Yeah I was looking at your watchlist and was surprised you didn't give any drama 10, including FoF lol! I would say this is my fav alongside TU like none can beat those two LOL!
Another thing I forgot to talk about. I COVERED SO MANY OF THE SONGS (I covered 7 so far but only uploaded 4 on YouTube jsdhfjksdhfkj)! I NEVER EVER covered so many songs from a drama jsdhkshdfk, if I do it's only 1 or 2 😭 Unfortunately no one replied to my discussion but when the drama finished airing, I would start recording covers and uploading them on YouTube. There were some people who saw them and said I did really well. I would post them in the comments but didn't make a discussion until my latest cover. Well, all the covers are here:
...but you can just look at them on my YouTube channel... My personal favorite cover of mine would have to go to 'Return After A Long Dream'! :)
I remembered it was Neo Hou's bday this month and I greeted him... I saw him singing Yuanzhou's Youth (he cried, like I know he can never forget this character 😭) and I completely forgot to prepare a cover for his song like WHAT!!!! I finally covered it tho, I still have yet to make a FMV for it tho until I do. I will try to upload it before the month ends
It wasn't really the best imo... they focused a lot on romance. and I'm like, "they are doing cases but..…
I really loved Kongyun but unfortunately he was barely shown with the friend group and didn't get as much screen time as them which is why I said that sorry 😭 And the way he only officially joined after Tongshuang left? It kinda is really sad for me ngl since it kinda feels like a replacement :( But it is what it is haha... but really, I LOVE KONGYUN! I'm so glad he finally joined the group but I wished he had joined earlier 😭
I don't know what to watch since this drama ended... 🥹
Fushanhai has a new tentative airing date which is September 6! My subscription for iQIYI ends on the 2nd next month ksjdhfkshf, I might needa renew it for that LMAO! But for now, I'm gonna start watching 'I am Nobody' which I've been wanting to watch for soooo long (super excited for it) since I still have my 1-year YOUKU subscription going lol (ends next June)! Also, missing my Neo Hou wow! Can't believe the last time I watched him in as a big role was Fangs of Fortune DURING AIRING! I'm not gonna be counting Love in Pavilion cuz he was only shown in the first episode LMAO...
Also, I might try 'Shadow Love' while my subscription is still going... LOTFG is a big disappointment for me... the plot and writing is just lacking so much and it's so messy! And I'm relieved to see many people in the comments section say the same. So let's hope 'Shadow Love' will be a better Cheng Lei drama (if so, thank goodness it is coming after LOTFG)
To people that have completed this drama, is Coroner's diary as good? Cause I need to watch sth and I don't know…
It wasn't really the best imo... they focused a lot on romance. and I'm like, "they are doing cases but.. they can be lovey-dovey?" ngl, it did feel off to see them in those moments while solving cases at times... but also, cases were not connected, they would show us who the culprit is at times which didn't make it suspenseful for me.
FL is way too perfect. She knows every medical field LEGIT which I'm sure is impossible to master no matter how many years you have been studying. She is also a coroner... she is the only one who can heal those who are sick while no other can???? And she succeeds EVERY SINGLE TIME! It would've been nice to see her fail at some point bc we all face hardship in life (and no one is perfect) but they decided not to do that.
In the beginning of the drama, FL swore to take revenge (which made me excited bc I watched 'The Double' not long before - in June, where FL takes revenge for her family and it was so good) but this drama did not feel like a revenge drama at all. It barely showed her focusing on getting revenge but more just solving cases not related to her revenge at all... it showed her passion for being a coroner rather than her goal of revenge which honestly made me sad and disappointed since I was looking forward to the revenge aspect of it (I really loved the revenge plot in Legend of Zanghai too which didn't show romance much either (which I'm glad about)).
The drama was just case-to-case and not very suspenseful to me... also the side characters did not get to shine in this drama much. They were just there to add some funny moments but even if they helped at times, it was not much like how in TWD, each of the characters shine which is why we call them a squad. Don't trust MDL casting, bc the two other mains alongside the leads (in Coroner's Diary) do not feel like mains to me at all. If I were to change it, TWD should be having the whole friend group (besides Kongyun) as main characters bc they get shown AS MUCH AS THE LEADS while in Coroner's Diary, it was mainly the leads....
Anyways yeah there are many things in Coroner's Diary that I wished they did better but TWD did better in every aspect of it. So if this is off-putting to you, then don't watch it lol! It's gonna disappoint you more if you watch it after TWD so I'm really glad I watched it before TWD bc TWD was ON ANOTHER LEVEL! There were some fun and interesting scenes in CD here and there but most of the time, I didn't feel that intrigued with the drama (the plot just didn't stick out to me at all... I feel like there wasn't much of a plot to begin with tho if I'm being honest). I thought it was getting better somewhere in the middle but then it just felt the same to me not long after it so... well, this is my IMO and everyone is entitled to their own. You could like it. You may not. It depends on the person. If you watch it, then I do hope you enjoy it!
FOF WAS TOO MUCH FOR ME! TOO OBSESSED WITH IT LIKE I'VE NEVER FELT THAT WAY WITH A DRAMA BEFORE! Like after watching it, I will be watching sooooo many edits, rewatching the clips I posted on twt, watching soooo many bts vids on twitter, posting soooo many yichen x yuanzhou (or tian jiarui x neo hou bts clips in which so many got so much attention (telling us that this ship is such an unforgettable one for us that we cannot let go of even months later)... then I rewatched it like in December (like only a month after I finished it)... and a very random thing is the bgm... like I saw someone posting so many unreleased bgms on youtube and tried to help them by finding scenes with the same bgm and add them in a folder to help them make then.... yeah, I've never done this with a drama before. And I have to tell you the OSTs are the best I've ever heard and this is not even even biased for loving the drama so much. the OSTs are actually the BEST I've ever heard in Cdramaland (or just in drama in general)... and the fact that all the main friend supporting cast (the squad) each had their own OST PLUS a group OST too with a dance???????? That makes it even more special! I remember when the group OST came out and I could tell it was their voices (bc I watched MJTY that month it came out, in June 2024) and I was like, "Omg, this is so good! Hearing them sing makes this song even more precious!" Oh, and I even have a tweet about it... Looking back at it makes me feel so much nostalgia to when I was looking forward to it!
Anyways... WHAT A RANT LOL! I don't think a drama can ever beat FoF for me honestly tho I know it has its flaws. It's just a very special drama for me with the bromance (well.... BL chemistry LOL) and precious squad and beautiful, cute, and funny relationships where you can just ship everyone with just anyone!
I saw a rumor on Weibo saying the new air date is around September 6 (tentative).
omggg let's goooo!!! been waiting so long for this, and it's (hopefully) finally coming!!!!!!!! I really think this is gonna be MY drama of the year 😭😭😭
"XIAO DA GE" My dad be watching Ep.6 in the living room rn and my sister and I are hearing it and smiling/laughing so hard bc of missing and loving it 😭😭😭 Dang, I am just missing my squad so bad 😩😩😢😢
After my and my sister's dad asked us which iQIYI dramas are good, we recommended him this one as one of them. And he says he is liking it so far! We gave our account to him and the fact that he's on Ep.6 already tells me he is loving it bc he usually drops dramas early on... wow, can't wait to see what he thinks of later episodes 😍🥹
How on Earth did they detoxify everyone who drank the poisoned water?! Did they all get in line to take a bite…
Oh wait... nvm, I forgot. They mixed both poisons together so doesn't that mean the well water has been detoxified altogether? So it never came out as poison I guess when the ppl were drinking it already
