Drama Gossip: Douluo Continent (斗罗大陆)

Source: Google Images

Having lost his mother at a very young age, Tang San grew up relying on his father just as much as his father relied upon him. Meticulous and mature for his age, with extraordinary talent and wit, he was sent to Nuoding Academy at the age of sixteen to begin pursuing his dream of becoming a great soul master. There, under the tutelage of Yu Xiao Gang, he befriends an orphan by the name of Xiao Wu, and together they begin the long and difficult journey of cultivation. As time passes, the two friends draw ever closer, eventually swearing to look out for each other as siblings for life.

As their power and connection grow, Yu Xiao Gang realizes they need more guidance than he can provide. Sending the pair to the Shrek Academy, Tang San and Xiao Wu join five other prodigies from various academies in their journey of cultivation. Strong in their power, the seven students become known throughout the land as the “Shrek Seven Devils”. With their fame ever-growing, the talents of the Seven are eventually noticed by a few very prominent nobles who invite them to continue their cultivation at the esteemed Tian Dou Royal Academy.

Not long after accepting the invitation, the Seven Devils find themselves caught up in an imperial struggle for power between the first and fourth princes. At the same time, Tang San uncovers a long-hidden secret about his mother’s death. Suddenly facing battles on many fronts, Tang San finds himself forced to fight, not only to protect those he loves but to bring honor to his sect, save his country, and complete his quest to become the greatest soul master of all time.

It's Just So Good, Ya'know?

In spite of being a Xiao Zhan fan, I don't love a lot of his dramas. Douluo Continent though, that is one of the few I truly enjoy. This is a rewatch and the parts that irritated me, I still don't like but the parts that I like, I still enjoy.

The biggest problem with this drama is the pacing. This is me being nice but oh boy, the pacing is all over the place with Douluo Continent. Also, I am just not a big fan of the romance in this show. Don't get me wrong, I love Zhu Zhu Qing and Dai Mu Bai's relationship, I had hoped to get more from them. The other two couples among the Seven Devils are quite cute but sometimes really redundant. Especially the many scenes of Xiao Wu and Tang San. I get it, but I did not watch this show for their romance, it's average at best.

That being said, lets talk about the show itself. Fantastical wuxia dramas without long melodramatic or constant betrayal scenes are my favourite. The storyline, the world, the characters, the action, Douluo Continent really is entertaining to watch. A downside? For a show focusing on people's powers and abilities to fight, there is a severe lack of action scenes. Sometimes, I just want the fight scene to drag on or show me more action rather than slow motion scenes of anyone being attacked and falling backwards.

Every time I watch Douluo Continent, I get the urge to watch the animation as well. Unfortunately, the animation is not it for me. So until the second instalment comes out, I really don't think I will consume any content of Douluo Continent except for this drama. A pity, really.

Magic The Gathering x Final Fantasy - Spoiler Season Part 1 (The Cids. Yes, all of them)

So the debut stream just came and went and I have an absolute truckload of cards to cover. So let's start with a singular card. Yes, I'm not kidding. Why? Because these people gave him 15 variants to talk about. So the gameplay section is gonna be relatively short, but the art section is gonna be HUGE. Hold on to your butts. Let's talk Cid, Timeless Artificer.

Very quick for flavor: White/Blue is completely on point for a helpful mechanic. White for the altruism, Blue for the invention. Moving on, I have a lot of art to get through for a singular card.

Let's talk about the mechanics. 4 mana for a 4/4 is perfectly on rate, no complaints and no compliments.

Then he has 3 abilities:

First, artifact creatures and Heroes you control gain +1/+1 for each Artificer you control and each Artificer in your graveyard. This is good, even really good. Make Cid himself more of an non-combatant, but still pumps up all your artifact creature and Heroes (mostly Hero tokens in this set, but the Spider-Man set is gonna get some nontoken Heroes). Very solid, especially since this ability continues to scale with every dead Artificer you have... which you will probably have a lot of, since:

The second ability is that you can have any number of cards name Cid, Timeless Artificer in your deck. So, all 15 versions we'll be discussing are legal to have in your deck and you could even have more. Keep in mind, they are all legendary creatures, so the legendary rule will go into effect if you try to have two of them on the battlefield on the same time without a card like Mirror Box or Mirror Gallery. This will also make it likely that you'll have a few Artificers in your graveyard if you are properly running a couple of these guys

Also, for 2 mana you can discard this card to draw a card. Also a very easy way to have your graveyard fill up with Artificers to make Cid's buff stronger.

So... this card is actually kind of nuts for an uncommon. It in reality really only has 2 abilities, that being the buff and cycling, but that's still very very good. Assuming you have 1 of every type of Cid in your deck, that buff can go as high as +15/+15 before factoring any other Artificers you might have in your deck. This does assume your graveyard won't be exiled though. That's the main weakness of this card, though you are in Blue and counterspells are easy enough to get in that color to protect your graveyard. If you want to run him as your commander, he will be fine and allow you to run the other Cids in your 99, though they won't count for commander damage.

For any 60 card format he's probably a bit too slow. 4 mana isn't the worst and he has a good body to make up for it, but you'd still not have much of a buff going at that point, with the game already being potentially done. It also doesn't help that this card pulls you in two directions: one being Artificers and the other being artifact creatures and Heroes, meaning you'd have to strike a nice balance in a 60 card format.

