Royal Nirvana (2019) - 鹤唳华亭 - Whump List

List by StayDandy Synopsis : A story that follows Crown Prince Xiao Ding Quan who faces enemies from all sides and falls in love with a maidservant who wants to kill him. He is a son simply yearning for his father's love, wants nothing more than to be a dutiful son and subordinate, but his father, the Emperor, is distant towards him because he is backed by his maternal uncle and the army the latter controls. Meanwhile the Emperor turns a blind eye to his illegitimate son Xiao Ding Tang's ambition to take the throne. Despite the conflicts, the crown prince is a man willing to sacrifice his life and reputation for his country. (MDL)

Whumpee : Crown Prince Xiao Ding Quan played by Luo Jin • Gu Feng'en/Jia Yibo [Ding Quan's maternal cousin] played by Zheng Ye Cheng

Country : 🇨🇳 China Genres : Historical, Psychological, Romance, Family, Political, War, Bromance

Notes : This is a Full Whump List • Even though this drama is quite long, kinda depressing, and only about half whump (tho there's a shit-ton of emotional whump that I didn't note), I still think it's worth the watch. It's really well made and acted! • There are quite a few heart-wrenching moments. Ding Quan is an emotional character (I mean that as a positive note). I felt so sorry for him most the time, & in the few moments where he finally found acceptance or acknowledgment, it's so touching.. but the good moments never seem to last long enough. He's not a perfect character by any means, not above using dirty tricks to reach his goal, but still, I just wanted to give him a big hug by the end of it all. • Episode 60 has an after credit scene that connects it to a 12 episodes Epilogue that was released a few months later called Royal Nirvana Special (2020). Apparently they are episodes that were originally cut from the series. Where I found it to watch it was only subbed up to ep4 (& poorly at that). Still, I did quickly flip through the rest of the episodes. It ends in tragedy, and I decided I won't be making a list for it. Even though the Special does tie up a few loose ends, you can make do without, and if you (like me) want a marginally happy ending I suggest you don't watch it.

i'm so desperate for a new crime drama starring two dilfs, i freaking dreamed of this airing the other night LOLLOLLOL...i know the poster looks like beyond evil xD. based on the summary, they grew up together. one became a detective, and the other became the leader of some online fraud ring. this is going to be interesting! i know at least we'll get top notch acting.

The Princess Wei Young. 8

Story: 9

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10 👌

Comparable to: Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (kdrama) ; Empress Ki (kdrama)

Oof this is one of those historical dramas where you love it and hate it at the same time. Seriously. There’s so many good moments in this drama, especially in the first half of the series where i practically binged through twenty episodes, which is the main problem. They tried to draw out this series as much as possible making a ‘meh’ later middle half. It drag a lot unfortunately Being 54 episodes long I think it could’ve been cut down by at least ten episodes. Nonetheless the chemistry between the two main leads are beyond everything which made me to stick with it. They were the heart of the drama. Be forewarned though. You’re going to need a few boxes of tissues to get through this one.

You'd be lying. Should we earn money by lying? When the going gets tough, you choose the easy way out. Some deeds are to be avoided forever. Once we do it, it will become a habit.

You work very hard but don't get paid a lot. Why are so adamant about doing things the right way?

Xing Fu, you are way more resilient than me. You are an amazing person. No matter how much of a failure we've been, you are always here to have our backs, you are the greatest treasure of our firm.

Xing Fu and Guan Tao over a meal.

I'd be lying if I didn't say yall are missing out. This has been honestly the biggest and prettiest fish on my plate these days.

