#Sunday Reflections:😆

So I'm gonna chatter for a while here coz this is kinda the only time I could before the week starts again (actually will be dashing off later coz we have a school performance to supervise --yes, even on a Sunday😅 anyway the kids have a short break while the sports competitions are going on😅)

I'm still not too sure cdramas are going to pull off the lessened episodes deal especially for xianxias... the charm of cdramas for me is their world-building, which doesn't only happen in one episode, but throughout. I enjoy the world the dramas revolve in as much as I do its main storyline. Cdramas are so much more than their plotline, and I feel that part of the less episode deal was a pressure to match kdramas in global popularity, aside from keeping greed in check. Cdramas really aren't built for those with short patience, and nowadays people really aren't patient enough (or is it the world not allowing us to?🤔) to sit through a lengthy drama, even as shortened as 30 something.

I had been intimidated by cdramas before, precisely because of the episode number, but only now do I appreciate why they had to be that way.

**PS. 😅
So I was thinking about what I said about DW getting better...? I wanna edit/add more to that as "He was given more to play with in his character as Su Yishui and he played excellently"
SYS is a rainbow (? I can't find words to describe him😅 he's not profound, coz he's not that wise or deep) character for me, and DW played him really interestingly.

**this is such a Deng Wei appreciation post🤣🤣🤣🤣 apologies if I'm overdoing it🤣

Hmmm... for me it was pretty ok, it had the usual tropes of master sacrifices for disciple, disciple pays her back, there's a love square with obsessive 2ML and 2FL, immorons are there (but they get better later😅) someone forgets someone, and the heroes save the world.🤣 (wait, did u ask for a summary? I overdid it🤣)
While the first eps were pretty good enough to hold my interest, it was only in the late 20s that the story started getting interesting for me. It isn't as impactful as TBL or MM, but the ending is the best.😆😍

.....but you know very well I was there for Deng Wei🤣 He's gotten better since TTEOTM (sorry, haven't really gotten around watching LYF so I can't tell how he had been) but he's absolutely dashing to watch as well😅 He did give off TTJ vibes, and what CJM would have gone through if the immortal arc wasn't rushed😟 his character there was a seesaw between good and bad, and he played both convincingly well. I absolutely loved his petty era😆He isn't as nuanced as Xixi was in playing TTJ/MY/CJM, but he did good in differentiating Su Yishui's different mindsets.

......and that's the end of my TED talk.😅🤣 I've said too much, haven't I?😆😅 Did I even answer your question?🤣

HAHA I don't care what they say anymore😆 I'm still gonna comment whatever here🤣 This is Moonbase, home of drama watchers who have bonded because of TTEOTM🏕🌙

yeah! wait, I think? HAHAHA is it 🤵‍♂️👰‍♂️?? 😅

I'm amused at the unintentional Marvel references in this drama tho🤣 First Groot came into the picture (RR's Soul splitting with the divine tree twig was cute), and even here at the ending, what the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was happening?🤣🤣🤣 Even Senior Disciple Bai and Mr. Zeng had an Iron Man thing going on with their ability to work on mechanical stuff😆

nope. I like petty SYS so much, I kinda wanted him back😆

I knew WJ was gonna ask MQG to sleep with him if SYS wasn't🤣 Xiao Shui was sooo funny in his jealous mode.....and the shocked realization he made WJ throw XRR's quilt was priceless🤣🙈🙉🙊

ikr!🤣 that was a missed opportunity!😆

as he should!🤣 he prepared well too🤣🤣🤣 preventing himself from being knocked out on his wedding night, man's prepared well indeed🤣🤣🤣

ikr. what a relief! though I was still on the edge of my seat waiting for some last-minute disaster to happen😅 I'm such a sucker for tragedy😆 good thing it ended nicely and I can now sleep peacefully🤣
(4 children is a bit much tho😆)

2025 cdramas are doing great so far! They're starting to break expectations and tropes, first with TBL having its FL being assertive (and successfully seductive😅) with her love, but being highly independent and at par with her ML, then MM with the vibrant visuals and an equal emphasis on side characters (Mu Jiu, Ling Long, and Rong Xian broke me more than Bai Shuo and Fan Yue😭) and now with a refreshing master-disciple dynamic in LOTDT (really well done of Deng Wei for his first main starrer🥳 -correct me if I'm wrong).

So what's next?😄

#Sleep-Deprived_Elder checking in...

Just checked out of Weiwei's drama, and I'm feeling jealous for TTEOTM...again😅😭 LOTDT ending was the best and most satisfying ending I've ever watched, and my heart hurts again for the ending that should have been😭

What a satisfying ending!❤ For the first time ever in my history of xianxia watching, the ending wasn't rushed, like everything resolves themselves with 5 minutes to go🤣 I love it!❤

Come on, finish it already!!! 😆 I'm also starting only at 37 now and intending to binge deep into the night.

Hahaha you didn't find Xiao Lin in black sexy and dangerous?😍

I also used to skip Wei Jiu and Tu Jiuyuan's back and forth romance, but it's quite a relief now from watching SYS and XRR battling it out.

After disliking XRR initially for being immature, I'm suddenly saddened to see her slowly become MQG with her memories coming back. Ranran grew on me🥺 But yeah, MQG's wisdom is sorely needed especially with SYS turning demonic, so can't wait to see XRR with MQG's experience, and MQG with XRR's positivity and cheerfulness.

I wanted to check when the next eps will drop😅 but the curiosity to know if we've reached 130k is stronger🤣🤣🤣

I was about to, and then I changed lanes and checked in here first😆
