The lead actress of the mini dramas I'm watching looks a lot like the lead singer of L'arc~en~ciel when he was younger.

^She looks like this guy.

【完整版结局】她為夫君守了十五年活寡，可後來他卻和白月光一家三口共享天倫，從此她擺起當家主母的架子撕渣男虐小妾，被那個權傾朝野的清冷小叔寵進了骨...

This is not a masterpiece of short dramas but it's unique that the female protagonist is a self made entrepreneur rising from a country woman to being the leader of the local consortium of businessmen.

Lin Zhinian married into the Lu family in the village - likely her husband was conscripted immediately after the wedding banquet or even before since she's never seen her husband. She's the backbone of the Lu family fighting off unscrupulous relatives and villagers covetting their small piece of agricultural land. She rescues her much younger brother-in-law when his parents abandon him to die, sends him to school fuels him to enter officialdom. This is one drama that stands out to me because ML is very clear about his loyalties. He is portrayed as childish compared to the steady FL. Their relationship is one of the most reasonable portrayals in chinese mini dramas.

At no point is FL ever woobified or shown as lesser than the ML who is ruthless when he needs to be. Also love that ML is shown as someone who notices his kids' moods and nuances.

Any other version of this drama would probably weaken the FL making her weepy in the extreme just to show off her "virtue".

In reality, the practice of the widow becoming the "wife" of her surviving brother-in-law the was mortifying for the woman. Apparently it was a countryside practice that wasn't very popular or something to be proud of. The woman would neither be a concubine or a proper wife, she would have to listen to insults from the brother-in-law's wife. The villagers wouldn't let have it easy either. The main purpose of forcing a widow to sleep with her dead husband's biological brother was to beget sons to carry on the decreased bloodline.

Some blogs really do feel like they love sucking the joy out of the shows that most people watch. I get it - people are free to criticise shows that don't jive with whatever artistic/creative sentiments they have. But some posts by specific blogs really do feel like it was written by a pre-pubescent teenager trying hard to be edgy.

Somehow, I sort of get it. After all, negative reports do sell. It's one of the main reasons why news people rarely broadcast "good" news and if they do, it's highlighted as some type of "special" report. As if good rarely comes in real life. Psychologically speaking, bad reviews do bring the likes and re-blogs that some people seem to crave.

But these blogs fall into a pattern. They would follow which show is currently trending, post some positive reviews at the start, then when they find a following, start nitpicking every small detail and write long essays about it. Afterwards, you will find that most of their writing are just them making mountains of criticisms out of a tiny, microscopic molehill.

So, what am I trying to say here? As an avid watcher of these shows and reader of blogs, you need to be more selective which blogs you follow. It is easy to get swayed when somebody you like and respect (to a certain extent) starts hating the show you are currently enjoying. Suddenly, you start to hate the show too for no good reason other than because you read somewhere that the show is not that good.

Despite the criticisms, I always find Marie Kondo's approach to life to be the most practical — if it stops bringing you joy, DROP IT. Use the 'unfollow' button generously. You don't owe anyone anything.

Now, I'm not saying you should turn a blind eye to any criticism. But you do need to be selective and determine the valid criticisms from fallacious and unjustified ones.
