I have this one student who’s also into #cdramas, and we often battle on which shows we’ve watched, fav actors, genres etc. So we made a pact for each to watch a show the other liked during the holiday. I recced #GuardiansofTheDafeng, bc it’s an underrated HOOT. Meanwhile, this student has me

Gotta go with #GuardiansOfTheDafeng. #DylanWang was funny & charming. Him and his besties shared one brain cell. His family was hilarious & unhinged. Our princess was dramatic & silly. BUT they all had so much heart and a joy to watch. #cdrama

The votes are against it, but I loved #GuardiansoftheDafeng! 🥰 - It’s truly an ensemble drama where everyone plays their part
Apparently it’s the 5th most watched cdrama of 2025!
I didn’t get into #WhenDestinyBringstheDemon when it aired - it’s one I’ll have to return to 👍

Day 12: Platonic
Considering one’s a cat 🐈 & the other a snake 🐍, these two got on pretty well (from #MoonlitReunion)
& as literally the *whole* cast of #GuardiansoftheDafeng seemed to be best friends, I had to include at least one pairing - these guys were great fun together ☺️

I know what you mean - I was initially trying to think of non-romantic friendships, like the one in #TheFirstFrost (with Zhang Miaoyi’s character); but I couldn’t recall if it was “heartwarming”
I then thought of the brotherly soldier friends in #ThePrisonerofBeauty & #GuardiansoftheDafeng, but
