PSA; Prime Video appears to have all the seasons of The Expanse back for streaming. Top tier sci-fi.

LOL at the Heated Rivalry production accounts being like INTERNATIONAL RELEASE DONE and it’s like five countries. 😭

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.

Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

Just finished my nth comfort re-watch of The Story of Minglan. Truly a god-tier #cdrama for me.

Chinese dramas don’t fit a single mould, which means for those who prefer rugged & gritty dramas with more senior actors, there is a wide pool of dramas to choose from - while for those who prefer a more imaginative play of visual senses, or for romantic flights of fancy, there is a wide choice too

Availability on your platform of choice is a factor here, but I find the view that westerners primarily watch idol c-dramas fascinating.

My friends & I watch a wide range and the ones I rewatch tend to have more experienced actors in their 30s and older. That said, I adore Zhao Lusi and Li Landi.
So I've been thinking a lot about how to answer this question for Cdramas but a) I haven't watched a huge number of them so I'm probably not the best qualified to do it and b) the majority of Cdramas that westerners watch are "idol dramas" which is a small slice of the dramas that China produces.
So I was thinking of asking a question on Reddit, but not sure where the right place would be; for people who watch all three, what are the distinctive hallmarks of a #KDrama vs a #CDrama vs a #JDrama? (I watch all three, but am not savvy enough to distill).