Now for the first of 15 arts and this one was chosen since this is the "default" Cid, as indicated by the card number on the left one. Credit to Lius Lasahido. Link to their Instagram. That sure is FF14's version of Cid, Cid nan Garland, in his airship. It is very nice looking and Cid looks completely on model compared to his FF14 in-game model. Not much else to say, it is nice and the colors chosen are nice.

As for the second Cid we'll be discussing, it is actually the original Cid, FF2's Cid:

Credit to Gal Or. Link to their website. This is definitely a bit muted, but that's probably about right. Cid and his underling are sitting in the workshop(?), so not much light is happening. Cid looks about right and so does his underling. Neat, not much to say about it.

As for the third Cid, FF3's Cid Haze:

Credit to LEE Woo-chul. Link to their Instagram. Very colorful! FF3's Cid is looking great and his workshop is also looking fantastic. Really like this art, despite the "radical" shades on Cid, which is completely accurate to his design, but still.

As for the fourth Cid, FF4's Cid Pollendina:

Credit to Narendra Bintara Adi. Link to their Instagram. Here we see a Cid jumping off the Enterprise to go close a hole to the Underworld with a bomb. Don't worry, he survives this. Anyway, somewhat bland background. You do see the Enterprise, so that's nice, but aside that it is just rocks. Cid himself is looking quite good though, so gotta give it props for that. Love that the bomb looks about to burst as well. Overall, quite good, just wished we saw one of the party members like reaching out for him or something.

As for the fifth Cid, FF5's Cid Previa:

Credit to Alexander Mokhov. Link to his ArtStation. Here we see Cid in his laboratory with his grandson, Mid Previa, in the background carrying a bunch of books. This is great, this really shows that they are just in a giant library, doing their things. Not much to say, Cid looks great, Mid looks great, the background looks great. Just overall a great art, probably tied for my favorite art of all the Cids.

As for the sixth Cid, FF6's Cid Del Norte Marguez:

Credit to Nijihayashi. Link to their pixiv. Cid is overlooking the extraction process of espers, to infuse more humans with their power. Dark. Also,this is a pretty great art. Well lit, but not unrealistically so. Cid himself does take a bit of a backseat in this art, but I think it is more than made up for with the environment this art shows with all of the tubes those espers are in. Very very cool, this is also tied for my favorite art of all the Cids.

As for the seventh Cid, FF7's Cid Highwind:

Credit to David Astruga. Link to his website. So this is the Cid I would've thought got his own card all together, but I suppose if you do one Cid, you have to do them all. I really want to be talking about other cards, but I did say I would cover them all. Anyway, Cid from FF7 on the Highwind. He looks great. I wish there was a bit higher contrast here, but that's not really what FF7 went for to begin with, so I'm not complaining too much in this case. It looks great and it is on model. Also, kind of wish there was a more interesting background other than just forest. Oh well, good art!

As for the eighth Cid, FF8's Cid Kramer:

Credit to Jake Murray. Link to his website. Cid showing most likely Squall that Balamb Garden is capable of flight and acts as your airship in the game... ish. You eventually get an actual airship, but this is a nice inbetween. Anyway, he's looking good. Good amount of contrast as well and a pretty interesting background. Very solid, not much to say.

As for the ninth Cid, FF9's Cid Fabool IX:

Credit to Kevin Glint. Link to their ArtStation. Cid leading the Lindblum air fleet. This is nice, good amount of contrast on Cid himself makes him stand out from the more muted background details. Those background details are also quite nice though, so honestly, not much to complain about with it being more muted. Also, look at Baku in the background. He looks so happy c:

As for the tenth Cid, FF10's Cid:

Credit to Nurikabe. Link to their pixiv. That sure is a Cid looking at O R B. He's on the bridge of the Fahrenheit looking at what I believe is the map, but I can't remember at the moment. In the background, you see that the Fahrenheit is flying over Spira. Overall, pretty good. Well lit, Cid is on point, the O R B is giving off pretty realistic amounts of light. Pretty good.

As for the eleventh Cid, FF11's Cid:

Credit to David Astruga. Link to his website. Second Cid that David Astruga had the pleasure of drawing, nice. Also, this sure is a Cid in a workshop. I don't have much to say. It looks well lit at least and Cid looks to be about on point, so that's something. This is just the most bland Cid art, but that's alright.

As for the twelfth Cid, FF12's Cidolfus Demen Bunansa:

Credit to Arif Wijaya. Link to his ArtStation. WHY IS THIS CID A GOLDEN GOD, WHAT?! I didn't play FF12 yet, I'm so confused... Uh, well, that's Cid standing before a golden triangle with some sort of gadgets beside him. He looks on point, the background is a bit boring because of the giant golden triangle. Still cool though, just massively confused by the giant golden triangle.

