Best Character surnamed : Zhao
Come and vote for the best characters with the same surname!*
What does best mean? It's up to you! Whether you love them, are intrigued by their characters, love to hate them, or they're your '2 second blorbos whose personality you made up wholesale', these are all reasons for you to vote for your favs!
*note, the surnames are not exactly the same in all the cases, as often there will be a different character. I am, however, grouping them all together otherwise things got more complicated.
Propaganda is very welcome! If I’ve forgot anyone, let me know in the notes.
This is part of a larger series of ‘best character with X surname’ polls’. The overview with ongoing polls, winners, and future polls can be found here

Me: The cultural emphasis on romance as the most important form of interpersonal relationship is damaging and false
Me the moment I start watching a TV show: They’re dating. And also those two are dating. And those three. And this one is dating both those two and they’re fine about it. In fact everyone in the whole show is part of a polycule
#a league of nobleman#mysterious lotus casebook#oh my general#the blood of youth#I should start applying this to the untamed also just for fun actually I think it would solve approximately zero problems

Oh My General | 将军在上 Ep.08
LFMAO welcome home slut darling.
#Oh My General#this show is wild#his concubines are overly invested in her marriage to him b/c she's doing a better job of taking care of them than him#his mom tried to humiliate her by asking her to find him better concubines and she came up with answers so fast his mom was like#“...are you finding concubines for my son or for yourself????”#most queer coded m/f couple since 有翡#though I guess this show technically came out prior to 有翡

If you ever want a rec for a Chinese historical drama, I'm not an expert but I have seen a lot of them.
My general all round recs are Empresses in the Palace (also known as the Legend of Zhen Huan) for classic palace drama, with a satisfying end.
I feel so spicy about this drama, its so good. Zhen Huan character of all time.
Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, which is probably my favourite I think? Zhou Xun, who plays Ruyi is astounding, very subtle and understated and emotive at the same time.
The Story of Ming Lan is so good, it's all about family and rising against circumstance. Ming Lan is a joy of a character, she's so clever and tough behind this delicate front, and she has such rage in her.
And Oh My General for being wildly queer while resolutely heterosexual in the weirdest ways.
What if a jock dated a theatre kid, but the jock was a female soldier who has been living as a man to lead an army, and the theatre kid was a spoiled imperial family member who has had nothing expected of him ever.
What if she was a goofball and he was a prissy bitch but then he falls in love with her because she's the only person whose ever looked at him and expected him to be something!

I am incredibly normal about stories where women disguise themselves as men to do something that women have been forbidden to do
my obsession with them says nothing personally about me as a person in any way once so ever

The scene from drama

My favorite part of oh my general is that every beautiful woman falls in love with Ye Zhao, sending her husband(s) scrambling. It wouldn’t take much for Zhao Yujin to convince Hu Qing that crossdressing is the only option.
All 60 episodes are subbed on Youtube I am begging you all to watch this
#oh my general#you can tell exactly where i gave up#zhao yujin#hu qing#idk if there's a ship name for them? or the three of them? (four counting prince yinuo)#idk i could find any fanart and there's only 15 fics on ao3#10thmusemoon art#将军在上#General Above I Am Below

Hi [Character],
I notice that you haven't responded to my email about the [Terrible and Useless Committee] that I'm putting together. Don't worry, I know you just forgot so I've put you down as a member anyway. See you at the meeting this evening.
[Person Who Has Just Ruined Your Day]
I'm sure that we've all had similar emails to this (just me...?). Usually the two choices are to join the committee (and suffer) or refuse (and worry that everyone hates you) (just me again...?).
However, in cdrama there is a very logical, very necessary third path!
Faking your own death.
Now, is there a convenient cliff anywhere around here...
Propaganda, examples, and write-ins are absolutely encouraged!

Rewatching oh my general and the ethnicity of all these guys the chinese are always fighting is probably furs.
This show is not more popular because of how offensive grandpa Ye is...
(eunuch-shaming)
Ye Zhao's one crime is that she spent all that bisexuality on the "i like my men pretty and delicate like girls"
There he is! This romance is so progressive and comfortable with itself that it circles back to being problematique. Mainly because of the chinese spirit of let's match everyone so that they'll be at their most productive. No, some queers out there enjoy languishing in loneliness and futile endeavours, let us be. And by let us be I mean feed us more fantasy like this.

I've never cared about people sleeping with full make up and head jewelry in chinese shows, mostly because they are so pretty, I would probably keep it on in real life as well 🤣🤣.
But for fuck's sake, why on everything that's holly in this world, are those horses so ugly. It happenes in every single chinese period drama. And the horse tacks, sweet Eru 🤦♀️!
Those are imperial horses as well! As a prince or princess I would be so embarrased to use such an ugly horse tack. You keep all this gold on your head, but you can't spare some extra money on actual reins instead of worn out rope?
Shame on you. Shame on your horse.
#till the end of the moon#ever night#tribes and empires#general and i#nirvana in fire#the sleuth of ming dynasty#oh my general#this is where turkish shows are superior because they have their priorities right#aka the horse must be prettier than the ML
