If you guys thought the previous make-out scene was the most risque thing you’ve seen in a cdrama, you ain’t seen nothing yet!
She tells him she doesn’t mind he’s impotent (she assumes this since he hasn’t touched her) and he says he will prove to her what he is capable of and then they fuck in a parked car on a public street even though he has a giant and empty house mere minutes away.
And the car is shown as literally shaking!
And the finishing touch. I about died!
Hi there, Chinese Rose and Jack!
@purplehanfu I can’t believe you haven’t checked out this baby!

Self Indulgent Birthday Post: 2023
notes: Spoilers!, probably. Yay, it's my birthday again! Enjoy some of my finest unfinished work!
Oh? You have both my interest and attention!
Booooo.... (this disappointment brought to you by The Young Brewmaster’s Adventure, which happens to be the prequel to Blood of Youth)
Recap Recycle Bin
So many dramas and never enough time to write a full review. Read on!
Dominator of Martial Gods
tl:dr for this drama
Each episode is 35 minutes long, feels like 3,500 minutes, and delivers maybe 10 minutes worth of story. Impressive!
We waste a great deal of time in the first few episodes watching Qin Chen and the bootlicking alchemist refine a needle that will allow our hero to activate his bloodline. Intriguing, because you often hear dramas refer to treasures being refined into weapons, but you never see the process. There's a reason for this- it does not make for compelling viewing. But that does not stop us from standing around arguing about the specs and adding things to the oven. This process was more fun when Chu Wanning just takes you up to the lake. On a technical note, I am enamored of the way the ever present green screened background makes no attempt to be in scale with the human actors.
My Deepest Dream
Ooh, a plot with a time loop, evil birds, superpowers, getting sucked into the Marianas Trench when you just wanted to go on a scuba diving excursion and JIN HAN!!! But, as always, there's a glitch in the matrix.
Our heroine realizes she has lost a year of her life and no one has noticed. No one except the astrophysics PhD candidate turned car mechanic Wu Yu (JIN HAN!!!). Wu Yu divulges that he can read a phone screen at 10 kilometers. But mostly he uses his special eyes to keep an elaborate dossier on the comings and goings of the FL, who lives across the street from the garage he works at. Is that creepy or romantic?
don’t be silly, if it were a Marvel movie we’d be having an interminable CGI sky battle
Till the End of the Moon
Meet Tantai Jin. As you may have noticed from his costume design, he's totally evil.
He's a goal-oriented CEO who's turned the Devil Sect into a high reliability organization that generates impactful customer experiences (annihilation). I bet he's evil enough to use six sigma. But where Tantai Jin truly shines is personal branding. You may not be buying what he's selling, but product recognition is through the roof.
Tantai Jin seen here working out of his travel office: a flaming, flying boudoir with melting skull detail. This is why CEOs should never make more than 10x what the average worker does.
Circle of Love
I can see why the Republican period was relatively short. Everybody setting fire to each other's estates, staying out late ballroom dancing, getting uniforms tailored, making sure there are enough manacles to chain the female lead to a bed... it doesn't really leave a lot of time for governance.
We start out, as we generally do, with a clean sweep of the FL's family, in this case via a big ol' raging house fire. Where is everyone? Or even anyone? Even Maid's Revenge scraped up some extras to be dead family members.
My Kung Fu Girlfriend
Slow your roll, it ain't GL.
You know what they say- it's not whether you win or lose the MMORPG, it's how you min max all your stats and then act like an ass in chat about it.
Meet Huang Xiao Yu. She clearly did not pay to win because she is the low XP real life martial sister of a kung fu champion. In this drama, she'll level up in love and life with the help of an OP MMO NPC who escapes her game and shows up uninvited in the real world.
The Antarctic Octopus
Not to be confused with the 2020 film Big Octopus. I guess that's the great thing about having an audience of over a billion people- even the most niche interest has plenty of content.
This is how you dress when you visit your Uncle Pete in Antarctica.
In this movie: monsters, explosions, a supercharged ice jalopy and a dedicated ignorance of the laws of physics usually only seen in a Fast and Furious film. But credit where it's due: The Antarctic Octopus delivers. Only 12 seconds in and we get our first tentacle!
available free on youtube although how bravely they were fighting is up for debate
Bonus Content: Superlatives
In the Day We Flipped
My post of the year!
Getting over 500 likes on a review? Unexpected.
Forgetting to add a link back to my other recaps? Priceless.
Bloody Romance
still my favorite drama
when your grandma’s a zombie and she was left in a cave to guard a tiny box with one (1) restorative pill in it and she’s suspended by her hair but her hair is also like tentacles that can kill people and she thinks you’re your mom but she still loves you. 💚💚💚 But then she starts screaming and tries to strangle you with her hair.
Heroes
2nd favorite drama
you know something’s good when you have a file called ‘sappy su mengzhen yang wuxie edits.txt’
go get your man, Wuxie!
pinboard full of recaps!

