Love in the Clouds: Ep 15 My Notes

November 2, 2025 |   |  1 Comment  |  Love in the Clouds

As the story gets complicated, I often tend to forget the “first cause” or the initial reason the protagonists landed where they are at the moment. Here, in this episode, MY’s companion beast 27 is sent to MQ’s abode, the Dragon Carp Terrace, to search for proof that MQ is raising netherbeasts (for short, I’ll […]

These eight movies had a total runtime of 19.5 hours. In comparison, this cdrama has 36 episodes, each lasting 45 minutes, give or take. […]

Happy Hallowtide!

October 31, 2025 |   |  3 Comments  |  Uncategorized

I’m taking back Halloween just like I reclaimed Columbus Day. 🙂 The root word of Halloween is “hallow” which means “holy” or “saint.” It’s the same word that Christians use when they pray The Lord’s Pray. There’s a phrase in this prayer that goes, “Hallowed be thy name” which means let’s glorify and honor God’s […]

There’s a lot to unpack in this episode so I’ll jot down my notes on a separate thread for quicker access. Only a handful of lurkers is watching this cdrama with me and @ibisfeather, but I don’t care. The synopsis from Netflix: In the Sunken Abyss, Twenty-Seven’s mission goes wrong. Meanwhile, Mu Qibai reveals Ming […]

Happy Columbus Day!

Today, we can again celebrate Christopher Columbus and his legacy of exploration, faith, and courage without dreading that woke rioters will topple statues, deface monuments, or cry racism. I don’t speak for others. But no matter the imperfections of the Western civilization, I’m still infinitely grateful to be an American and […]

Love in the Clouds: Eps 1 to 10 Open Thread

Thanks @ibisfeather for recommending this cdrama. I’m enjoying it because of the heroine, Ming Yi, played by Lu YuXiao. She’s both funny and unconventional at conniving her way out of trouble. Although she must masquerade as a fairy, she isn’t a boring damsel-in-distress like that Esther Yu’s character in “Love Between the Fairy and the […]
