Could you start tagging to posts with the cdramas tag to that you got the pics from? I cannot recognize all of the series. 🥺

Unfortunately I get most of the photos I use from Pinterest, where it’s very rare for ppl to write dramas names for some reason. And personally I can only recognize few dramas like Word of Honor 😅

But I will try my best to look up the names of every drama I post and put their tags from now on. 🙏

🪴 Siheyuan | 四合院 🪴

Is a historical type of courtyard residence that is commonly found across China. Designs differ in every region. For example, in the northwest where dust storms are strong, the walls tend to be higher. In the South the houses are built with multiple stories. In the northeast the weather is cold so courtyards are broad and large to increase the exposure to sunlight, and there are more open rooms inside the walls.
