#EYDC2025 Day 19: Drama that made you laugh
The 2024 #cdrama #LaterILaughed was hilarious and at times too real. A woman decides to try stand-up comedy to get her frustrations with life out. I think this was one of my favorites all year.

Mention of open endings in #cDrama reminded me of one outstanding example. #LaterILaughed missed the mark for me in some ways but the last 2-3 eps were outstanding and its very open ending was quite literally the best possible way to wrap it in a manner consistent with the theme of the story.
"Show, don't tell" - this is often cited as a rule for TV shows and movies, visual storytelling in general. Which is why I absolutely LOATHE voice-over narration as a storytelling device in dramas. In "Later I Laughed" there was an utterly obscene amount of it. So much so in the first third, I very nearly dropped it. Since the entire point of the drama is about a woman finding her voice, the writer(s) deserves a Lifetime Irony Achievement Award for deciding that viewers needed, not just a voice, but a man's voice to literally tell them what is going on. I would have scored it not less than 9.5/10 if only it had trusted viewers to work it out for themselves and not need a man to literally talk them through almost every scene in the first 40% or so of the show. The voice-over narrative dominated the first episode - approximately 50% of the subtitles, but even by episode 12, halfway through the drama, that repellent and redundant feature was still shattering my immersion in the story. Hooray for the priceless combo of mute and FF Which was a criminal shame, because at its core, this was an exceptionally good Drama. The growth of ALL the leads was remarkable. The final two episodes were among the best of I've ever seen. Sh Ye's uttterly unfunny monlogue at the comedy competition totally nailed everything I'd been thinking about his character, and the journey her ex-fiance took over the courswe of the story was amazing. Had they shot (or fired) the narrator and ditched the tired, trite, clichéd "Mum's got cancer" (apparently required by law in any female-centric C-Drama) episodes, this could have been another 10+ from the PRC for me.
8/10 for #cDrama #LaterILaughed - coulda woulda shoulda been so very much more, but
And i loved the humour! My thats of course only my subjective taste...
I'm especially interested about your review if you choose #LaterILaughed 😊
My current PTW:
Barely 25% are #kDrama
#cDrama supplies 2 out of 3 longest runtimes and the third shortest.
BOTH Chinas have a Drama about a female comedian - #cDrama #LaterILaughed and #twDrama #ForgetYouNot
The Drama with the longest total runtime has the shortest episode length #jDrama Anpan
I’ve watched and did enjoy #LaterILaughed. I even put it in the drama recs challenge. It’s not brilliant but it hit a nice spot for me.
A hilarious comedy is the day 13 Asian drama recs challenge. I don’t usually watch all-out comedies, so instead I’ll choose a C-drama that is a mix of funny and dramatic (partly due to the god-like narrator’s voice and insights 😁) and also is a drama actually *about* stand-up comedy: #LaterILaughed.
For a lovely, gentle (but not boring!) and fun modern drama, I’d suggest #YouAreMyLoverFriend (just ignore the bad title). Alternatively, I also liked #LaterILaughed (although I have to admit that one’s on pause at the moment).
I got really into it and watched the first half pretty quickly. I sort of drifted off and got caught up in other shows but I definitely recommend it. As described in this thread, it’s fresh, enjoyable and well done. 👍 #LaterILaughed
#LaterILaughed foi mais uma ótima surpresa da china nesse finzinho de ano!
Um drama sobre ter coragem de retomar as rédeas da própria vida e se livrar/enfrentar ambientes e pessoas opressoras e oportunistas, o que na teoria é lindo, mas na prática nem sempre é tão fácil.

“Reconhecimentos podem ser atrativos, mas nossa vida está repleta de silêncios constrangedores. Felicidade e satisfação são apenas momentâneos. Solidão, frustração, constrangimento e desapontamento sempre estão conosco.”

I started #laterilaughed and it is very good but ohmygod watching this girl get trodden on over and over is a slog. I know she’ll snap soon and we’ll get to the crux of the plot but DAMN.
