lol - the drama gods must have been reading your posts 😂 🥬

Will Mu Qingyan & Cai Zhao be able to overcome the dividing wall built by previous generations? - this seems to be their challenge in a nutshell

#GenerationToGeneration #cdrama

Yes - I just watched it. I don’t know why Fang Muyang hasn’t used the information he has on her to curb her maliciousness; I guess he’s not malicious himself, so hasn’t thought about it… (yet!)

I know right?! 😡 💊

#LoveStoryinthe1970s has been such an unexpected delight ☺️

(although I am *very much* looking forward to the character Feng Lin getting a taste of her own medicine!)

#cdrama

I haven’t seen #StandByMe, but I’ve watched #NothingButYou, #RoyalRumours (& half of #BePassionatelyInLove) - so I must have seen her in a supporting role before (which is why her face may be familiar), but I honestly don’t remember

The ML’s face is also familiar but I can’t recall from where

Zhang Xinyi

Zhang Xinyi

Don’t these pictures of Zhang Xinyi look a little like Shin Ye-eun? Or am I going face-blind?!

Shin Ye-eun

She looks a little bit like Shin Ye-eun (pictured) - so even though I’ve probably seen her in a supporting role before, I may be mistaking my familiarity with her face with Shin Ye-eun’s!

Yes, it was refreshing to see her exclaim very frankly & honestly how jealous she was of Luo Ningzi - but rather than let it poison her, she turned it into admiration & potentially friendship (fingers crossed 🤞)

I feel I’ve seen the actress before, but I may be getting confused with a Korean actor

Right? Lovely flowing movement!

Poster for the cdrama Too Young to Love

If anyone else is a total sucker for youth cdramas, I just devoured 4 eps of #TooYoungToLove and it’s scratching all the itches 👍 👍

I’ll definitely keep watching 👍

them

But the part I like most so far is the developing friendship with Luo Ningzi

At first I thought they were going to be arch rivals & enemies (there’s still a lot of story left, so it may still be the case); but I was happy to see Luo Ningzi’s cold personality begin to thaw & mutual respect between

I was curious to see what it was like, so I pressed play & watched the first two episodes - & I like it 🙂

It has a slight #ALoveSoBeautiful feel to it - a nice group of friends, with the FL Yi Lan getting support from the sometimes gruff looking but sweet A student ML Tong Xiaole

Here’s Esther Yu (Yu Shuxin) dancing in full costume to the very beautiful OST she sings for the drama (it’s 1 minute in length):

I’m only familiar with #MyJourneyToYou

I haven’t seen it yet, I’ve only watched scenes on YouTube, but it looks very beautifully made (with a dark subdued aesthetic)

Esther Yu plays a serious, sombre role, & there are important supporting roles for Lu Yuxiao & Cheng Lei

Wu Yuheng as Lin Mao

Dong Siyi as Luo Yixiu

The goose couple 🪿 😊

And to you 😊

新年快乐! 🧧

The whole lead up to this moment was so perfectly & movingly done 👌 - just what I had hoped for!

Yes!

Beautiful!

They are so lovely together! He may have screwed up some major things in the past, but he’s been so sweet to her subsequently, & patiently brought her hopes back to life

#KimTaeRi was born in 1990, the year of the White Horse. Imagine a world where her parents decided to not have her because they knew they were having a girl. A world without Kim Tae Ri’s talent. I can’t even fathom it.

After Fang Muyang helps out Fei Ni with some low-key poetic revenge (literally!) on the awful Feng Lin, there are small indications of Fei NI’s growing warmth towards him 🙂
