🚨 I 🖤ed this #cdrama, which features a love story between a strong woman & her biz competitor thrust into a script together. The leads moved from comedic to serious scenes well. This meta story was amusing & enjoyable. Hope some of you will give this gem a try. #cdramas #minidrama #TheLoveDuel #过招

Yep!!! I actually love, love both their characters too, and that bodyguard has great charisma!

Kimberly Hahn @firesky1118.bsky.social · 13h

Sure, yeah, I love when they go into what they do. And this one pokes a lot of fun at that trope, so I think people who like that trope will appreciate it from that standpoint as well.

The beginning is the fastest part if I remember correctly. The set-up.

Kimberly Hahn @firesky1118.bsky.social · 13h

Oh, and his bodyguard's expressions while the main couple interact are hilarious as well. 😂

Right?! Smile Hu does a great job. And he's kinda like what is going on? LOL

You're welcome. It's really short, so just delightful. I like that it has a fun plot and is satisfying, but quick. They did a good job with it I think. I also like the secondary couple.

Kimberly Hahn @firesky1118.bsky.social · 13h

Yeah, it's so satisfying. Like 10-minute episodes & only 24 of them. I watch a bunch in one block on youtube, so it's like 3 episodes per "episode."
They really ham it up in this one too, but it makes sense with the plot, and I like it. I don't often enjoy that kind of comedy, but this 1 is fun.

Btw: If you have the time to request it on Viki, that might help them gauge interest as well and hopefully get it in your region too. The more who request it, the better.

Enjoy! It's very light and fun. I really like it for a comfort watch. She's spunky, and he's a dream. Really cute and some nicely done comedic and steamy scenes.

It's very short. Oh, I see, I pay for no ads. There are several links you can try. You can also watch one with all the episodes smushed together. I haven't checked it for quality yet myself though.

You could see if you could get live English or German subs on this one:

That ability to ignore the damage to herself her passion creates seems ill advised in relation to the society in which she lives, but it is necessary for her to be able to practice medicine.

Kimberly Hahn @firesky1118.bsky.social · 8d

It takes place over the span of many years: she starts out very young, inspired to be a doctor, but is rash & immature. She educates herself, keeps that dedication to helping others at her core. It drives her decisions, sometimes throwing her in the path of danger, but breaks barriers too.

Day 2 Rewind: I never posted a doctor before, but I am enjoying Tan Yunxian from #TheImperialDoctress. She is so passionate about being a doctor that it comes first in her life, even at the expense of love & in the face of criticism. She grows as the years pass. #女医·明妃传 #cdrama #DramaJobChallenge

Tan says to the Emperor, "I won't compromise for anything." She stands in her room, while he sits at the table. There are pink curtains framing the room and a desk can be seen behind the table. She wears pink and he wears blue robes.

Would this one fit our cat person criteria or is it more like 1 little cute scene? Or do they exaggerated the cat aspect with the animation, mannerisms, and interactions?

Hmm, it's not so easy to inspire people. Being able to do that for those in the room is perhaps a greater success than you are giving yourself credit for, I think... Kudos to you!