As for the thirteenth Cid, FF13's Cid Raines:

Credit to Russell Lu. I did not find any accounts they might have. I did find someone called Russell Dongjun Lu, but he has a separate credit on Kain, Traitorous Dragoon, so I cannot confirm whether this is the same person, especially since Russell Dongjun Lu doesn't post as much. That sure is a Cid Raines with Guardian Corps soldiers behind him. Overall, not much to say. Doesn't help that FF13 is another blind spot for me. It looks nice though and Cid Raines does look completely on point, so not much to complain about either.

As for the fourteenth Cid, FF15's Cid Sophiar:

Credit to Jason Kiantoro. Link to their ArtStation. This is colorful at least. It is Cid at the Hammerhead service station, where you take the car in case of repairs or whatever. That's... also it for what I can say about it. It sure is Cid at the Hammerhead service station. I suppose Cid is looking on point, but yeah, moving on to the last Cid.

As for the last Cid we'll be talking about, FF16's Cidolfus Telamon:

Credit to Magali Villeneuve. Link to her BlueSky. Properly lit. Bird. Cid playing with his thunder powers (yes, I know it should be lightning, but this shit has been called thunder ever since the original). It's looking nice, very nice. Kind of at odds with the Artificer title, but oh well. Doesn't matter, it is a Cid all the same. Cool!

AND THAT'S ALL OF THEM. THAT'S ALL THE F**KING CIDS. I'm on one hand glad that they did all of them, but holy moly is it boring to just be reviewing art of the same exact mechanical card over and over. Doesn't help that its all just one character, maybe a background character, in relatively boring backgrounds. Anyway, fun to have all the Cid cards. I'm now gonna cry in a corner as I have to review like 30+ cards in a day before the other spoilers come in. Thanks for reading and have a nice day o/

Synopsis from MDL:

What would you do if you accidentally cross over into the world of a script, and become the heroine who is abandoned and abused to death by the villainous hero?

Song Xiao Yu does not need to think about it. Without a doubt, she would run away as far as she can. However, no matter how hard she tries, the "plot" will always push her to the hero, Nan Heng, and stage one famous scene in the script, after another...

In this world of a script, there are also countless characters that have been "set" for a long time. Some people are trapped in the deep palace, some are trapped in aristocratic families, some are tired of competition amongst women, and some are running away from those in power. Some people yearn for love and freedom, but they can only dance around in shackles. Some people dream of rising rapidly, but their passion gets worn away by constraints and mediocrity day after day.

This is not only a fierce battle between the death fearing “salted fish”, Song Xiao Yu, and the vicious and merciless “grim reaper”, Nan Heng, but also the battle between every script character and their established fate.

[very-grownup]

So a couple years ago, I fell into watching Chinese dramas and because my posts about the most recent one garnered some curiosity, here are the dramas what I have watched.

Hikaru no Go

DID YOU KNOW. DID YOU KNOW. THAT IN 2020 THERE WAS A CHINESE DRAMA ADAPTATION OF HIKARU NO GO AND IT IS AMAZING AND MADE ME CRY ALL OVER AGAIN? It is faithful in spirit while making understandable alterations both for the setting and to avoid managing child actors for the entirety of the series (there are about six episodes with Hikaru/Shi Guang as an elementary school student before a time jump to high school).

If you are unfamiliar with Hikaru no Go I recommend becoming familiar with Hikaru no Go, my first and still one of the best sports manga. It's what Takeshi Obata was the artist on before Death Note and my hot take is that Obata post-Hikaru no Go is mid at best.

Hikaru no Go is a sports series about the most normal boy finding an antique go board that houses the soul of an ancient go master who died too young and with go regrets, so he bullies/guilts the boy into helping him play go so he can see or play a divine go move. In the process he acquires a rival/stalker in the form of the genius son of a go master. It's amazing and the drama absolutely does it justice.

The heart of the series is the relationship between Hikaru/Shi Huang and Fujiwara no Sai/Chu Ying.

It's just a fucking good series.

The Untamed

According to one description on imdb, this is about two friends solving a series of murders. This is technically true, although it neglects to mention a few details.

Sixteen years after doing a whole lot of demonic blood magic shit and dying because of it, hated by society, Wei Wuxian (Xiao Zhan) is brought back from the dead by more super demonic blood magic and is recognized by his noble and esteemed peer/friend Lan Wangji (Wang Yibo) and trying to deal with why Wei Wuxian has been brought back from the dead leads to their investigating a series of murders that result in their becoming entangled in wider political schemes stretching back twenty years.

It's got weird pacing, prolonged flashbacks to explain a lot of the relationship dynamics, and basically an entirely self-contained sub-story that brings the main plot to a grinding halt. There are creatures and CGI effects of interesting quality. There are amazing wigs. There are piles of corpses. There's physical torture and emotional torture and some doomed love stuff and sword fights and musical instrument fights and a donkey and chicken theft and brotherhood and what you're willing to sacrifice for your goals and what goals you're willing to sacrifice for and it is based on a novel that ends in the protagonists raw dogging on the side of the road.

That part's not in the show.

