Any #cdrama fans watched wuxia ‘Heroes’ (2022)? Thoughts?

Viki is streaming it. Noticed it has my crush Liu Yu Ning AND Joseph Zeng in it. Plus Baron Chen as villain.

Director is same as the beautiful Farewell My Princess.

Based on a novel by Woon Swee Oan, the Hong Kong-based Malaysian Chinese poet and writer who also inspired series & film, The Four. The novel is about the nature of heroes.

Looks good but My Drama only gave it 7.9/10!

I laughed out loud at seeing that the top edit on wikipedia was the #kdrama actor best known for playing villains so nasty that an elderly ajuma once hit him on the head with her purse at a restaurant.

Watch The Glory or Queen of Tears on Netflix to see him plot & scheme!

#Kdrama gods, I beg you… please save the brilliant Park Ji-hoon from all these award-winning roles that require him to get thrown about, smacked, punched & abused!

Viki has him as a PTSD crown prince in Love Illusion. Netflix had him as a bullied student in Weak Hero Class 1. A traumatized chaebol in At A Distance Spring Is Green. Even an abused… Joseon matchmaker!

He is a trained traditional arts singer! He wins solo song awards!

Maybe a rural vet?! A florist? A charming barrista?!

Can I just say how happy I was that Kim Seon Ho was spotted on the red carpet of the Baeksang Award show?!

Here’s hoping that this means the Korean public mood has moved to forgive and he might return to #kdrama

Omg - how did I miss Winter Begonia?! #cdrama set in the Republican era about the relationship between a business man and a Peking Opera dan singer as the Japanese occupation begins. But is symbolic of so much more.

Sets, script & music are gorgeous. It is playing on iQiYi Plus and on YouTube. The acting of the MLs is fabulous.

I watched the excellent Chinese-produced Three Body Problem #cdrama this spring and now hear that Netflix will release the Game of Thrones/Brad Pitt produced version in January.

The original famous sci-fi novel series are complex philosophical meditations on time, history and physics.

Glad more of the world will be able to learn about its genius soon… and read the books! #threebodyproblem

OK - is it too early to start whining that S3 of Joy of Life isn’t out yet?!

I am in withdrawal!

Still gonna stand with my Fan Fan flag firmly planted in my #cdrama hill that Joy of Life, Winter Begonia, Long Night in Chang’an and Wind Blows from Yonxi are among the greatest TV series ever produced.

Superb work.

To paraphrase director Bong Joon-ho, a couple of inches of subtitling opens worlds of art!
