@liztai I so loooooove this season! A symphony of ideas and feels and visuals! This franchise has got me utterly addicted- now for S3!!!!

#Argentina’s court orders the #Milei government to distribute held-up food aid to those in need - half the country’s population is now in need of soup kitchens

@liztai It is odd how some of the critics of S2 is that it has less action & comedy than S1 so it is more boring.

I find the tension esp around the emperor palpable! He is terrifying in his inscrutability and every word matters in the dialogue. It is so layered!

So frustrated that I can’t binge more than two a day but find even two has a lot to chew on and think through.

Btw Really loving the beautiful indoor staging this season - the decor budget must’ve been S+ huge!

@liztai @Sollenbum LIZ!!!! Dish!!!

@liztai @Sollenbum Waiting for him to appear in cameo on S2

@Sollenbum one of my fave characters - esp as the story unfolds and you learn more about him. Wuxia version of Star Trek’s Data?!

@Sollenbum Awwwww!!! I so remember how excited we were as kids when the spaniel on our street had a big litter and we got to pick one and bring it home! We spent soooo long getting her bed ready and thinking up the perfect name! Loooved that dog!!!

@liztai OMG adorbs!!!

#Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signs a bill that strikes words ‘climate change’ from all state law

@liztai Yes! 2022

@liztai fyi be warned - I now know why the low ranking - it has a graphic section assault scene midway thru.

@liztai whaaa?!! There are TWO?!!! LYN Heroes Fest!!! 2024 is not on Viki yet but will look for it!

Btw - so far Baron is truly rocking the red hanfu and sword work in 2022! The man can glower!

Any #cdrama fans watched wuxia ‘Heroes’ (2022)? Thoughts?

Viki is streaming it. Noticed it has my crush Liu Yu Ning AND Joseph Zeng in it. Plus Baron Chen as villain.

Director is same as the beautiful Farewell My Princess.

Based on a novel by Woon Swee Oan, the Hong Kong-based Malaysian Chinese poet and writer who also inspired series & film, The Four. The novel is about the nature of heroes.

Looks good but My Drama only gave it 7.9/10!

Ok #cdrama fans… Which series would you nominate for most beautiful cinematography?

For historicals: I nominate

The Longest Day in Chang’am,
Riyu’s Royal Love in the Palace,
The Story of Yanxi Palace and
Rise of Phoenixes

They were spectacular.

@liztai Lin was amazing! Who dares to besmirch that carefully controlled and cerebral performance - such a pro. Amazed how he can communicate wry impishness with just a flick of an eye...
