Finished Brocade Odyssey! Didn't stop watching it or fast forwarded any episodes, lol. What a surprise of a drama, unexpectedly ended up as one of my favourite watches of the year! The face swapping that initially put me off watching ended up not being a bother. Loved it! #cdrama

Anyone else spot the Blue Meanie figurine at the start of Love on the Turquoise Land? Terrifying character from The Beatles' Yellow Submarine film. Still haunts me, that voice! *shudder* Was just amused at unexpectedly seeing it here! #cdrama

The ML in Brocade Odyssey, Zheng Ye Cheng, has quite won me over in this drama. He seems to have about 9 dramas on the horizon, but a good number appear to be in limbo! Hoping we'll see more of him in 2026! #cdrama

The imperial centre of Ming China, the Forbidden City.
Yongle’s gigantic assertion of legitimacy.
Nine is an auspicious number for the imperial family and so there are 9,999 rooms.

Day 14: Child Performance
I'm not usually keen on child actors but Li Zhi Mo as the young sister in Les Belles completely won me over!
Hard to get images and clip but you can see her in this trailer:

Watched episode 1 of 'The Last Samurai Standing' on Netflix. Very good but very stressful! Watching with the eng dub, I am watching with someone who prefers this setting. Usually would hate this BUT I think the English dub is done very well. Anyone else watching? #Jdrama

Day 13: Propulsive Action Scene
A few scenes came to mind, but this won the pick for me. Blossom, the awesome fight scenes at the start - and specifically with the speer! So cool. Beautifully shot and was important to the plot.

Finished Si Jin! Think it might be one of my all time top favourite dramas now, absolutely loved it! Worth the 40 episodes, never bored and a decent ending for all the characters involved! #cdrama

Saturday has become a 3 bl drama day for me again. Though I'm not sure I'm enjoying watching 'The Wicked Game' anymore tbh. 'Tide of Love' was interesting, I watched it without reading the plot! 😆😅 But my favourite of the three was "To My Shore' on viki. Bit confusing but I'm in, lol.

I loved the animated tales they did in the early 90s. This illustration is taken from the book that went with it. Thank you #BBCShakespeare

Don't think I'll be watching any other dramas until I finish Si Jin. 4 episodes left and it's getting to be very stressful and intense viewing! 😅 I love it!

A radio programme like the Shipping Forecast but it’s called Bin Day and it just reads out every single council in the country’s bin schedule
