@sakie, one of my pastimes is reading the posts here. Interesting observation.

@Sandrusca thank you for your recommendations.

Thank you for your reply. Watching a few episodes of this currently aired drama spurred me to re-read the history of the Cultural Revolution.

Thank you for your interesting comments. Please share, if possible, if the USSR today is similar to the PRC (commercial + communism).

Interesting thought from you for a series focusing on a FL.

While not perfect, this is the best Chinese drama of 2025 for me.

Wong Kar-wai's a legend, indeed! His 'Blossoms Shanghai' is great. :)

@AleksandraSucur "first time I see it in a drama". Many Cantonese-language movies or series have Macau settings as most people there speak Cantonese, although I've never been there.

Agree with you on 'Silent Tides.' Glad the Macau focus series is made.

@Fiony Evangelista M Thanking for sharing that blog. It has general Chinese drama news.

@TiffanyVuong I wish it were that easy! Mandarin is rarely used around me; trying to learn it though.

I'm not sure I'd say I like it, though it is entertaining to watch while on a treadmill. The drawing point was the Cantonese heard in the background or spoken by the barbers, allowing my eyes to rest from speed-reading the subtitles for the Mandarin dialect. I wish there were a Cantonese-dubbed version of this series.

Does anyone know which actor plays the role of the anesthetist? He's also put in a good performance.

I am racking my brain for a similar Hispanic American gay erotic movie director in the 90's. His films are similar with "visually attractive" actors, in the nude, on screen on a screenplay with no cohesive plot or 'gay' relevance to the gay culture. This must be before the import of Yaoi and its current explosive appeal to the 'right' and huge audience. Could help me remember who he was?

Thank you for the feedback. :)

Sometimes, iQIYI offers Cantonese-dubbed versions of popular series, and if a Cantonese-dubbed version exists for this particular series, many of us will be very happy!

@etoks21 The imagery in Scud's "artistic" cinematic products must have appealed to some audience to get them produced, though not for me. Scud's imagery has no relevance to my life and social circles.

Wow, @Saeng, เรื่องราวเกย์ ผมกำลังหาลิสต์แบบนี้อยู่เลยตั้งแต่ผมเป็นสมาชิก! ขอบคุณนะ

I, for one, really like this kind of realism. I look forward to each episode. I just hope the producers can see that there is/are audience(s) of other generations who are fans of this genre and will make more of this.

Thank you for explaining that because your comment further up made me extremely curious/clueless as to what "really good" meant.
