I enjoyed listening to your discussions on dramas, especially the ones I was familiar with. I also learned about looking at trends of Douyin. My favorite drama of 2024 was “Blossom" and “Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty- Season 2". Hope you and loved ones are safe and healthy.

I dropped “When the Phone Rings" after ep. 4. I am not quite sure I understand the appeal of it from the start, but I do know so many people were flabbergasted by the last episode. Hahaha.

As for "Lovely Runner”, that drama started off well for me but then by ep. 3 when they put in the story of the best friend and brother, I was rolling my eyes. My friends still want me to finish it, but I might be speed watching down the line. I feel the drama could have been a movie even, or like you said, a short series. The female character there didn't feel memorable to me and instead was frustrating.

Thank you for taking the time to share your podcast.

Happy New Year, Kathleen! Hope all is well.

I forgot to mention Strange Tales and regretted it later but it was definitely up there. Blossom is pretty decent so far and I'm looking foward to the last six episodes.

With Lovely Runner, I practically FF through all the best friend and brother story. I think they were going for slapstick there but the characters came off as being immature and annoying.

As usual thanks for being such a loyal listener.
