I was thinking about starting it but I think I need something with more comedy!!! Reccos please!! My fav combination is : Historical (of course!)+romance+comedy. 

"Yummy Yummy Yummy" looks like an interesting historical romcom, but I haven't watched it yet.

I plan to start this one too! 😊

Nice! I'm starting EP 5 sometime today. I like that the eps aren't too long.

I watched the first two and loved them both! Hilarious! The Matchmakers was okay. I didn't particularly enjoy it, but then I was distracted by Rowoon's good looks :D

This one is on my radar! Specially since I loved the actress in I Am Nobody. And it stars one of my favourite comic actors as her brother! Expecting really good humour!

Hello!  Fight for Love starring Victoria Song and Ding Yu Xi just aired and it looks interesting.

Ding Yu Xi is a good actor, Song Qian is pretty as always, oh there's also Chen Qiao En (haven't seen her since The Double). Looks promising. But I better wait for the douban rating, just in case.

I'm halfway through Love in the Clouds. Other than some torture scenes it's been entertaining and no slow boring parts. I really like the main couple a lot. So much romance packed into almost every episode!

Oooh, I'll check it out, even though I'm not finished with two other historical shows.

I'm on a roller coaster. 💀

Oh my gosh. EP 23 of Love in the Clouds has probably one of the most romantic love scenes I've ever seen but then also heartbreaks too. Now I'm going to be up all night binge watching.

After Fated Hearts, I was looking for another Chen Zhe Yuan drama and decided to watch Dark Night and Dawn. His character here, Lin Shao Bai, is somewhat similar but also very different from Fated Heart's Feng Sui Ge. I'm impressed with his acting in both dramas! They show his range as an actor. I'm checking out his other dramas, and I might even resume watching The White Olive Tree, where I got stuck at episode 8. 

Right now, I'm watching Eternal Joy with You. It's a mini drama starring He Xuan Lin and Yan Zi Xian. I'm on ep 4 and so far it's interesing and fun to watch 😊.

I finished Love in the Clouds. Man, it's a challenge to watch 36 eps even when I'm enjoying it! It was a great story and I love the two leads together.

I only wish there wasn't so much vomiting of blood. Like it happened a lot. 💀

Yes, still good, and like most short dramas, the pacing is fast and the transitions are quick, so less time is spent building up characters and plot, unlike in full length dramas. But it's still fun to watch 😊. I'm on episode 19, so 5 more episodes left. I did not get the WeTV express package and the other streaming site that I go to as backup also do not have all episodes yet. So will wait for the remaining episodes to be available. 

Right now, I'm excited for Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 3, which will start airing today in iQIYI! 🥰

Ah, there's double 11 (until 21/11) 45% discount for both iQIYI annual standard vip and annual premium vip. I dropped every costume drama I watched in the last few months (the last normal length costume drama I completed was Yang Yang's The Immortal Ascension), but there's a total of 25+ iQIYI upcoming dramas, 25+ iQIYI completed dramas, and 85+ iQIYI vertical dramas I ptw so I renewed it, the standard one.

Nowadays I'm watching Eyes of Heaven, but I'm waiting for the translator to upload the last 4 episodes. Been watching it for around 2 months.

Set during WWII, FL is the main villain in the drama. Petty, bitter, ungrateful, cruel, ambitious, manipulating; she's like a devil incarnation, incubus. SFL's name is Orn which definition is 'eyes of heaven' making the title. She's kind but not stupid, forgiving but not cowardice, a princess that's elegant and diligent. SFL in FL's opinion is her biggest rival and the one she wanted to become. To win over everyone, she can do anything. In fact she just want to be loved by everyone just like SFL, especially by ML (her first love and SFL's childhood sweetheart and fiancee). My blood pressure increased everytime I watched a new episode especially since she practically causing 4 deaths (including her adopted mother and the youngest sister of ML who loves her so much) and 1 injured, but I love it so much. I want to see what kind of punishment she'll receive in the end, though on episode 1 it's opened with FL pointing a gun in ML and FL's wedding, asking why won't ML marry her, is it because she poor and not a royal and so on. Very interesting.

Has completed Eyes of Heaven. This Thai lakorn is sooo good. Love it so much. I never hate the FL so much since Ashes of Love. Though there's always a background story for every villain, just like in this lakorn, there's a background story that caused FL to become the villain. Full of characters with lovesickness and love-hate relationship between those characters, the plot revolves around FL and all the people she hurts in the process to win over SFL to get ML's love. But just like most fictional stories, the good will always triumph over evil in the end. That's a relief.
