I stalk interesting people on here but I only talk about my perversions. Follow at your own risk.
Look, I’m not mad at the gratuitous shots of hot men clad only in aprons as the FL day dreams about her ideal man.

I’m just saying I’d like this explored in historical settings #cdrama

Why is eye candy in historicals limited to baths 🛁 and the occasional scantily clad male courtesan?

Umm 🤔 in a good way?

For some reason I found those scenes absolutely hysterical
February 3, 2026 at 7:16 PM
I was thinking the exact same thing!

Ha! My mom has recently discovered that she likes these (she’s in her 70s) after avoiding them her whole life.

Anyway she keeps telling me I have to eat them now. I can’t bring myself to try them - they are indeed too perfumy for me!

I’m sure once my palate improves I too will want them then

Is #FirstLove (incidentally my first show with Wang Xin Yue) and his small role as hot cousin in #Amidstasnowstormoflove his only contemporary shows?

It seems so from a quick look at MDL

This was the randomest cameo/supporting actor role. Wang Xing Yue sandwiched this between his work on #storyofkunningpalace - as everyone’s favourite good guy too righteous for the girl, and #thedouble where everyone collectively loses their mind over how hot and evil he is.

I am dying, like dying to read it. The books for #bepassionatelyinlove and #whendestinybringsthedemon were much hornier than the shows and better for it

Ha! The chicken was a surprise hit with me

The chicken got the umbrella scene! It was looking all bedraggled and pathetic drenched by the rain. But still. It’s a chicken! #thelegendofshenli

The way I devoured this show
January 29, 2026 at 6:43 PM
I’ve no idea what this show is, but I am now very invested in the wellbeing of this gorgeous cat

To date you’ve inspired 2/3 of the new tags I think are most useful. Keep them coming!
January 28, 2026 at 5:42 PM
This may not be for everyone but it seems to be catching on. When we all need to know when sucking face is at the highest skill level in a #cdrama

Tongue Alert ⚠️
That's a new warning, I'm here for 😆
#cdrama
Y’all they putting tongues in each others mouths in c dramas! Where are the censorship police?! Also the comments are sending me 🤣 #EmbraceInTheDarkNight #Cdrama #CdramaChat

Wasn’t this the song playing for their kiss in the rain on top of the stairs?

It might not’ve been but my brain has definitely fused the two together

The way the tension had been building between them and then that scene had me 🤯
Bonus: His little sigh just before

Continuing my sex positive verticals watch, today’s #cdrama rightly identifies how critical consent is in forced love tropes. ML hears FL’s thoughts and makes sure to follow her desires while maintaining the fantasy of coercion. Without that clear verbal confirmation directly from FL, it would be SA

Some of the web drama actors definitely deserve opportunities in “real” (?) cdrama but it seems hard to crossover.

I’m not sure whether labour conditions are decent in the chines tv industry but it’s bound to be worse for web dramas right?

Ohhhh, I remember this! They smushed it full of every trope under the sun and then some. I felt like they switched out genres 3 times but hey, I wasn’t bored.

Plus lots and lots of making out (proof in video above)

But for me it’s not even military (but I get your point). Take debt for instance. Socially it’s taken for granted that someone if the family will take it on. On the other end, anyone who strikes it rich is expected to share with the family and community. You wouldn’t even need to ask
January 21, 2026 at 4:30 PM
I’d push back on the honour of the family being in Islam - it’s actually counter to Islamic law and practice. This comes patriarchy and in South Asia for instance they pretend it’s religion not patriarchy that is the driving force (it makes it easier to shut down dissent if you can say God says so)

That side eye!
January 21, 2026 at 4:25 PM
So I’m not sure if you meant in a purely legalistic sense, because it’s also about religious integration with culture (for instance Islam doesn’t have collective punishment as principle). But socially yes - benefits and costs aren’t solely borne by individuals.
