Did you watch any of the movies I mentioned? Plus I'm surprised you actually have that high of a standard for Chinese movies considering that I think you previously mentioned how Wolf Warriors 2 was a masterpiece and lamented how China doesn't make those kinds of movies anymore.

I think you're the only one with that opinion of the C-Drama industry. The last good C-Drama was Long Season, everything else after that has been half-assed crime dramas or that Xianxia crap that keeps getting made even if they always debut to 5.9 on Douban. All those movies I mentioned score 8 and above Douban, which is pretty unprecedented in the Chinese entertainment industry. It's literally been 2 years though, since a C-Drama has scored 8 and above on Douban. They're so bad nowadays that even scoring 7.5 is a miracle.

Long Season and Dead to Rights seem like worth giving a shot.

Well that is a bit judgemental.
What kind of race science bullshit is this?

The thing is, small OR big cultural exports are cultural exports nonetheless, they WORK.

My mum as of now has been watching CN drama on WeTV, does that mean my mother is somehow stupid and shallow based on your argument?

It‘s not race, just culture. I can‘t think of a single good movie made in South East Asia. In the meantime take a look at Iranian movie industry which pumps out diamonds every 2 years or so despite facing a lot of headwind. That‘s what you cal good movies that leave a footprint.

A bit late to the party, but I just finished To Be A Hero X and man it's a masterpiece. Just the animation, the ecomotional depth of the storytelling, the way all the anthological and nonlinear elements build off one another and ultimately come together at the end. Whether or not its better than Link Click comes down to your own personal preference, but I feel it exceeds Link Click infinitely in ambition. Such an ambitious show will stumble here and there. I see the common consensus is Loli being the weakest story thread, although I actually liked her. I was more bored by Little Johnny's story thread, but perhaps it will have good pay off in Season 2.

Chinese animation this year has just been insane though. Chinese video games were already the spear tip of the Chinese entertainment industry, now Chinese animation is easily the second line following the vanguard.
