The ML having multiple wives is going to be the least disturbing thing about this man, and it's going to be the thing that bothers 90% of viewers the most. 😭😭😭

[fiddleyoumust]

Have you ever gotten sucked into one of those ridiculous cdrama verticle short ads on Instagram or TikTok? No? Well, good for you, but I have an addictive personality, and I'm a Scorpio. I love DRAMA and REVENGE and grew up on nighttime soap operas like Dynasty and Falcon's Crest. So, if you're like me and love CAMP and ridiculous drama, come with me on this journey as I introduce you to some of my favorite vertical drama actors.

1. Jiao Pei Kai/Bai Fengwen

This man is aging like a fine wine. He gets better looking in every new drama I've seen him in. My favorite of his dramas is Beauty Warbler with Yu Yin, in which he plays a rich boy who lets himself be used by an FL who is trying to make the man she loves jealous by sleeping with someone else. The FL's family background is sinister as hell, and the man she's in love with has very much groomed her from a young age. The whole thing is handled remarkably well for a verticle short, and I just really liked the evolution of the main couple from FWB to more.

It's on YouTube with terrible subs, but the land of verticle shorts is riddled with disappointment 😂😭. Watch it anyway.

2. Ke Chun

Look, the world of verticle shorts is filled with outrageous things, so hot men smoking is the least of our worries. Yes, yes. It's very bad for you. Don't do it at home, but let all of these attractive men do it on film because I personally think it's hot, okay?

My favorite Ke Chun drama is Save Myself (also with Yu Yin!). In which, you guessed it, the FL saves herself by using Ke Chun's character's wealth and power to escape her HORRIBLE, NO GOOD family. Warning for abuse and incestuous intentions (her uncle is literally keeping her like a bird in a cage because he was in love with her mother, and she has grown up to look like her mom. You get the sense it's only a matter of time before he uses force on her, hence her being desperate to FLEE.)

Sadly, this one has been taken off YouTube repeatedly, but you can still watch it on dailymotion.

3. Liu Lan Bo

This man is fine. Look with your special eyes! He's done a TON of verticle shorts, so if you would also like to look at him more, go forth and look him up on YouTube. My favorite of his is Reborn In Your Embrace, in which the FL gets murdered by her fiance/husband and is reborn. She decides to get revenge and gets help from her husband's enemy.

4. Wang Yi Lei

I have a thing for people with beauty marks on their faces, and this man has the prettiest little mole under his eye. He's also just extremely handsome.

I don't think I've watched anything from him I've disliked, but I'll rec this one. There's a common theme in verticles where some rich guy keeps a lover, which I'm fine with. Feminism is also letting women sleep with hot men for money, villas, cars, and jewelry even if you personally wouldn't 😂. But most of them involve a lot of abuse that isn't properly resolved, and I'm not here for that nonsense.

In this show, the FL is down to be a kept lover, but not a kept mistress. When our ML gets engaged to a family approved, appropriate woman who matches him in status, the FL immediately bounces, much to the confusion of our ML, who arrogantly thought he could have his cake and eat it too. He spends the rest of the drama figuring out what he actually wants (the FL) and how to get her back (stop being a dumbass ).

5. Yao Guan Yu

Guanyu, oh Gunayu, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. This man is my #1. I'm obsessed with him. The more psycho he is in a drama, the more I believe I could fix him. (No, I really can.)

I've got two recs for him, although I legit watch everything he's in (OBSESSED WITH HIM).

First, he plays a terrible man who is terrible (but hot). He's been sleeping with a woman for 3 years. She wants to get married, he doesn't (he's got his reasons, but she also has hers and wants to be married even if it's not to him). Neither of them are WRONG until she leaves him and starts dating a perfectly nice man, and our ML loses his mind and starts an unhinged harassment campaign. Full warning, this woman should run, but instead, he's going to come around on marriage, and they're going to end up together because verticle dramas have problems with understanding consent and abuse 😭😂😂😭😭. Anyway! Did i mention he's so hot????

The second rec is a really sweet arranged marriage trope in which our ML has liked our FL since college. He was a senior when she was a freshman and was focused on getting his career started, so he didn't pursue her. Flashforward a few years. They are both working in adjacent fields and meet again on a blind date. She remembers him from college because he was handsome and insanely popular, and she can't believe her life when he suggests they get married.

6. Cao Tian Kai

This man is atypical in that he doesn't LOOK like most vertical short actors. I think he's insanely handsome, and he likes to take his shirt off a lot, so you know. In one drama, he inexplicably goes around in a suit jacket without a shirt underneath. I'm not complaining.

My favorite of his dramas is this one in which he plays the friend of the FL's older brother. The FL is an adopted daughter who ends up falling in love with her brother (they are not related by blood, but he and his parents are NOT here for it). As a result of her feelings being discovered, she's sent abroad for 3 years to study/work and get some separation between her and her brother. Upon her return, determined to steer clear of her brother in any way that could be misinterpreted, she continuously gets tangled up with her brother's friend. Feelings between them start to develop.

7. Zeng Hui

Guess what? He's handsome. I know, I know. It's a running theme. But when you're dedicating 1.5 to 3.5 hours of your life to almost nothing but nonsense, it's important for the people to at least be very beautiful.

All his best dramas, he's co-starring with his real-life girlfriend Han Yu Tong. They have great chemistry and she's also very beautiful, so DOUBLE WHAMMY. My bisexuality is alive and well with these two.

The plot of this one is too convoluted to put into words, but the jist of it is the FL is seeking revenge on the 2nd FL for EXTREMELY VALID REASONS and one of the things she's gonna do is seduce this woman's husband away.

8. Li Zi Jie

Last but not least. Cuz like... look at him. The lips 😫. Please go watch all his stuff on YouTube, especially this banger where he has a one nightstand with the wife he's never met, becomes obsessed with her and tries to divorce her so he can be with... her. Truly hilarious and ridiculous shenanigans are happening here, but I enjoyed every minute.
