3 months on thought it would be fun to see how my top favourite watches for 2025 might have changed:

#cdrama
- Moonlight Mystique
- Les Belles
- Coroner's Diary
- The Rise of Ning
Veil of Shadows for the beginning of 2026, a good start to the year! Looking forward to this one. #cdrama

Made it to episode 20 of 'Lost Track of Time' and am ditching it right now. Wanted to keep going, but the narrative just took another turn that frustrated me, so I googled if it had a HEA. Didn't give me the answer I wanted. Don't love it enough to suffer, lol. Hate dropping something this far in.

Day 11: A drama that taught you something new

The Best Thing. It was a very interesting window into traditional Chinese medicine.

Didn't expect former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to get name dropped in a #kdrama, even I forgot he had been PM... we've had so many these last few years. 😅 On episode 1 of Pro Bono, unsure about it at the moment but will keep going!

Finished 'Why is he still single?'. It wasn't the drama i expected, but so much more. Enjoyed watching! Very entertaining and would recommend. #cdrama

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: No Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney, Animated or Pixar.

@tinacmml.bsky.social in case you were waiting on the edge of your seat, Alpha Drive One's album is avaliable for preorder now! 😄 I'm not keen on their first song.... but i still can't help but enjoy following my two favourites, lol.

I am loving Dao the dog from 'Why is he still single?'. The interactions with the ML, hilarious and cute!

The Rise of Ning, Si Jin, Brocade Odyssey and then Blossoms in Adversity.... this was the best run of #cdrama watching I've had! Thank you followers for inspiring my watchlist and making sure I didn't miss these gems.
December 7, 2025 at 1:53 PM
Looks like 'Vendetta of An' will also be on Netflix. #cdrama
December 7, 2025 at 1:42 PM
Finished watching Blossoms in Adversity, and loved every minute of it! I watched before work, on breaks, after work and halted other watches. Was completely drawn into this world. Loved the main leads and the FL's family. Heartbreaking and fun moments. The ML looked great in fight scenes. #cdrama

Day 6: A drama you dropped in 2025?

I dropped so many this year! The #cdrama releases i had been eagerly awaiting mostly turned out to be greatly disappointing.

No surprise to find Fox Spirit Matchmaker 3 was one I dropped. Lasted longer than with the first two but alas... no.

Day 4: Favorite Original Song from a 2025 Drama

Started the year posting about the Moonlight Mystique soundtrack, so seems fitting to end with it too! One of my favourites of the year, and this song is epic:

I can't pick just one! But have tried to narrow it down... 😅

Keng Harit Buayoi - Loved him in Khemjira. #ThaiDrama

I've been enjoying this drama so far!
This #cdrama is coming to Viki! Not seen any reviews for it yet.
December 2, 2025 at 2:42 PM
@tinacmml.bsky.social I am half way through episode 1 of Blossoms In Adversity and already enjoying it far more than the other drama I had tried yesterday. Thank you for giving me the push to try this drama sooner!

Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

Day 1: Which country's dramas have you watched the most of in 2025?

Did a quick count and was surprised. At the start of 2025 kdrama was in the lead, midway had a big spate of Thai and jdrama watching, and end of year the cdrama tally picked up finally!

#kdrama = 22
#cdrama = 21

I have mostly been living here, in Yong An Dream! Another 2024 #cdrama that's turned out to be a gem. An unexpected joy to watch, and a fun troop of characters to get to know. I knew the ML, Jeremy Tsui, from Royal Rumours which was why I gave it a look. Highly recommend!
