@liztai I wonder why this drama hasn't been made available on international platforms? Perhaps they don't think it will attract an international audience? But it has good actors and if it works as propaganda, why not? It might turn up on Viki at some point...

Here are the three most buzzy iQiyi dramas of 2023 🌸 I liked them all in different ways. If I had to choose, then I think "Mysterious Lotus Casebook" is the best.

@liztai I decided not even to try both those Sword and Fairy dramas 😄

Had a hard time deciding what to watch. Had thought I wanted to watch one of the two Sword + Fairy dramas, but they don't appeal. Thought I might re-watch Guardian, but it is so different from the book, I prefer not to muddle my brain. I still have a sense that some big dramas will drop soon so ... I decided on a light, fluffy drama,"Golden House Hidden Love" 🌸 Looks like a cute, ghost-human love story with an adorable height difference.

@liztai I watched this quite a while ago and remember it as sweet and fun. Alan Feng is also in "Jiu Liu Overlord" with Bai Lu and Leon Lai. It is not a deep drama, but I really liked the dynamic between the main couple. Alan Feng was the second male lead.

@liztai That sounds a little immature on both sides. It's odd how some dramas evoke such tribalism. I like the dramas but don't understand why it is a problem that others don't.

@liztai Makes sense, though. An emotional reaction and a defence mechanism.

@liztai That sounds like a quite tricky job. I will definitely follow your advice and not venture into those shark-infested waters. Glad that someone is willing to take the flak, though. It makes such spaces safer for the users.

@liztai Quite a ratiional decision! I watch the dramas but ignore the crazies in the comment sections. Mysterious Lotus Casebook is another drama that we agree on ...

@liztai Wow, you are brave to wade into such battles 😄 I find such behaviour quite narrow-minded but simply shrug my shoulders and move on. Such behaviour is irrational so seldom responsive to logical argumentation.

@liztai Best to avoid becoming a target 😄 Sometimes I scan the comment section for rational points otherwise I stay away, too!

Am now watching episode 13 of "Under the Skin" 🌸 The scene where Shen Yi releases the butterflies is visually stunning and is laden with symbolism. The case was a heavy one about gang rape and abuse but the girl was symbolically set free with those butterflies 🦋

@geraineon You are right that it is precisely the concept of the drama that makes it good. It is a tough watch so I'm not binge-watching. I began watching it, because it was recommended to me. I missed it when it was first broadcast.

@liztai Totally agree, it is interesting to meet people with different takes on dramas. I like the three dramas that you mention, but I have immense respect for your opinion even though we don't always enjoy the same dramas. Different people look for different things in dramas so it is not strange that we disagree on preferences. It is a mystery to me why some people get worked up when others don't like the same things as they do...

@liztai Glad to have you as my friend on MyDramaList 😄 I use it as an external memory of the dramas that I have watched, because it is easy to lose track of them. The ratings can be a little odd and some people have strange behaviour in the comment section, but I don't have to listen to them if they are being anti-social or behaving like anti-fans 🤣

Am just watching episode 5 of "Under the Skin" 🌸 I usually don't really watch crime shows but this one is working for me. Besides the central relationship between the policeman and the forensic artist, the crime stories have underlying themes and the reveals are surprising. The one in episode 5 is definitely unexpected.

Just finished reading volume 6 of "Heaven Official's Blessing" 🌸 I am deliberately trying to read more because my attention span had been shortened by too much digital reading. The key to reading more for leisure is to read books that cannot be used in teaching 😄
Arc 3 was lovely since the relationship between Xie Lian and Hua Cheng grows and is confirmed. Arc 4 was sad and had many unexpected moments. It filled in the backstory for the earlier books, though.
