Day 16: Overall though, my favorite actress I watched this year is #HuYiYao ( #胡亦瑶 ) as #YunShang from the #MiniCdrama #DoubleLife (2024). Her portrayal was capable, strong, serious, yet also soft and loving. I also enjoyed her in #BoundBySin (2025), but prefer DL. #cdrama #EYDC2025 #LightAndDark
Hu Yi Yao ( #胡亦瑶 ) as Yun Shang from the Mini Cdrama Double Life stands looking in front of herself. She wears a serious expression on her face and a black dress with a red layer for the lapels. She is standing in a dark room with a light behind her that is reflecting on the floor. Hu Yi Yao ( #胡亦瑶 ) as Yun Shang from the Mini Cdrama Double Life stands looking forward.

Day 16: Impossible to choose: #LiQin (李沁) in #FatedHearts, #WangYinglu (王影璐) in #TwelveLetters were notable performances, & in 2024 dramas I watched this year #SmileHu amused me to no end in #TheLoveDuel & #PyoYeJin (표예진) was delightful in #DreamingOfAFreakingFairytale.
#EYDC2025 #cdrama #kdrama
Li Qin slayed as Fu Yi Xiao in Fated Hearts. Here, she looks afright with her mouth open. Her hand is held backwards and holds a sword which is unseen. She is confused and mixing her memories with reality. Yu Haitang stares up at Tang Yi Xun with her mouth open and tears in her eyes about to fall. She wears a white and dark brown plaid shirt. Her hair hangs in her face, and she looks wild and crazed. They stand on a street corner, and the pavement is wet. Prince Heng sits in a bath and watches Shen Juan Juan, played by Smile Hu, who sitting on the side of the tub and is placing her hand on the side of the bath. There are curtains framing the bath. This is from the mini cdrama The Love Duel. There is a golden glow to the scene. Pyo Ye Jin was delightful in Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale. Here, she sits on a mosaic gray, white, and brown-patterned couch while wearing a black leather jacket, short black skirt, and knee-high boots. Her arms are crossed and she has a serious look on her face and looks powerful.

Day 15: Posters - My favorite for artistry is the one @jamesdramac.bsky.social shared for #TransferGoldHairpin. My favorite for creativity is #TwelveLetters, which offers a unique visual as unique as the plot itself. My favorite for a romance poster is from #GrabYourLove.
#EYDC2025 #cdrama #cdramas
Poster for Transfer Gold Hairpin showing golden thorns and jeweled crown dividing the space between the two women. One is the dark with a golden mask held aloft in her fingers and the other with with crown looks beautifully downward with a small smile. Poster for Twelve Letters showing a young couple sitting on a piece of paper that floats down from a red letter box. Above them, a cat leaps from one sheet of paper to another, which shows a small replica of the red mailbox. On the other side of the replica, a slightly older couple sits on the edge of another sheet of paper. Poster for the mini cdrama Grab Your Love showing a woman and a man hugging. She wears a white blouse with a bow at the top and a tan, long skirt, and he wears a pinstripe shirt and a black vest. There are twinking lights and spectral light traces around them. It looks warm.

Day 12: My favorite platonic relationship was from a 2024 one & between Urabe Kanoko & Iwai Souma in #UsotokiRhetoric. They were adorable together. Both quirky & trying to survive in a world where they don't fit in well, they accept each other & are stronger together.

Day 11: Less learning, more a reminder about what empathy entails. In #TheFirstFrost & #TheWhiteOliveTree behavior might seem irrational or extreme, but it's desperate self-preservation. As an outsider, one must be patient & not take the actions of a suffering person personally.
#EYDC2025 #cdrama

Day 10: Rewatched #TheLoveDuel, #RipeForThePicking, and #SchoolNurseFiles. Often when I recommend something to someone later on, I like to rewatch to see if they are as good as I remember. These are short, so it's easy to rewatch. TLD & RFTP I'd rewatch anytime. 🥰

Day 8: Fave 2ndary character: #MuCiLing was so fabulously unhinged! #LiDaiKun seemed to relish his role portraying him as deranged, complete with a convincingly evil laugh—a feat that's hard to do—& transforming him into a victim too, who merely wanted to be free.

🚨 #FatedHearts balanced its leads giving each time to be strong & weak. In a rare yet appreciated move, it shared a man's body can be sensuous & beautiful, soft & lovely as well as it can be desirable for a man to share control of intimacy & to be at the mercy of a woman. #InTheKnees💋 #一笑随歌 #cdrama

🚨 #FuYiXiao is like "listen here, buddy, I am into you." Straight-up, no shyness. He's the shy, guarded 一. It fits their character's past. He's been hurt by loved ones & has a fragile heart; she was raised familyless by pain, so love, love is nothing to fear: dive in. 🖤
