The only time Cameron was ever truly close to perfection was with "The Terminator" (1984). In most other things, there were always aspects that let him down.
For me, I’m a fan of Thai original of A little thing called first love so I was interested when Chinese version…
Ok. I'm sold. SBM will be my next drama. I'll watch it right after ALTCFL. I actually prefer serious dramas (Example: The Knockout). I just like variety, too. Occasionally I get cravings for a good bit of fluff 😁.

No, I haven't seen SBM yet. I'm in a stand-down period from costume dramas until Yuxi and Ancy's new drama airs possibly on August 8th. I need time to recover from KTTPH. So, it's provided me with a window to fill with different types of dramas. I decided to knock off a couple more Mai Mai dramas. ALTCFL was the perfect change of pace from KTTPH, and I've already completed 14 episodes. There's a real chance I'll finish it this week. I was planning to watch "Brilliant Girls" next, but I could always slot "Stand by Me" into that spot instead. Would you recommend SBM as a Jinmai must-watch over BG?
However, you are perfectly entitled to feel how you feel. Even if goes against the grain. I don't particularly like the film "Titanic" (1997). Certainly not in the way most others do.
❤️Ai Mi's KTTPH farewell, and tribute to Xie Jiayu ❤️...

~ "Xie Jiayu, it's like seeing you in person.
It was a pleasure and an honor to accompany you on this journey.
I learned how to become you before filming began, gradually grew closer to you during filming, missed you after filming wrapped, and reminisced about our shared moments when the show aired.
Thank you for your hard work, Jiayu. Those moments of forced growth, those nights of secret regret and remorse, those moments of being misunderstood—but I know you're not someone who cares about what others think.
You were born to be free. Those ingenious Mohist mechanisms shouldn't be belittled as "ingenious tricks." Being forced to be a pawn at the beginning must have been very unfair, right? Fortunately, later, you showed your own brilliance. You transformed from a pawn into a leader who could control your own destiny, and even the red dress you wore changed from girlish sentimentality to a blood-stained badge of honor.
Your resolute decision to use the secret manual to save the lives of the Xiao family was truly admirable.
Even when your abilities weren't as strong, you always had the kindness to think of others.
Jiayu, you are wonderful. You are kind yet not weak, resilient yet not indifferent. You see through everything, have traveled the world, yet still retain your inner purity.
So-called "fate" is nothing but a shackle. You proved that a woman's fate is not determined by "destiny," but by her every choice—you chose to use your mechanical skills to save the people, to protect the land with your own strength.
Words are insufficient to express my deep affection. May you never again be anyone's pawn, but only Xie Jiayu, who can create fire caltrops, scale walls with light-footed skills, and paint the future. May the peaceful and prosperous world you and Xiao Wuyi create be filled with the scenery you desire.
Jiayu, you are wonderful.
"Though the swan has ambition, the sparrow also has backbone." I don't envy how exquisite your mechanical skills are; what I envy most is that after experiencing so much scheming and betrayal, your eyes still hold a sincere light.
From now on, the sky is high and the sea is wide. You will be that "Jiayu" no longer confined to a pond, swimming forward without a care. The mountains and rivers behind you are safe and sound, your beloved will always be by your side, your hands will be wielded with ever-changing skills, and your heart will never be free." ~
The first drama I watched of hers was ALTCFL and I watched thay because I liked the ml since he was in wanna one.…
I think my first Jinmai drama was "Reborn" (2020) with National First-Class actor Zhang Yi. It really set the tone and I knew I had to see more of her. Then, of course, you watch "Reset" and you're a fan for life. There's just something about "Reset." 😄
For me, I’m a fan of Thai original of A little thing called first love so I was interested when Chinese version…
I can't decide between "Reset" or "Drifting Away" which is my favourite performance. She out did herself in both.
SOM is currently my favourite Jinmai charmer. Where she dazzles the audience with her charisma.
TBG is my guilty pleasure. A lot of people didn't like it, but I found it unique and enjoyable. However, ALTCFL is going to give TBG a run for its money in this department.
And I stand by the claim that Wu Lei was by far her best off-screen chemistry.
I’m on episode 23, and I can feel the chemistry between them, which I like. I also like both of the main leads.…
The concept is essentially that within them beats the same pure heart. Xiao Wuyi had been misunderstood his whole life, including by the FL in the beginning who thought him a monster. She eventually sees the pure heart beneath his armour, they fall in love, and form an unbreakable bond. The scene on horseback where Xie Jiayu ties the ribbon blindfold around Xiao Wuyi's eyes 🎀 is a symbolic representation of their two hearts beating as one connection.
17 is the first really special moment. She doesn't confess (he does). But her eyes and change in demeanour say…
Beautiful old school romance. No passionate kisses or heavy-handed physicality. Deep connection (soulmate style) romance delivered via meticulously crafted scenes and superb acting.
Personally, it's some of the best on-screen chemistry I've seen in a long time. The actors have to be perfectly in sync to execute an atmosphere of deep affection and convince the audience in a restrained capacity. KTTPH is easily one of the best depictions of deep love and connection I've seen. No wasted scenes, they make every little moment count.
You can watch safely and enjoy. It really is quite a deeply moving experience.
No idea what this is in relation to (perhaps a bts vlog). I just know the aesthetics are 🔥. He's an action star waiting to happen 💪👊... https://weibo.com/detail/5325276613183380
I'm curious 🤔 and have a general question... What Jinmai dramas and movies have you watched?
I'll go first (Random order) ...

Around what episode does the FL start showing interest in the ML? 14 episodes have passed already, and she’s…
17 is the first really special moment. She doesn't confess (he does). But her eyes and change in demeanour say it all. 19 will be the next big milestone. Enjoy 😊.
