Title: #FromRepairToPair #月里青山淡如画

Main Cast: #TeresaLi #ZhangChao #SmileHu #SmileWei

Episodes: 23

Platform: #Viki

So I love Teresa Li so this was a definite watch for me. Teresa was super adorable and funny in this. I wasn’t into the ML but he grew on me though at times I was like omg come on man lol. This was such a slow burn, not because it took them a while to fall for each other because honestly that was quite fast, it was more that it took them forever to finally tell each other how they felt. The third wheel character wasn’t super annoying because he never had a chance. Qui Yuan’s cousin was such trouble and annoying for most of the show but his side relationship was fun to watch. In the end I thought this was a super cute romcom that’s definitely worth the watch especially if you are a Teresa Li fan 🥰🫶🥰

Yibo Marie Claire - December 2024

White can be so "hot" with just a little blush, Wang Yibo is thinking.

Like the sunshine in Marseille, orange projects hope, and Wang Yibo also sees another side of himself.

The vitality surging under the calm, green always makes people so surprised and at ease, Wang Yibo has his own world.

Blue has an inherent mystery, and Wang Yibo is enjoying the time that belongs only to him.

Maybe there are also surprises besides colors, right?

Marseille, swinging between the city and the ocean, shows a unique modernity and relaxation. The development of this city may have its own pace, which also created the utopian city gene here. The most desirable thing is the warm Mediterranean sunshine. Looking back at Wang Yibo's 2024, it may be "warm" enough. The tenth anniversary of his debut is a dividing point, but also a starting point. He is more focused on himself and has gained more. Feel every moment of the usual Utopia with Wang Yibo.

Poorest Little Meow Meow Round 1: Kim (Kinnporsche: The Series) vs Zhang Teng (Kiseki: Dear to Me)

[Submitted Reasons Under Cut]

Kim: Like a wet, feral stray cat. Huge eyes and so, so pretty. Good at music and fighting but so socially awkward. Responded to "I love you" with "I'm hungry." Desperate for love and affection but believes he doesn't deserve it. Engaged in a relationship under false pretenses with a teenage fan (Chay) of his in order to gather information on Chay's brother who is a new bodyguard for his mafia family. Also does a lot of maiming and killing. Shatters poor Chay's heart (and his own) to pieces by breaking up with him and saying he never loved him. Realizes he does in fact love Chay and wants him back. Does he try to accomplish this by taking to Chay? No. He stalks him and kills people for him and publicly posts a song begging for Chay to come back. Definitive poor little meow meow.

Zhang Teng: none submitted

As the savior in the eyes of the world, Shihou (played by Zhou Pakho), a wise and wise person, deeply worried about the desperate little girl Ba Haixing (played by Chai Wei) because he once gave her a glimmer of hope but failed to fulfill it. Many years later, in a fierce battle with the Three-Eyed War God, the Intelligent Stone Monkey was broken from his golden body and fell into the mortal world, but unexpectedly reunited with Ba Haixing. How will the spiritually Intelligent Stone Monkey, who has lost his divine power and experienced a love disaster, achieve self-salvation under the conspiracy of the wood god Jumang (played by Li Shuai) to bring trouble to the world?

@dribs-and-drabbles' ask to @respectthepetty about gloves being used to represent the love that characters have reminded me in a way of this image that's been sitting in my mind since I first saw it.

While that post is about the use of red to represent celebration and love, mine is about the metaphorical spilling of blood in the name of the ones you love as shown by the costuming in this scene of To Sir, With Love, or Khun Chai.

As someone who almost never picks up on colours, this image of Tian stayed in my mind long after the show was over. There are so many things that contribute to why this costume and scene made such a lasting impression on me.

In this scene, the members of the Five Dragons Association, headed by Song, meet to pay their respects to the dead members of the association. Song makes use of the occasion to announce that Tian will be getting married to Mud and will also inherit the role of leader of the association from Song. As this is supposed to be a celebratory event, many in the scene, are wearing either red, pink or lighter colours. The irony that the choice of red clothing, which is supposed worn in this scene for the joyous occasion, seems to look like blood splattered on Tian's shirt.

Being the successor of Song's position, it makes sense that both Song and Tian are wearing shirts with the same motif of embroidered dragons. The image of the white dragons is clear, against the dark blue of Song's shirt. However, Tian's shirt sports a dragon in red against the darker shade of red, causing the dragon to look almost blood-like, rather than being a clear image. Although Tian does not spill any actual blood, the sacrifices that chooses to make during this scene are represented by the red on his shirt.

Tian's love for his mother results in him making numerous sacrifices for her. He agrees to the engagement with Mud, despite knowing that he loves Jiu, because his family, especially his mother, wants him to be the successor of the association. Aware that his mother has been murdering people in his name, Tian also purposely sets himself us to be seen burying the evidence so that he will be caught and exposed by Chan, whom he knows will not hide her discovery from their family. Tired of carrying his secret, which he knows is the reason that his mother has been killing people, he also chooses to out himself and the relationship that he has with Jiu. His last sacrifice for his mother is choosing to turn himself into the police for her crimes, as he blames himself for being the reason that his mother has felt the need to commit murder in her attempt to prevent the secret of him being gay from being revealed, which would result in him being removed as heir and possibly even disowned by his father.

