#FatedHearts (2025) – dir. chu yui bun, francis nam and gu zhi wei

Finally got around to watching #MsIncognito and it blew my socks off. The first two episodes were so good. I’m rooting for Kim Young-ran to survive and end up wealthy. The Attorney is so sassy. He is going be a scene stealer. #MsIncognitoEp2 #JeonYeobeen #Jinyoung #SeoHyunwoo

#LovesAmbition has been such a refreshing surprise package so far It’s unique mixture of makjang, romantic comedy, melodrama & sensitive humanity - combined with an outstanding performance from Zhao Lusi - means its popularity is entirely merited #cdrama

The makeup removal scene of #ZhaoLusi in Episode 15 #LovesAmbition is just 👌 Her turning point: she's done with putting on a mask and the lies! I'm so impressed with ZLs performance in this #cdrama !

I’m running behind others with my watch of #LovesAmbition, but the scene in episode 8 when Zhao Lusi’s character’s deception comes close to being exposed is so well done! A genuine drama moment 🙂 #cdrama

It’s a strange sensation to see a drama you’ve enjoyed be energetically torn to shreds by others who respond to it in a different way, & who interpret even the smallest detail in a different light It’s as though people were watching completely different dramas 🙂

The first meeting between these guys is not for the faint hearted - they certainly do not begin their relationship as friends! We will have to see how two natural enemies find their way to friendship (or anything more…) #FatedHearts #cdrama

Fans are particularly gathering around this drama to show their support to #ZhaoLusi, but I’m also assuming others might do the same thanks to the way she has been transparent about the whole ordeal with her agency. It’s like people in general are showing up for her to say FU to her (for now) boss.

There are a few people that are inspirations to almost all scientists that I know, and Jane Goodall was one of them. RIP. 😢

Jane Goodall (1934-2025) 🤍

[Exit Lady.]

Jane Goodall's work insisting, with evidence from her brilliant and tenacious fieldwork, that we were not so separate from animals, and they were much more like us than the Eurocentric theorists asserted, was so important.

I’m watching & enjoying Zhao Lusi’s new drama #LovesAmbition, but given its unusual premise, it’s surprising how popular it is I wonder if the attempt by her agency to freeze her out has made people want to watch her dramas even more? #cdrama

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Based on a somewhat true story.

Upcoming iQIYI’s drama #FatedHearts releases poster and announces October 2nd premiere!

I’m declaring #BonAppetitYourMajesty one of my favorite hybrid K-dramas. I might even like it more than #MrQueen (though this could be the finale glow talking). The ending was fitting. I laughed and I almost teared up. #BonAppetitYourMajestyEp12 #Yoona #LeeChaemin #ImYoonah

Day 25: Empress Although Zhen Huan (played by Sun Li) doesn’t (for various reasons) become Empress, she does become the most powerful person in the palace Disillusioned with court politics, she nevertheless maintains balance as Empress Dowager #EmpressesinthePalace #cdrama #dramajobchallenge

#BonAppetitYourMajestyEp11 showcased #LeeChaemin and #ImYoonah at their best. Their scenes together, plus the reveal about Yi Heon’s mother, were great. Now all that’s left is the finale. #BonAppetitYourMajesty #Yoona

We’re currently missing Ghostbuster, Hit Man & Exorcist - among others - from our #dramajobchallenge 🙂 (although we had some great chefs!)

Day 24: Emperor For his deep cunning, dark charisma, unfathomable motives, & mastery of political intrigue, I pick the Emperor of Qing from #JoyofLife (both seasons), played by Chen Daoming He’s not a nice Emperor, but he’s a fascinating character to watch #cdrama #dramajobchallenge

What is your favourite #kdrama #cdrama #blseries portrayal? #dramajobchallenge Day 24: Emperor #NieYuan with his more realistic portayal of flawed, arrogant, egoistic king with whom I nevertheless fell in love like #WuJinYan did! I ❤️ this epic saga in #YanxiPalace youtu.be/IiO59WXtJDs?...

Day 23: Idol I know some people won’t like this pick because it shows a grittier, more realistic side of K-pop 😉 (though I felt Derpy the tiger & Sussie the six-eyed magpie stretched believability in this case) 😊 #KPopDemonHunters #kdrama #dramajobchallenge

Day 22: IT/Game/Software Developer It’s been a busy day, so I’ll just choose an obvious drama that probably others have mentioned already In #StartUp Nam Do-san (Nam Joo-hyuk) is a programming genius who helps Seo Dal-mi (Bae Suzy) create a new app for her company #kdrama #dramajobchallenge

Day 21: Office Worker Kurosawa’s #Ikuru - meaning “to live” - is about a man working in a monotonous public works department who discovers he has only months to live Inspired by a female office-worker’s love of life, he returns to his work to help install a playground #jdrama #dramajobchallenge

