How else would #cdrama like #ABOdesire exist? They’d have to pry away this video of Hua Yong from my cold dead hands

Also he’s the definition of a honey trap

Oh so sweet 🍯

Honestly #myjourneytoyou was 93% just vibes but the aesthetic was flawless. So if your tastes run as shallow as mine, you’re in for a good time.

The way I’ve been waiting for a Ryan Cheng show since #myjourneytoyou - you have no idea. He stood out even in #cdrama shorts like #myhuskyboyfriend
(Side note, that one’s with Cheng Fang Tong who’s built quite a body of work in shorts)

It’s just I’ve caught myself drooling during his scenes

Oh, look!

Yang Yang in my area!

Happiness is reading a book under a Japanese tree lilac on a perfect summer’s day

The perfumed air, the warm breeze, the dappling shadow of the leaves..

This 2008 song by Shahzad Roy - Laga Reh* is ever pertinent. Only now with global relevance

Agreed. I was disappointed that the contemporary versions didn’t express the same heat.

Since we’re on kisses, notable mentions for #whatswrongwithsecretarykim (2018) and #anothermissoh (2016).

The up against the wall is a classic for a reason

Is there a sub category of stoic/laconic hot bodyguards or more accurately in historical #cdrama personal guards?

My first ever sighting of Kwak Dong Yeon was in such a role in #moonlight (2016)

My loves, I have no way to describe what it meant to see Tan Jian Ci do this hip wiggle in ep3 of #filter but this was NOT where I was expecting this #cdrama to go

If you ignore the objectively terrible first couple of eps, the by-the-numbers #cityofromance is a stress free hangout #cdrama

Everything is pretty low stakes but the youthful shenanigans are endearing rather than annoying. The leads are good together and the OST is an added bonus

#thewhiteolivetree wants to humanise ptsd & mental illness so to keep assholes like me watching it gives us selfless protagonists we can’t but help root for + the fluffiest romance possible given the setting. Fewer #cdrama sensationalist tropes than you’d think

This #cdrama scene is just straight up entrapment

The way I screamed out loud at this

Just last week I saw both the train lines mentioned in this thread and reminders of what went down. Tragic that these markers of horror remain unheeded

Why did no one tell me about #bloodyromance ?

Just the opening art has convinced me that this #cdrama potential. A league of female assassins with red and gold umbrellas? I am seated

The #cdrama showcases the two relationships side by side. One that is imploding and the other that is just starting and is all sparkle and fizz.

This is captured in a scene when a flirtatious and fun game of hide and seek with new lover suddenly becomes scary when BF shows up unexpectedly

Winter #cdrama rewatch of #IKnowILoveYou I’m convinced 90% of the reason I enjoy this show is the OST.

Zhang Wan Yi is soft spoken yet unrelenting (a staple for ZWY characters). He has great game and utterly believable as he tempts a woman who’s fallen out of love with her long term boyfriend

In the morning #blossom the emperor ties on his cloak for Song Mo. That same night, as he cooks her a meal himself, he ties on that same cloak so that she’s no longer cold.

Deliberate call back to when she covered him with a cloak after he got out of prison

Lookit this!

Zombies!
Pale horses!
Fireballs of lava!
This #cdrama has everything

I was not familiar with Wang Heye’s game or rather 🫁 capacity - but his track on the #Snowfall OST is excellent. Composition and lyrics are both “let’s burn this to the ground” and I’m definitely vibing with that this week

This hat is objectively terrible. Tell me that’s not foreshadowing. Or foreboding. Anyway, this hat is tragedy waiting to happen.
November 3, 2024 at 11:05 PM
Why is a #cdrama about a 100 year old vampire intent on making me feel things? I was expecting camp, but #Snowfall turned out to be a fairy tale about man’s horror toward man.

Ouyang Nana is luminous as the FL and I just realised she’s the one singing one of my favourite tracks on #Snowfall

My ovaries!

Also the #cdrama OST for #fangsoffortune is great. Every rag tag band of adventurers should have their fight scenes scored to rock music.
November 1, 2024 at 12:36 AM
Why am I watching #cdrama called #fangsoffortune?
I just watched a luscious demon flirt his way into a jail cell, getting a pretty boy hero all hot and bothered, just for a meet cute with our hyper competent FL.

10/10 for aesthetic - let’s see if the rest holds up
