WILD. Truth is truly stranger than fiction!!
06.09.2025 18:33 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0My last plane trip I was seated next to an old grandma and her ~12 year old grandson. Said kid opted to sleep hunched forward, head on knees, rather than lean back into the seat to sleep. That really says something about a) the seat and b) the flexibility of youth. I ached just watching him.

Phew. Sigh.

(Possibly releasing end of this week? If true, I'm gonna die. I will die double if ZYC shows off some more of his mesmerizing fight scenes.)
Me: forgot I had I to make lunch before work today
Me: that's okay, time for some indulgent takeout I've been craving anyway
Me:
Me:
Me: actually I Need to finish this I think I'm gonna skip lunch
(I did bring an apple so I'm not entirely running on empty. But. I am ready to go home, y'all.)
I am always deeply baffled at how you have flights longer than temporal days.
I hope your back heals quickly!
My car won't start
I have work
Happy new year to me
If it had been a show with 32 episodes it might've fared better. If the story didn't rely on increasingly ludicrous means to push the plot forward, maybe.
Zheng Ye Cheng, get better scripts, please. A proper wuxia show to make use of your skills? Please.
Brocade Odyssey - I wanted to like this. But it was a very one-after-another plot that dragged, a trope that would've been great once got used THREE times, and stuff happened BECAUSE, that's why. The leads are good actors, great microexpressions, but at the end I was just watching ML's fight scenes.
02.01.2025 05:05 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0All right, my opinions about Blossom vs Brocade Odyssey have swapped.
Blossom - fast paced, well-shot, and enjoyable until the end. The ending is a little too neat for my liking, and some characterizations are a tad eh, but it's thematically sound and I enjoyed it all the way through.
I'm hugging you so, so tight. <3

[Villain 1] & [Villain 2] ended up being my favorites from The Double on sheer strength of the writing (not because I like them as people)
I love swords 😂😅⚔️🗡️
I REALLY love smart and capable FLs. Most FLs (except for A Journey to Love) on this list are not fighters so require occasional saving, but I love it when writers let the FL fight out a win completely by their own power and wit, and not "the plan is I do something dangerous and you come save me"
13.12.2024 16:15 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Random additional thoughts:
Mysterious Lotus Casebook has the most respectful treatment of an ex romantic relationship that I've seen in any c-drama
Brocade Odyssey is folding in politics and a revenge plot, but very slowly. It's a lighter drama, so it could be slow burn or slow pacing, YMMV
Yes they're all costume dramas! (I don't watch modern dramas because I can't suspend my disbelief there. 😅) Brocade Odyssey is set in the Tang Dynasty, most are in handwave ancient China.
Happy to yell more anytime! Especially Brocade Odyssey and Blossom as they're still airing.
Viki, please have Chinese subtitles for your cdramas, I'm begging you. 😭

[Villain1] and [Villain2] actually ended up being my favourite characters of the show, even more than the ML and FL! And I don't say that lightly! Obviously they were villains, but damn, the characterizations they took to get there.
The maids get carted off fairly quickly and I do feel like the rest of the show more than makes up for it. I actually found the examination arc more annoying than the maids because of how drawn out that was, but it did have a good payoff at the end, and the show was worth all (1/2)
