So many great #cdrama this year, Now juggling five series across iQIYI, WeTV, Viki & Netflix. Apparently my type is “Available tomorrow” 😳 #TheLamentofAutumn #WhereTheMaskEnds #SpringoftheBlade #AgainsttheCurrent #TheRoadtoSplendo

Suspect we’d see the same drop in One Nation’s activity

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

Ahhh! #AgainstTheCurrent is the #CDrama version of #TheHandmaidsTale Abused maids, plans for the master to impregnate them to cover for the wife, and women having absolutely no agency

Disappointed in the #TheEarlySpring ending. Very fast final get together and felt like she was trapped into it. Where was her whole hearted happy turn around? Maybe that’s what was lost with the cut episodes

Ahhh caught up with the latest #TheEarlySpring 😩 Do I suffer through an episode a night as they drop… or manage to to hold off and binge the run to the finale?? #LoveofNirvana needs to be more engaging to buffer for the next 4 days! 😂 #CDrama

Yes LibChengyi is scum, so is Gu Jian, Xiao Feng deserves so much better. Amazing how a bit of amnesia gives the watcher the break to keep watching… even when you know it’s a tragedy. Yeah I’m hooked, even with the weird staging and fashions #GoodbyeMyPrincess #cdrama

Into the last 3 episodes… the men have not redeemed themselves. Though ChatGPT has been a great sounding board for my disgust with them. Though so many of the female relationships were fantastic. Loved all 3 princesses as friends.

🤮 the emperor getting his old mates daughter preggers and wanting to make her his wife. I’m kind of wishing this whole dynasty and empire would implode or get over run by Danchi warriors #GoodbyeMyPrincess

So over random people posting requests for #CDrama recommendations. Just use ChatGPT people! Feed it your MDL ratings, favourites, drops & rage-quits and ask. The recommendations are strikingly good! Found awesome classics I’d never have started. Seriously, get ChattyG to plan your watch list!

ChattyG’s verdict on what I should watch after #GoodbyeMyPrincess: 🥇 #LoveofNirvana — dangerous, intelligent, morally-grey ML, strong FL, slow-burn romance, revenge & BIG politics, not harem squabbling. Predicted rating: 8.5–9/10 My type: “Give me Xie Wei, but let the woman have agency.” 😂 #CDrama

Just finished #BlossomsofPower should have had everything going for it court politics/harem drama but no chemistry no angst… a bit disappointed. For angst the recommendation is to go with #goodbyemyprincess Let’s see…

Oh no, the sets are getting to me. Poor editing… could see the steel beams of the studio shed in one scene, line markings on props 😳 Though at least the extras look to be riding their own horses. ChatGPTs strong recommendation so I’ll stick with it a bit longer #cdrama

#Overdo feels like the backstory to #LiveBetweentheLines with the trains in the snow. Trying to work out the dynamics of the Warlord era in China… interesting period #CDrama

#theeternalfragrance is frustrating… story jumps and missing scenes. “You again” to a black bird not seen in the story so far?? 🤷‍♀️ don’t know if I should stay with it, especially with #KeytothePhoenixHeart on the horizon #cdrama

ChatGPT knows my #Cdrama taste better than I do! Punched in my watched, dropped, and on-hold list, with ratings, and got great recommendations which I’d never have discovered. Seriously better than randoms on the internet for recommendations

Perfect timing… just finished #TheRiseofPhoenixes to kick into a fully released #PursuitofJade 🥳 Bring on the binge

#BREAKING 🚨 US president Donald Trump says military strikes against Iran will be postponed for five days "subject to the success of ongoing meetings and discussions"

Wow! I know the majority of Americans are compassionate, decent people who would be appalled and sickened by such actions in their name… but can they collectively stop it with their national culture of individuality?

Every American needs to watch this:

Why the US won’t be able to step back into ‘trusted ally’ after Trump

The Australia Institute@australiainstitute.org.au

MAGA is becoming more "battle-hardened" & less likely to disappear once Trump leaves office (whenever that may be). Don Watson joins @emmashortis.bsky.social to discuss the opposition to Trump & why Australia can’t avoid the rupture being brought about by the MAGA movement. 🎧 theaus.in/4afwmA3

Starting #TheUntamed with hubby. He got through his 1st #cdrama #TheImmortalAscension even though I would have dropped it… very flat ending… so going to see if The Untamed lives up to the hype… he went to bed halfway through ep1 🤷‍♀️

Just finished #ShadowLove, which was a fast hit after #WhenDestinyBringsTheDemon (2025 #1) feeling a bit lost, not to motivated to go back to #TheImmortalAscension 🥱 So going to try and pick up #Destiny… it’s always a come down after the great ones. Need #WhenDestinyBringsTheDemon S2 #Cdrama

WARNER: Can you explain how it helps natl security or our trade balance - I loved your fancy Greek formula which was bad math on steroids - how with a trade surplus Australia got hit with a 10% tariff as well? GREER: Australia has the lowest rate available WARNER: We have a trade surplus!

Just watching the news on the flooding in Lismore, NSW and the Mayor’s comments about seeing Army trucks ‘when you see these vehicles you are filled with confidence and thanks’. Just thinking how many nations where this would not be the case.
