🚨 I 🖤ed this #cdrama, which features a love story between a strong woman & her biz competitor thrust into a script together. The leads moved from comedic to serious scenes well. This meta story was amusing & enjoyable. Hope some of you will give this gem a try. #cdramas #minidrama #TheLoveDuel #过招
This exhibition title for #BetweenPlanes @westmontcollege.bsky.social's Ridley-tree Museum was so much fun to design! Come on out tonight (11/13/25) from 4-6pm to check out the show and pick up a cool companion brochure.

For my Chinese class I have to do a culture project. I only get 3 minutes, but I really want to mention 2 or 3 cdramas. Alternatively, I can do a cooking demo for like dumpling making or fortune cookies. Ugh, Idk what to do.

I really wanted to talk about The First Frost and Blood River.

Me legit thinking #Felix needs my input on vintage cameras so bad that he's going to actually see it amongst 12,000+ responses. But if I can encourage him to pick up a #DianaCamera and play around with some infrared film, the time spent responding will be worth it! 👍🖤

Spotted #WangXuan starting in episode 8 of #BloodRiver. He plays the Water Official for the Soul Reaper's Hall for sure, but he has other full names yet to be revealed to me as well, imagine they match with what is on mdl. Will be excited to see his character more. Love the white hair! #暗河传 #王轩

Some good news.
Today, a coalition of seven charitable foundations announced the launch of the Literary Arts Fund, a historic philanthropic investment of at least $50 million to strengthen the nonprofit literary arts field in the U.S.

Wow, I know I am not the only one who is blown away by the fight scenes in #BloodRiver. Episode 1 alone was impressive! High production value with excellent cgi putting forth fight scenes with fantastic choreography as well as fascinating weapons and functionality. Well, that was a joy to watch!

Btw: #WangXuan plays a small. support character in the #cdrama #BloodRiver, so if you're a fan keep an eye out for him in a small role: 1 site says he's the Water Official, while MDL says he is Shui Guan [Soul Reapers' Hall]. I've seen positive reactions overall to it so far, so hope it's good.😁

Anyway, I hope #WangXuan gets a great director and some long-form offerings, so he can grow more as an actor.

(Though I am glad he is getting roles in general, so I can enjoy the smooching in at least some #cdramas I am watching.)

He seems like a nice guy his costars seem to be comfortable around.

The more time one gets to prepare & play a character, the more one can become the character. He's playing so many super short-form characters that it must be hard to really craft them. There may also be expectations for how he will play them: sexy alpha, yet lovesick ceo is who they hire him to be.
#WangXuan did well with longer more fleshed out roles like in #TheLoveDuel, #GrabYourLove, & #DoubleLife. I hope he'll get offered more #MiniCdrama roles & a full-length #cdrama to sink his teeth into. The #verticalcdramas don't allow him to spread his wings as an actor, because they are so quick.
🚨😲 Wow, the #VerticalCDrama #LostControlForHim is really spicy and insane right out of the gate. Anyone else watching this insanity?

I must admit I do love the sexy parts. 🔥 That's kinda why I watch #WangXuan #cdramas: guaranteed to be smooching, steam, and sometimes more. 😘

If 1 is 1 of these actors, how many moves do you learn from the #verticalcdrama playbook? I wonder. They cover teasing, verbal foreplay, etc. Sometimes is it inappropriate & unacceptable irl, yes, but I am talking about small acceptable gestures: like roses, jewelry, ties, etc. to amp up the vibe.

100% this!!! The characters are allowed to feel!!! Sometimes there is no real closure/moving on from those feelings too, because much like irl they continue with us too. Perspective shifts, but it doesn't mean we forget.

100% and also real character growth happens. Not like tacked lightly on the top or quickly shown in one scene, but explored in depth throughout with all types of characters: the good, the bad, the sides. Typically, the characters aren't all good or bad; they are rather human.

I love kdramas and yes, but also, one of the things I love is that I am going to get a complete story arc over a season. I'm not going to get part of a story and then it gets canceled because it didn't make infinity money in the first week.
I have no empirical proof, but I feel this is an aspect of why so many Americans keep digging into kdramas. They're tonally expansive with charismatic people solving some problems week-to-week and usually falling in love along the way. S. Korea has hard picked up what we dropped.

What are you watching peeps? I am watching #TheImperialDoctress, #Reset, & finished #FallInLove, which was decent for a #MiniCdrama & a rewatch of #TheLoveDuel, which is a wonderful 1. I finished 2 vertical dramas. #ZaiYuQianRenLianShangTaDeQingShen & another I still don't know the name of.🤣 #cdrama

Day 2 Rewind: I never posted a doctor before, but I am enjoying Tan Yunxian from #TheImperialDoctress. She is so passionate about being a doctor that it comes first in her life, even at the expense of love & in the face of criticism. She grows as the years pass. #女医·明妃传 #cdrama #DramaJobChallenge
