When I listen to music, I often listen to one artist exclusively over long stretches of time. This gives me the opportunity to dive in deeply, and immerse myself, which I like. This time I discovered Yonezu Kenshi for myself, and this is an extra deep dive surprisingly... it's like each of his songs is throwing one or several tiny hooks into my brain to latch on. There's always something in his music that makes my brain intensely happy. One sound. Or a background melody. How does he do that? 😱 😁 (Not to mention the really fabulous lyrics. The price for the best love song is taken, peeps. It's Canary by Yonezu Kenshi.) #jpop #music

Flourished Peony is a heavy topics show... whew. They really should add a content warning for domestic violence, honestly. The story is well told, don't get me wrong, but wow, is this a cold fictional world it takes place in. I think the self-righteousness and self-pity of the abuser is very realistically depicted though. I need a break now. 😵 #cdrama #chinesedrama

iQiYi's AI subtitling is really a joke. Not only does it make no sense, that's even to be expected, the worst thing is when it goes nuts on the credits. They should give a flashing lights warning for that. So, now I guess I have to stop watching or learn Mandarin faster. -.- #cdrama #chinesedrama

And then comes episode 14 of Riverside Code at Qingming Festival and hits you right in the feels. 😭 Both Zhang Yao and Hao Fu Shen are superb in this episode, definitely 2 young actors to keep an eye on. #cdrama #chinesedrama

Riverside Code at Qingming Festival has captured all my attention right now - it's a fantastic show. It's wonderful for many reasons: for the main couple that is not in their 20s. For the realistic portrayal of the younger brother on the spectrum who is not there for comic relief, but as a part of the team/family. For the dignified depiction of the powerlessness of the poorer classes and their fight to survive or get justice anyway. The show was a slow build up, but when it gets going it has quite some storytelling heft. #cdrama #chinesedrama

I'm a bit surprised nobody is talking about Dawn Amidst Hidden Clouds - up to now (ep. 15) it's a quite solid show and the two leads are really good together. Of course they might still botch the ending. And they really should have invested a little bit more in the opening credits. 😅 #cdrama

As I feared, Fangs of Fortune is dropping the plot left and right from episode 25 on. The crying scenes are reaching near parodistic levels. And yet I still love it, because its images are so stunningly beautiful and the whole cast is playing their hearts out. And it did inspire me to bring out my oil pastels again after a long art-ing dry-spell. (The painting is still in WIP stage) #cdrama

I've finished the short #chinesedrama series "To the Wonder" days ago... but it still sticks with me. I want more of this kind of show: it was a wonderful mix of coming of age story, love story, generations story, and how to live as good neighbours with cultural differences story. ^^ All actors were superb, but Ma Yi Li impressed me especially. #cdrama

Sometimes, when my favourite Chinese drama shows get too intense, I need a show that I'm not as invested in as a "break" - that was "Are you the One?" for me. The beginning of the story was so far fetched, I rather watched this with more of a detached interest. Unexpectedly, around episode 20, it got really good. 😆 I really like Liu Miantang's character. She's not the innocent little flower that got harmed by the deception of the prince... quite the opposite, surprisingly. And even if I know, in the end she will probably take him back, I like her intelligent and capable ways fighting for her independence. Some of the secondary characters are also very well written & portrayed, Shi Xueji for example, whose fate is quite a deep reflection on the boundaries women are subjected to and how it's not easy to break free, even if one tries one's best. #cdrama #chinesedrama

Yep, it happened, I'm in love with Go East. A Shu and Yuan Mo are too cute together. ^^ It's also refreshing that for once, when someone asks something, the other answers straightforward and not with 3 layers of misdirections. 😆 #cdrama #chinesedrama

I'm liking Go East more and more. The cast is doing such a great job! And the editing in the Go game scene in episode 10 (I think... I'm losing track 😅 ) was some of the best I've seen in a long time.
[#]cdrama #chinesedrama #goeast #iqiyi <- that's where one could watch it should one be so inclined. coughs - ./hashtag not sponsored of course. Yes, really.

Still absolutely loving Legend of Zhuohua. I'm getting to the last third and this main couple... so good. 😍 Trust & respect. So well written. And performed. #cdrama #chinesedrama

If you've watched all episodes of Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty and are looking for something a little similar, have a look at Go East. It's honestly really good! Similar structure, a little more on the humorous side (yet, looking at the opening titles, drama is coming). And Tan Jian Ci in a comedic role is absolutely brilliant. #cdrama #chinesedrama

I'm majorly confused... AvenueX and other reviewers say "Love's Rebellion" isn't dubbed, yet the first episode I watched was very heavily dubbed to the point where the lip-sync was about 1 sec off (which is a looong time in dubbing)... what's going on there? Also, the voice recording sounded like they took no care at all about spatial setting - the ML was standing far from the camera but sounded like he was speaking directly into the viewers' ears... yes, I do have good speakers. Weird. #cdrama

Yes, I'm drama-hopping again. I really, really like Legend of Zhuohua so far. And I simply adore Ju Li and Zhi Mo. 😊 Best supporting roles in a long time. #cdrama #chinesedrama
