Day 19: A drama that made me laugh was #TheLoveDuel. #SmileHu was so funny as Shen Juan Juan. She was spirited, successful, competitive, & fun. #WangXuan played more of the nice, straight man to her funny woman, but he had some funny moments as well. #EYDC2025 #cdrama #DeviousFacesLipstickTraces
Day 18: Most Watched Genre - Hello #romance! Out of 39 watched, 33 qualify as romance. While I love serious romances the best, I also enjoyed some lighthearted ones like #YouAreMyLoverFriend, #TheLoveDuel, #LoveScout, #TheDayOfBecomingYou, & #DreamingOfAFreakingFairytale.
#EYDC2025 #cdrama #kdrama
As you liked Dreaming Of A Freaking Fairytale, I am going to suggest the funny one #TheLoveDuel. It's a light meta, short historical, more a rom com, but it really is a modern-day one that goes back into the past, so it's knowingly poking at costume-drama characters, etc. You might like the fl. :)
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
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 9: Some of my top faves from past years that I watched this year are #DoubleLife #TheLoveDuel #YouAreMyLoverFriend #DreamingOfAFreakingFairyTale, & #Reset. I highly recommend them all depending on one's taste, DOFF has a small lame moment, otherwise smart/🤣.

Day 3: Favorite Actor Found: #WangXuan grabbed my attention with #GrabYourLove & kept it with #DoubleLife & #TheLoveDuel. He consistently delivers watchworthy kiss scenes. Here's hoping he receives full-length #cdrama projects to gain more experience. Might I suggest romances? #王轩 #EYDC2025 #cdramas
Day 1: In a first, I watched mostly #cdramas. Out of a total of 37 dramas completed so far, 22 were & most were exceedingly good! I blame #WangXuan 's kisses. #EYDC2025 #cdrama #TheLoveDuel #DoubleLife #GrabYourLove #YouAreMyLoverFriend #TheFirstFrost #TwelveLetters #BloodRiver #FatedHearts #Reset
#WangXuan did well with longer more fleshed out roles like in #TheLoveDuel, #GrabYourLove, & #DoubleLife. I hope he'll get offered more #MiniCdrama roles & a full-length #cdrama to sink his teeth into. The #verticalcdramas don't allow him to spread his wings as an actor, because they are so quick.
I’m looking forward to properly watching #TheLoveDuel - I’ve only tasted it so far, as I’m waiting to finish with #FatedHearts first 👍
What are you watching peeps? I am watching #TheImperialDoctress, #Reset, & finished #FallInLove, which was decent for a #MiniCdrama & a rewatch of #TheLoveDuel, which is a wonderful 1. I finished 2 vertical dramas. #ZaiYuQianRenLianShangTaDeQingShen & another I still don't know the name of.🤣 #cdrama
Me comfort #Cdrama rewatching #TheLoveDuel. #MiniCdrama #BreathInCuteness #ComfortWatch #过招
Day 10: I am going with #TheLoveDuel for the medical-assistance trope as it was so fun to see them meta critique it in a #cdrama, while keeping it hot. 🔥 #HerThoughtsSoRelatable

🚨 Day 4: I 🖤 the falling/catch, and maybe we add pushing, twirling, or whirling in there too, 🤣. Some great ones I have seen lately are from: #DreamingOfAFreakingFairytale and #TheLoveDuel both of which incorporated it in pleasing, and more unique ways. 🥰

🚨 I 🖤ed this #cdrama, which features a love story between a strong woman & her biz competitor thrust into a script together. The leads moved from comedic to serious scenes well. This meta story was amusing & enjoyable. Hope some of you will give this gem a try. #cdramas #minidrama #TheLoveDuel #过招
🚨 Aww, so pretty in the snow with the parasol dropping as they kiss. These two are great couple: #SmileHu did wonderfully as the strong woman with heart & #PrinceHeng admired her strength & was not threatened by it. He's a keeper!

🚨 #PrinceHeng encouraging his bodyguard to grasp for love is so sweet. Love is harder to come by in this world than many know, & he recognizes that loving someone is an act of bravery, because one becomes vulnerable.

🚨 #WangXuan is working that throat angle. 👍 Nicely played #PrinceHeng, how can #ShenJuanjuan resist? Poorly, 🤣. I love it when #cdramas focus on sensual imagery with close-ups. There is beauty to touch and intimate moments.

🚨 True to its premise and her attitude, #ShenJuanjuan is able to measure up to #PrinceHeng in every way, and oh, does he like that. Great to see some swordfighting in this mini #cdrama as well.