By choosing to take his secret that he has buried deep within him and making it known to his entire family, Tian understands that he is going down a path of no return. While it would stop his mother from killing for him, he would also be condemned by his father. Having witnessed his father's strong reaction to Zhang being gay, the love that Tian had been receiving from his father may have felt as thought it were dependent on the condition that Tian were not gay. Tian may have tried to be the perfect son to be worthy of that love, but knowing that he was not able to meet that sole requirement would have been a pain and fear that would have kept growing within him.

The secrets, lies, guilt and pain that Tian chooses to carry and take responsibility for become a visual metaphor through the red on his shirt, which is meant to evoke joy and happiness, but is instead representative of the immense pain that Tian chooses put himself to go through for the rest of his family. The irony of this scene is that red is worn to represent celebration of Tian's parents' wishes for him: inheritance of the position as heir and marriage, while Tian is condeming himself to a tragic fate that he has not wanted nor asked for and his pain is visualised as the red across his shirt.

Tagging @lurkingshan because I essentially kept you updated on how this was not going anywhere lol

Laws of Attraction กฏแห่งรักดึงดูด Ep.01

sorry to @ginnymoonbeam and anyone else from the discord crew who's seeing this twice, I hope to type up a more coherent something at some point, but I wanted to record this somewhere.

I've put a cut because this is LONG, but the reactions include translations of stuff that apparently didn't get translated on iQiyi. Mind that I'm not fluent, this is without guarantees, etc.

WHOA starting right on a dramatic courtroom scene … and why does that the defendant look familiar?

oh fuck, he uses dirty tricks. I'm not surprised, but WOW.

haha, hi dude who played Jaosua Zhang in Khun Chai

oh god this Chinese is … something.

that shirt is a CHOICE

oh, wait, is this the dude who played … what's his face, the one who was going to sell out Thian in Khun Chai? is he gonna be our antag

ahaha he hit a nerve

ahaha how is it ALWAYS Film's characters getting saved by Jam's

ahaha Chaan hitting on Tinn. He's so sleazy, yikes

and of course he's hitting on Tinn, and Tinn has good instincts and avoids the murder eyes

oh god he looks dangerous, how is this the dude who played sweet Thian?? ACTING!!!!

… I'm not gonna comment on that

of course this show is gonna make it a mission to make me hungry

Khao is so cute

this is gonna hurt so much, eh

ooh so he teaches Taekwondo!! this is so cute

oh goodness, she wants to make merit for her parents ;-; SWEETHEART

HOLY SHIT. That wasn't even a hit-and-run, that was an intentional running-over

oh shit, these dudes look hiso

uurgh Chaan's face here is just like "here's money coming my way"

this kid is so prett I'm sure he'll get an redemption arc, but I hate him anyway, for now

here come Tinn and his auntie crashing this hiso politician's press junket, oops

Sign reads:

The lawsuit is not making progress. The perpetrator has not been punished.

they're really going for maximum

I love how Chaan already owes Tinn his life twice over, this is gonna make for an interesting dynamic

the romantic music, I cannot, this is a SOAP and it's leaning into it, I'm LIVING

oh, the way the mood INSTANTLY changed here, goddd

oh god, Chaan is SO removed from reality

or, well. jaded, I guess. Which we knew! from the trailer! BUT STILL

"you'll regret that" holy SHIT

WAS THAT THE ROSEWOOD AGAIN

oh, so Chaan also has Trauma(tm)?

This show is in the future, the texts read:

29 July 2023, 8:30, acc x-9732 incoming transfer 100 total balance 178,274.59 29 July 2023, 8:30, acc x-9732 incoming transfer 400 total balance 178,574.59 (idk I didn't math this, it's what it says) 29 July 2023, 8:30, acc x-9732 incoming transfer 400 total balance 180,574.59

love the commentary on this type of "journos"

I love Tinn's sister

I'm already excited for the moment Chaan starts to care. it's gonna be EPIC

he's such an ASSHOLE and I'm having a hard time with that because Thian was so sweet ACTING

I'm flashing back to Gram and White's "legal vs ethical" debate in Not Me

he can't apologise? oh Chaan, I think Tinn is going to make you eat your words.

okay I like that Tinn is apparently an asshole to everyone. equal opportunity asshole.

10:33: Ended voice call (22 seconds) 13:45: Message: "From today on, the party lawyers will take over Thaenthai's case. As for your wages, you can send [the bill?] now. I'll take care of it." (EDITED thanks to @recentadultburnout for your correction!)

I'm starting to think Tinn just doesn't know how not to be antagonistic

oh god are they gonna beat him up while he's wearing a ruffled blouse

oh YIKES

the shot of whatever that was? that's gonna be relevant later, I bet

YOU TELL HIM, TINN

acab acab acab ACAB FUCK THEM

oh god this show is gonna hurt even worse than I thought

If Chaan set that beating up I'm gonna … idk. not be surprised. but.

I can't believe the trailer essentially covered most of ep 1 and not that much from later on???

