Day 16: Overall though, my favorite actress I watched this year is #HuYiYao ( #胡亦瑶 ) as #YunShang from the #MiniCdrama #DoubleLife (2024). Her portrayal was capable, strong, serious, yet also soft and loving. I also enjoyed her in #BoundBySin (2025), but prefer DL. #cdrama #EYDC2025 #LightAndDark
Hu Yi Yao ( #胡亦瑶 ) as Yun Shang from the Mini Cdrama Double Life stands looking in front of herself. She wears a serious expression on her face and a black dress with a red layer for the lapels. She is standing in a dark room with a light behind her that is reflecting on the floor. Hu Yi Yao ( #胡亦瑶 ) as Yun Shang from the Mini Cdrama Double Life stands looking forward. She wears a serious expression on her face and a white dress and earrings. This is a light scene with colorful dresses of other guests to a party seen in the background.

Day 16: Impossible to choose: #LiQin (李沁) in #FatedHearts, #WangYinglu (王影璐) in #TwelveLetters were notable performances, & in 2024 dramas I watched this year #SmileHu amused me to no end in #TheLoveDuel & #PyoYeJin (표예진) was delightful in #DreamingOfAFreakingFairytale.
#EYDC2025 #cdrama #kdrama
Li Qin slayed as Fu Yi Xiao in Fated Hearts. Here, she looks afright with her mouth open. Her hand is held backwards and holds a sword which is unseen. She is confused and mixing her memories with reality. Yu Haitang stares up at Tang Yi Xun with her mouth open and tears in her eyes about to fall. She wears a white and dark brown plaid shirt. Her hair hangs in her face, and she looks wild and crazed. They stand on a street corner, and the pavement is wet. Prince Heng sits in a bath and watches Shen Juan Juan, played by Smile Hu, who sitting on the side of the tub and is placing her hand on the side of the bath. There are curtains framing the bath. This is from the mini cdrama The Love Duel. There is a golden glow to the scene. Pyo Ye Jin was delightful in Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale. Here, she sits on a mosaic gray, white, and brown-patterned couch while wearing a black leather jacket, short black skirt, and knee-high boots. Her arms are crossed and she has a serious look on her face and looks powerful.

Day 15: Posters - My favorite for artistry is the one @jamesdramac.bsky.social shared for #TransferGoldHairpin. My favorite for creativity is #TwelveLetters, which offers a unique visual as unique as the plot itself. My favorite for a romance poster is from #GrabYourLove.
#EYDC2025 #cdrama #cdramas
Poster for Transfer Gold Hairpin showing golden thorns and jeweled crown dividing the space between the two women. One is the dark with a golden mask held aloft in her fingers and the other with with crown looks beautifully downward with a small smile. Poster for Twelve Letters showing a young couple sitting on a piece of paper that floats down from a red letter box. Above them, a cat leaps from one sheet of paper to another, which shows a small replica of the red mailbox. On the other side of the replica, a slightly older couple sits on the edge of another sheet of paper. Poster for the mini cdrama Grab Your Love showing a woman and a man hugging. She wears a white blouse with a bow at the top and a tan, long skirt, and he wears a pinstripe shirt and a black vest. There are twinking lights and spectral light traces around them. It looks warm.

Day 13: It's extremely rare that I have one that bores me, but Melo Movie, unfortunately, did. It was too long. While it had a few nuggets of goodness to take away, it was too few. It felt like the secondary couple & ml's brother were more interesting than leads. I like slow stuff, but 🤷‍♀️. #EYDC2025

Day 12: My favorite platonic relationship was from a 2024 one & between Urabe Kanoko & Iwai Souma in #UsotokiRhetoric. They were adorable together. Both quirky & trying to survive in a world where they don't fit in well, they accept each other & are stronger together.

Day 11: Less learning, more a reminder about what empathy entails. In #TheFirstFrost & #TheWhiteOliveTree behavior might seem irrational or extreme, but it's desperate self-preservation. As an outsider, one must be patient & not take the actions of a suffering person personally.

Day 10: Rewatched #TheLoveDuel, #RipeForThePicking, and #SchoolNurseFiles. Often when I recommend something to someone later on, I like to rewatch to see if they are as good as I remember. These are short, so it's easy to rewatch. TLD & RFTP I'd rewatch anytime. 🥰

Yun Shang rests in the arms of Duke Wu Luan, her lover. Her delicate hand rests on his chest. She looks entranced as his lips are so close to hers, about to touch. He wears a black robe open at his chest and she, a black top with a little light-colored embroidery. This is from the mini cdrama Double Life. Shen Juan Juan kisses Prince Chen as beautiful sun rays wash over their faces. Both their eyes are closed and the scene seems lovely both in feeling and visually.

