TTEOTM, Lost You Forever and Love You Seven Times stood out for me.

Zhou Shen has a very beautiful voice. It matches costume dramas so well

He has a lovely voice and a very pleasant on screen presence.

It's hard to choose. Either Black Bird or Let's Be Like This for Ten Thousand Years. TTEOTM OST was gorgeous. There were two songs from Back From The Brink that stood out for me too. Enlightenment and Nirvana

I only discovered TJC in 2023, so I'll have to pick him

Thanks for the advice. I think a vacation first is the best idea. Humid and hot might be fun a couple of weeks, but not necessarily month on end. Especially if you're not used to it.

Good luck!

She wanted to die with him, because with him gone the world won't need a Goddess to protect it anymore. He pretended like he was going to allow her to die with him, but in the end still saved her life and died alone.

It wasn't her ghost in the crypt. He just conjured a vision of her to say goodbye, because he couldn't say goodbye to the real her.

I wish I could spend my Christmas in Hawaii. Better yet, I wish I could just move there.

I'm going to have to say Lu Xu Xiao. She has an incredibly pleasant on screen presence and is definitely impressive in the way she brings her characters to life.

Oooh, that reminds me of watching Argentinian telenovela Muñeca Brava with Natalia Oreiro. My sister and I loved her.

I personally did enjoy the Dream Arc. It's a very tragic part of the story with some infuriating characters. I think the reason why people have a hard time with it is because it's basically putting the main story on hold to show us a different one while we're all just impatient to see the rest of the story unfold.

Definitely. It's all planned and I will be getting tissues ready.

I loved Nodame. I don't know what I was expecting of that drama, but it was an absolute blast to watch. As silly as it was at times, it was a very emotional drama as well. It was among the first Jdramas I watched. The first one was Hana Yori Dango. The first KDrama I watched was Boys Over Flowers. The first Taiwanese Drama I watched was Meteor Garden. There's a pattern. 😋

We're close the end of the year and are all still affected. The residual effects of this drama are just too strong

Started with JDramas in 2006, KDramas in 2009 and CDramas and Taiwanese Dramas in 2009.

Spotify just showed me the 5 songs I listened to the most in 2023. All 5 are TTEOTM OST. Not surprised.

I'm definitely enjoying the drama. As you said, I do understand some of the changes and I don't agree with other changes, but as a drama I'm still loving it.

One of the aspects that did thankfully carry over from the novel is the impact of the emotional moments. The drama is funny, colourful, fun and adorable, but we're also given the emotional parts as well. That's one of the things I loved about the novel and now also the drama.

Made it to episode 13 and Ying Shi has really grown on me. Unfortunately my dislike for Xiu Ming has also grown. I'm also starting to dislike the Heavenly Emperor. He seems suspicious. Maybe it's just me having watched too many Xianxia dramas with horrible Heavenly Emperors.

She's going to cause you even more headaches from now on. Prepare yourself.
