Thought #TwelveLetters was rough, #HadINotSeenTheSun said hold my beer. 😭

Merry Christmas from #WangZuyi of #TheVendettaOfAn. #cdrama

#EYDC2025 Day 25: Sweetest romance of 2025 I absolutely adored the couple in #CoronersDiary. He was so smitten with her but also respected her and treated her like an equal. They were an absolute joy to watch. iQIYI even made a compilation of some of their sweet scenes for me. #cdrama

#EYDC2025 - Day 25: Sweetest romance of 2025. This one goes to #cdrama #CoronersDiary. They found each other early, respected and supported each other's capabilities, and never ever wavered in their affections and commitment.

Nothing like crying on Christmas Eve over a drama. I only have one episode left but it will have to wait. My heart needs a break. #TsengChingHua out here always making me cry. #HadINotSeenTheSun

#HadINotSeenTheSun is good but damn it needs all the trigger warnings.

#SomedayOrOneDay had Last Dance and #HadINotSeenTheSun has Clair de Lune. #amwatching

Amidst a Snowstorm of Love gets lots of love but #ZhaoJinmai was exceptional in #StandByMe and it kills me that it's so underrated. Also, everyone knows #Reset is one of my absolute favorite cdramas. She's a fabulous actress! #cdrama

Now I want to rewatch #YouAreMyLoverFriend. 🥰

TMW the library gets a new #BL manga. I must immediately check it out so they know we want more!

I loved participating in different bookish challenges this year. Women in Translation Month, Sapphic September and 12 books rec'd by friends. I did a manga month as well. Diversity and opening up your world is a beautiful thing and it's so easy to do.

"She had left him with only the sword to love, chasing after a hollow glory he didn't want." I really enjoyed this novella. I just finished and I already want to read it again! #BookSky 💙📚 #BookishQOTD

Everyone voting for #ADreamWithinADream, you are my people! 🫰🏻 #cdrama

I have to work today so let's get coffee made, orange cranberry bread sliced and find a new book to start.

One episode of #TheVendettaOfAn is not enough. *throws tantrum* In the words of Willy Wonka, "The suspense is terrible. I hope it'll last." #ChengYi #cdrama

#EYDC2025 Day 24: Favorite costumes of 2025 It's hard to just pick one, so I'm gonna shout out costume designer Yi Xiao Ya. She gave us lots of eye catching costume designs this year in #LoveoftheDivineTree, #CoronersDiary, #ShadowLove, #FatedHearts and #SwordandBeloved. #cdrama

Gotta put Jeff haunting us with some Christmas cheer on my timeline. 😘 Video courtesy of his Instagram. #JeffSatur 🎄

Tried to watch more of my romcom for a mental health break but I just can't do it. Why do I struggle with romcoms so much?

Finished part 1. Man that was painful. Do I buffer for a minute and pivot to something easier or just power through and hit play on part 2?

These teens in my drama are vile but their parents are just as bad. The way all these adults and society in general are failing these girls is making me angry and breaking my heart.

I am ready!

Girls with poisoned skin whose touch is deadly... yep I got two of them. Meet Chen Duo in #IAmNobodyTheShowdownBetweenYinAndYang and Elver in The Sleepless (my current read). 💙📚

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? I can count on this clever fox to have an amazing plan but whether we all make it out alive is a whole nother story! #TheVendettaOfAn

Harper's Bazaar is over here taunting me with wired earphones too. 😘 #MunKaYoung #KooKyohwan #OnceWeWereUs #kdrama

Everytime I get one of these lovely moments in my dramas I get mad all over again they took away my wired earphones. Sharing is caring but not out loud! 😘🫶🎶 #cdrama #kdrama

#BookWrapup25 Day 23: Book with the prettiest cover I want to showcase Tran Nguyen's beautiful work. Here are three I read this year with gorgeous cover art done by her. She's gonna be illustrating Brandon Sanderson's newest secret project, "The Fires of December" as well. #BookSky 💙📚

"Wounds can be healed. But what about the heart?" #TheVendettaOfAn #cdrama

#EYDC2025 Day 23: A drama that made you think I'm picking #SuchAGoodLove for this one. "But, does "worth it" really matter? Regret not doing the things you wanted to do, not daring to love the people you wanted to love? Let's set whether it was worth or not aside. At least they dared." #cdrama

No more talking to myself. Off to bed.

Another day and the death toll rises. I prepared myself for a high body count going in so I knew what I signed up for. #TheVendettaOfAn #cdrama #ChengYi

How dare you make me choose?!

Finished reading Nobody in Particular today. Definitely similar vibes to Young Royals but a bit lighter. Didn't quite hit me in the feels like Young Royals did but still an enjoyable read if you are after something similar. #BookSky 💙📚

Workday is done. Now to decide which drama to watch on the bus ride home.

#EYDC2025 Day 22: A drama that deserves the hype Everything you've heard about #FatedHearts is true. It absolutely lives up to the hype. Enemies to lovers done perfectly. Acting, chemistry, plot and visuals. No noble idiocy & a beautiful OST. It's the complete package. Not to be missed. #cdrama

#WangYinglu and #WanPeng 😍 #cdrama

I hope you aren't following me for popular opinions cuz apparently I'm generally in the minority.

Do it for the dimples! But in all seriousness, #WangYinglu, #ZhouYiran and #TwelveLetters absolutely deserve all the praise. #cdrama

People are already doing their best of 2025 drama lists but like the year isn't over yet. The way I binge dramas I could still find another fav so mine is TBD.

Watched a bunch of episodes of my binge watch but I must stop for the day. It's way too sad. A girl needs a break and to find some joy.

Fun to see #ToShipSomeone being brought back up. The leads and their chemistry definitely made this drama worth it. The first half was a lot of fun but the latter got draggy and overly dramatic. Lots of hugs, kisses, and an umbrella rescue for this fanfic-y romp were appreciated tho. I shipped it. 😘

Time for Ramen and my new binge watch.

Ok but I love this look on #LiuYuning. Sassy and chic. #JinJing Weibo Update with #ZhangLinghe and #LiuYuning #TencentVideoAllStarNight2025 #cdrama

Really enjoyed #LegendOfZangHai. I adore #LiLandi tho and keep trying to decide if I should give #Filter a try.

8:30: leave for work 8:32:

Another thing I loved and surprised me about #TheBestThing is that they showed a healthy and supportive dynamic in dealing with a long distance relationship. Timezones and separations suck but they aren't the end of the world. #cdrama

one of the things being a romance reader has taught me is that purity culture (all sex is bad) and porn culture (all sex is salacious/emotionally hollow) are just two sides of the same coin, and it's really not worth fighting with either group of people.
