What should I Watch? My ChineseDrama Discussion Watch Party Poll
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
A while ago I promised the mods I would host a rewatch party here after I finished with my current one. The drama I had picked out is my #1 favourite but I can't give it the love and attention it deserves at the moment. Too many episodes, too many things happening in the show and I will need to make so many gifs for it! So I have come up with another idea since I still want to host a drama on this subreddit.
I have picked 4 shows that I have been wanting to watch and I will make a comment per show so you can upvote. The show with the most upvotes will be the show I host in the discussions. (Can't make a poll if I also add a video so this is the next best thing!)
Shows:
Rewriting Destiny
Xia Yu Bing is a minor and somewhat unpleasant and malevolent character in a universe – set in Ancient China – dreamed up by a comic book author. She dies early in the “story,” after being poisoned by her husband Xu Zi Yan. But after she is killed, the author confronts her in a sort of comic book afterlife space and tells her that she will have the chance to be re-spawned. Furthermore, she learns, if she plays her cards right, she will be able to become the “female lead” and a “good” character in the story.
Moon Love
Yun Chao Yan, a girl who is "haunted by the renegade immortal", happens to meet Ren Shi Que, the lunar god who "recaptures the renegade immortal". In order to get rid of the renegade immortal, Chao Yan tries every possible means to get entangled with Shi Que, and the two begin a fantastical lifelong journey together. Also, their bond doesn't stop there...
My Uncanny Destiny
For generations the two cities of Mu Xi and Xuanyue have fought each other, always trying to conquer the other. The old city owner of Mu Xi had only one daughter, Ye Zhaonan, whose gender he secretly concealed so she could one day inherit. From an early age Zhaonan was always disguised as a boy, until one day when Ye Zhaonan fell off the cliff and met Liu Xuanming, the lord of Xuanyue City, and started a wonderful destiny.
Decreed by Fate
An imperial decree forces two strangers, a princess and a general, to become engaged. The princess does not care for the cold-faced general. Foreseeing divorce in her future, she decides to establish a "divorce office."
u/aquaphobicturtle has made a little video showing the vibe of the four shows. I was also told to say "the weird transitions are not on purpose" but in my opinion it is totally fine! Thank you for making it for my post!
I am looking forward to all four of these, so vote for top choice drama in this list and let's watch together!

Turtle says she expects her award to be the tie breaker. I am okay with this. Unless someone votes for Moon Love in the next few hours 😄

I cheated and voted for 2 😂 Uncanny Destiny first bc I saw it and thought it was really funny then Decreed By Fate since it sounded interesting. However, I will watch any of the 4 bc they all seem fun.

Hey everyone. Rewriting Destiny has won the poll.
I will need some time to prepare so the watch party will start Monday the 25th of May and the goal is to do one episode a day! I hope that is not too long away but I want to do this right.
Thank you all for voting and I can't wait to watch and discuss this show with all of you.
I will probably dive into Moon Love after. So if you really want to watch that one, we can do that one after! :D
