4/4/2020 Updated news here: When is it showing? Falling in love with you is the best thing I have ever done. Please, director and screenwriter, could you please choose a title that doesn’t read like the closing sentence of a fanfiction? But I’ll gladly overlook the title if you can deliver this Yang Yang and […]
Love O2O: Episode 30 Highlights, part 2
For the ending, I’m doing something a bit different. I’ll still write the highlights of the show, but I’ll also refer to the translation of the Final Episode for comparison. Here’s the source of the translation I’m using: A Slight Smile is Very Charming (微微一笑很倾城) : Part 48 (Final) I think it’s uploaded by the […]
Love O2O: Episode 30 Highlights, part 1
So we’ve reached the end. The premise of Love O2O is very simple. It talks about love that began online gradually developing into love offline. Hence, the title: Love O2O or Love Online to Offline. Its original title, One Smile is Very Alluring, is also interesting. But since I’m not Chinese, somebody else will have […]

Happy birthday to Yang Yang! This Episode 29 post is my gift to fellow Xiao Nai fans. 1. Picking up Weiwei At the company dinner, Xiao Nai promised the guys a company excursion as reward for all their hard work and for winning the Fengteng contract. On the day of the company trip, Nai told […]
The King’s Avatar: Open Thread
The only game I was compelled to play on Gamecube (or was it Playstation?) was Spyro the Dragon. There was something therapeutic about head-butting jars, treasure chests, and orcs. I’m creating this open thread for @phoenix, President of the Xiao Nai/Yang Yang Fan Club, and @agdr03, VP for public relations here at Bitchesoverdramas so they […]
Go Go Squid! Eps 13 & 14 Review
I’ll combine two episodes because they deal about the break-up. Plus, I’m a firm believer that band-aids, and most things painful, should be ripped off as fast you can, so the discomfort is over fast, too. 1. She thinks/He thinks Their break-up hinged around this moment: It amuses me that such an innocent hug could […]
Go Go Squid! Episode 12+ Highlights
I’m convinced that Shanyang is a lying liar. And I’ve got the proofs! Aside from his actions at the amusement park, I’ve got his stepmom’s words and his conversation with Nian’s nosy friend Meimei in Episode 13, to back me up. This is one long review because I’ll cover one and half episodes. Warning: this […]
Go Go Squid! Episodes 10 & 11 Highlights
Episode 10 If you’re solely focus on the romance aspect like I am, you can skip Episode 10. They were separated by a continent so they could only communicate by phone. For instance, Valentine’s Day was also Shangyan’s birthday. This could have been a major romantic celebration for them but it was dud. She tried to […]
Go Go Squid! Episode 9 Highlights
This is a very short episode for highlights but it’s a long read because I typed the complete NetEase texts to give us the backdrop of his cluelessness and her excitement. I had vicarious thrill watching our couple connect through social media. 1. Social media newbie On the eve of his trip to Norway, Shangyan […]
Go Go Squid! Episode 8 Highlights
Don’t expect me to bore y’all with an episode-by-episode highlights because there’s, like, 80000000 episodes in this Cdrama. But there are episodes, like this one, that merit star attention. Just because the couple interaction is light and fluffy doesn’t mean that a snarky, reasonably intelligent, bitter bitch like me, can’t appreciate it. Okay, let’s go […]

Bitch Talk: Go Go Squid!
If you watched LoveO2O with me, then come watch “Go Go Squid!” I don’t know the ending but so far the story’s going okay. Just skip the tedious flashbacks and focus on the engaging couple. It’s another one of those light and fluffy Cdrama romcoms which will serve as a nice counterpoint to the Hong […]
Before We Get Married: Last Thoughts
I wear several hats. As some of you may know, I watch dramas to escape my everyday life and the two hats that I resolutely leave at the door when I blog are my “political” hat and my “legal” hat. I compartmentalize my writings in four categories: private, public, working and bitchcraft (aka this Bitchesoverdramas). […]
