I think episode 6 of Filter traumatised me into stopping - at least for a while? That "plan" the women executed was a horrible joke and nothing about this episode felt ok. #cdrama

I'm 5 episodes in, but Filter's script doesn't get better. Somehow the whole thing doesn't come together and seems constructed around the slapstick and/or silly jokes. Like, the plot is only there to ramp up for the next joke they wanted to make. Maybe this is aimed at a *much* younger audience than me. But I'd still say the message isn't great even then. #cdrama

I definitely had not thought it would be Moonlight Mystique that captures my little drama heart next, but here we are. 😅 #cdrama

Uhm, hi, America, I think someone left the door to your kindergarten open and some toddlers escaped, could you put them back there and shut the doors, please, thanks?
Getting rid of even basic courtesy in diplomacy is really not a good look.

The "revenge" Su Cheng Cheng acts out on Tang Qi in episode 3 of Filter is so childish, if this sets the tone of the rest of the series I'm gonna be disappointed. Watching grown-ups act like 6 year olds is not my kind of comedy. 🤷‍♀️ Tan Jian Ci's acting talent is as yet not needed seemingly, as he's mainly just told to stare? #cdrama

A #cdrama I have been eagerly awaiting is out: Filter. It has an interesting premise, what if you could magically look however you want to? 2 episodes in I'm not quite sure if its message is going to be a good one - the concentration on stereotypes of "beautiful" and "ugly" is quite strong. But it's early episodes yet. Also not sure why they made Tan Jianci's character such an utterly mean and shallow a** at the beginning. Yes, it's hinted at that we just misunderstand him, but whew.

Thanks for having the back of real artists and local culture, like a public broadcaster should. *irony off*

Finished Guardians of the Dafeng, and it was a blast. I loved it. And they did it again: 36 fluffy, silly fun episodes and then from 37 on they take out the big emotional hammer and smash you into tiny sobbing pieces. Should anybody utter criticism about Wang Hedi's acting towards me I'll gladly point them at episodes 38 and 39 - watch this first and then say that again. He was very good throughout, but in these 2 episodes he was stellar. The message at the end leaves me a bit thoughtful though, they did a thing I'm of two minds about... but I have to admit the catharsis was mighty fine. 😳 #cdrama #chinesedrama

I finished Riverside Code at Qingming Festival yesterday (had to take it a bit slow because dramatic) - and it's hands down my drama of 2024. It's the best. Best characters, best storytelling, best acting. I loved Zhao Mo Er so much, I felt like he was my own 弟弟. Gu Zhen was such a nuanced and many layered side character, very very good. Every character had their own profound development (except maybe the Zhao patriarch, but he already had hidden layers ;-) ) - And Zhao Bu You and Wen Yue - just got to love these two. ❤️ #cdrama #chinesedrama

Perfect Match is really a curious thing. I've watched 3 episodes and wow, do I dislike all the male characters in it. If this is supposed to be a play on the Pride and Prejudice theme, the writers have really misunderstood Jane Austen... it's as if they modelled all characters after Lydia and Wickham. 😑
The core relationship problem in P&P is about their characters being misrepresented towards each other and their respective pride... and prejudices... keep them from realising that. They don't actually hurt each other at every turn, and the one thing where Darcy does Elizabeth's family a grave wrong is done in good faith towards his friend, not to deliberately hurt their livelihood or prospects like in Perfect Match.
The main leads' relationship to each other is so skewed in Perfect Match that not even Wang Xing Yue's smouldering gazes we all loved in The Double can save it. He seems a bit lost at what to do with this role, imo, too.
Meh, I really looked forward to this one. 😑

Wow, Kill my Sins is wild! They set the viewer on the wrong track several times in the first two episodes already. The story turns around 180° several times - very intriguing! I suspect it will become quite brutal, but it *is* an intelligent show so far. Also loving the female agency! #cdrama #chinesedrama

I'm really not fond of the "Stockholm-syndrome" plots in #cdrama I realised. These are mostly the ones I drop. Except if they explain VERY fast that the ML is not actually an asshole but masks as one for a *good* reason. 🤨