Douluo Continent

Ignorant country boy Tang San (Xiao Zhan) finds himself involved in the world of martial arts and magic after discovering a hidden talent and ends up in the group of fellow martial artists who are all weird or unorthodox or hiding crucial bits of their backstory like girl who is actually a rabbit and immediately decides Tang San is her best friend/husband (Wu Xianyi), guy who needs to become powerful enough to kill his older brother (Gao Taiyu), girl who rejected an engagement to the would-be brother killer and wants to fight him (Liu Mei Tong), guy who wants to ditch martial arts to become a great actor (Liu Run Nan), and girl who is too rich to be here (Ding Xiaoying). They learn together, they grow together, they fight monsters and embark on a tournament arc, and there's an overarching mystery about Tang San and his weak but simultaneously super powerful spirit summoning.

Even though the best technique is clearly the one where the boy in question can summon a sausage that you eat and heals you.

It's very much of a specific genre that can be pretty samey, but Douluo Continent has a charming cast that makes up for its predictable plot beats.

It does end on a cliffhanger that is possibly resolved in the sequel series where ... all the main characters were recast with, I'm guessing, slightly less pricey actors. Such is the way of things.

Word of Honour

Do you like knowing what's going on? Then get the fuck out of here, Word of Honour is not for you. Real ones want to be immediately submerged into chaos and confusion and secret identities. You want Mr Bones' Wild Ride in plot form. Why has former superassassin Zhou Zishu (Zhang Zhe Han) abandoned the sect of assassins he created to live in wandering drunk anonymity as he slowly dies? Why is Wen Kexing (Gong Jun) stalking him aside from poorly censored horny desires? Is Wen Kexing actually a ghost? Can any of the impressionable youths attaching themselves to Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing be stopped from their very poor choices in role models? What is up with this legendary hidden armoury and why do Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing seem unable to escape the conspiracy around it? HOW HARD IS IT TO GET WOLONG'S FAMOUS NUTS?

Not recommended for people who constantly want to know what's happening or why X is doing Y, but great if you want to watch with someone and then after an episode, walk your dogs and try to figure out what's going on and what's going to happen (you will be wrong).

Advance Bravely

What if the most ridiculously unrealistic and unhinged slashfic by a teenage girl who doesn't fully understand anything was adapted into a drama series where censorship means everything must be painted with a special "no homo" brush? You get Advance Bravely which is the most incoherently homoerotic thing I've ever watched. No one thinks you should watch Advance Bravely and you watch Advance Bravely and you agree but sometimes you just have to watch a beautiful trainwreck where the protagonist explains his lack of a girlfriend with erectile dysfunction and the series climax involves his being, essentially, trapped in a well.

Love Between Fairy and Devil

DO YOU WANT TO GO FULL SHOUJO MANGA FANTASY?

Innocent fairy Orchid (Yu Shuxin) just wants to strengthen her immortal spirit and pass the exam that would let her serve in the palace of the fairy capital so she can catch glimpses of the War God Chang Heng (Zhang Ling He) who she is hopelessly in love with. Instead, an attempt to help her crush causes her to bumble her way into the high security spiritual prison that has held Dongfang Qingcang, the Moon Supreme (Dylan Wang), for 30,000 years.

DO YOU LIKE BIG NUMBERS BECAUSE YOU WILL GET TO SEE SOME BIG NUMBERS IN TERMS OF TIME SPAN AND AGES.

Because of some plot magic, Orchid and the Moon Supreme swap bodies and loophole out of prison, much to her distress. Their fates are tied together and Orchid becomes more familiar with the wider world and the politics between the realms and how much the fairy realm's supreme ruler fucking suuuuuuuuuuuucks while Moon Supreme finds himself having feelings again after they were tortured out of him in a mystical coffin prison as a child.

Moon Supreme's closest friend is a dragon. Orchid's closest friend is an opportunistic snakeoil saleswoman. There's a pissy younger brother and a bitchy but honourable love rival. There are secret origins and reincarnation and hidden identities and the way it alternates broad comedy and melodrama and sweet romance may give you whiplash.

I just love a bodyswap, you guys.

Sailor Moon vibes but Mamoru is actually interesting and becomes likeable.

Guardian

Okay so the best thing about Guardian is not only that it's a censored adaptation of a novel with a same-sex romance, but that /the entire premise/ is altered for television purposes.

The novel is steeped in Chinese folk religion and the Underworld is real and mythical creatures secretly walk among us.

In the show?

ALIENS, BABY.

Ghosts? THOSE AREN'T REAL BECAUSE HUMANS DON'T HAVE SOULS, THEY'RE JUST ENERGY BEINGS.

It's so ridiculous it's endearing.

Anyway, it's about bros solving mysteries with a Monster of the Week vibe until it becomes about possibly the end of the world and alien domination and evil twins.

Mysterious Lotus Casebook

IT'S TIME TO SOLVE CRIMES. IN ANCIENT CHINA.

Quack doctor Li Lianhua (Cheng Yi) is just trying to live a quiet life with his dog and his horse-drawn house. Fang Duobing (Joseph Zeng) just wants to gain admittance into the martial art cop organization that's carrying on the legacy of his dead teacher, Li Xiangyi, who was maybe never actually his teacher and also wasn't killed ten years previously by Di Fei Sheng (Xiao Shunyao), the head of an evil martial arts sect who is also not dead. Not nearly as many people as people think are dead! Identities are cleverly hidden behind pseudonyms and various levels of mask!

