I'd like to take the opportunity of the end of the challenge to thank the Asian drama community on the Fediverse. I'm happy to be able to connect with you and hear your thoughts about dramas. It's a really friendly little group from all over.
I tried my best to participate in the challenge in English, and I apologize if I butchered the english language a bit while trying.
May the new year be a good drama year for us all.

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:

Day 30: Was 2025 a good drama year for you? #EYDC2025
#cDrama #kDrama #jDrama #twDrama

The numbers don't lie.
2025 was emphatically NOT a good Drama year for me:

It was a GREAT Drama year for me. The most remarkable element? The rise of the Middle Kingdom - reaching previously untouched completion ratios and a staggering average completed score

Day 29: A 2026 drama you're excited for. #EYDC2025

#cDrama #kDrama #jDrama #twDrama

There's only one 2026 Drama I know about for sure that I'm excited to see, and it's a #jDrama - and a second season!😱

Really hoping that lightning does strike twice and we get a second serving of sweetness and GREAT food from these two

My two main hobbies are r-eading and East Asian Dramas. so I follow all the major relevant communities here at Masto. I gotta say the #cDrama #kDrama #jDrama #twDrama crew is much more my kapachai

So MANY toots about my other hobby are (not-so) humblebrags - "I read THIS MANY" "Since I was 3 I've read b-ooks no one else has ever heard of" "My favourite Proust is the Mongolian blank verse translation" "only paper b-ooks are REAL b-ooks". THANK YOU Drama peeps for NOT being those people😍 😘

Day 28: An industry change you want to happen. #EYDC2025

#cDrama #kDrama #jDrama #twDrama

Not one, but two, and they are both relevant to all the tagged Drama countries:

1. Humane, civilised working conditions for the crews - INCLUDING ACTUALLY PAYING THEM ( especially looking at YOU, #kDrama )

2. Investing in skilled human translators for subtitling, resisting the allure of AI slop.

Day 27: A drama you want more people to watch. #EYDC2025

#cDrama #kDrama #jDrama #twDrama

It came down to a choice of two #cDramas - in the end, I went with the shorter and more of them, and the one that ended on a positive, upbeat note.

I don't normally do self-promotion, but I explained at length with #DearEnemy is so special to me elsewhere, so rather than try to condense that ramble, I offer it:
