(A)Periodic "Little Forest" appreciation post. Cannot stress this enough, it is THE most healing movie for me. Feels like meditation. While I liked the Japanese version, I am particularly partial towards the Korean one. Just thinking about it makes my heart full.

#Cdrama So your daughter fell in love with a poor boy way below your status, and whose family has brought troubles to your business. At 19, you threatened/blackmailed her into breaking up with him, and sent her abroad. She came back after 10 years, unhappy and single for all those 10 years.

*Finally* Gu Tingye convinces Minglan to have a proper heart-to-heart
He tells her he understands her conflict, & that if she marries him her standing among women will equal his standing among men
“I will not let you be aggrieved & keep things to yourself from now on”

I don't want to be the person who whines about a drama being bad. If I don't like it I can simply just not watch it. Expectations, they make stuff complicated. Something I expected to be good, something I looked forward to, disappointed me. So I sulk.

Cannot help contrasting #FireworksInOurHearts with #LastSummer. I am on Episode 3, and we still don't know why they broke up, but the editing is smoother than the mess #LastSummer is. We get hooked, we get angst but not overreactions, we see the characters' life separately, things are building up.

There is a “tempting fate” kinda quality to reading funny blogs and laughing/smiling while waiting your turn at the dentist’s office. Moments away from resembling my fav #Cdrama characters (Wei Wuxian am looking at you).

#LastSummer Episode 4. I am tired. so very tired. I feel manipulated.

There are some dramas where for some reason,despite decent acting,I am intensely aware of the fact that it IS acting.You know what I mean?Maybe because of the predictability in body language.Or dialogues. #LastSummer feels like that.

See, #aJourneyToLove doesn't not match with #TheStoryOfMinglan or #NirvanaInFire in quality, not even close. But it is one of my favourites. At least the first 36 episodes are. There are many characters in #Cdrama I appreciate, but there is something about #AlanFeng as #YuShisan.

Continuing with #TheImperialCoroner only because I like Wang Zi Qi. Fast forwarding only to scenes with him. The SML, the character Jing Yi, makes me realise just how absolutely wonderful #YuShisan / #AlanFeng was in comparison, in #AJourneyToLove. Squad Goals were awesome in that drama I tell you.

I am so absolutely immersed in #Cdrama world, and suddenly I feel like reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Has anyone read the English translation, or listened to a podcast or something?

On Episode 10 of #TheImperialCoroner. Started FF-ing at this point. Why are #CDrama heroes so nicely written while the heroines are always so meh? We need more female writers, such as in #NirvanaInFire, #TheStoryOfMinglan and #NothingButYou for awesome female characters.

What is this phenomenon where you wait for new episodes of a show you did not like much? #LastSummer was not impressive at the first two episodes. I also have an inkling of what kind of story it will be. But it looks nice- the cinematography (is that is what I mean) is nice. Actors look good.

I cannot understand why #TheManipulated is not on Jiohotstar. Unfair. And no one seems to be talking about it either. Wer dem Indian #JiChangWook fans at?!

Aww. I did not know that MDL gave countdowns! While I did not like the drama progression, I am watching #LastSummer for Lee Jae Wook. And I admit, although it feels like a peeling onion, I am intrigued about the mysterious tragic event that broke the couple apart. Waiting.....

On Ep 3 of #TheImperialCoroner. It is entertaining, although not like any of my favourites. Seems to have the tropes I like.

1/3 Nearing your forties is a strange experience. On one hand, I haven't even done all the nerdy things I wanted to do in my teens. On the other hand, I have little patience for all those nerdy things I wanted to do in my teens. Case in point: The nerd in me wants to explore the Daomu Biji series...

Instagram is deactivated. There had been absolutely no consumption of short form content for some weeks now. Reading blogs. Reading essays, reading The Hindu news. No weird dances, no silliness. Reading Longform in any form reducing my guilt.But now feeling the urge to log back in. For what, anyway?

Now that I am back, and glossing over my love for #Cdrama, I also want to leave an appreciation post for Lee Joe Wook in #LastSummer. Dude's wide strong shoulders getting their workout carrying the drama, but LJW looks absolutely gorgeous. God Bless that lovely innocent smile. <3

Once upon a time I found solace in Kdramas, then Nirvana in Fire happened. Then happened The Story of Minglan. In between came The Untamed, Nothing But You, A Journey to Love, Legend of Zhang Hai, Who Rules the World. And now the bar is so high a giraffe can easily limbo under it. Now what do I do?

I once was a Kdrama addict. Somewhere along the line, shifted to CDramas, and against all my prejudice and preferences, now thinks Cdramas are far more fun. While the No:1 spot on my list goes to "Reply 1988", all the remaining spots are occupied by #Cdramas. I am surprised at myself.

Also, want to express fangirl affection for @canary4d.bsky.social 's Tumblr posts on "The Untamed" and "Nirvana in Fire".Was having a pretty sh*tty day(week, month, year, decade) but I laughed out loud for a long time reading her posts, second best only to watching those fav C-dramas.
