What #Kdrama or #Cdrama do you watch to be happy after a sad day?

Feeling extremely sad today and I wondered what to watch to cheer myself up. I realise watching episodes 12-14 of #Destined is probably a bad idea as big sad things happen, so I decided what else should watch but the delightful episodes of 1-8 of Love Never Fails? The #cdrama had a lot of problems but one thing I loved was that those episodes were so delightfully funny and cheerful.
Seriously seeing Liu Xueyi playing a teenage girl would make you giggle.

As for KDramas I think the drama that made me laugh was Another Miss Oh - love how delightful it is.

What's your drama that you watch to cheer yourself up?

Luo Zishang -> plots the annihilation of many people
My hormones: OMG I forgive him for everything cos have you seen how he looks???

How to know your man loves you: When he gets whipped for you 🫢

Ep 9 of #Destined was interesting. Gu Jiusi realised he placed his family in jeopardy when he went a tad too far defending Liu Yuru's honour. Commissioner Wang used this misstep to paint the Gu family as bullies who misuse their power, and Gu expertly turns it around by gaining the whole town's sympathy by taking the punishment for assault. Unfortunately....

I am actually excited to watch this! I have to say Bai Jing Ting is quite a natural actor and I'm enjoying his performance, and of course Song Yi is excellent. I've only seen him in Reset, and he was okay there. (Couldn't finish the drama because as a sci-fi fan, Reset's plot was very pedestrian to me.) Love the premise of a spoiled, immature playboy accidentally having to marry a woman who is the perfect wife in every way, except that she hates him.

Currently, I'm at episode 3 and I'm thinking - man, Gu Jiusi is such an immature jerk that needs to be caned, but he has a heart of gold. He is absolutely ignorant about the vulnerable position Liu Yuru is in, a woman who has no status unless she is his wife, so for him to casually talk about divorcing her on their wedding night, and tossing money at her as if it'll solve everything ... man needs to be throttled lol.

Am very interested to see how he matures.

Well, I have just learned that #interviewwiththevampire S1 is on iPlayer. I am running out of excuses not to watch this show. Maybe I’ll do a hard swerve into it once I finish #Destined .
Wholesome couple cdrama to dysfunctional French vampires, what could go wrong
#Destined Also hopefully I’ve done this thread right so you can just read the whole thing to get a spoiler-free emotional journey. 😁
#Destined
- But before they started doing all the stereotypical Good of the Country stuff this show had a really different feel to it, with loads of charm and one of the most convincing relationships I’ve seen in a Cdrama.
- Lead actor Bai Jingting is one of the most charming leads I’ve seen outside of danmei. He almost single-handedly makes the whole show worth it.
- Lead actress Song Yi is a bit disappointing. She gets better in the middle but always has a kind of ingenue vibe.
#Destined Okay, final thoughts!
- This was a delight. Extra delightful if you were a fan of TBOY because so many of the cast crossed over.
- It really feels like the first 3/4 was an amazing season 1, and the last 1/4 was a disappointing season 2. As soon as they got to the Imperial City arc it felt like a completely different show, even with some very dramatic scenes. Once politics became a focus everything felt like a Big Moral Lesson and the characters flattened into good/bad.