I didn't think we'd see Chaan undress and … from that set-up quite possibly assault him this early. Or frankly at all, despite how it was set up in the trailer. YIKES

THAT PREVIEW, HELP please tell me this is also a two episode a week show

Stay With Me (2023) - 哥哥你别跑 - Whump List

List by StayDandy Synopsis : Su Yu, a high school student who lives a simple life with his father, faces a major change when his mother remarries a wealthy man, introducing him to his step-brother Wu Bi. Despite their initial differences, Su Yu being a cold and arrogant top student, while Wu Bi is an unreasonable underachiever, their relationship takes an unexpected turn. As they gradually warm up to each other, their bond grows stronger. However, when a heated fight arises, their true identities are revealed… (MDL) AKA : Addicted | My Family Won Lottery | Innocent Playmates | Brother, Don't Run

Whumpee : Wu Bi played by Xu Bin (left) • Su Yu played by Zhang Jiong Min (right)

Country : 🇨🇳 China Genres : Life, Youth, School, Friendship, Family, Censored Adaption, BL / Boys Love

Notes : This is a Full Whump List • Adapted from the novel "Are You Addicted?" (你丫上瘾了) by Chai Ji Dan (柴鸡蛋) • A remake of Addicted (2016) • I have to say, for a Censored Adaption, especially now-a-days, it had more BL moments than I would've guessed ... nothing near Thai BL level, or even SK, but still, more than I anticipated - in a good way! • It ends on a freakin cliffhanger!!! BUT, according to the MDL comments at least, it's been granted a 2nd season!! 🤞

Episodes on List : 7 Total Episodes : 24

*Spoilers below*

04 : Su Yu has a nightmare

07 : Wu Bi is punched

11 : (at end) Su Yu beat up

12 : … continued from previous ep. ... Bruised

18 : Waiting all day in the sun … kicked into a fountain … sitting in the rain, shivering … waits outside a 2nd day in a row

19 : Pale … throwing up … sick, hospitalized … stomach-ache

24 : Su Yu & Wu Bi in a car crash, Wu Bi protects Su Yu with his body, gets the brunt of the crash, Wu Bi knocked out, both bleeding.. Su Yu carries Wu Bi to the ambulance, receives chest compressions

@nonkul hello beloveds~ guess who's watched eps 5 and 6 of khun chai 🍄✨ the plan is to finish it before laws of attraction starts airing because this time i'm watching weekly with everyone!!

first of all chan slayed that funeral look 😍 but those cgi rats 😭😭 it was even worse than the snake lmaoo also like. do rats eat meat???? i know it's a lie but everyone was like yeah makes sense??

the shadow theatre scene!!!!!! tender gay romance at its finest. and i like that they both know what it is between them. when jiu draws a parallel between the lady white snake and tian and tian says that maybe she got to live on earth with the man she loved after all meaning that if he's the white snake jiu is her lover?? that was flirting. i'm so proud of my boy 🥹

and i liked that when he saw jiu talk with ma he didn't draw his conclusions and run away but confronted jiu about it in his gentle way and jiu didn't deny it and admitted to doing dirty jobs for ma bc he depends on him and tian didn't judge him for that. and then the ending of ep 6!!!! i was expecting something like that from the moment i realised jiu still doesn't know who tian is. aaaaaaa i can't wait to see how it all plays out i'm so excited omg

i like yang and bua investigation duo and i like tian pin and yang on their how to ruin a wedding in 1.5 months mission akshsjks and ofc tian and yang's love for each other 🥺🥺 and i like my feral loser girl chan even though she wants tian dead but i mean. that moves the gay romance forward so

i don't like madam li 🙄 and i don't like mushrooms 😭😭 tho tbh i didn't find it as disturbing as i thought i would. i didn't skip this time bc then i'd have to skip every five minutes lmao i really didn't expect the plot to revolve around them 😭 but that dinner scene would be so funny out of context everyone enjoying the mushrooms and madam li sitting there absolutely terrified aksgsjsksk btw can someone explain to me why jia always uses this mushroom glitter? does she not know any regular paralysing poisons? the flesh-eating mushroom part seems to bring nothing but inconveniences

also!! if tian's father still feels guilty for zhang's death can i maybe hope that he won't judge tian for being gay 🤔 or maybe he's a hypocrite 🙄

this is all over the place but i really enjoyed the eps!!!! will watch ep 7 tomorrow if not tonight 👀 love youu <3333

- @ahxu-laowen

SOF BELOVED HI SEEING THIS IN MY INBOX WAS SUCH A JOY! But you have 15 days now to watch 11 episodes djdkd will you manage

I will never get over the khunchai cgi fauna and flora. So so extra.

Ahhh i am so obsessed with the shadow puppet scene :( the way it packs so much of the their characters and the theme of their romance its so so so beautiful. Tian wanting to retell the lady whitesnake story 🥺🥺

HAHAHAHA i was always hateful towards mushrooms now imagine my aversion!

Yang and pin 🥺🥺🥺 they are my fav side couple of all time... Mayhaps... Mayhaps hets have rights

Tians parents fir now can choke jdkdkd

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me it brings me so much joy 🥺❤️
