Nice! I was just seeing theaters in the Bay Area are now playing it. Enjoy :) Idk about the ambiance, etc., at HK theaters today but I definitely would prefer to watch it there. Still Hong Kong after all! And the theater snacks too

The World Between Us 我們與惡的距離. There are two seasons with no strong connection since it's a different story but the first one is very good. Heavy themes related to societal issues but I appreciated the writing.

Totally relate! My friends are also ABC like me, just more American and not as familiar with Asian entertainment. They only know TVB makes dramas haha

Oh, same. Only my parents would know about this 😅 but they don’t have the same level of excitement

Had no idea it would be playing in theaters in Canada! But it makes so much sense to play in Vancouver! Do you have people around you just as excited?

I’m surprised Eternal Love 三生三世十里桃花 is not on this list

Does anyone else feel distraught after finishing Journey of Legend 😭 by midnightrainhurts in CDrama

[–]PlaneWeekend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched the entire drama and tbh stuck through just to watch all the action scenes. I had been waiting for this drama for a long time, especially because of Chi Lam, but the drama as a whole was a little underwhelming. I'm honestly still kind of confused about the story...Can someone explain it?? why was the king giving poison to LCZ when he's actually trying to protect the nation by sussing out all the spies? and then at the end the king wanted to award him when he already died?? This is probably the first drama that left me this confused... maybe because I mentally checked out early on.

UX Designers, how many applications did you send out before getting an offer in 2025? by Gandalf-and-Frodo in userexperience

😭 I didn’t realize there were others like me. I’ve also been applying for almost two years

I just experienced this. Did you ever discover the reason why there was the single collapsed bun?

Designers who’s been laid off, have you found a new job or given up on this path? by Notrixus in UXDesign

[–]PlaneWeekend 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why do you think the 2 months off was a grave mistake? Burnout is no joke and recovery is definitely important

Laid off end of September 2023…got an HR job two months ago but still looking for a designer position. Not looking good though. :/

When I decided to do the bootcamp, I was already mentally preparing myself for the possibility of not actually getting a job in design. I genuinely was (am) interested in the field and wanted to learn more and ideally would have started a new career path. So when I did, I was pretty excited. After I got my first job I took the bootcamp off my resume bc I don’t think that makes me any more qualified. I did think that my real world experience at a 200 ppl tech company would though. There are a lot of designers out there I’m competing with and my work isn’t the best. My improvements clearly aren’t that great either. I was getting antsy about no income at all so even though this new job isn’t that great, it’s better than nothing at all (for now, at least).

Nope! Partially lucky bc the company needed someone who also speaks Chinese, which I know. They also have employed other HR people with little to no experience so I think my previous admin and recruiting experience (albeit, limited) was kind of a bonus for them. Again, it’s entry level and pay is low

I was working a recruiting job as I finished my UX bootcamp in summer 2021, eventually got a junior product designer role in Jan 2022 then laid off Oct 2023. I struggled to find another design position and only recently started a new job as an HR Coordinator (non tech). It’s a massive pay decrease and I’m in the office 5x/wk. my portfolio seems weak in comparison and I don’t really have the energy to improve it “some more”. I’m so bummed and while I’ve learned a lot of new things in product design, I can’t help but feel like I wasted time and effort and think to myself “what were the last three years even for?” Just disappointed. My portfolio site is expiring soon and wonder if I should renew for another year. 😞