Crimes are solved and Li Lianhua is very tired about the whole thing. It's an unwilling buddy cop sort of thing until it becomes about youthful hubris and the sins of the past and also one woman's determination to conquer the world and give it to the man she loves, even if he doesn't want the world and also doesn't love her. We love a woman who takes what she wants and if necessary cuts a man's tendons and imprisons him in a torture pool so his blood can't clot until he agrees to be her wife, don't we, folks?

Folks?

Story of Kunning Palace

The scheming empress Jiang Xue Ning (Bai Lu) dies and wakes up, eighteen-years-old, at the point in her life where she's on the verge of making the start of the decisions that lead her to the Very Bad End. She is going to make different decisions this time and prevent the things she regrets and avoid becoming the empress at all costs.

What you need to know about Story of Kunning Palace is that Bai Lu could have chemistry with a rock and she inadvertently collects a bisexual harem. Her end game love interest is Xie Wei (Zhang Ling He), the man who killed her, an advisor to the emperor, music teacher, double or triple agent, and sufferer of vampire snow madness and a fear of cats, whether adorably fluffy or badly CGI'd. But she's in love with noble civil servant Zhang Zhe (Wang Xing Yue), a pure and hardworking man who she seduced into betraying his principles, leading to his imprisonment and probable death. However, her childhood friend Yan Lin (Zhou Jun Wei) is in love with her and previously she rejected him VERY HARSHLY after his family fell into disfavour due to political machinations and Jiang Xue Ning had cemented the likelihood of her marriage to the next emperor. Also there's Princess Le Yang (Liu Xie Ning), who Jiang Xue Ning made an enemy of after the Princess fell in love with her when Jiang Xue Ning was crossdressing and did not take the reveal of her true gender well. Xue Shu (Elisa Ye) is an unfavoured daughter of a scheming lord who was the only truly loyal person Jiang Xue Ning knew as empress. ALL OF THESE PEOPLE FALL IN LOVE WITH JIANG XUE NING and you look at Bai Lu and go 'yes, that makes sense'.

It's mostly about the politics and scheming and Jiang Xue Ning trying to find a way to have a stable, satisfying life without betraying everyone she knows and standing on a pile of corpses, but the love shape Jiang Xue Ning isn't fully aware she's in is comparable in complexity to the plots between ministers and lords and dowager empresses and cousins and rebels.

The choices the characters make are maybe not always the best choices, but DAMN are they a good time.

Story of Kunning Palace is also one of the only times I have begged a character in a show to take a particular action and then she DID IT and fuck it was satisfying.

The Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty

IT'S TIME TO SOLVE CRIMES. IN ANCIENT CHINA. AGAIN. BUT WITHOUT MARTIAL ARTS.

Tang Fan (Darren Chen) is a low-ranking government official and detective genius who loves food and hates routine work, but loves a fucked up crime. Since he spends most of his money on delicious food, he writes trashy porn under a variety of pseudonyms to pay his rent. Sui Zhou (Fu Meng Bo) is an imperial guard and ex-soldier with PTSD who has no time for nonsense but loves the passionate pursuit of justice and food. He's also From Money and has a very empty house that Tang Fan whines his way into after they solve a case together. Everyone is manipulated by dangerously powerful eunuch Wang Zhi (Liu Yao Yuan) who is the enemy of basically everyone, except for Tang Fan, who has the political and social awareness of a rock.

An amiably pathetic man solves a variety of mysteries, from murder to complex imperial assassination plots and also this really complicated one involving diluting the purity of silver currency, and also the executive producer is Jackie Chan.

It's missing the romance subplot that I understand is in the source novel and also apparently there's an overarching plot involving a cult?! which we don't get here, but there's lots of bombs which are almost as good as a cult, maybe? (They're not.)

Divine Destiny

This is the one we're currently watching and the ride that this show is. How many plots can be crammed into one show? How many ridiculous but true things can I say about this show?

Ji Ruochen (Ma Tianyu) is an orphan who dreams of martial arts adventures. Raised by a couple who run a Crime Inn, one day a customer robbery goes very wrong when the customer turns out to be the latest incarnation of Yin Feng, the Banished God (Marius Wang). Ji Ruochen accidentally kills the Banished God and his foster parents promptly take the body into the desert and dump it down a cliff, but not before taking a necklace made from a piece of Gu Qing, the Blue Stone Goddess (Xuan Lu), which is supposed to let her recognize the Banished God in their final incarnation. Accidentally stealing the Banished God's identity, Ji Ruochen finds himself a hotly desired commodity by the cultivation sects who are all eager to have the Banished God as a disciple for prophecy reasons. He goes with Zhang Yinyin (Angelababy), a feisty, argumentative girl who has had to work extra hard because her spirit was contaminated by a demonic root planted by the evil nine-tailed fox who is poorly imprisoned in a cave anyone can access.

MEANWHILE some dudes with amazing moustaches and a penchant for laughing in delight at their own evil have found the body of the Banished God and done some questionable mystical shit to put him in a new body and nurture a grudge against Ji Ruochen for stealing his identity.

THEN Gu Qing meets Ji Ruochen and like everyone else assumes he's the Banished God and she falls in love with him (Gu Qing having been a literal rock spirit who cultivated to immortality under the guidance of the Banished God, who followed her into the mortal realm and a cycle of 100 incarnations after Gu Qing accidentally Did A Crime) but then falls in love with HIM.

