Can someone tell my why all the main female leads in the Chinese drama I have watched have crimped hair? It's subtle but it's there.

Welcome to The Journey to the West (西游记) Daily!
You are about to beging a reading journey to get the hidden Buddhist texts accompanied by the monk Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong, Sha Wujing, Zhu Bajie and Bai Long Ma.
To beging this journey you must subscribe to the newsletter, which you will find at https://journeytothewestdaily.substack.com/. You wil receive your first email this week, welcoming you and sharing information about what's to come and what I will include in the emails.
However, beforehand I want to tell you already that you won't receive a daily email, despite the name of the newsletter. The chapters are dense and full of references to folklore or religion references that you might be unfamiliar with, so you will receive an email every 2 or 3 days maximum.
If this is the first time that you hear about this newsletter and you don't know what Journey to the West is...
The classical Chinese novel Journey to the West is an extended account of the legendary pilgrimage of the Tang dynasty Buddhist monk Xuanzang, who traveled to the "Western Regions" (Central Asia and India) to obtain Buddhist sūtras (sacred texts) and returned after many trials and much suffering. Gautama Buddha gives this task to the monk, whose name in the novel is Tang Sanzang, and provides him with three protectors who agree to help him as an atonement for their sins. These disciples are the Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, together with a dragon prince who acts as the monk's steed, a white horse. The group of pilgrims journey towards enlightenment by the power and virtue of cooperation.
The novel is perfect for the epistolary format, since it's is divided in different and disconnected adventures, so you don't have to always remember what happened in the previous chapter to read the next!
We'll be reading Anthony C. Yu's translation since it is the first unabridged version that we have available in English. It is about 100 chapters long.
As I said, you will receive a first email as soon as you subscribe and an introductory email in a few days. Please, share this post so more people can read along. Use the hashtag #jttwdaily if you want to comment your impressions. I'll share the most important dates soon.
May the Buddha help you in your endeavours.

working girl diaries // habits to maintain sanity ✒️🖤
Tumblr media Tumblr media
we have a saying in our department, "if one person succeeds, it's the success of the team, and if one person fails, it's the failure of the team." that's the root of no-blame culture that allows everyone to grow and learn, keeps toxicity and burnout-inducing stress at bay, and fosters an attitude of having each other's backs. whenever i made a mistake, i used to be very hard on myself, which makes me much less productive. over the years and with amazingly supportive mentoring from my former manager, i learned to put my mistakes in context to not only improve, but also move forward. so today i felt especially frustrated at a current superior's hypocritical way of handling a situation that goes against all of the above. i'm also frustrated with myself for allowing their attitude to get to me and falling back into my old, counter-productive ways. i'm trying not to let it weigh me down anymore.
❤️ journalled about The Drama™️ at work
🥰 workout with @studentbyday
🎧 当我飞奔向你 (Chinese comprehensible input, but also this is my new comfort show)
📚 read a chapter of Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone
🥰 went for a walk
📝 Chinese lessons (2x) for the dopamine hit
💌: i really hope there isn't any more drama since i have to start prepping for final exams soon (not to mention actually taking them 💀) if there is... well, i suppose i'll just have to deal with it 🙃

Your highness, you are chosen as his highness’s soulmate by the love bridge. If you can make all three shards fall in love with you, you will open up the possibility of his resurrection. 
Finally met all of Xuang Shang’s shards. They’re all so distinct from one another.

TOP 9 DRAMAS I WATCHED IN 2023
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
inspector koo (2021) - everyone here is a different flavor of fruit, crime show exclusively made for girls and gays and it’s the best thing that ever happened to me
when i fly towards you (2023) - this is what happiness is all about
doom at your service (2021) - “love me to the point that you want to destroy the world for me” that’s it that’s the line
love all play (2022) - wfkbj for people who aren’t annoying
little women (2022) - second half felt like a makjang damn the writers were spiraling and i couldn’t stop watching (gay little women i love you)
twinkling watermelon (2023) - worth the hype
bloodhounds (2023) - i remember my letterboxd post for this saying you can almost smell the testosterones through the screen but it was absolutely binge worthy, kinda homo if you ask me!
daily dose of sunshine (2023) - park boyoung is the loveliest human being
law school (2021) - is it insane to beg for a season 2 the chance is low but nonzero… right?
HONORABLE MENTIONS
Tumblr media
hidden love (2023) - im tired of people saying the word chemistry about the main couple but it’s true they invented it
designated survivor: 60 days (2019) - maybe political dramas aren’t always badly written, also han nakyung please give me a chance
celebrity (2023) - user joanyio stop finding invisible gay subtext in every show you watch challenge failed
the good bad mother (2023) - such a gem *continues to ignore mommy issues*
time and him are just right (2022) - cute and perfect for mindless watching in the background while you do other work
the worst of evil (2023) - instead of forcing the love triangle turned love square the writers should have made all four hot main characters make out with each other it would have been perfect
and because of love all play (2022), see also:
castaway diva (2023), witch’s diner (2021), and unlock my boss (2022) (although i haven’t finished this one yet) chae jonghyeop is my new lee dohyun (read: male actor i enjoy watching multiple projects of simply because he doesn’t give me the ick). i also rewatched hot stove league (2020) for park eunbin and jonghyeop after castaway diva, still one of the all time best dramas i remember it used to be my twitter handle years ago baseball is so cool i wish it was real
DRAMAS I STARTED LATE DECEMBER 2023 AND FINISHED EARLY JANUARY 2024
shining for one thing (2022) - please don’t watch this show it was made only for me and i’d like to gatekeep it forever
reset (2022) - never watched a drama execute time loop plot device as perfectly as this did
UNFINISHED BUT PLANNING TO CONTINUE SOON
derailment (2023) - i was baited by a tiktok i thought it’d be a cute silly little high school drama but boy was i surprised
one day off (2023) - she’s living the dream

