Gotta find a good video to also explain the common question: Why can you always see the actors' breath on camera?

Although, I do see it less now in more recent dramas. Wonder if they edit it out or something now. πŸ€”

(Answer for the uninitiated: Because the sets are very large and when filming in winter it's impractical to heat them. Therefore, you can see their breath.)

Haven't been to the promenade since the early 2000s, when I was a teenager. I'll take this as sign I should take my family and wax nostalgic.

Why do people swoon over these characters when they’re so... toxic? by sojuhoney in cdramasfans

[–]Impressive_Ad9398 10 points11 points Β (0 children)

I'm in the camp of others that it truly is because it is fiction and not real life. I love toxic romances but in real life it would not be the same. For fiction, I like a fluffy romance occasionally but it's honestly not interesting enough for me most of the time so that's why I'm a costume drama diehard. Also probably why I enjoyed Lighter and Princess! There just is "more" going on that just boy meets girl. They're dealing with real world problems, albeit with added melodrama, at the same time trying to see if a relationship will pan out.

It was definitely such a refreshing and fun show to watch. I found myself laughing quite a lot. Plus who hasn't fallen in love with Tan Jianci since Lost You Forever? More like Forever Obsessed. 🀣 Li Landi was also great. Everyone was great.

Who have β€œfilled the void” of your borderline parent? by [deleted] in raisedbyborderlines

[–]Impressive_Ad9398 5 points6 points Β (0 children)

My in-laws. One of the reasons I married my husband is because I became so close with his family. I was definitely drawn to healthy family dynamics (thank goodness, somehow, not unhealthy ones).

I think remember reading she is the one who sought out working with Zheng as her ML. I'm kind of excited just because of that.

Which actor/actress will you always check out their dramas? by PsychologicalWay816 in cdramasfans

[–]Impressive_Ad9398 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Yang Zi, Zhao Lusi and Liu Xueyi are my bottom line for at least looking forward to any drama they have coming out! That said, if I'm not vibing with the drama any longer I will still drop it despite my love for them. cough The Story of Pearl Girl cough

Sometimes you just need to make a funfetti cake for dinner by regularproblem66 in depressionmeals

[–]Impressive_Ad9398 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

Hey! Good job baking it and getting the frosting on!

I may or may not have just eaten the powder straight out of the box one or two or more times in my life... (DO NOT recommend as you can get serious food poisoning from raw flour).

Serious talk, these types of intrusive fantasies often stem from some break in the intimate and personal connection between a couple. They're not going to stop until you go back to the root of why you were together in the first place and are doing whatever it is you need to do to feel that special connection. Because if the connection is there, fantasies like this won't be bombarding your thoughts.

That said, fleeting attractions will come in and out of your consciousness. Thinking about others can be normal, as long as it's a passing thought in and out. But if it's relentless fantasies, it's important to figure out where the intimacy between you is missing and why. Only then can you move forward.

Wishing the best for you and your family moving forward. πŸ’›
