watching the mermaid ep (S1E4)

with Gui Gui cross-dressing! and aaaaaaaaaa

Gui Gui (as Young Master Gui talking about his childhood friend, Yu He, who disappeared when they were small): So are you....Yu He’s mom.

Secretary Ou:

“.....”

He Jiong and Friend Ran: ...She’s the same age as you!!!

Sa Beining: You hurt my secretary so much...After all those deductions, you’ve made her the same age as me. You...

Secretary Ou, laughing: I’m gonna flip a table!

Young Master Gui: No it’s just, since you’re a secretary, you look very composed. But...you wouldn’t be Yu He, would you?

Secretary Ou: ....Indeed.

Old cast: *fake gasp*

Young Master Gui: YU HE! Where did you go back then??

Friend Ran: Where did you go? Why did you go?

Young Master Gui: I used to like you so much since I was small!!

Secretary Ou: I liked you lots as well.

Princess Na (who is new to the game): *what just happened*

He Jiong: Wait, guys. Princess Na, you have to get used to it. All of the stories on this show are just THAT cliché. Really.

Young Master Gui and Secretary Ou confirm they like each other.

── ★ ˙ ̟ wen junhui ᝰ .

→ É um dos que finge não perceber, mas não pelos motivos já apresentados. O Jun não curte te dar reações muito exageradas ou explícitas sobre esse tipo de coisa, porque não quer que você sinta vergonha de algo que é tão natural.

→ Te observa o tempo inteiro, então sabe te ler muito bem.

→ E quando nota alguma coisa fora do normal sempre dá um jeitinho de ficar à sós contigo. Se perceber que três ou quatro beijinhos gostosos não resolveram, arruma uma forma de te levar para casa sem fazer alarde.

→ Faz questão de te pegar de jeito só 'pra garantir que vai te deixar satisfeita. Jun sabe que você só sossega quando foder ele, mas fica cansadinha demais se sentar por muito tempo.

→ Te dá um oral dos deuses, babando sua buceta inteirinha e esfregando o nariz nela sem pudor algum. Mama seus peitinhos como ninguém. Enche seu corpo todinho de beijo e mordidinha. Te coloca de quatro e soca três dedos em você até te fazer chorar. Brinca com seu outro buraquinho... honestamente acho que o Jun não deixa nada passar.

→ E só quando você estiver molinha, burrinha de tanto gozar, só aí que ele vira seu brinquedinho.

→ O homem te conhece a tempo suficiente 'pra saber que, nessa época do seu ciclo, depois do segundo orgasmo qualquer resquício de vergonha sai do seu corpo. Vira putinha, faz o que bem entende com ele.

→ Jun aprendeu a amar esse seu lado no primeiro tapa no rosto que levou enquanto te assistia sentar nele. Ele sabe que existem circunstâncias específicas que te deixam nesse estado, por isso sempre segue tudo à risca quando sente um tiquinho mais de carência da sua parte.

→ "Bate mais forte, linda. Cacete, eu vou gozar..."

── ★ ˙ ̟ kwon soonyoung (hoshi) ᝰ .

→ É a época mais feliz da vida dele. Desde que você explicou pro Soonyoung o que é um período fértil e o que acontece com você nessa fase, ele aguarda ansiosamente todos os meses.

→ O corpo de Soonyoung é basicamente mais seu do que dele a esta altura, mas isso fica bem mais explícito nessa época. Ele tá sempre pronto para te dar o que você quiser, quando e onde você quiser. Fica duro 'pra caralho com a mera menção de que você precisa da atenção dele.

→ Tem energia de sobra, então é outro Mingyu da vida. Quer foder o tempo o todo e todo o tempo, definitivamente não te deixa passando vontade.

→ De verdade, ele não sossega enquanto não te deixar chorando igual puta no pau dele. Soonie vive para te fazer feliz, se recusa a deixar o amor da vida dele insatisfeita.

→ Porém, isso é uma faca de dois gumes: você precisa colocar limite. O homem não é um sem noção, mas perde a mão muito fácil quando é o seu prazer em jogo.

