I'm SUPER PROUD OF YOOOOUUUUUU!!!!! 加油! Yeeah, I've got a bazillion apps and i listen to chinese all day and all night cuz i just let dramas run. HelloChinese was me. Also LINE dictionary and Yabla (saving grace...it has such a SMART search engine)

I'm glad you have no cure, I am to be you!

Sigh, it's been a while my fellow Suibians. My heart was breaking so i needed to take a break from the fandom. But how are you all? I'll be checking in here and these actors other dramas on MDL just to stay active. I have to say: this has been VERY strange for me. I was literally hurting. These boys really have a special kind of power and I've worked in showbusiness and am a fan and appreciator of many creative works...so this has been a very odd experience. Either way, I'm saying hello and how are you all liking Joy of Life. <.< I'm still waiting to see wolves, dangit, LOL.

WHAT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! but but. see it's already happening :( I'm so sad. but i feel that firewall pain. Love always and pop in on your phone if you can :)

It's Shot so freaking well!!! ok It's on the Tencent/WeTV app but funny enough i didn't see it on the Iqiyi app. however...it's locked behind a VIP wall on Tencent. if my app isn't lying to me.

How is that going by the way?

I'm slow yup downloaded and watching! thanks

Good PSA!

Yeah i've read that across Weibo really. Look these other dramas NEEEEEEEDDDD to cash in on this. Joy of life where you at? His HIGHNESS the WOLF...yo!!! y'all slackin'!

yeah try...include dancing it helps the taste XD

Aww, He's a dollbaby. Also i know what i'm having for lunch like no joke!

Shi shi ni. (I know what you meant here.) but the pinyin for this is Xie Xie, Ni. Unless you actually wanted to say Yes Yes, You. Or Lion Lion, You. Or Is Is, You. Or Ten Ten, You LOL i'm pickin'. Also I hate i can't do tone markers on this keyboard easily. There's a famous poem, speaking about the homophones point Chinese DramaFan brought up and since you used the word Shi, Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jtiw721RAg One's to look out for: Bi, De, Shi, Li...

I prefer the trad characters they teach me culture which expands the meaning behind the words i choose to use rather just speaking a language i learned...knowing the history helps me absorb the meaning thus being able to communicate what i REALLY feel. I agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY with everything you've conveyed here I'm late to the language party but yeah. All of this is great insight to impart. Especially the "grammar" part. I noticed something when learning. Because Mandarin is soooo tonal (actually sometimes you can drop the tones on really common phrases and still be understood) but it's so tonal that you can tell if you've said something wrong or put a word in the "wrong" place..because it just doesn't "sing" the same. Just doesn't "sound" right. And for the lack of ability to immerse yourself....i keep a running playlist of Chinese vids going all day at work. Lifestyle stuff, cosplayers, food/cooking, news and just general stuff with alot of speaking. It helps to familiarize yourself with how the language functions in everyday life a bit.

Naaaaah, i watch and rewatch. i have my faves i just put on when i feel like laughing my head off. EarlHatter's among the better crack-makers.

I like your channel name since i really hope after all these years Cdramas gain as much ground as Kdramas have in the west.

Lord have mercy i thought it was Just me....I'm milling about like. Wh-what--do I do?

yeah whatcha got?

OMG stop it...stop it!! Y'all are BAD today! stop! My poor virginal eyes and NOSE cannot take it!! :P but Sheeeeeeeit the way he daddy'd up them steps of the Nie Brothers Palace at 2:40 of this vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD4DUyPFI_I I got up OUTTA my Bed (that happened alot during me watching the eps premeire) and was like "PLEASE SOMEONE!! GOUGE OUT MY EYES!!! I WILL NEVER SEE A SIGHT SO ASTRONOMICALLY PHENOMENAL AS THIS!!!" :fallsintopoolofownamazment:
