liztai, (edited ) I think the reason why I sometimes have difficulties understanding #cdrama #Mandarin is because Malaysian Mandarin has a different accent and the words are also different.
Realised this after watching a Malaysian Chinese show and realise I understood it far easier than China Mandarin 😂 I still remember my Shanghainese teacher telling me, Malaysian Mandarin is "not right" 😂
Ps: I definitely have all these habits 😂