→ Se dá por inteiro. Fode forte e sempre aproveita 'pra te encher de mordida e marca pelo corpo todo — pois sabe que no estado que ele te deixa você é incapaz de reclamar de alguma coisa.

→ Fica tão agitado que não sabe o que quer. O pau cheio e pesadinho te abre sem piedade, mas quando você vai ver já tem três dedos bem no fundo da sua bucetinha, enquanto Soonyoung te chupa só 'pra ver se consegue te fazer esguichar — vira quase uma bonequinha de teste.

→ Não te dá descanso e é cara de pau o suficiente de te acordar no meio da noite só 'pra transar.

→ "Ela ainda 'tá toda meladinha, amor. Deixa eu foder de novo, vai?"

── ★ ˙ ̟ xu minghao ᝰ .

→ Sabe aquele vídeo dele pedindo para uma carat implorar? Então... ele provavelmente vai fazer isso contigo. Vai usar a mesma carinha com o mesmo sorrisinho safado 'pra te fazer pedir por ele. Não vê motivos para esconder que é tudo provocação e te faz implorar mais ainda se você apontar esse fato.

→ Normalmente, Minghao já é um amante lento, paciente e sensual. Sua pressa não vai fazer nada, senão deixá-lo com mais vontade de te torturar. Ele sabe que o seu corpo já está sensível, então se aproveita disso para te sobrecarregar mais ainda com uma série de estímulos sutis e prolongados. Hao nunca passa uma chance de te fazer chorar de tesão.

→ Então pode fazer quanta birra você quiser, reclamar e praticamente suplicar pra ele te deixar gozar de uma vez. Não adianta.

→ Se ele precisar te amarrar, ele vai (na verdade, talvez até prefira assim). Usa o peso do próprio corpo contra você para te deixar quietinha e até mesmo te ameaça dizendo que se não tiver paciência e se comportar vai ter que se virar sozinha. Usa os dedos e a boquinha bonita no seu corpo inteiro e te beija devagarzinho só para te amolecer ainda mais.

→ Além disso, ele ama, repito: AMA fingir que está te comendo por cima das roupas mesmo. Prende seus bracinhos contra a cama, abre suas pernas e 'fode' gostosinho — você jura que quase consegue sentir. É um canalha de marca maior, porque te força a ficar de olhinhos abertos vendo cada uma das expressões de prazer dele. Geme baixinho, elogia sua bucetinha, fala todo grogue que vai gozar gostoso dentro dela... a atuação perfeita — tudo isso sem te tocar diretamente uma vez sequer.

→ E você genuinamente acha que vai desmaiar de tesão em algum momento (se é que isso é possível). Tão molhadinha que tem certeza de que ele consegue sentir através dos tecidos.

→ "Não faz essa carinha 'pra mim, amor. Se quer mesmo ganhar pau vai precisar pedir direitinho."

── ★ ˙ ̟ lee chan (dino) ᝰ .

→ Channie = pau-mandado.

→ No começo do relacionamento de vocês até havia certa timidez, Chan não tinha certeza de quais eram seus limites e era meio novo nessa coisa inteira de namorar.

→ O início foi meio embaraçoso, mas igualmente excitante — logo após sua primeira vez com Chan foi como viver um período fértil muito prolongado: estava o tempo inteiro com tesão. E, ainda assim, ele se sentia meio travado, especialmente quando você sugeria algo mais arriscado.

→ Mas hoje em dia? Você não precisa pedir nada mais de uma vez. Ele obedece na primeira, sempre obedece. Te vê quase como uma divindade, então te obedece igual cachorrinho, mesmo que precise se virar com as consequências depois.

→ Você tá carente e quer foder na sala de prática? Okay. Chan te puxa pro cantinho e te come ali mesmo. Nem faz questão de se despir ou de tirar tua roupa, só arrasta sua calcinha de ladinho e te fode de frente pro espelho.

