    1. Try the World

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 40 episodes

    7.0

    Recommended by: Moon

    Completed: 10/24/24

    Country: China
    Episode Count: 40 ep. 45 min.
    Watched on: Netflix

    Genre: Wuxia, political, romance-ish

    ♫ - 一梦浮生 - 汪苏泷
    ♫ - 如梦 - 賴美雲 

    Vibes:

    ✓ strong female lead
    ✓ they didn't pit the SFL against the FL ⊹sismance⊹ <3
    ✓ whispy bangs
    ✓ good kiss scenes (no fish eyed kisses here)
    ✓ a healthy, strong relationship where the leads support each other wholeheartedly, they communicate and are mature
    ✓ white haired men always get me good


    Not Vibes:

    ✗ i'm often bored during political scenes or when male lead is alone
    ✗ MLs like step mom or whatever (big ole POS)
    ✗ the way they set up he ML's older brothers villian origin story but then never followed through
    ✗ this super unserious feeling and very convenient scene where he saves her
    ✗ a pointless, shocking death at the very end that was not really relevant to the story

    Important to note: I was moderately enjoying this for the first 20 episodes, but then I went on a trip and fell into a slump upon return. The second half was really, really hard for me to get through due to this slump. I had to force myself to get to the finish line for this one. I can't say without certainty that I wouldn't have enjoyed this more if I hadn't fell into that slump.

    Memorable episodes: Ep. 31, Ep. 38

    Final thoughts: Overall, it was just okay for me. I was often bored and honestly not paying much attention the second half of this drama unless the music changed to signify something of importance was happening. I don't think it's accurately fair for me to rate this drama because if it wasn't for a challenge, I would have abandoned it a long time ago. I don't think I gave it enough attention for my rating to have any validity.
