I'm still VERY MUCH a Mastodon first social media kinda guy, but since I'm "here" a bit more often, and mostly for #KDrama #CDrama #JDrama stuff, here's my current list, having recently (Jan 2025) completed my 500th East Asian Drama.

I like JCW, but Ms Imada has REALLY impressed me recently with her versatility - from Trillion Game to the asadora Anpan. Lookingg forward to this
#ImadaMio and #JiChangWook announce they will star in Disney+ first Korean-Japanese co-production drama #MerryBerryLove.

Yeah, so much better than the domestically produced dross in, where do you live again? Oh, that's right - CHINA. 🙄

You know you're older than dirt when you see this and think "the perfect cue for some Old Spice PPL" #cDrama #SixSisters 😆

I was going to put #cDrama #SixSisters on hold, but when I finally recognised Janice Wu as sister Nr 4, I had to keep going. SO great to see her in a good role again

Gotta love the unfiltered honesty of kids: Ethan Nwaneri visits his old primary school as part of Arsenal's community programs and a kid says "I like Saka, have you met Saka?" 😀

You know you're a #jDrama fan when the two actors named here are listed in the wrong order for you 😆

Whether #cDrama or #kDrama when this happens I hate the way bloggers focus on the wrong people. "especially for (an actor)"? I would say her's hoping it's fixed soon especially for the overworked and underpaid schlubs who always get shafted in these situations"

I adore Chajumma, but am I the only desi-adjacent #kDrama fan who can't help thinking of Big B in this photo? 😀
Upcoming tvN kdrama #RetiredAgentManagementTeam has offered the leading roles to #ChaSeungWon and #KimDoHoon.

The story follows a X-Gen retired agent and a Z-Gen super ace as they hunt down an insider who's been operating behind a criminal organization for over 25 years.

Up to the point in #cDrama #SixSisters where an ancient and deeply beloved Chinese tradition was restored after the end of the Cultural Revolution. I love how just its name summons up such a beautifully expressive face and instinctive coping mechanism. 😀

Into ep 9/38 in #cDrama #SixSisters and it's OK. My interest did take a hit with the "young" leads being replaced unnecessarily early imo, but it's not dropworthy. But it's not grabbing me the way #ThisThrivingLand did, so it will go on hold for now. Time to check the 8 #kDrama entries on my PTW

The "age change" for the oldest sister in #cDrama #SixSisters has happened now. I wondered why there was EXTREME soft focus on the new FL then realised "50 playing 25 - that's why" .🙂

In #cDrama #SixSisters the OTP's families make Montagues & Capulets seem like BFFs, that bitter past will poison their future. I'm now starting a WORSE feud against @jamesdramac.bsky.social for reminding me of all the #cDrama on YT. The kids I never had will teach their kids the meaning of HATE 😆

Day 12: A song for a cloudy day.

It's bucketing down here now, early on the 12th, so here's my STUNNINGLY imaginative, very left-field pick 😆

And here's a scene from ep 4 of #cDrama #SixSisters just for @jamesdramac.bsky.social - Shen Yue's character taking his side very emphatically 🙂
November 12, 2025 at 11:34 AM
Seeing these 2 is a great reminder of what ACTING is all about. I hated his character in ALSB for his stalkerish pursuit of Shen Yue's character, though he did grow into a good friend. Jump forward 9 years & I'm SERIOUSLY annoyed they're only the 'young' version of this couple and will soon leave 😢
November 12, 2025 at 11:27 AM
Into episode 4 of #cDrama #SixSisters and it's going well. Great to see Shen Yue starting to stretch her wings beyond idol dramas but also a STUNNING lesson in the value of patience here:

The 2ML FINALLY gets the girl - NINE YEARS LATER (and in a completely different drama, but pfft, details)
November 12, 2025 at 11:09 AM
I'm taking the fact that I watched the entire opening credits sequence(I normally FF) for #cDrama #SixSisters episode 1 and really enjoyed the song as a good omen. Fingers crossed CCTV keeps delivering for me, and looking forward to seeing Shen Yue in a role outside her usual idol Drama leads.

Mention of open endings in #cDrama reminded me of one outstanding example. #LaterILaughed missed the mark for me in some ways but the last 2-3 eps were outstanding and its very open ending was quite literally the best possible way to wrap it in a manner consistent with the theme of the story.
November 11, 2025 at 10:47 AM
1 reason I keep my own personal Drama database is being able to check very specific stats. The last #cDrama on my current PTW is a CCTV show. CCTV has the lowest drop rate for me of any Chinese network (the only one <50%) & the highest average score for completed Dramas: 9.4/10 So I'm sanguine
November 11, 2025 at 10:37 AM
From the "fool me once shame on you, ..." files - I had 2 #cDrama time travel stories on my PTW. Then I thought "hang on, #cDrama time travel always means AWFUL ending" - check MDL & bingo! EVERY critical review of both was about the ending. One had many "stop before the finale" reviews. So I did😀
November 11, 2025 at 10:18 AM
Wading through ep2 of #cDrama #OurGeneration still unsure if I'll stick it out as so far it's another cookie-cutter college cliché but this line from an MDL review DID make me smile. Complaining about its "such a low rating (7.9)"

"When you do a review, it's not about your taste of drama"🤔😆
November 11, 2025 at 9:08 AM
Now THAT was something I didn't expect in #cDrama #OurGeneration - kids in a classroom singing to the tune of "frere Jacques" - thanks to Wikipedia for info on '2Tigers' Also got me thinking how even as a kid in far off #Aoteroa in the 70s, the French words were the ones I learned
November 11, 2025 at 8:22 AM
An utterly redundant word in this #OurGeneration subtitle - "boy genius" needless repetition, since no other type is permitted or indeed conceivable in #cDrama youth Dramas
November 11, 2025 at 8:01 AM
Starting #cDrama #OurGeneration and 2 minutes into ep 1 already a weary "here we go again" moment.

"My Dad says a real top student's moving in"

How I wish that, sight unseen, I didn't automatically know that top student would be a boy. "top student" and "girl" impossible/verboten in #cDrama STILL