ALSO Zhang Yinyin is always at risk of succumbing to the temptation of using the demonic fox power that is within her even though that will literally turn her into a demon but maybe it's worth it if a woman who is actually a goddess who is actually a rock is making eyes at the junior you brought into the sect and are in love with and you want to be more powerful than her?

ALSO what's the mysterious power that let Ji Ruochen kill the Banished God in the first place?

IS the woman seeking revenge for the death of the Banished God's mortal incarnation his sister or his cousin or his "cousin"?

WHY is the only love language of immortals stalking?

There's a homunculus and a baby snake demon who is the most precious angel in the world and so many evil dudes delighted in how evil they are and TWO GOOD AND ALIVE PARENTS and a pair of comical monks who have a special attack with a name they have to shout out every time they use it.

Oh and the imprisoned fox demon may have an ex who just hangs out on a rock in something called the Endless Ocean wearing a mask and playing go against the homunculus he made.

And there's an ancient master who lives in an ice mountain and eats memories of love.

Also some people might be secret demons.

There's some weddings.

There's a tiny woman with an ice sword who brutally murders so many dudes.

Do you like CGI birds?

Do you like giant mechanical CGI birds that are for riding purposes?

There's a desert hermit who has a son who is a giant tortoise.

So many things are going on and terrible decisions are constantly being made and it's over a week before I can watch another episode and it's driving me mad. WHAT WILL BE THE FALLOUT OF THE MOST RECENT BAD DECISIONS?

CDrama Year in Review 2023

I'm still very much a CDrama beginner--I just started watching them in the summer of 2022--but since this is the first year I got into them in earnest, I figured I might as well do a year in review a la @dangermousie (whose lists I have found incredibly helpful in deciding which CDramas I really, really need to go back and watch as part of my CDrama education--so thank you!). So, without further adieu, here is my ranking of 2023 CDramas, in order of least enjoyed to most enjoyed*.

(See also: KDrama Year in Review 2023)

*Disclaimer: *not* a measure of objective quality

10. Royal Rumours: This drama was not great? Meng Zi Yi and Jeremy Tsui were fun, but the story started out messy and got messier. For some reason I still finished it, I think because I had a lingering cold and it was all my brain could handle at the time *shrug*

9. Gone with the Rain: I actually really enjoyed this one! The pacing was inconsistent, but Zhang Nan was fun as the irreverent Mo Xi, and we love a grizzled general. Special shout to the teacher who was not actually evil, just a sad lesbian whose gf disappeared on her

8. Love You Seven Times: Intriguing concept, not a strong enough FL to carry it through. The reincarnation stuff really worked for me at first, especially in their first mortal tribulation (as people, not CGI animals), but I got tired of it pretty quickly. I admit, the gifs of Ding Yu Xi as a sexy cat demon *did* pull me back in, but not enough for me to actually finish the thing, alas

7. Destined/Chang Feng Du: Started out really strong, and then stalled out on me. I think I only got up to about episode 22 or so, after their epic desert crossing and new start in a new state--they lost all narrative momentum for me there. I stopped watching and then just...didn't start again. I do, however, remain a big Bai Jing Ting fan, and will be keeping on eye out for whatever he does next

6. Hidden Love: (Contemporary) Age gap romances are hit or miss for me, but Zhao Lu Si absolutely stole/carried the show for me in this one. Although more fun imo when the main couple are in the the will-they-won't-they phase than in the family melodrama after they get together, still the only contemporary CDrama to get me to give it a go this year--and I'm glad I did

5. My Journey to You: Featuring my favorite murder girlies Esther Yu as Yun Wei Shan and Lu Yu Xiao as Shanguan Qian! Gorgeous costumes and sets, sweeping cinematography, and plot that kept me on the edge of my seat. Full disclosure, I have not actually watched the last two episodes because I got busy and then saw weird chatter about them, so I have no comment on the allegedly weird ending

4. Till the End of the Moon: Look, I know the ending wasn't ideal, but for the majority of its run, this drama owned my entire soul. It also introduced me to Bai Lu as Li Su Su, who inspired my first actual tumblr post (that wasn't a reblog) because I was so obsessed with her. And everyone knows that Tantai Jin is the CDrama ML of the year. 10/10, no regrets at letting it take over my life (and the OST my Spotify) from April to May of this year

3. The Story of Kunning Palace: More Bai Lu is always a good thing, and she's extra fun here as the transmigrated former evil empress and totally-over-your-nonsense Xiang Xue Ning here. The reverse haremness of it all totally shows why Bai Lu is the chemistry queen, especially with the princess (Liu Xie Ning) and cranky, morally grey, would-fail-gym-class strategist Xie Wie (Zhang Ling He). So glad this drama made it out of the CDrama vault and didn't languish indefinitely in censorship hell

2. A Journey to Love: Finished this one two days ago as of this writing and am still not normal about it. Ren Ruyi (Liu Shi Shi) and Ning Yuan Zhou (Liu Yu Ning) lead an exceptionally strong ensemble cast in this wuxia that explores the complicated relationships between love, duty, loyalty, loneliness, and companionship. Ruyi and Yuan Zhou are far and away one of my fave OTPs of the year, but just as compelling are the relationships between friends/brothers/fellow assassins Yu Shisan, Yuan Lu (ugh my heart), Qian Zhou, and Sun Lang. This drama definitely has one of the strongest ensemble casts of the year. And the character growth of Yang Ying from little princess abandoned in the cold palace to who she becomes by the end will stick with me for a long time. Plus another 10/10 OST!

