2021
What I've watched during the year in chronological order.
It has dramas, TV shows and movies all combined because I'm lazy and don't want lots of lists.
-
1. Live For Real
Chinese Special - 2018, 1 episode
Completed - 11/01/2021
-
2. Gank Your Heart
Chinese Drama - 2019, 35 episodes
Completed - 14/01/2021
Great at first, interesting to see a Lynn Minmay syndrome to a drama even if they went to the point that it was ridiculously made.
Ruined the show a bit, but it wasn't only that.
-
3. Gank Your Heart Special
Chinese Special - 2019, 1 episode
Completed - 14/01/2021
-
4. My Strange Friend
Chinese Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
Completed - 05/02/2021
Not only a strange friend but also a strange drama.
Interesting at first but has some questionable points in the end. I'm quite skeptical.
Give Wei Yichen his book back!

5. Lost on Journey
Chinese Movie - 2010
Completed - 15/02/2021
Very touching, very funny, very great.
-
6. The Wandering Earth
Chinese Movie - 2019
Completed - 22/02/2021
Good movie with super great visual effects. Quite touching at some points too.
For a long movie like this one, I never felt bored and that's great.
If not taking seriously, it can be enjoyable since it's a SF.
Has some Gurren Lagann vibes and I like that.
-
7. Lover's Confession
Chinese Special - 2019, 1 episode
Rewatched - 14/03/2021
I like it a lot and rewatching it when I'm sad is not really a good idea because I'm very emotional sometimes like this day.
-
8. Douluo Continent
Chinese Drama - 2021, 40 episodes
Completed - 19/03/2021
The ending makes me wanna watch more even if the drama have lots of unnecessary scenes that I can't count since they're a lot.
I was a bit concerned about Tang San and Xiao Wu's relationship too, still am.
Hope the second season will be better.
-
9. The Legend of Fei
Chinese Drama - 2020, 51 episodes
Completed - 01/06/2021
Good characters, but bad editing and scriptwriting.
Some parts were well done when some were horrible and hard to watch.
With this much budget, they could do better.
-
10. Love Actually
Chinese Drama - 2017, 42 episodes
Completed - 09/06/2021
I'm devasted by this ending.
The story was okay but has lots of holes points that I really was confused about.
Zhai Zhiwei you deserves better. An Qinghuan too.
-
11. My Strange Friend Season 2
Chinese Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
Completed - 14/06/2021
I can't accept this ending with full nonsenses all way long.
Wei Yichen, you weren't at fault and you would never. Where's your happiness?
-
12. The Untamed Special Edition
Chinese Special - 2019, 20 episodes
Completed - 21/06/2021
It was so short compared to the 50 episodes long one, it took me less than a week to finish.
I would probably never watch this version again, but it was good to rewatch the drama with this edition, they added some little scenes with our protagonists even if it's very low.
I'll repeat myself but I won't recommend this version for newbies. It's only good for a rewatch.
-
13. Legend of Yun Qian
Chinese Drama - 2020, 15 episodes
Completed - 23/06/2021
Super cute but very short too. I'm waiting for the second season of it.
-
14. The Love Equations
Chinese Drama - 2020, 27 episodes
Completed - 01/07/2021
It was super soft and cute. I think I needed that.
The only thing bad I can say about it it's about FL's attitudes and ML's childhood "friend".
-
15. The Love Equations: Extra Story
Chinese Special - 2020, 1 episode
Completed - 01/07/2021
-
16. Super Star Academy
Chinese Drama - 2016, 30 episodes
Completed - 03/09/2021
I was waiting for Xiao Zhan's new upcoming modern drama with Yang Zi so I was asking myself, wait, did he already film a modern drama before? Turns out he actually did but really long ago.
It was fast and fun to watch even if I feel like the drama was 10 episodes longer out of nothing.
The story shoudn't be taken seriously, it still has interesting little plot (such as Li Yadang's, I loved his chemistry with Shen Hao). Main protagonists has great chemistry too.
Too bad the ending didn't do justice to the drama, it's like we were back to day one.
-
17. Buying Ears
Chinese Special - 2020, 1 episode
Completed - 06/09/2021
Very short but very moving.
Xiao Zhan's Sichuan's accent/dialect is incredibly cute, I love to hear it and want to hear it more in the future.
-
18. Please Enlighten Me
Chinese Movie - 2021
Completed - 20/09/2021
Saw that this adaptation existed some days ago.
Lacking a lot of things, won't recommend if you loved the novel a lot.
Kind of disappointed because of the rushing of the story, they could adapt it so much better as a movie...
-
19. Fatal Journey
Chinese Movie - 2020
Completed - 08/11/2021
(The Untamed Story) Focus on the Nie family, very touching.
What made me laugh is that one of the last fight reminded me of Jotaro VS. Dio in Wuxia style.
I feel like compared to The Living Dead movie, the budget for the animation weren't that good and that's a shame because it came a year after it.
-
20. Princess Agents
Chinese Drama - 2017, 67 episodes
Completed - 13/12/2021
I really liked it a lot, the protagonist is truly gorgeous and I think I could watch it all over again anytime.
The ending made me scream and I hope one day we will have a season 2 even if it could be a great ending as it is but... I'm eager for more.
I totally see how people would like it. Zhao Liying's acting was so great.
-
21. Falling Into Your Smile
Chinese Drama - 2021, 31 episodes
Completed - 14/12/2021
It was great, completely different to the first e-sport drama I watched. Love the complicity of ZGDX's team.
What they talked about - unless gaming was great and really connected to reality, hope people would have a clearer mind after watching it and should be aware of what they say.
-
22. Jade Dynasty 1
Chinese Movie - 2019
Completed - 16/12/2021
Not bad but not good either. It has a great cast though.
Note: I didn't watch the drama version of it.
-
23. Light on Series: Who is the Murderer
Chinese Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Completed - 21/12/2021
Wasn't expecting it to be this good and addicting.
Is actually one of the Light on Series dramas, I didn't know until I found a comment about it, I should watch the others now.
I really was confused by Zhao Liying's acting at first but in the end it was pretty okay. The ending mostly was pretty sad, I wish the best to our dear characters for the future.