→ O Seungcheol entrou? Poxa, que pena. Mas o Channie não pode parar agora, não quando a princesinha dele 'tá quase gozando, toda manhosinha. Você ficou tão necessitada o dia inteiro, mal saiu do pé do seu namorado. Ele não pode te negar isso agora.

→ E outra, o Cheol entende que vocês são jovens e cheios de energia, não é? Ele não vai julgar — é o que seu namorado pensa.

→ Por isso continua metendo gostosinho, a vozinha dengosa no seu ouvido te pedindo para fechar os olhinhos. Só seu prazer importa agora, mais nada.

→ "Shhhhh, calminha. Ele mal 'tá te vendo, amor. Goza pro seu Channie, goza."

[16:52] - xu minghao

(624 PALAVRAS)

"Amor, que tal hoje?" Minghao perguntou enquanto sentava ao seu lado na cama.

"Podemos fazer outro dia, Hao. Tenho que terminar de ler essa reportagem, aparentemente a professora vai passar um trabalho valendo metade da nota do semestre sobre o assunto." Disse ainda focada no tablet em suas mãos.

"E se, olha a proposta..." Hao viu você virar a cabeça gentilmente para ele, que no momento tentava usar sua fofura para te conquistar. "...eu posso fazer enquanto você lê, você nem vai perceber que eu tô aqui."

"Você tá tentando ser fofo?"

"Eu não tento, eu já sou. Agora, sim ou não?" Riu, vendo seu namorado te olhar com os olhos arregalados. Eram rara as vezes que Minghao agia daquela forma. Era apenas com você.

"Pode vai." Continou lendo a reportagem no aparelho.

Com sua aprovação, Minghao levantou da cama e correu até sua escrivaninha, onde pegou uma toalha pequena, alguns pincéis, tintas para pele, cola e algumas pedrinhas. Voltou para a cama e se sentou ao seu lado, estendeu a toalha e distribuiu os produtos sobre a mesma, virando para você logo após.

"Bora, tira." Mexeu no pano de sua camisa, sinalizando para você tirar logo. Deixou o tablet em seu colo e se sentou, retirando o pedaço de pano do seu corpo, ficando apenas com o sutiã cobrindo seus seios. "Tira ele também."

"Você vai pintar eles também?" Perguntou incrédula. Estavam conversando sobre aquilo tinha alguns meses, mas nunca entraram no assunto de pintar os seus seios também.

Desde que se conheceram em um museu, Minghao sempre expressou os sentimentos dele por você através da arte. A primeira carta, uma caixinha personalizada que carregava um anel feito pelas próprias mãos. E entre muita dessas coisas, durante a primeira noite de vocês juntos, Hao soltou diversas vezes, entre arfares e beijos, como seu corpo era bonito, um quadro muito bonito, na opinião dele. Foi daí que surgiu a ideia de um dia, você o deixar pintar seu torso.

Só não esperava que seus peitos estavam envolvidos nisso.

"Claro, né? Eles são parte do seu corpo, vidinha. Anda, tira logo." Rindo da pressa de Hao, você retirou a peça tranquilamente, cobrindo seus seios com um braço, evitando o olhar de seu namorado. "O que foi? Tá envergonhada?"

"Aí amor...sei lá sabe, é a primeira vez que faço isso. Que tal só a barriga? Uhm? A gente faz eles outro dia." Minghao soltou um arzinho pelo nariz, te olhando por baixo de alguns fios soltos de seu cabelo, esses que insistiam sair do rabo de cavalo que havia tentado fazer.

"Se você não se sentir confortável, podemos fazer como quiser. Só que como eu disse da última vez," Ele evitou seu olhar por alguns segundos, olhando para suas próprias mãos, mexendo no anel de compromisso no dedo anelar. "pra mim, seu corpo inteiro é uma tela, seu corpo por inteiro é lindo e sabe...eu meio que tenho um pedaço favorito. Se você puder e não se sentir confortável, não vou te forçar a nada nunca, eu gostaria de pintá-los, não só eles, mas sua barriguinha também. O que me diz?"

Pensou um pouquinho, retirando o braço que cobria seus peitos e se deitando na cama. Um sorrisinho começou a surgir no rosto de Hao.