1. Lost You Forever S1: I'm not normally a reverse harem girl, but the longing, loss, and hard resolve portrayed to perfection by Yang Zi as Xiao Yao really did it for me here. This whole drama struck an emotional chord for me, and where TTEOTM consumed my soul, LYF took over my heart. Xiao Yao's relationships with her power hungry, overprotective cousin Cang Xuan; hot snake demon Xiang Liu/playboy archery shufu Feng Feng Bei; and perfectly devoted Tushan Jing are all equally compelling to me, and while I may know who she ends up with in the end, who I *think* she should be with changes based on who's on screen at any given time. And A'Nian, my favorite bratty princess who really just needs some strong parenting, holds a special place in my heart. I know we may never get S2, and even if we do, censorship means it probably won't be what the drama makers are capable of, but I'm so glad for this little piece of absolute perfection. And, again, a top notch OST!

Fave Drama: Lost You Forever, by just a hair over A Journey to Love. See above.

Least Fave Drama: Royal Rumours--truly why did I finish this, what was past me thinking

Biggest Disappointment: 2023 is also the year I read Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir, my very first CNovel! But then I didn't even bother checking out its adaptation, Romance of a Twin Flower, because it got rid of everything that made the novel such an addicting read, including a brilliant, strategic, ice cold FL and an ML who actually kind of sucked at the beginning, only to grow on you very, very slowly over time. I'm grateful that the chatter around the drama is what brought the novel to my attention, but other than that, hard pass.

Favorite Male Character: Lots of good ones this year, but I'm gonna go with Cang Xuan (Zhang Wan Yi) from Lost You Forever. The conflict he faces between getting enough power to protect the people he loves the most and that power making him incompatible with those loved ones is so compelling, and his yearning for Xiao Yao even when she's right in front of him is wrenching. Full disclosure, I also just really love the sound of his voice

Favorite Female Character: This could easily have gone to Li Susu (TTEOTM), Xiao Yao (LYF), or Ren Ruyi (AJTL), but I'm gonna go with Bai Lu's Xiang Xue Ning in The Story of Kunning Palace. Something I really loved about this character was just how jaded Xue Ning really was, even in her second go round at life. Yeah, she wants to make amends for the harm done in her previous rise to power, but that has hardly turned her into a good--or even pleasant--person. Instead, she's incredibly skeptical and still plays most things ice cold, especially with her family. As a bonus, we got plenty of Bai Lu's fantastic side eye as she basically had to do high school all over again when she gets called into the palace despite her very best efforts not to be.

Favorite Ship: Ren Ruyi and Yuan Zhao from A Journey to Love have got to be it. They balance each other out so well, and over the course of the drama, learn to communicate effectively with each other whenever they have a problem. They also recognize that not all problems can be solved by ~love~, which makes their relationship even more compelling when they decide to prioritize each other in a way that respects what the other wants from life.

Favorite Secondary Ship: Little princess Yang Ying and Yuan Lu absolutely broke stole my heart in A Journey to Love. Doomed love even more than the main OTP, these two's youthful romance was such much fun to watch, especially as they egged their respective mentors on in their own romance. Yang Ying's recognition that her first love did not have to be her only love is also something I always love to see, even as it broke my heart that (spoiler) she and Yuan Lu never really had a chance at an HEA. Their relationship really exemplified a key theme of this drama: that you should love the people you love while they're still with you because tomorrow is never promised.

Non-2023 Dramas that I Watched: Two non-2023 dramas I watched that deserve a special shout out are Love and Redemption and The Sword and the Brocade. Love and Redemption prepared me to really appreciate the big swings that Till the End of the Moon took, and The Sword and the Brocade went a little way to filling the Story of Ming Lan shaped hole in my heart. The Sword and the Brocade also had absolutely searing critique of the concubine system, even as it featured one of the most genuinely good-hearted FLs I've seen. Would recommend both!

Most Looking Forward To: Yes, I'm a sucker and the censors (not to mention the characters) will probably break my heart, but I'm still crossing my fingers that Lost You Forever S2 will live up to the promise of part one. See above: still a CDrama beginner, have not yet had all the optimism knocked out of me. Sue me.

WIP Wednesday

@maddenedroses tagged me for this a bit ago so here's some of the MK9 Johnny x Kung Lao fic I've been working on! <3

No sensitive content in this one! (beyond some casual alcohol consumption)

No pressure tags: @c-nan @bi-force-1 and anyone else who wants to :)

Johnny knew he should really be getting some rest at this point. It had already been well past dark by the time the first rounds of the tournament had started. Now it was even later, and Shang Tsung's announcement of the tournament resuming at dawn was still ringing in Johnny's head. He had followed Sonya to the bridge on the south side of the island, but now that he had left her to her business, he would have to trek all the way back to the main palace on the north side, where the combatants and guests had been provided rooms.