Ebola Fighters (2021) - 大国担当之埃博拉前线 - Whump List

List by StayDandy Synopsis : With an overarching message about a shared future for mankind, the story depicts China's efforts to provide medical aid during the Ebola outbreak in West Africa in 2014. Virologist Zheng Shu Peng and China's medical team engage in an arduous fight against the virus that has claimed many lives and ultimately succeeded in their mission. (MDL) AKA : Brave Heart

Whumpee : Zheng Shu Peng played by Luo Jin

Country : 🇨🇳 China Genres : Military, Drama, Medical

Notes : This is a Full Whump List • Idk what it is, but I love Luo Jin's voice. After watching (& loving) Royal Nirvana I took a wander down his filmography & added quite a few shows to my watch list. • While it's based on real-life events I cannot speak on it's accuracy. I was 23 at the time, but I don't really recall much (must admit I always had bad grades in social studies) - sad truth is I barely remember my country's events let alone another's (fr tho - too much shit has been happening in this lifetime). • That said, it's obviously more of a biopic, so there's really very little whump, but I wanted to make a post for what there was, and in the end, it is an interesting watch. • TW : the whole show is about a deadly disease raking a poverty stricken nation, just be aware of the type of imagery & events that comes with that.

Episodes on List : 2 Total Episodes : 24

*Spoilers below*

04 : Gunshot near head; ear ringing, blurry vision, unsteady

16 : In a fight; chokehold, thrown down on a pile of rocks

ROYAL NIRVANA —final thoughts

Watched the entire show in about 3 days.

No drama has made me weep this hard. I have watched nirvana in fire and it still didn’t make me ache as much as this one did. The production quality, the politics, the cast and the costuming is great.

Tbh I wasn’t really that invested on the main pairing all that much, it was mostly due to my personal preference as romance in drama is not my cup of tea but even then, the relationship just seemed so forced? The actors are amazing and Luo Jin clearly did a fantastic job as the main lead and same goes for Ms Li Yitong as dear Abao, but I couldn’t help but feel it being dragged.

The biggest complaint relating to the two characters, maybe the show itself, is the whole hidden identity plotline that they tried so hard to make work but flopped. Atleast for a good chunk of the show the writers desperately wanted us to keep us impatient for the revelation, but each new episode came, more reasons came to dislike the otp. The suffering the girl goes through is first. Also , there is happy music playing because ml and fl are back together so suddenly when just a moment ago the ml had punished the fl by flocking her(though he is not aware of her true identity yet)

Also allow me to mourn the missed opportunities! Instead of not dumbing her down and letting the cp know beforehand so they can be awesome partner in crimes, they instead opt to turn her into a fool and the root of all trouble. I mean for the love of GOD just let him know, he fell into like 20 traps and caught trust issues because you can’t tell him your name and make it easier for all of us. At first I could understand why she hid her identity cuz i mean she is the daughter of a convicted man who was executed, but as the episodes went by I found myself begging the gods to end it all. Not to mention the abuse was just so unnecessary??? Like the very foundation of this show relies on the cp and how kind he is and how everything done against him is justified, but then he turns around and shows us that to people lower than him, he is capable of just as much cruelty as his father.

Which oh boy….his FATHER of whom i will talk about in another post but yes, back to the ml and fl.

Given the time period tho I understood. The drama itself is trying to depict the more harsher and real side of politics and given heavy inspiration from patriarchal Song Dynasty, I am not suprised and didn’t really necessarily turn me off from the ML. And I wouldn’t even mention this here if it weren’t for the fact that the scene when he found out about ml being Mr Lu’s daughter fell FLAT. Acting wasn’t the problem but the writing. It lasted for like 2 minutes? Torturing that lasted for what i understand , months, and 2 minutes of reconciliation. Maybe I remember it wrong but it was just so, it was not up to the mark.

Other than this, i had no issues with the romance plot, tho I wasn’t the most attentive student anyway. As far as I am concerned i was here for politics and OH BOY did they d e l i v e r

Alot…actually, quenched my thirst AND gave me hyponatremia. There were times when i could not catch up, and I don’t even remember the draggy small plots around ep30-43 ish? the translation work also isn’t the best, but beggars can’t be choosy.

The drama gets draggy around the middle but then shoots off near the end again.
