"What you don't know about Jang Hyuk ain't worth knowing" - Uncle Robin
Someone on Reddit posted this under the NSFW tag and I cannot stop laughing 🤣🤣 #cdrama #LiuYuning

Day 3 Honorable Mention goes to Satoh Takeru. I'd seen him before in First Love but didn't like his character so he didn't make much of an impression. Then I saw him in Marry My Husband Japan and realized this man can act his ass off. #jdrama #EYDC2025

Day 3 Favorite Actor Discovered in 2025 is Liu Yuning. I remember first seeing him and thinking not much of his looks but I was 5 eps into A Dream Within a Dream when I was like hold up this man is HOT. He's that rare combo of super masculine + babygirl + funny + smart as hell 🫦🥵 #EYDC2025 #cdrama

Honorable mention to Koshiba Fuka in Marry My Husband Japan. She was so sweet, funny warm and relatable in an adaptation that focuses on the FL's emotional Journey over the revenge. #EYDC2025 #jdrama

Finished The Dream Life of Mr. Kim and gave it an 8.5. It's the best kdrama with the most unpleasant drama watching experience I've ever had. Extremely well directed and acted and mostly well written except for one weak storyline but watching it made me feel like I was dragged through a hedge.

Here's my suggestions broken out by modern and historical Cdramas.

What life was like with Chula: We gave her a personal Chromebook to use for watching bird videos because otherwise she'd keep waking us up at 3:30 am. #cat #cats #catsky

Couldn't talk about this yesterday but we had to put our 20-year-old cat to sleep. Chula was larger than life, a tiny bit of fur with a huge voice who demanded attention at all times and ran us around the house. We loved her to pieces. Everything is too quiet today. #cat #cats #catsky

Jdramas are a lot more popular but still niche. Thai dramas are only leading in BL and GL.

Good morning and happy #EYDC2025!

Day 1: Which country's dramas have you watched the most of goes to Japan, which is something I absolutely would not have predicted at the start of the year. But Japan put out some damn good dramas this year and four of my five top fave dramas are Jdramas.

The Great Queen Seondeok was made in 2009 and look at the difference in the appearance of the actress compared with actresses today. She's beautiful and a healthy weight but she'd be told to get lip fillers, lose 10 pounds and get the IU drip #kdrama

Phoarrrrrr also here's a video about the 🍰 he has in the oven

Today is my birthday so if anyone wants to share hot pics of Jang Hyuk and Liu Yuning I'd greatly appreciate it 🫰🫶 #kdrama #cdrama

I found a hilarious post on Xiaohongshu from an artist management agent discussing the negotiations that go on when there's a drama kissing scene. It's literally down to "you can put your lower lip on her upper lip for 2.5 seconds" and this explains A LOT #cdrama 🔗 xhslink.com/o/2zkAvb4Z9lS

Ryu Seung Ryong is absolutely brilliant and deserves his Chungmuro designation but I also have to shout out Myung Se Bin as the wife who starts to blossom as her husband fades and Jung Eun Chae as the factory forewoman (she was brilliant in Jeongnyeon and is crazy underrated)
November 28, 2025 at 7:17 PM
The Dream Life of Mr. Kim: Probably the highest quality Kdrama of 2025 and also one of the least enjoyable watches I've had this year. It's so painful to see him get stomped by the company while he keeps twisting himself into knots so they can get a better shot at him.
November 28, 2025 at 7:17 PM
So apparently this is the issue. Ugh #cdrama #kdrama #jdrama

I'm not having problems with the subs, it's just that the video does not look high def. I googled and found this comment on Reddit

Tbf there's very few men who can pull off Qing hair 😭😭 even at the time people had to be coerced into wearing it by the Manchus. Huang Haibing is one of the few who looks good in it.

Moar: this was the state of stalking laws in China in 2021 and I don't think things have changed much which is why celebs have so many problems #cdrama

You can also translate the Chinese captions on the video by selecting them using the screencap option in Chrome and thes copying the text into Google translate (if you're insane like me and motivated to do this). Not just his words but his eyes communicate how upset he is. #cdrama #LiuYuning

I have enjoyed some fluff but mostly I want the struggle!
