End of the Year Drama Challenge Day 31:
Favourite drama of 2024?
The cdrama "Joy Of Life 2".
I watched it through (both s1 and s2) TWICE this year and it was fantastic. The first little storyline was a challenge for me, but once you get to meet the princes, game over.
If you love all the characters in Star Trek, it kinda feels like that.
My initial watch thread ends here:

The #cdrama #JoyOfLife #JoyOfLife2 is unlike anything I expected. 🤯 The layers upon layers of plot and characters. I haven't laughed so hard as I did with this show. I haven't been as convinced of humanity's cruelty as in this show. Or heart. Or capacity to learn, adapt, and change. And the silliness? And even after two seasons, there is still SO MUCH to uncover.

Day 12: A platonic relationship you loved
Fan Xian and his platonic relationships with so many characters in #Cdrama Joy Of Life 2: Emperor, Overwatch Director Chen Ping Ping, poison master Fei Jie, 2nd Prince, subordinate Wang Qi Nian, Black Knight Gao Da, "brother" Fan Si Zhe, "father" Fan Jian.
The two that I loved the most equally, Fan Xian with "Uncle" Wu Shu and with "sister" Fan Ruo Ruo, both characters play critical support roles in the drama. #JoyOfLife2 #JOL2

Day 4
Favorite original song from a 2024 drama
有生之年 - 李健 from Joy of Life 2
Episode 24 is just beautiful. Honestly, #KillMeLoveMe is prob the best drama I have watched this year besides #JoyOfLife2. Probably one of the few dramas that kept me up at night, made me write essays analysing each episode.... Love the performance of the lead actor, Liu Xueyi, which is one of the best I have seen this year.
Available on #Netflix btw
"People always say that right and wrong aren't important. But if people always carry this thought and no one tries to make a change, incidents like the fires in the Three Great Workshops and Shijia Town will never cease"
Duoduo: "I knew you're crazy. But I didn't expect you to be this crazy" 🤣
Deng Ziyue was undercover in the Three Great Workshops! I hope nothing happens to him. I fear for everyone's life in this show 🙃
That thing works with steam 👀
Fan Xian killed one of the managers of the Three Great Workshops and ordered the Black Knights to execute another one.
The Ming mom is very scary.
They are going to face Ye Liuyun 😬
Now I fear for Wang Qinian too
Did Fan Xian manage to make the weapon work?
Ahhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhh
He decided not to use the weapon?????
"In my life, I pursue politics and martial arts. If noth of them lose humanity in the end, it's pointless for me"
I saw that coming. Awesome.
His qi is back 🤪

"Don't tell me I have to wait for years again for the end"

@carm_kuryakin so, I was really confused by Fan Jian's headpiece reaction, too, but I think maybe because he had green jewels on it and green indicates jealousy and so he was inadvertently projecting that he was jealous that his son wasn't really his and was the Emperor's?
I think?
#JoyOfLife2
Fan Xian already knew because of what Xiao En told him before he died but now he has the confirmation.
"Am I his son or a pawn?"
Wan'er: "I want to kill you but not now!!"
Wu Zhu: "When Fan Xian doesn't need me anymore, my life is yours"
I screamed. I held my pillow and screamed.
Fan Xian: "When I return from Jiangnan, I should prostrate and light incense in the ancestral hall"
First Prince: "Think it over. Once you enter the ancestral hall and are registered in their genealogy record, you're part of the Fan family."
Fan Xian: "Talking about this, I've always been part of the Fan family "
I screamed again. HIS FAMILY
Second Prince: "Keep yourself alive. I will wait for you"
Third Prince is going with his big brother...
I mean, his teacher.
I like First Prince.
Madam Fan: "About the ancestral hall... do you really mean it or..."
Fan Xian: "Old Fan, you're unbelievable. I will prostrate to you now"
Fan Jian and Madam Fan: "Don't do that!!"
Fan Jian: "I'm overwhelmed, Young Official Fan. I'm used to your casual behavior. I'm not used to it if you prostrate. Just do it your way"
BIG HUG
Fan Xian: "Since young, my surname has been Fan, and will also be in the future"
So many feels
Wan'er went to say farewell
The squad is bigger now: Shi Changli, Third Prince and Wan Qinian
Officials are sending gifts... And commoners are complaining? 👀
Li Chengze is so silly and so dangerous. I love him. His tushy hurts because he traveled on horseback .
Oh, shit.
Those are refugees.
Nonono. Not needles. Nope. Nope
