Windchime

2024 is her year for sure. Two of her dramas just aired and they were already a success.

The MC and by the Emperor of Northern Qi/Zhan Dou Dou. When her gender began to get questioned by others, she drugged Fan Xian with the help of Haitang Duo Duo and Si Li Li (both of them know her secret and are loyal to their kingdom, that's the reason why Haitang never ended up with the MC) to get pregnant herself and make others believe that she's a man through showing them a child. Zhan Duo Duo then married Shi Li Li as imperial noble consort and announced the child as theirs (and that Shi Li Li carried it). Fan Xian only found out about the child quite late into the story.

Not only was it a terrible thing to do, it also made no sense because if Zhan Duo Duo was going to claim that Si Li Li carried the child, she could've told her to seduce him and get pregnant (Fan Xian and Si Li Li even had a small 'romantic' subplot, he mistakenly thought it was Si Li Li who drugged him and did that to him that night) so it would've been more logical. The only reasons why she didn't do this could only be — either she wanted the child to have her own blood/lineage instead of Si Li Li's or she already had ulterior motives towards the MC.

Chen Pingping's wheelchair is lowkey more useful than having legs. It's got hidden buttons and all, can't say the same about anyone's legs in this drama.

Is it that drama where a high school teacher gets diagnosed with brain cancer but one of his students mistakenly thinks that she has it instead and rather than telling her the truth, he continues to make her believe that so he can watch someone else going through the same grief and hopelessness as he did, and then he falls for her? My drunk friend told me the wacky plot and title but his ass is going through a hangover now so I need someone else to help me out here.

I can't stop looking at Fan Xian's wig, it's so smooth and thick without coming across as fake. I wish my hair were like this lmao.

I knew you'd get me, we aren't besties for nothing.

"It's best if I know nothing."
"What makes a good crown prince? Someone who knows nothing."
About to tell my parents that I'll make a good crown prince so they can stop complaining about me being clueless and dumb.

36 episodes aren't enough I want this to become the longest running cdrama to ever exist. I need one episode each day until I'm on my deathbed and telling my grandchildren that they need to watch JOL if they want the inheritance.

Baba looks more like a lil dumpling than actual dumplings do.

Loved the meta humour in the beginning of episode 1, everyone pestering that woman to know what happened to Fan Xian because he stopped updating the story was a personal attack 💀

This drama always has banger openings. The song, the visuals, the editing is just chef's kiss.

The title is a mood

I've unfortunately seen it too :( I agree that it has the same vibe though! It was a great drama.

How did some of these clichés made their way into this drama? And who the hell even likes the 'salty girl who only exists to kill the vibes' trope? If you do, I'm going to track you down and tape you to the ceiling. You'll only have a stupid spider in the corner to accompany you as you reflect on your actions and goofy ahh taste.

They cooked in the first half and then turned off the stove.

Prettiest vertical drama I've seen, it was beautifully shot.

Everytime there's a gl set in a lesbian bar, it feels like free therapy. There's just this comforting vibe, perhaps because there's multiple characters and even when they might be strangers, they genuinely care for each other, they listen to others' stories and share their own. Once I'm able to come out of the closet irl, I'm definitely visiting a lesbian bar. I want a bartender to give me some older sister advice and possibly a discount lol.

Or maybe you can give me a few free pigeons for some emotional support 👀

Season 1 is necessary, it's a continuation of that part, it can't really be watched as a standalone because then you'll have no idea about the context, or well, anything at all.
