#cdrama I've started #RoyalBetrothal (at ep. 6) and #MysticNine (at ep. 3). Storyline of RB seems a bit formulaic, while MN looks exciting at the start (#WilliamChan from #NovolandPearlEclipse and #JosephZeng make dazzling entrances)!

Now that @zahidahtza mentioned it, I do think the best comparable couple for Xiao Wuyi / Xie Jiayu in KEY TO THE PHOENIX HEART is Ning Yuanzhou / Ren Ruyi in A JOURNEY TO LOVE!!! Both couples are power mates (enemies to friends to lovers to soulmates) who share ideals and values as equals! 🔥 #cdrama

#cdrama I don't know about you, but I'm definitely going to watch this 2026 xianxia heist animated comedy ALL WISHES COME TRUE (opening in Cineplex theatres in Canada on August 14!) 😍 Here's the trailer:- youtu.be/238buK9Iu_o?...

I've just finished #LoveintheClouds, and I liked it, especially the latter two-thirds and the Ji Bozai character! Just thought the first 10 or so episodes could use a bit tightening up. Also, for Ming Yi to hide her real identity for so long doesn't make sense to me, and drags things out. #cdrama

#cdrama Missing #HouMinghao after #KeytothePhoenixHeart ! I'm on #LoveintheClouds for the 5th attempt just for his sake (couldn't get past ep. 3 in my first 4 attempts)! Glad that things started looking up after ep. 10 and I'm now at ep. 24!

#cdrama For me, Xiao Wuyi in #KeytothePhoenixHeart is surely one of #HouMinghao 's best characters yet! His micro facial expressions and subtle deep glances are exhibits of his superb acting skills. #AiMi 's performance is equally strong as she steps up to the plate in her 1st FL role! Well done!

You know what? The tortuous romance btwn Bai Qian & Ye Hua in #EternalLove did inspire Sai'er's thorny path to love in my duology; and the Wuxian/Wangji brotherly bond in #TheUntamed #CQL did prompt the Binhong/Yinho undying ties in my story! #cdrama

#cdrama Hello cdrama fans! Here's a book review that might urge you to pick up The Heavenly Sword and The Earthly Blaze! "I feel like I was reading a mix of #TheUntamed and #EternalLove that I didn't know I needed! So good!" - Chad Hoblitz @eternalmalicepress www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

#cdrama I have to say #KeytothePhoenixHeart is a wondrous surprise! Superb casting, immersive story with pacing that keeps you on edge, #HMH and #AiMi striking sparks with their stellar performance! 👏👏👏❤❤❤ What's not to love?

I don't know what's the matter with this platform! When I start typing a reply, my typing space is confined to 2 or 3 lines, then I can't see what I'm typing as if it's stuck. So annoying!! 😤😤😤

I'm 3 episodes into #KeytothePhoenixHeart and am liking it a lot! #AiMei's acting is good and #HouMinghao delivers as usual! The story has held my attention!

Ep. 39 of #ASplendidMatch was a tear-jerker 😭 . Now #Winwin (aka Dong Xicheng) is on my list of to-watch actors! His character Ye Xian in this #cdrama is a cold-faced prince who habitually wears a smirk & apathetic mask but can love unselfishly. I'm already missing him and the Jinzhao/Yanyun couple!

Wow! My favorite actor/singer #TanJianci sings the theme song of the classic movie 英雄本色 in perfect Cantonese! And his voice and style is also reminiscent of #LeslieCheung 's!! ❤❤❤ #cdrama #actors #singers www.facebook.com/share/v/1EUU...

#cdrama #ASplendidMatch #Cisha #RenMin Ooh, the long awaited kiss! I'm loving this slow burn romance mixed with court politics! The script and dialogue is well written and the acting impressive! Why aren't there more people discussing this drama? youtu.be/NcPcyDj9maQ?...

I find that #ASplendidMatch has some shades of #TheStoryofMinglan in terms of family structure, only in the former the husband-wife and father-daughter relationships are much more toxic! What do you think?

I'm up to ep 16 of #cdrama #ASplendidMatch and the latest twist has made me cry ugly! #ChiSha is a favorite and this is my first time with #RenMin and she clicks with me! They have great chemistry! Her character's relationship with her father hits me too close to home 😭😭😭 youtu.be/Ji9Uy4kJqKU?...

I finished 2 episodes of #cdrama #ASplendidMatch and was immediately hooked! Picked this up on a friend's recommendation on Threads and for #CiSha 's sake (loved him as the villain in the epic #wuxia movie #BladesoftheGuardians)! Anyone watching this? youtu.be/kHNt9QvZ4TY?...

The #cdrama feed is not getting updated! I hope it won't end up like the #wuxia #xianxia #mythology feed, dead!

Today I'm sharing my favorite #saga #cdramas! These dramas share one common trait, and that is, they are all EPIC narratives! My all-time favorite saga cdramas are:- - The Rise of Phoenixes (2018) - Story of Minglan (2018) - Joy of Life (2019) - Lost You Forever (2023) - Glory (2025)

Truly, #xianxia #cdrama #TheLegendofFuyao is so worth rewatching! I'm around halfway through (it has 65 episodes!!) and it has made me cry, and laugh, and cry again! Not one minute of boredom! The plot is a maze but the layering is superbly done! Both #YangMi & #EthanYuan are superb performers!

Being a #historical #cdrama addict, I'm delighted to share my SIX all-time favorites! Here they are in chronological order:- - Scarlet Heart (2011) - Legend of Mi Yue (2015) - The Advisors' Alliance (2017) - Ming Dynasty (2019) - Legend of Xiao Chuo (2020) - Swords into Plowshares (2026)

While waiting for #TheFirstJasmine to drop 1 episode a day, I've started rewatching one of my all-time favorite #xianxia #TheLegendofFuyao, and immediately the story grabbed me! It just confirmed my theory that older is better 😚 #cdrama #YangMi youtu.be/sitiIkylAG4?...

Here're my FIVE all-time favorite #xianxia #cdramas (all with intricate plots and strong-willed FLs):- - The Untamed (2019)* - Eternal Love (2017) - Novoland Pearl Eclipse (2021) - Legend of Fuyao (2018) - Ashes of Love (2018) * Although this is danmei with two MLs, I consider Wen Qing as a FL.

Gosh! Was it delicious!!!! It's been many years since I last bought and ate a zongzi 粽子 to celebrate Dragon Boat Festival! (Zongzi is glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leaves with mashed mung beans, pork and salted eggyolk as stuffings and steamed. A bit like Mexican tamale). Have you tried it?

各位端午安康!

Ooh must read this. Anything inspired by Grandmaster is my favorite thing ever!
