XL's bird from LYF. It's a pet and a ride. Also that horse he rode in the air as FFB looked fun.

DG's chariot is also very impressive.

Jing's little fox was adorable too in LYF. I would adopt it in a heartbeat.

Let's be honest, I'd adopt all the animals.

That uncle... I really wanted to just punch him in the face.

That's definitely the beauty of this drama and one of the reasons it lingers in our thoughts long after we've watched it.

Similar taste in dramas and now also similar taste in clothes 🖐️

you're welcome 😊 Enjoy

No, that's another one. The title of this one is just Nezha. It's set in ancient times. It's from 2019.

It's hard to choose, but I'll try to pick one character from a few dramas.

TTEOTM > TTJ: he had a nice range of different costumes. Some were flowy and ethereal looking and others were dark en imposing.

FOF > ZY: While all if the characters were well dressed in this drama, ZY's outfits were to me on another level

LBFAD > DFQC: what can I day, demon kings know how to dress

TBL > NXY: I like the contrast of his outfits to those of the main leads. They're flowy and ethereal looking. The outfits in TBL match the characters really well.

Eternal Love > BQ: I love that the costumes look simple, but they are also elegant and match the mood of the drama

I'll stop now.

It's an animated movie.

The Hot Spot caught my attention too on Netflix.

I have wanted to watch this drama for so long, I can't even remember when I put it on my PTW list. Then they announced that there will be a second season and I wanted to wait and watch it together. Now there's a season three in the making and I'm hesitating again. BUT, given that there was a 5 year break between the first and the second season, my patience seems to have run out and I decided to just watch it after I catch up with the January dramas.

I need to catch up, so after TBL, I'm going to watch MM. Then either IAN or GOTD. That will depend on how much I'll need a laugh after MM. Then it's time for JOL. So I'm set for at least a while. By the time I'm done, the February dramas will have aired all the episodes and I can catch up on those. Love of the Divine Tree is obviously on the list and I also watch to check out Kill My Sins. That's the plan so far.

Anything in particular you're planning to watch?

I might try a few episodes, but not right now. I've already decided what my next few dramas after TBL are going to be.

Is it that bad? I was actually looking forward to it.

Wow, 8 years already. I feel like it was just yesterday when I did my 5 year rewatch. Time really flies.

I loved the first Nezha movie. It was absolutely adorable.

🤣🤣🤣 sounds about right

The tears were worth it

For me TTEOTM shows how easy it is to focus on the bad, the sad and dark and give in to our darkest impulses. Multiple characters in the drama end up making horrible choices out of bitter experiences. Sometimes one such experience is enough to make someone obsessed and cruel. Obviously the most obvious example is TTJ who is constantly put through hell. In the first timeline that lead to him becoming the DG, because he never got to break through and see the beauty of life. In the second timeline, with LSS's intereference he gets to experience the other side of life. The joy, the happiness and love and in the end focusing on those his world becomes brighter and warmer and affects his choices. LSS teaches him to focus on the positives, thus changing his worldview.

So for me, this drama teaches us to try and see the beauty and warmth and not to hold on to negative emotions. Yes, darker moments in our life shape us as much as the brighter ones, but, it's all a matter of what you choose to focus on.

I'm looking forward to it.

I'm actually loving it. MXL's straightforward and flirty personality is a very nice contrast to XXC's serious and upright character. I'm loving their dynamic. NXY is very ambiguous, which is also interesting. I'm only halfway through though. I feel like most of the earth shattering moments are still to come.
