The cutest boyband ever! If only they weren't trying so hard to kill each other 😆
PS: Found this on Twitter. Couldn't get this out of my mind cos they look so cute in this clip! I am taking my time with #JoyOfLife2. Only at episode 2 and this is because I rewatched the episodes twice haha. JOL has such intricately written plots you really need to pay attention!
Somebody shared the #JoyOfLife novel, translated into English (her pet project) in epub.
I was bracing myself to read it on the web. I tend to compile the reads into an epub for my own personal consumption as I don't really enjoy reading things on the web. Fansubbers don't like people scrapping their stuff and resharing (for obvious reasons) but as this is from the translator herself, I think it's safe to share.
@remoquete haha! I didn't expect that you'd be interested in my fluffy dramas, but do enjoy!
Btw am enjoying your posts on tech docs as always. Was wondering if I can drop you a message about technical videos and tools used. Currently we are using Camtasia but it doesn't seem enough 😅 Do you do any videos at work?
Damn it, I can't move on from #TheLegendOfShenLi . The only drama that did that to me was Mysterious Lotus Casebook. Took me weeks to get over that one.
It's a little puzzling cos Shen Li had a lot of flaws that I disliked, but the positives overpowered it. I loved Lin Geng Xin's performance (oddly was warned that he's a bad actor) and loved his character's Xing Zhi's arc so, so much. I resonate with his struggle with loneliness and desire for a simple life with loved ones.
The blessings of being swept away by a drama after nearly quitting it, and now that you've finished it, realise that there isn't any other xianxia with such a mature main couple with a level-headed approach to love and heavenly responsibilities. Am looking at future xianxia dramas with much trepidation. I doubt they'd have a xianxia like this again for a long, long time.
I nearly dropped this drama, was told that it is really worth it sticking it out, and for the first time, I'm really glad I listened. It's one of the best xianxias I've watched in a long while.
The #Netflix drama's depiction of China is, well, problematic. How did the people of China react to it? In this issue I highlight what Chinese viewers think about the 3 Body Problem.
“我好生的苦.”* Some words just stick with you and this one did because the character was so heartbroken when he said it. So that's how you pick up vocabulary and sayings in Mandarin, when you see people suffering so much it sears into your brain. 😆
Episode 31 is the most heartbreaking yet the most impactful episode of Wonderland of Love.
Translation - "I am suffering greatly"
PS: Turns out the subtitles is 我好生难过 but the actor is saying something else! 😆