"Espero que essa tinta saia rápido." Pegou seu tablet novamente e o ligou, voltando a ler a matéria, ainda atenta a cada movimento de Minghao.

"Elas são especialmente para a pele! Você não vai se arrepender." Hao pegou um pincel pequeno e a tinta de tom azul escuro na mão, molhou a pontinha do mesmo no líquido e começou a passar em sua pele lisinha. "E amor..."

"Uhm?"

"Eu posso tirar uma foto depois, sabe...só pra recordação?"

from this article: 10 short stories about "Formed Police unit" 📝 ( i included general facts and the ones related to Bobo )

The action blockbuster "Formed Police Unit", which brings together actors such as Huang Jingyu, Wang Yibo, Zhong Chuxi, Ou Hao and other actors, was released on May 1st this year and topped the box office in the first two days.

Before the screening, the producer Liu Weiqiang and director Li Dachao of "Formed Police Unit" shared the behind-the-scenes story of the film with the Entertainment Management Studio . During the exchange, they talked many times about the need to "shoot with care" and "correctly" when making movies today. Movies need to be awe-inspiring.”

Liu Weiqiang revealed that the film took 75 days to shoot and was 10 days overdue. The investors also fully supported it because they wanted to provide the best results for the audience. The following ten short stories let us know more about "Formed Police Unit".

ONE

The story theme of "Formed Police Unit" was proposed by director Li Dachao. In 2010 , Li Dachao saw a piece of news about a peacekeeping police officer returning to China after his death. The urn was covered with the national flag and the police standing on both sides saluted solemnly. Li Dachao was thinking about it at that time. I was moved, " At that time, I was thinking about what peacekeeping was, and later I learned that they are such a noble and selfless profession, all dedicated to contributing to the local people. "

I thought of this subject in 2010 , but the film didn't start filming until a few years ago. Li Dachao believes that timing is very important, " You see how much the world needs peace now, I think it is very important to express the spirit of peacekeeping. "

FOUR

"Formed Police Unit" is the first film starring Wang Yibo. Liu Weiqiang revealed that Wang Yibo was very cautious when accepting projects. When discussing the script, he was moved by the role of Yang Zhen.

At that time, Wang Yibo had a small worry, that is, there was a scene with teenage Yang Zhen in the movie. "He was worried that if it were played by another young actor, whether the two would be able to synchronize the performance. The little Yang Zhen we found and He looks quite similar, so he feels relieved when he sees it.”

FIVE

At the end of the film, Yang Zhen had a scene where he was beaten by an enemy. In order to guide Wang Yibo to perform the real pain, director Li Dachao said: "I pinched him before starting the movie. After pinching him, he screamed. I said this feeling was... By the way, you have to keep it real, and you have to magnify the pain of being pinched 100 times. "

SIX

The crew learned from former peacekeeping police officers who had actually participated in peacekeeping operations that when they went on missions, they would spread Chinese culture locally, teach Chinese and martial arts, and usually grow vegetables in the base where they were stationed.

The crew also built a vegetable garden on the set, and the props team was responsible for growing vegetables and watering them. There was a scene where the peacekeepers went to pick vegetables. "An interesting fact is that almost all the vegetables were dug up by Wang Yibo. He dug them too fast. I said wait, I haven't turned on the camera yet," director Li Dachao said with a smile.

SEVEN

Wang Yibo was still a newcomer to the film industry when filming "Formed Police Unit", but Liu Weiqiang's impression of him was that he was very smart, "You see, he usually doesn't make a sound, but when he does, he is very powerful. He is an observation-type actor, and a good actor is like this , observe first, and after observing, he will know which points he ne

EIGHT

The peacekeeping team in the movie is designed according to the real peacekeeping configuration, two armored vehicles + snipers + liaison officers, etc. Each character has his or her own plot mission. For example, Ou Hao plays the team leader, and he is a role model. As a police officer, he uses his lines to express the spirit of the peacekeeping police; Gu Jiacheng's character and Yang Zhen grew up together in the police station, and he played a catalyst role in Yang Zhen's growth.

