THEY are beautiful, talented and sentimental. They believe in destiny and true love. They would overcome every hardship to be with their sweetheart.

Welcome to the romantic world of "Idol TV dramas". When you've cried and laughed through the ups and downs of those lovely heroes and heroines on TV, you must think about your own love life as well. Do you want a relationship like theirs, full of drama? Or, do you think that these dramas are not like a real-life relationship? To find out, 21st Century talked with some young people to get their answers:

These TV dramas have had a great influence on our generation. When we watched Meteor Garden (《流星花园》), we were about 13 or 14 years old, a period when boys and girls begin to feel a natural affection towards the other sex. This kind of TV drama soon became a fad following Meteor Garden's success. They affected our ideas about love, filling our imaginations with innocent, romantic love.

As we grow and have richer experiences outside, we gradually see how precious a true loving heart is. And the sameness of the plots in those dramas begins to bore us. They become entertainment, not a textbook of love any more.

The romantic love of the dramas would no doubt be beautiful and precious in real life, if it existed.

The TV series Gossip Girls is popular among university students. Serena, the heroine, has even become a role model. We dream that one day we can become as beautiful and sexy as Serena, and be admired by everyone. Unconsciously, we grow too proud of ourselves and set really high standards for our boyfriends. At the same time, most of us believe that a boy should be stronger than a girl. However, with such standards set according to the TV dramas, it's unlikely that we'll get such a perfect guy in real life. Girls need to get down to earth.

I rarely watch these dramas. The settings and plots are exaggerated and far from reality. It seems that only those extremely handsome, rich guys can be heroes. I'm just an ordinary person, with a plain face and an average family background. I don't expect a girlfriend as pretty as the heroines in the dramas – we wouldn't make a good match.

Besides, it's romantic dramas from South Korea, Japan and Taiwan that fill the mainland's screens. The socio-economic gap between these places and where I live makes it impossible for me to have a lifestyle like the characters in those dramas.

Struggling (《奋斗》), starring Tong Dawei and Ma Yili, is the only drama that has attracted my attention. It has had some effect on me. For instance, Mi Lai, the ex-girlfriend of the hero, has a tough, tolerant personality. I hope that, someday, I could meet such a girl.

However, many girls' minds are poisoned by romantic dramas, and they dream unrealistically of a romance that their boyfriends can't afford. One of my friends was a victim of this kind of drama when he was rejected by a girl for not being as handsome as the heroes of South Korean dramas. I may go looking for someone who's not interested in TV dramas.