Empresses in the Palace ep 12
"Father took a greater liking to you."
🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨
Prince Guo,
Tumblr media
Lady Cao is such a strong contender. I clearly underestimated her before. She's set up our protagonist in a no-win conundrum.
It's such horror vibes because there is a constant tension. Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after you.
Every step is a potential falter. And faltering in the wrong moment can quickly lead to dishonor & death.
I truly respect Zhen Huan's head maid (she's an old hand in the palace, so she's got great survival skills) but, "Above all, you've earned his Majesty's trust"
Nah, hard disagree. Whatever any affection or belief that man has for anyone is ephemeral. I'm guessing she's just trying to stabilize her charge's mental state. It must be exhausting to live in high alert at all times. And her appeal to the emperor is that she's ~fresh and ~genuine and ~true hearted. So it's dangerous for her to be perceived as anxious and reticent.
LMAO the empress is not dumb. Cost-cutting into everyone's luxuries? no, I can't possibly steal the credit for such a GREAT idea. Prisoners love when you take away pizza night and ice cream Sunday. This in no way will lead to unrest and wanton violence. Make sure everyone knows whose proposal this brillance was. 😬
Hua Fei on the screen. Such glamour! Such poise! Such glorious bitchiness.
Tumblr media
Our girls' new lady parts doctor is named Jiang Cheng? I would not. Y'all gonna end up infertile.
Lady Cao really wants that promotion but idk if it's always a great idea to achieve a higher profile in these games. Tall grass gets cut etc. She's clever but making a lot of very visible moves lately.
Poor Fourth Prince. I hope that kid lives and gets away with pushing Third into a pond.
Please bring Jiang Cheng (who happens to be related to my enemy) to inspect my nubile young body!
Lady Cao's obvious smirk. Folks, she's still got it. Pave that way to promotion with the blood of the fallen.

Dramas I watched this past month! The month of the rewatch. (Also spoilers!)
Crush (cdrama) 6.5
This had such a strong start and then went downhill bad (like really bad).
Psychology student decides to sort of intern (? at a special education school and meets a blind braille teacher there. There’s also music involved.
Like in most cdramas I’ve watched, everyone behaves like a twelve-year-old, and the conflict starts out of things that an adult should be able to prevent. The main couple drastically changes in the second half, and it’s like you are watching a whole other drama.
Into the Ring (kdrama) (rewatch) 10 ⭐️
My eternal love to Nana in this (and in general. I’m in love with her). Se Ra is probably my favorite FL from all the dramas I’ve watched.
I remember being very skeptical the first time I saw this (because politics, kinda boring?) but it was so worth it.
Park Sung Hoon is also such an excellent companion to all of her craziness. His and Nana's chemistry was one of the best ones. The awkward but somehow very comfortable atmosphere you feel while watching them is next level. Still one of my favorite dramas. 10/10, I adore it.
Doona! (kdrama) 8
I still have mixed feelings about this one. The sort of angst romance was on point. Actors were good, narrative was fast-paced and kept me entertained. Doona is presented as a complex character and so the story even with happy moments, feels very bittersweet. But even with all that, I feel like I'd have to watch it again because there’s something that puts me off but I can’t quite decide what it is exactly.
I also want to know why they had her wearing tiny tank tops and shorts in snowy winter lol…
A Business Proposal (kdrama) (rewatch) 8.5
The first time I watched a business proposal I didn’t really like it. I thought it was way too cliche and absurd and dropped it after the third episode. It was the fourth kdrama I had watched after Crash Landing on You, Hometown Cha Cha Cha, and Twenty-Five Twenty-One so like… it had big shoes to fill in. I came back to it eventually and finished it.
Now after rewatching… I think learned to appreciate a good over-the-top rom-com (they became my favorites lol) and this definetly hits all the boxes. It feels like an instant classic. Also music 10/10.
Usokon (jdrama) 7
If it is marriage contract/fake dating then sign me the fuck up!!! Usokon started strong but at some point (around episode 8/9) I started getting frustrated. We know that there are feelings involved, but nobody is doing anything about it. The ML (even though he absolutely steals the show) doesn’t do anything to move forward, and the FL is too clueless to make a move. And so there’s not enough romance in a drama that is primarily romantic since the main focus is their fake marriage/ relationship. Also, it had such a frustrating ending!!!
My Girlfriend is a Gumiho (kdrama) 7,5 ⭐️
Nothing beats old kdramas, they have such a particular nostalgic vibe that makes you unable to stop watching. My girlfriend is a gumiho was so sooo stupid, childish, and even cringe, but so cute!!! Every time Shin Min Ah and Lee Seung Gi were together on screen I couldn’t stop smiling. I can totally see this one becoming a comfort drama. Another one with soundtrack 10/10.
Daily Dose of Sunshine (kdrama) 9
I read somewhere that this was like a mental health for dummies book, and to be honest, it’s kind of like that, but it works so well! The way they visualized mental disorders was so creative, I was impressed.
All the characters were intriguing enough to keep me going. Everyone had something to offer here. Even the patients from each episode.
Watching this felt deeply sad yet deeply comforting as well. Park Bo Young absolutely kills it (as usual. QUEEN).
Twinkling Watermelon (kdrama) 9.5
This one was pure gold. Time travel to meet the younger version of your parents? Sign me fuck up. The idea of sending Eun Gyeol back in time to try to understand his family and live his youth is such a cool (and emotional af) premise. It had the ideal balance of comedy and emotion. I feel like sixteen episodes weren’t enough. I could have sat there for another twenty episodes watching those teenagers being silly lol.
