Just started watching The Spirealm.

I'm on episode 9, it's giving me actual literal nightmares, and someone needs to come to my house to open the closet door for me.

10/10, totally obsessed, love it.

This drama knows which side its chest bread is buttered on :P

The first ep was mad fun and is totally web novel vibe (PM's unloved illegitimate daughter is made to marry the supposedly dead general prince instead of the legitimate daughter, and then she's supposed to be killed to accompany him in the other world. Only oops, the general prince ain't dead after all. Suck it, evil family (PM is a traitor to boot) and Dylan Kuo is still hot and got it.

Honestly, both mains are genuinely likeable and this is so so so fun.

This is my favorite set up!!!

#groom won't even notice #i love how dramas oscillate between #marriage is the most important thing that will happen to you #and “I'll just marry whoever is put in front of me”

This is SUCH a bizarre drama poster, I almost like it.

It’s like a cat got into a filter setting.

ETA: this one is even weirder because it brings the size thing into focus. Are they gonna start playing “I am crushing your head I am crushing your head” perspective game?

Is it a Gulliver in the land of the Lilliputians with Bai Lu as a gender bent Gulliver adaptation? Or is Joseph visiting Brobdingnag?

Lady Revenger Returns from the Fire

- Wei Zheming who was Lord Seventh in Word of Honor

- Wu Chongxuan who was the 2nd ML (but first in my heart) in Decreed by Fate

- only 24 episodes

- they did my boy so dirty with that wig. Hopefully it's just bad a Photoshop job in the promo materials.

- story appears to be the standard "familial revenge via becoming a lady assassin then falling in love with some random chad it turns out you were acquainted with in childhood" sort of deal

- starts April 25th

This is the trailer for the Cao Dun drama. You can see why I said it's eye popping.

Found trailer for Love of the Divine Tree with english subs!

So I finally got time to watch the trailer for A Moment But Forever, it gives me my fave trope, FL protecting the beautiful man everyone wants dead.

Poor ML is so puzzled. Talk to Tantai Jin, boo!

FL is soooo hero-coded - those are her thoughts.

Best part is apparently her initial mission was to off him? But who can blame her for seeing LXY and going "no freaking way!!"

I can't wait!

Go, FL, fight the world for your man!

It's so funny to see the superior actors relegated to 2nd couple status. I didn't even recognize Lu Yuxiao- she was the alternate assassin in My Journey to You.

The Shen family is speciallllll...

Why don't you confess to what we did so we can get off scot-free since you are the least important? With a father and grandfather like this, you are best off being an orphan.

(They don't even know that none of it matters, emperor just wants them gone.)

I hope they all die painfully.

PS I don't know who that actor is but (a) he's really good, and actually much better than poor hamster ML and (b) he's actually the real SML instead of poor Caesar Wu who we've barely seen. I like him and Lu Yuxiao's ship better than the main one tbh.

Heroine's common sense is pretty delightful.

Also this? Yikessssss, Yanxi, yikes!!!!

Someone import a therapist or perhaps a self-help book for this dude about not doing what your abusive father figure wants even if you don't want it so as to try to please them. ENMESHED IN THE WORST WAY OMG.

Honestly, I love her.

Aaaand she dumps him. Yeah, it's supposed to be so emperor won't have a lever against him to make him do crazier and crazier things to prove empy is stll n1 for Yanxi but I'd also like to think it's self-preservation on her part - nothing good would come of being enmeshed with that psycho an in-law!!!

A delightful paradox - empy punished the Shens extra because Yanxi pleaded for them so if Yanxi is unattached and heartless he actually doesn't have to do as much heinous stuff. And once Yanxi mentions to the emperor he and FL broke up, emperor is all "awwww, that's too bad, oh you can let Shens go now." It's beginning to occur to me that he didn't kill Yanxi's dad for treason per se, but because he wants to be the only sky for his nephew and he's gonna fuck him up until he gets there and stays there. That is fascinating. Honestly, there are bones of a truly interesting, dark and dysfunctional story here, buried by a surface, inconsistent script and lacking acting.

fellas is it gay to pass out on top of your boybestie and half hugging him after you both got tasered and locked in a morgue together

fellas is it gay to rip off your shirt to use it as a paper bag to try and calm your boybestie down from a panic attack
