Day 4: Drama friendship
When I thought about Dramas that were really all ABOUT friendship, these two came to mind first, and both are easily the highest scoring Dramas that I've listed as having "friendship" as their primary theme
#cDrama #DearEnemy
#kDrama #DivorceAttorneyShin
Friendship is absolutely at the core of both these very different Dramas and what elevated them both.
For her birthday, he:
* came home early from a work trip
* made her an elaborate dinner
and then gave her a puzzle of *his* favorite architecture thing.
And when she didn't like it, he said he though she "wasn't like other women." And then sent her money, instead.
That seems pretty spiteful.
And then unfriends her on WeChat?
Listen: this is due to his own insecurities. He must be worried she only likes him for his money.
This picture is mostly for her friends' reactions. 😂
And then she looks back at her friends, grins, gives a peace sign, then looks back at him all puppy-dog-eyed and repentant.
Knowing this slimeball, he's going to try to use it to get in Qing Cheng's pants again.
THAT'S TOTALLY HER WIFE. SHE IS DEFINITELY A LESBIAN.
Is he wearing a peacock feather on his lapel to signify that he's... showing off for his mate? 🤔
LMAO "She regrets not dumping you sooner." 🤣
"This look is too classy for me to roast anyone." 😆
I predict that Mr Red Flag's ex-wife is gay. That's why they broke up amicably.
DAMN Luo Man cleans up 🔥🔥🔥 I love how she can be slouchy and comfy and then look like absolute fire as a guest at this wedding. 🥵
Oh shit, and Mr Red Flag is there too, but she had to find her own way because he didn't want to take her! 😳
*snort* "how did you two meet," asks a man of his wife, referring to her friend who is also a woman he tried to cheat with. How, indeed.
Day 31: Your favourite drama of 2025. #EYDC2025
#cDrama #kDrama #jDrama #twDrama
This was really hard. For this one question, I've decided to limit myself to Dramas from 2025, and have ended up calling a tie:
For feeling thoroughly RIGHT to me, right to the end
#cDrama #DearEnemy which I wrote about here:

and for making me smile, a lot 😍 😍
#JDrama #aCalmSeaAndBeautifulDaysWithYou
More truly lovely reflective shots in this show. Clear reflections on car mirrors, branch reflections on the windshield, obscuring the faces within, mirror at the night stand, distorted mirror in the hallway. The cinematographer is giving us a buffet of reflections and I want to analyze for symbolism but also enjoying it without knowing.
Kai Xi's husband is a real piece of work, isn't he? 😤
What does Director Jiang want with Qing Cheng? 🤔
#cdrama #DearEnemy
Ha, these two trading off showing off how capable they are at their jobs to each other. 🤭
"Losers blame it on righteousness and that winners are shameless." 😂
Holy, hired as VP? I am very dubious that it isn't a ploy to get access to her husband's pre-IPO stocks...
BOOM and the big question on if they are officially in a relationship. 👀
This entire episode was full on adult flirting.
I am also appreciating all of the mirrors and reflective surfaces in this show...
FSM bless the cdrama culture of incorporating menstruation into plot lines.
Ah ha! Now we know how Red Flag found out where Luo Man was!
Even the realness of checking if you stained the bed! 😩
I love how she is 100% not trying to cater to his interests or comfort AT ALL. 😂 "You want to be with me? You gotta put up with me, in all my realness." GOAT