That moment when you know for certain that a character in an East Asian Drama has never seen an East Asian Drama 😱😢#cDrama #ThisThrivingLand

If you are looking for a visually stunning #cdrama with a strong female protagonist, an inspiring gender message, a beautiful romance and a gripping revenge/redemption narrative, look no further than The Legend of the Female General (Viki)... I loved it! #thelegendofthefemalegeneral

Day 20: Cabin Crew In #FlightToYou Cheng Xiao (Tan Songyun) is a female pilot who overcomes prejudice, misogyny & setbacks to become captain of a passenger jet She’s apprenticed to an ‘enemy’ who becomes her ally 😘, while her best friend becomes a flight steward #cdrama #dramajobchallenge

Nearing halfway in #cDrama #ThisThrivingLand and conflict and tragedy is looming. So far I'm madly in love with EVERYTHING about the show - the acting, writing, music, the STUNNING landscape scenery. The ONLY flaw is that I am STILL waiting to see XiuXiu & SuSu's father gnawed to death by rabid rats

Literary Chinese for a foggy morning, courtesy of Xin Qiji 辛棄疾 (1140-1207): 何人半夜推山去？ 四面浮雲猜是汝。 Someone came in the night and stole our mountain away. Drifting clouds surround me. (Was it you?)

Day 19 - shop owner I’ll go with the bittersweet tale of the flower shop owner in #arsenalmilitaryacademy. I liked the redemption arc and the memory loss made it all the more compelling. #dramajobchallenge #kdrama #cdrama #jdrama

Day 19: Shop Owner In #FlourishedPeony & #IntheNameofBlossom He Weifang (aka Mudan, played by Yang Zi) successfully makes her way from social outcast to prominent merchant, through her gardening skills & business intelligence (discretely assisted by a man with a fan 🪭) #cdrama #dramajobchallenge

What movie do you consider perfect?

#Mobius is picking up speed as we head towards the last few episodes! I must admit that after a strong first few eps it took me a while to adjust my viewing lens to the pharmaceutical corporation storyline - but now I see how integral it is to the overall plot I’m much more invested 👍 #cdrama

Day 18: Pharmacist In #TheBestThing He Suye (played by Zhang Linghe) divides his time between a conventional hospital & a TCM pharmacy He’s a principled doctor who treats everyone fairly, but there’s no doubt he has a favourite client 😉 #cdrama #dramajobchallenge

Hyper BF x Calm GF #cdrama and where to watch: - #FallingIntoYou (Youku, Viki) - #YouAreMyDestiny (Viki, WeTV, Prime Video, Tencent) - #MeetYourself (Viki, MGTV, HuaceTV) - #FallingIntoYourSmile (Netflix, WeTV, Viki, Tencent, Youku) - #YoungBabylon (Tencent, WeTV) Enjoy~~!

Day 17: Mobster In #Gokusen Kumiko Yamaguchi (played by Yukie Nakama) is the granddaughter of a yakuza boss & heiress to the family business However, she decides to become an idealistic teacher at an unruly high school, where her yakuza fearlessness comes in handy! #jdrama #dramajobchallenge

Day 16: Military General I thought I’d choose a female & a male general for this one. To those that know me these picks won’t be a complete surprise, but I still think they make pretty darn good generals! 🙂 #cdrama #dramajobchallenge

Day 15: Film Director Hirokazu Kore-eda’s 1998 film #AfterLife is about a small team of hard-working clerks/counsellors who help the newly arrived dead to recollect their happiest memory, before filming it so they can pass on (see trailer) #jdrama #dramajobchallenge youtu.be/f8K_YxtdzRo?...

Day 14: Architect #FullHouse is very dated now, both in tone & production values, but I liked it! The FL (played by Song Hye-kyo) is the daughter of the man who designed & built the house. Sold out by bad friends, she enters a contract marriage to retrieve her home 🏡 #kdrama #dramajobchallenge

Chinese movies and where to watch them: - #YesterdayOnceMore (Viki, PrimeVideo, Tubi, AppleTV) - #JustForMeetingYou (TencentVideo) - #OneWeekFriends (WeTV) - #MyBestSummer (Viki, iQIYI) - #BetterDays (Netflix, Hulu, AppleTV, Tubi, PrimeVideo, Roku) - #RadioLove (IQIYI) - #UpcomingSummer (Netflix)

#cdrama #MoonlitReunion Rather than a romance drama it was a tale of a fantastic new world - colorful & bright- an Ode for tolerance and uniqueness! I felt like a family member, so dear to me grew them all! WATCH AFTER CREDIT!!!⚠️⚠️

Day 13: Soldier Most of the iconic military kdramas have been name-checked, so I will instead share a light-hearted but atmospheric Republican era drama, #ArsenalMilitaryAcademy, where Xu Kai & Bai Lu play amusing but courageous amateur soldiers who train together #cdrama #dramajobchallenge