Dark!Aegon loves seeing his wife pregnant, as he sits down on the sofa with their siblings drinking wine, the reader would walk in laying her head down on his lap, moaning about the pain. He would stroke his wife’s belly, kissing her forehead as they go back talking to their siblings
!!!!!!!
She blames Aegon for this as well

Jina’s dramas awards 2023
It’s here! I feel like I say this every time, but truly, this year, I had less time to devote to dramas. Also, there were few dramas that held my full attention from beginning to end, so this year's list will be pretty short! (Check out my favs from 2020 , 2021, and from 2022.)
As usual, these are mostly Chinese historical/period romance dramas. I do have a category for modern dramas but I didn't watch any this year, so I'll be taking it off for this year. :)
Best Overall Drama
Lost You Forever (Season 1): A brilliant first episode played by talented kid actors who just drew you to this solemn, aching world of xiao yao and others. Technically, the drama isn't over, but my goodness, the characters are so good. The actors are chef's kiss.
Most Delightful/Fun Drama
The Starry Love: Knowing xianxia and wuxia genres, I expected this drama to have more angst, but I was laughing more than I was crying. A strong ensemble cast too that made everything more fun. I love this drama so much.
Most Impactful Drama
Lost You Forever: I still mull over certain scenes, cry over the characters' back stories and motivations and what gives them grief. I am still patiently waiting for season 2.
Drama with the Best Soundtrack
Circle of Love: Bangers after bangers. I still play it after all these months. The drama is such a wild intense ride, it was super entertaining.
Best Costume/Design/Set Drama
My Journey to You: Everything felt so elevated and elegant and sharp and mysterious and dangerous. Love it.
Best Short Drama
Butterflied Lover: This director never misses. Adore the two couples, even though the plot slowed down a little bit about 2/3 of the way. Beautifully shot, interesting storyline, happy ending. Nothing else I could ask for from a short drama.
Most Unexpected Drama (aka the Dark Horse) / Drama(s) I'm Enjoying Right Now But Have Not Finished
Mysterious Lotus Casebook, A Journey to Love, and The Last Immortal. For all three, I was surprised I enjoyed them so much. For MLC and AJTL, I know there are some major characters deaths, so I have yet the heart to finish it but I know that I've enjoyed a huge portion of it and I know their endings will not ruin that.
The Last Immortal is still airing and could have a disastrous end since they have to cut a lot to fit the 40-ep max limit, but I am surprised that I really like the characters. Unlike their prequel An Ancient Love Poetry where I did not care for the male lead's God self, for this drama, I care much about gu jin/yuan qi and a yin. I hope this drama ends on a good note.
------------------------------------------------
That’s all for me! Did we share any favs? Which drama would you in what category? Feel free to let me know. :) Thanks, all! Here's to new and beloved dramas in 2024!

He makes out with her to humiliate her (but also because he waaaaants her) and then she grabs him back because she sees his psycho fiancee come in and views it as a way to be kicked out.
If I had a dime for every time he grabs her face, I’d have enough money to buy shirts for the lead of Maid’s Revenge.
The intercut of fiancee twirling as she orchestrates the FL’s rape is...something. I was wondering why she wanted a dude she saw stuff a servant’s face with food like abuser supreme he is, but clearly it’s because game recognizes game and she wants to live in psycho bliss with her soulmate in insanity.
Ooops, somehow it ends up being ML instead.
This drama is, to put it mildly, insane. I hate pretty much everyone in it except the heroine who I don’t even like, just want to succeed in her murder plot. But it’s totally irresistible to watch.

i have watched 20 mins of circle of love
the second female lead has already slapped someone 4 times. this is a ratio of approximately one slap per every 6 minutes thus far, which i think is somehow more than her actual screentime???
the male lead has given the female lead a concussion, amnesia as a result of the concussion, apparently killed her whole family using the pretense of marriage in a segment that was given the narrative gravitas of 1min 45 seconds, force fed the female lead, chained her to the bed, made her wear fucking manacles to serve him drinks? what the everloving fuck is happening?
the female lead is like 90% adrenaline and maybe a generous .5% thought. im kind of for this tbh let the ladies be stupid action shounen protagonists for once
i havent met the second male lead yet but i see from the credits he has glasses and a military uniform so i already 100% know who this guy is and what he’s about
“i want to gouge out your eyes” sir, ye hua called & he wants his pillow talk back
sometimes you get really addicted to shows and sometimes shows just kind of hold you hostage beyond sense, decorum, or taste. this one’s already proving itself to be the latter
here we go, ep 3!