Day 8: Fave 2ndary character: #MuCiLing was so fabulously unhinged! #LiDaiKun seemed to relish his role portraying him as deranged, complete with a convincingly evil laugh—a feat that's hard to do—& transforming him into a victim too, who merely wanted to be free.

It's the 40th anniversary of Tim Curry's biggest day at the box office with the simultaneous release of Clue and Legend. Dec 13, 1985! We have 4 Curry-related books, including signed editions of @johnhatch.bsky.social's account of Clue's production. Link: mzs.press/search?keywo...
The cover of Rocky Horror, a book of photographs from the production of the film, by acclaimed photographer Mick Rock. The cover features a tight close-up of Tim Curry as Dr. Frank N. Furter, in black and gray, with the lips red. The cover of the Rocky Horror Cookbook: So Savory, Sweet, Seductive Recipes from the Cult Musical--an illustration of Tim Curry in cost him is Dr. Frank, and further, with a string of pearls, a lace-trimmed black bodice, black panties with a little grey bow, black mesh garters, and black evening gloves. Frank is smiling at us as he throws the switch on a sinister-looking unit of laboratory equipment with a hose that leads to a metal cauldron of bubbling green fluid. The cover of actor Tim Curry's memoir Vagabond, about his life and his adventures in show business. The cover is a black and white photograph of Curry as a young man sitting on a wooden deck with a stretch of English landscape in the background, very misty and wintry. Curry is wearing a dark windbreaker and black jeans, a paisley shirt, and long scarf that appears to be hand knitted. The wind is blowing his hair. Cover of "What Di You Mean, Murder? Clue and the Making of a Cult Classic," an account of the making of the movie by John Hatch. Red and white text on a black background, with close-up of an ominous looking pipe wrench dominating the lower half of the composition.

Day 7: I accidentally posted my favorite character on the wrong day, so, lucky me, I get to post him again: #SuChangHe from #BloodRiver. A light-hearted yet deadly assassin, he's an unusual front-runner for me, but was so delightful & intriguing that I want to see more. #attitude #cdrama #EYDC2025

Wen Yi Fan's face is reproduced in overlapping repetition. Here expression seems a little downcast yet calm and it looks like she is covered by a blanket or sweater. This is from the cdrama The First Frost. Red and blue light cross each other to form a blurry "X" shape in a room interior. Warm candles are seen in the foreground. This is from the cdrama Fated Hearts. Water-formed dagger or sword tips embed in a tree that is covered with moss. This is from the cdrama Blood River.

Day 2: Favorite Actress Discovered: #LiQin 's portrayal of #FuYixiao in #FatedHearts was fabulous! She was a badass, a beauty, as well as both a gentle & vicious person. She embodied the character so well! Brava! 👏 I'm curious to see more of her #cdrama work. #EYDC2025

🚨 #FatedHearts balanced its leads giving each time to be strong & weak. In a rare yet appreciated move, it shared a man's body can be sensuous & beautiful, soft & lovely as well as it can be desirable for a man to share control of intimacy & to be at the mercy of a woman. #InTheKnees💋 #一笑随歌 #cdrama
Feng Suige presses Fu Yixiao's back against an ornamented red wall and kisses her passionately. He wears a black robe and she wears a white dress. This is from the cdrama Fated Hearts. Fu Yixiao twisted Feng Suige around to back him against the same ornamented red wall with an arm thrust against his chest and holds his neck in her hand with her thumb grazing his jawline. He looks blissfully at her mercy as if under a spell, and she looks at his slightly parted mouth about to kiss him. He wears a black robe and she wears a white dress. There are red curtains and light in the background. Lyrics say, "A stick of incense, a drop of tear, an inch of ash." This is from the cdrama Fated Hearts. Fu Yixiao hand slides under the back of Feng Suige's robe sensuously caressing his back as his hand rests on her neck to lift her head towards his for a kiss. His long, black hair sweeps to the side showing the thrust of his neck. She wears a white top. Lyrics say, "You and I silently recite." This is from the cdrama Fated Hearts.
