i've watched it twice but that's unheard of for me, i can count on one hand the number of series i've rewatched and most of them were far less than 70 eps long lol

it's also so funny that they were like "PUT YIBO BACK UP ON THE MOVING BLOCKS THE AUDIENCE LOVED THAT" it's true we loved that

the bling jacket with the endless supply of red envelopes and the uptown funk swag of it all is all killing me

VERY relatable except this is like... everything in my kitchen sob

three months from now we learn Xiao Zhan is playing a robot

it's douchebags all the way down
February 17, 2026 at 3:06 AM
we have now bounced back to the outer frame narrative of our inception frame narratives and our douchebag outer narrator is completely rejecting any lessons he should have learned from the inner narrative and is just bullheadedly repeating all the mistakes of all the other douchebags he read about

truly this is a masterful, thorough portrait of a culture of toxic masculinity producing immature men who gradually escalate to full-fledged emotional abuse and domestic violence and it is just wild to me that this novel isn't better known

(except we all know why it isn't 🫠)

this poor woman just perpetually surrounded by men who refuse to take no for an answer and meanwhile she is screaming NO at the top of her lungs at everyone from page one

Anne Bronte just had her protagonist, who openly hates her awful husband now, make the point that he can't afford to separate from her because she manages his whole estate for him without getting paid for it and goddamn

I was underselling how much alcohol abuse and social pressure to drink is a huge theme of this plot. There's an entire subplot revolving in part around a group of dissolute men trying to force their alcoholic friend to relapse!! In 1848!

Yunxi and Bai Lu are also beautiful camp goth divas together in the gorgeous batty delight Till the End of the Moon

ahh we are veterans at this by now! three seasons of waking up at 7am on Saturdays for Street Dance of China, sooo many Weibo and Tencent nights with the tailgating starting at 2am local time, waking up at 6am to watch new eps of Longest Promise or The Double when they drop before work, on and on 😅

it's wild to realize this was written 30+ years before William James was advancing psychology as a serious science
February 16, 2026 at 8:01 PM
ahh and there's the gaslighting. Anne Bronte is so good at depicting what it's like to be manipulated and toyed with by someone you're in love with, and also so good at capturing the thoughtless entitlement of men towards women and the eggshells on which women walk to avoid giving them false ideas
