I haven't been on so long it's a surprise people still like and re-blog my stuff, even my old, old stuff. Thanks guys. :)
Not sure if I will finish my riffing of My Starry Love. Who knows what 2024 will bring.

I'm making a list of Republic of China (early 1900s) dramas. It will include long and mini dramas. it will also include dramas that have not been translated (to my knowledge).
Here is a very small sample of my favorites:
My number 1: Cruel Romance
Tumblr media
Gosh darn, I love this drama.
She's an innocent country girl who travels to Shanghai for the vengeance of her family. She runs into him, a dangerous man, who immediately falls for her and protects her in the dangerous world of gangs, drugs, and rich eat the poor. It is translated.
My number 2: 新婚夜,我被少帅哄一整晚 "On the Wedding Night, I was Coaxed by the Marshal All Night."
Tumblr media
It's got a clever girl, a smitten Marshal, and an interesting plot. She time travels back to the Republic era and pretends to be a stupid woman married to a handsome marshal. She ends up falling for him and stops pretending to be a genius doctor. Warning: Not officially translated!
I love the sweetness of dangerous men (mostly in uniform) protecting and doting on their wives. It's kinda my thing now.

My obsession of mini-dramas has grown. I've watched nothing else for weeks, oh and My Everlasting Bride. I also like Republic of China dramas too. It's really good.

He asked permission?!
*long hard gasp*
It was barely audible, but he asked!
I'm so used to the man-handling, the sweeping up into his arms, the forced kissing and the pinning against the walls that when HE. ASKED. PERMISSION?!...
*hand to chest in shock*
Sir! You do...have permission.
Now if you excuse me, I need to breathe into a paper bag because I might be hyperventilating.
And yeah, that was hot.

"King the Land" has the good leads AND the tropes AND the chemistry AND the good writing AND the good soundtrack AND the wink-wink, nod-nod to other good shows AND...
You know what? It'd be faster to tell what things this show doesn't have.
But this show!
I needed this. I really needed something sweet to hurt my teeth. This is just the kdrama candy for me.

King the Land was not the drama I wanted, but it was the drama I needed. It has strong traces of A Business Proposal, one of the funniest kdrama rom-coms I've ever seen, and What's Wrong with Secretary Kimg, another funny office drama.
It has ALL THE TROPES. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
Male lead with trauma related to his mother and a narcissistic personality? Check Female lead determined to survive at work, achieve her goals and have a happy life? Check Evil family member determined to bring down the male lead through any means necessary including psychological torture? Check Goofy best friend/ secretary? Check Male lead falls first, falls hard, falls forever for the female lead? Check, check and check
I've binged the first 5 episodes. I would watch more but that's all that's on Netflix right now.

"Destined" continues to be THE drama everyone should be watching. Each episode gets better and better than the last. I LOVE a character growth drama especially when there's a power couple at the center of it. Gu Jiasi and Liu Yuru are so cute. She's got him wrapped around her finger (he gets so upset when she cries) and she trusts him even no one else does. They grow closer with each experience and I'm waiting for the day when they both admit their feelings for one another.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look at them! They both care about each other so much. He WANTS to be a better man for her and she's so moved by his promises she cries.
He still has moments of childishness but he's learning to overcome them. She appreciates him just thinking of taking care of her unlike her trash father.
Love them so much.

"Destined" is SOOOO good! Song Yi and Bai Jingting's chemistry is off the charts and they've had only a little screen time together. The story is going in places I don't expect. The obsession is real!

Always the rebel, Yang Lan fights the system at every turn. And Rocky is more than eager to do it with her. Feng Ling, however, is a rule follower, an adorable sheep.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And even though they've spent a short time together Rocky has Yang Lan mostly figured out. I love how quickly they get used to each other and how well they play off each other. That's true chemistry.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And all Rocky has is fruit to offer! Haha. He's poor, weak and almost friendless. He has almost nothing to offer Yang Lan.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And while these two bicker over nothing but fruit (which, please, we all know they're really flirting now) poor Feng Ling. She has such a crush on Rocky and she has nothing to offer him. She can just watch Yang Lan and Rocky flirt over fruit.

Rocky finds out that Yang Lan is the one who saved him from getting killed by bullies by setting fire to the book depository. He's shocked because their last conversation ended with him basically telling her to screw herself.
He rushes over to find that the punishment is about to begin. She's ready for it: resigned to her fate.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The first six swords hit her and Rocky has to be restrained. He screams for it to stop.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rocky is incredibly faithful, but he'll hold a grudge until he's dead. You do good, he'll back you up for life. You do evil, he'll kill you. No joke. As for Yang Lan, she is not afraid of death or pain. She faces everything head on. Here we have them at what they do best: Rocky caring about others and Yang Lan facing trouble.
The last sword is about to fall: Rocky is freaking out and Yang Lan watches his reaction.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Just when the last sword is about to hit her, here comes my favorite character Yang Yan saving the day!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He's so cool.
Anyways, Yang Lan is saved from punishment but incredibly weakened. Rocky is too weak to save her. This punishment would probably have killed him.

Rocky gets beat up because his disciple brother is a jerk who likes to beat up demons with amazing hair and cocky attitudes. Yang Lan witnesses all of it and is reminded of her brother trying to stop Heaven's soldiers from taking away their mother.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
To save Rocky's ass from bullies (because deep down she has a heart too), Yang Lan commits arson...like the badass she is. Look at that smirk!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Her punishment is severe: seven swords will sever her muscles and tendons and she will lose 300 years of cultivation making her extremely weak. But does she back down? Admit defeat? Lie to protect herelf? No.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Such a badass.
