My CDrama Diary

1.1.23 Checked MDL this morning. Very Big Name Drama started this morning and has dropped 6 episodes already! AAAAAH! I’ve been waiting on this for over a year! So excited. Off to renew my Tencent subscription…
1.2.23 I’m so invested in Very Big Name Drama!! The leads are perfect for each other! The chemistry is amazing! The mystery surrounding the FL’s parentage and possible connections to the ML’s childhood has me on the edge of my seat! I can hardly think about anything else.
1.3.23 Got an episode or two behind on Very Big Name Drama. Got distracted by Short Republican Era Drama With Dubious Moral Standards. Stayed up half the night binging even though I don’t really respect it, nor myself for watching it. I can barely think about anything else.
1.4.23 Tried to get back into Very Big Name Drama. Honestly, it’s starting to drag. The push and pull between the leads is getting pretty tiresome and I’m watching all the stuff about the second couple on 3x speed.
1.5.23. Oooh, New Xianxia just dropped. I have a bad track record with finishing these, but this time I’m really intrigued—it’s got this actor I really like, the artwork is cool, and every other post on the Reddit sub is about it. I’ll just take a look. Off to renew my Iqiyi membership. . . .
1.6.23 Stayed up half the night binging New Xianxia. I’m so invested in this couple! The tension is killing me! Can’t think about anything else. But no new episodes for two days, so I might as well finish Short Republican Drama with Dubious Moral Standards. I don’t know why I’m watching this.
1.7.23 Finished Short Republican Drama with Dubious Moral Standards. Potentially happy ending somehow miraculously averted at the last minute by an incomprehensible bloodbath, followed by a 1 minute epilogue that shows the leads having some ambiguous encounter 5 years later. I think this is what the Chinese call “philosophical.”
1.8.23 Saw a spoiler today on Reddit about New Xianxia. It has completely taken away any desire whatsoever for me to watch it. Tried to get back into Very Big Name Drama and I just can’t.
1.9.23 Oooh, Very Serious Drama with Real Actors and Meaningful Themes has just dropped! Off to renew my Youku membership. . .
1.10.23 Am inexplicably bored with Very Serious Drama with Real Actors and Meaningful Themes.
1.11.23 Cute 16 Episode Rom-Com is just so darn cute! I love the chemistry between the leads and the way they keep playing around with familiar tropes! Unfortunately, it’s on Mango so I have no idea what’s going on.
1.12.23 Have given up on Mango subs and am trying to watch Cute 16 Episode Rom-Com in the raws. For something so predictable, I’m having to look up a ton of words. But next time there’s a drama about the car design industry, I’m going to be so ready. . .
1.13.23 Stayed up half the night watching 2 episodes of Cute 16 Episode Rom-Com. At some point I realized I had been watching for about 15 minutes with absolutely no comprehension whatsoever. I may have actually been dreaming part of it.
1.14.23 Oh, thank goodness. Viki is finally subbing Cute 16 Episode Rom-Com! Off to renew my Viki subscription. . .
1.15.23 Could Viki take any longer with these dang subs? In the meantime I think I’ll restart Really Promising Drama that I Put on the Back Burner Last Year.
1.16.23 Why did I ever drop Really Promising Drama that I Put on the Back Burner Last Year? It’s so good! I can’t think about anything else.
1.17.23 Really Promising Drama is good, but it’s sooo slow. Cdramas have made so much progress in the past year. But I should really finish it because I’m only about two episodes from the end. Meanwhile, I’m absolutely loving Cute 16 Episode Rom-Com. I mean, the one episode per day Viki is releasing.
1.18.23 Twenty minutes away from the end of Really Promising Drama and I just can’t go on. Loving Cute 16 Episode Rom-Com but the wait is killing me. Maybe I’ll go back and take another look at New Xianxia.
1.19.23 Finished Cute 16 Episode Rom-Com. So good! Can’t seem to get back into New Xianxia. Have checked the new drama listings on MDL about 5 times today and the only Cdramas they have are those Douyin cosplayer 2 minute ones.
1.20.23 There’s absolutely nothing to watch. Maybe I need a new hobby. I was spending too much time online anyway.
1.21.23 Another day with nothing new to watch. Actually had a real phone conversation with my sister! Forgot how funny she is. Finally got the vacuuming done and read a book. Is this what it’s like to have your life back?
1.22.23 Checked the MDL page this morning and AAAAAAHHH! Another Very Big Drama has dropped. I’ve been waiting on this for months! Off to renew my Tencent subscription. . .
