tipping off the paparazzi so she feels pressured into dating him. That's gross.

All that being said, #LoveScenery should have been a 20 episode mini-drama with just the main OTP in 15-30m episodes. They threw in an extra mini-drama in the background that I've been skipping since E1 and it changes none of the plot.

Which is also a good writing lesson, I suppose.

The writers have done an excellent job of showing us two people who have a working online relationship, who care about each other, and who are not together for realistic reasons. The viewers knows the characters will be so happy together, and that anticipation creates tension.

I am ignoring all the subplots and the random dude in the jungle and only watching the scenes with the main OTP. If you focus on that, it's an excellent example of how to write tension without death and danger as the stakes.

It did result in the most delightful scene where they were near each other on public transport and texting each other and they ALMOST met offline. The tension was excellent, the scene was well done. A+ work by everyone. Give the script writers extra cookies.

#LoveScenery

The most unrealistic thing about this Cdrama is that they have their phones make noise when they get texts. It was filmed in 2021. No one does that, darlings. We're all more refined than that.