The director revealed that in order to prepare the soldiers' strong bodies and performance conditions, the actors of the Peacekeeping Team spontaneously trained, ran, gained muscle, tanned, and encouraged each other before filming began. Huang Jingyu said that the first half of the movie was shot in the daytime, and in the end it was all night scenes. The action scenes were shot all night long, and it was raining. If you didn't reserve your physical strength, you wouldn't be able to persevere.

NINE

Based on the longitude and latitude, landforms, vegetation, weather and climate characteristics of the mission area in the movie, the crew found a filming location that could simulate the African environment and built an entire city, including slums, streets, squares, seaside stilt houses, etc.

The last major scene of rescuing witnesses during a stormy night had to wait for the tide to change during the actual shooting. The tide rose every four hours at that time. In order to show the harsh environment in the storm, we had to wait until the tide rose to shoot. It took 15 days to complete

You guys said yes to some CSD lore so here you go!

CSD's name means two different things, the first obviously just being my account name BUT CSD being her canon name for short. But her second meaning to her name actually refers to her three different transformations!!

C haos, this transformation is CSD'S god form! She goes into this whenever she is overwhelmed or unbelievably angry therefore when "chaos" is being created

S oul, her main design also known as her base form or the "soul" of her character

D anger. Her angry or irritated form where she turns monotone, therefore warning others she is "danger" ous..

Will probably make some more lore at some point so enjoy this part for now!!!! I'm Intrested to see if people can try and guess KNG9's name properly.. :D

My Year End C-drama Review (2023)

Part 1

.

17. Actors I newly discovered in 2023

Hong Yao, Wang Yinglu, Marcus Li, Tian Jiarui, Qin Hailu, Wang Ke

Some of these are new actors, some are already very experienced but I discovered only now. All of them provided phenomenal performances in their roles this year.

.

18. Favorite Child Actors of the Year

Wang Haoze (Ou Zimo- Be Your Own Light), Phoebe Sun Yichen (Duoduo- Stay With Me)

Child actors in C-ent always baffle me, I have zero idea how they are SO good. Impeccable performance. I want to take them home. 🥺

.

19. Feminist Cdramas of the year

Be Your Own Light, A Journey to Love

The premise of the first is about women to begin with, the second only partially. Most of the time the self-identifying feminist stories fail massively in realistic depiction of women, let alone idol dramas where the focus is elsewhere.

But these two shows really understood what women think and say, their priorities and what they want in life, how they conduct themselves....and not through the eyes of men who assume women crave xyz things only. The arcs and growths of women in these two shows felt very organic and relatable.

(I hear there were few other such dramas this year as well, eg: Faithful. But this is all I managed to watch huhu)

.

20. A drama that let me down

Destined

The chemistry of the real-life pair Bai Jingting and Song Yi was adorable, but the story just wasn't my cup of tea.

I absolutely loved their spacious bedroom tho!

.

21. Favorite BGM

Be Your Own Light- I Only Wish to Face the Light by Liu Yuning

Stay with Me- Stars Shine by Zhang Jiongmin, Xu Bin

I Am Nobody- Sea of Time by Zhou Shen

Young Blood 2- Lending a Ray of Light by WineQ (圈9)

Romance On the Farm- Letters from Spring by Su Yunying

Silence of the Monster- Cross a City Just to See You by Huang Yi

.

22. Favorite wardrobes

Sui Yi (Sun Yihan)'s wardrobe in Silence of the Monster and Pang Hongmei (Peng Xiaoran)'s fits in Unshakable Faith

Oh they looked so delightfully vintage and exactly my style! 😍

.

23. Best Breakups

Moxi and Jiagui (Gone With the Rain), Xiangyi and Wanmian (Mysterious Lotus Casebook)

I HAD to include this category simply because of these two pairs. I LOVED those two scenes. So mature! Such thorough discussion about how their feelings have changed over time, the frank admission that there are indeed some remnants left (because contrary to popular depiction, feelings don't POOF overnight), how they'd always consider the other as a special someone that they were lucky to have met in their lives, the wish to remain as tight friends in the future as well.... 🤌🤌🤌👏👏👏

.

