But even if the story still doesn’t make sense, it continues to be very pretty to look at!

For those like me who were wondering, apparently it translates as “Her Kiss: Infectious Libido”

I believe it’s this film (a GL story adapted from a Manga):

Kanojo no Kuchidzuke Kansensuru Libido

~~ Adapted from the manga "Kanojo no Kuchidzuke Kansensuru Libido" (彼女のくちづけ感染するリビドー) by Kida Miyuki (寄田みゆき).

I don’t know what this film is about, but I am pretty impressed with its title which manages to use 33 characters!

I was googling the issue of syntactic ambiguity, & I stumbled upon this fine sentence:

“Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana” 🍌

I’m keeping this one 🙂

It does improve after the first few episodes - at least this was my experience.

The first few eps were a bit of a blur for me with nothing making much sense, but once Ming Yi properly settles into Ji Bozai’s pad it becomes more interesting & simple to follow 🙂

Along with Michael Jackson, I think a William Blake line works very well here:

“the eye altering alters all” 🙂

But it’s a good philosophy to have: so long as you change, you are the change the world needs 👍

Have you just had a post caffeine nap? 😅

(Apologies, I was away doing something so missed your reply)

For those few femtoseconds I hope you apply your brain to solving world peace - either that or a good drama! 😅

Oh interesting 🤔 - I guess there’s a distinction to be made between a short nap & actually going to sleep for several hours; but I’ll take a look at the article 🙂

Cool! 😎 - thanks for sharing 🙂

Hopefully we’ll hear news at some point about Yang Yang & co getting together to film it

If you prefer not to use Disney I think it’s available in full on YouTube; eg:

I’m so glad they teamed up again - albeit as different characters - in #FlourishedPeony

They have a really nice connection together 🙂

Isn’t this available for some people on Disney+ & for others on Viki? (I watched it on Viki, but it’s not available on Disney+ here)

I remember before it aired there was a lot of confusion about which platform it would appear on (depending on which region folks live in)

I just realised the FL in this (Mio Imada) is the same actress who played the FL in the live action #MyHappyMarriage movie I just watched 🙂

You’ll have to keep me posted about how she does!

Yes, this! 💯 - It would be so cool to take a De Lorean back to Walden Pond & see Thoreau in his element, & find out how much laundry his mother was doing for him 😅

So if we see him as he saw himself - ie, a poet first, not a saint or a sage - then we might give him some more slack for his perceived faults (of which he certainly had many)

His ideas remain valid in their own way 🙂

He also helped slaves escape to Canada, etc

And his reflections about the relationship between humanity & the natural ecology were very progressive
