Anne: Hope everybody within the US had a very good Thanksgiving break! Goodness… the place did on a regular basis go? A minimum of on my finish, all of it ended up in my work. And…my little passion of constructing these miniature “homes”.
This is my newest giant venture. I really accomplished one other one which I did not take an image but. This latter one is a bday/Christmas current for my mother-in-law. So…sure, I have been spending a whole lot of time at work and on this foolish and generally very irritating passion of mine.
Between the final time I posted and now, a ton of stuff got here out. Looks like everyone seems to be attempting to get to air earlier than the tip of the yr. The issue is there hasn’t been one other present that has caught my curiosity… so…whereas I have been constructing my little miniature fantasy empire, the factor operating within the background are the YouTube quick dramas.
Let run by a number of the exhibits that aired… and my first impression of them.
The Land of Warriors
Of all of the season 2 that I used to be anticipating, I do not assume this was anyplace close to the highest of my checklist. In case anybody is , that is the sequel to Doulou Continent, which had Xiao Zhan because the lead in 2021. Simply from a fast look, they’ve stored not one of the authentic forged for the principle 7 leads, however in truth, I doubt it could matter. I barely bear in mind the story line from the prequel. And if it weren’t for Xiao Zhan within the first one, I in all probability will not have began.
I did take a short take a look at this one… I hate to say it… it appears to be like like live-action anime. Not likely my type. So… this is perhaps a tough move for me. (Fangs of Fortune had higher visuals. Sure, I do know the plots are usually not the identical, however it’s nonetheless fantasy…)
Let me know if anybody else took a peek at this, and whether or not you assume it’s value a watch or not.
Fairly Boy
The title has no “s”…should you put a “s” in boys…you’re going to get to a totally completely different drama. That is billed as a comedy starring Darren Chen, who has simply sufficient of a slender body and face form to appear like a satisfactory feminine.
The story is about Qing Cai, who’s a “manly” man who offers with any hooligans that dare to attempt to mess together with his city. In the future, his adoptive father disappears, and as a way to work out the place and what occurred, he determined to comply with the “ladies” who invaded his home. And the path led him to a “sect” that solely recruits ladies as disciples. So…as a way to infiltrate, he determined to disguise himself as a lady to enter this sect.
From the primary peek, it is satisfactory. I is perhaps FFing this one because it’s practically accomplished.
Brocade Odyssey
This has the identical taste a number of the feminine centric progress story. Ji Ying Ying’s father was framed after which killed. Nonetheless, I am an enormous fan of the ML and the 2nd ML, Zheng Ye Cheng and Jing Chao. The drama plot is pretty bland. First impression is simply so so. I do just like the tone and tempo of this drama, particularly the siblings. Let’s examine how this develops.
And that is about as a lot as I might get by of the brand new dramas which have aired. I am wanting by the exhibits that I favored throughout 2024, and I am arising with a really restricted checklist. I am studying a few of my earlier posts and attempting to recollect what I favored in regards to the dramas that I’ve watched. My reminiscence is dangerous, and likewise the dramas did not have an excessive amount of that stood out for me to recollect.
I actually, actually just like the plot of The Double, and clearly the styling of Duke Su. I just like the try of the crime fixing and thriller of In Blossom. I favored the slight function reversal of Combating for Love (besides the ML turned out to be an fool of the very best order), however Oh My Normal nonetheless stays among the best story telling with function reversal to at the present time. Blossoms in Adversity had a number of the finest aspect character plots. And I spotted that the one of many solely Korean dramas that I’ve managed to complete this yr was Love Subsequent Door, which I favored, however for the over-the-top household feuds.
Wow…and that is about it for me.
I will attempt to get an extended publish within the subsequent week or so. Barring any surprises…2024 drama cycle is a little bit of a let down (which is saying lots in comparison with final yr…)
Hope everybody have an excellent remainder of the week!