24. Worst character designs

Road Home

Gods know I only sat through this for Jing Boran in army gear and snow. The characters were so mind-blowingly flat despite the actors giving their best to "understand" their roles and make them relatable but there was only so much they could do. All the interpersonal relationships happened just because the writer said so. There was a child character who was passed from hand to hand for whenever the writer wanted a "warm childcaring and family moment" but was discarded without a glance the next second, I got second-hand abandonment issues from watching that lonely kid. I did not understand why anyone was doing anything at any given moment.

.

25. Most convincing villains aka characters I loved to hate

Yuan Hao (Young Blood 2)- Gotta be one of the most dangerous villains I have ever seen. He was insanely smart, unpredictable and cunning AND strong, and it took all the heroes of the story to defeat him and still it was barely enough. He was so well written and portrayed, till the very end of the show the viewers weren't sure of the outcome of the battle.

Jiao Liqiao (Mysterious Lotus Casebook)- AHH Jiao jie! We all love a good unhinged female villain who isn't uwufied in the name of some weird "women should always be portrayed with tearjerking backstory" notion. Let her go crazy all over the place, we support women's wrongs as well as rights! She always meant what she said and did what she meant and it was terrifying to see.

.

26. Favorite murder kittens of the year

Gong Yuanzhi (My Journey to You), Li Tongguang (A Journey to Love)

Oh these two bois were VERY disturbing individuals and I wouldn't go within 1 mile radius around them but were them such delightful affection starved meow meows with killer (ha!) hair and eye acting? Heck yes.

.

27. A drama that I wished was longer

Romance On the Farm

I really appreciate how 3D and empathetically portrayed all the family members are. We are shown all their sides and what made them what they are today without making a mockery of Asian family values, but rather constructively analysing + celebrating the good parts.

And then there is a political thriller story arc.

And then there is "this is all but a game" part which I had to try very hard to pretend like it's ignorable.

And then there was the basic premiere of the pastoral country life story.

Clearly the dramamakers had LOTS of ideas. And you can see none of them were empty bite-more-than-can-chews but had actual potential.

If only.... it didn't try to do all this at once under the guise of a 26 ep lighthearted fluffy romcom genre.... it would've made such a difference.

.

28. A drama I wanted to watch but couldn't

SO many! For all sorts of reasons.

Ray of Light, Butterflied Lover, The Road to Ordinary, Pledge of Allegiance, Where Dreams Begin, There Will Be Ample Time, Faithful, Stand By Me

ARGH!😭

.

29. A drama I wish more people watched

Stay With Me

This is a Chinese BL, with Chinese cast, Chinese locations, but produced by a TW company. That's all I'm going to say about it, give it a try. You won't regret it. (Maybe don't watch last episode tho lol)

.

30. Most favorite Cdrama of 2023

Mysterious Lotus Casebook

Why? Because... well if you are in the fandom you'd know, if you aren't... I can write ESSAYS about it so I won't 😂 In short, it was such a healing watch.

.

31. A Cdrama I'm excited to see in 2024

JOL 2. Obviously.

.

Conclusion

2023 served to solidify my belief that there's really no 'perfect' drama, what I can do is listening to the stories people have to share and then take what I want from them, and leave what I don't want behind. Some may resonate more with me, some less. Some may teach me new things, some may feel redundant. Sometimes you will enjoy only 50% of a drama and hate the rest, but that won't diminish the impact that 50% had on you. It could be a totally different experience for another viewer and that's fine. I watched all the DMBJ shows this year as well (but didn't speak about them in this list since my focus was on 2023) and it really was an exercise on not being overly critical and going with the flow or you would totally miss out on all the good things DMBJ had to bring.

Overall I enjoyed 2023 Cdramaland a lot. I hope this review helped some of you to try out dramas that you didn't know existed/were hesitant to press play or continue on!