As he was walking off the bridge, however, a lone figure caught his eye — a man sitting under a tree in the lower courtyard. Johnny's curiosity got the better of him, and he found himself walking that way. The man wore a wide brimmed hat and appeared to be one of Shang Tsung's guards, judging by his clothes and the helmet on the ground next to him. As Johnny walked up behind him, he noticed a flask in his hand.

"Didn't know Shang Tsung let his guards drink on the job," Johnny said.

The man must have heard him approach. He seemed unsurprised and only partially turned his head to reply. "He doesn't."

Johnny smiled. "Alright if I join you?" he asked, already settling down next to him.

"Only if you do not mind sharing a flask," he replied, giving said flask a small shake.

"I don't mind if you don't." He held out a hand expectantly. "I don't have cooties — promise."

Johnny was able to get a good look at the man now as he handed him the bamboo flask. He had a soft, round face — grown, but clearly still young — and a dimple graced his right cheek as he smiled warmly at Johnny. His straight dark hair was short and, upon closer examination, sloppily cut, as if someone had just recently hacked at it with a knife. This did nothing to take away from the fact that Johnny found him very, very cute.

"The name's Johnny Cage, by the way," he said.

"Kung Lao."

Johnny nodded and distracted himself from staring at Cute Lao by taking a sip from the flask. It proved to be a good distraction indeed. The drink was unlike any Johnny had had before — spicy and vinegary, with just a hint of caramel.

"Woah, what is this?"

Kung Lao grinned as Johnny took another drink. "Yuanhongjiu. My Shaolin Master has always said that Earthrealm's rice wine puts Outworld's liquor to shame."

Johnny handed the flask back to Lao. "Again with the realm stuff! You sound like Raiden and his little purse dog."

Kung Lao snorted and almost choked on his drink, but then seemed to realize something.

"You know Raiden and Liu Kang?" he asked nervously.

"Yeah! I met 'em right after the last round of the tournament tonight. Came up to me and started talking about all this Earthrealm and Outworld crap. I thought it was bullshit, but… now I'm not so sure. Why do you ask?"

"No reason," he lied, "but, uh, if you happen to run into them again, I would appreciate if you did not mention our meeting here."

Johnny raised an eyebrow. "And why is that, exactly?"

Lao grimaced and rubbed the back of his neck. "I may have snuck onto the island and disguised myself as a guard without the Shaolin's knowledge… or permission."

"Wait, what? Why?"

The expression on Lao's face told Johnny that this was a sore and very familiar subject. "Liu Kang was chosen to represent the Shaolin in the tournament, but I am just as worthy of being here as he is!" He crossed his arms. "In every way we are equals, but no one can see past the fact that he is Raiden's 'Chosen One'."

Johnny laughed and plucked the flask from his hand, uncapping it. "Well, sorry to break it to you, Kung Pao, but, Liu Kang or no Liu Kang, it looks like you put all that work in just to get your ass handed to you by yours truly," he said, punctuating the statement by pointing to himself with his thumb.

"The name is Kung Lao." He scowled and snatched the rice wine back before Johnny could take a sip, his brow furrowed and nose scrunched in a way that was almost cute enough to make up for it. "And what makes you think you can beat me?"

"Um, hello?" he said. "Have you seen my movies? I do all my own stunts. I'm Johnny Cage! I'm only the best fighter in Hollywood."

"Funny." Lao smirked. "I have never heard of you."

That wiped the smile right off Johnny's face. He rose to his feet. "Alright, tough guy, you think you're such hot shit? How about we hold ourselves a little exhibition match right now?" He crossed his arms, cockiness returning. "Especially since, you know, you're technically not even in the tournament."

Lao stood to face him. He was a bit shorter than Johnny, but held his ground as if he were a foot taller. "Glady," he said. "The dojo should be empty this time of night. How about we spar there?"

"Lead the way."

Lao grabbed his things and began walking north, with Johnny trailing behind. It was only a minute or two until they reached the dojo.

As Lao entered, he slipped off the loose uniform robes he wore over his regular clothes. Johnny's eyes were drawn to the bare skin peeking out from the sides of his sleeveless shirt and the way his toned arms flexed as he put his hat on and quickly ran his finger along the metal brim.

Not one to be shown up, Johnny took off his suit jacket and hung it on the arm of a nearby mu ren zhuang. He'd been feeling overdressed for a martial arts tournament anyways.

Kung Lao went to the left side of the room, assuming a surprisingly still and steady Wing Chun stance. Johnny got into his own fighting position on the right: fists up by his sides and constantly bouncing on the balls of his feet.

Kung Lao took in the sight and smiled.

"Your stance reminds me of Liu Kang's," he said.

Johnny raised an eyebrow, but grinned back. "Does that mean I'm chosen one material?"

Kung Lao whipped off his hat and threw it at Johnny. As it flew through the air, it's path curved so that it sailed harmlessly around him. Before Johnny even had a chance to mock him, however, he was swiftly swept off his feet and slammed to the ground. Somehow, Lao had appeared behind him.

"It means I know exactly how to beat you."
