March 1: most memorable romance with an older couple (40 & up)
There's been much said for the younger couple in the #cdrama #ToTheWonder , but the mom has her own story to tell that includes romance. (She's furthest right in the image)
With her hair tied back, big clompy boots, and a fierce temper, surviving by herself, caretaking for her own mother all these years can be lonely, even as she thrives. And, during a drunken escape, a man appears...
Etait-ce un film d'art et essai ou un drama que je viens de voir ?
C'était dépaysant dans le vrai sens du terme. On plonge à l'instar de l'héroïne dans un monde dont on n'a pas ni les codes ni le langage, dont on ne comprend qu'à demi mot ou a posteriori les enjeux.
Les paysages etaient magnifiques, certes. Mais, plus beaux encore étaient les personnages, leurs histoires et leurs conflits.
Bref, je le recommanderais sûrement, même à ceux qui ne regardent pas de dramas asiatiques.
9/10
The lovely #cdrama #ToTheWonder is now available on Viki!

It's always fun when my hobbies interact
#Reading Laura Spinney's fascinating book "Proto" this quote made me think of the fine #cDrama #ToTheWonder
"The Altai are beautiful. Prehistoric people would have been as sensitive to natural beauty as we are"
The stunning beauty of the Altai is a star of that show, images from the Drama came to mind while reading this and other references to the Altai in the book 😍 #linguistics #History #bookstodon @bookstodon

Overall winner a 2024 Drama that I watched in 2025 - #ToTheWonder. The impressive Altay region a character in its own right, just stunning
A close second, the 2025 Drama #ThisThrivingLand - one of several #cDrama I watched this year that highlighted just how BIG China is, and that used its picturesque vastness as a key element of their storytelling

Jour 5 : Quelle adaptation en drama as-tu préféré voir ?
#jDrama #cDrama #kDrama #twDrama
Another 2024 Drama I loved this year. #cDrama #ToTheWonder is based on the writer's memoirs, but the whole thing was so incredibly visual I think it would definitely be a case of "the movie's better than the book" 😀
Day 9: Did you watch older dramas in 2025? #EYDC2025
#kDrama #cDrama #jDrama #twDrama
~60% of the Dramas I watched this year were pre-2025, although I didn't realise before preparing this response that half were from 2024. Here's the list so far - standouts highlighted; each of the 4 countries I watched supplied at least one.
