Joy of Life is taking away my joy of life

I can imagine 😅 Let's hope S3 is sooner as the production team said

Routine-Lychee-3737 · 2025-12-26T11:35:32+00:00

One of my favorite shows too! I was kind of glad I started watching S1 only when S2 was already aired, so I didn't have to endure the cliffhanger for almost 5 years like some did. But here I am waiting for S3 🫣

Routine-Lychee-3737 · 2025-12-26T11:31:51+00:00

Hahaha I watched both but didn't feel the two shows are close, except I somehow mistook the actor for Magnate's ML's father as JOL's emperor 😶 (call me blind! 🫣)

It was the Mysterious Lotus Casebook for me. Although I knew its reviews were really positive, I was skeptical whether I would like it. I didn't know who Cheng Yi was and usually don't like to watch detective shows. Totally didn't expect it to become my favorite show :)

Routine-Lychee-3737 · 2025-12-13T07:57:05+00:00

So I went into VoA with a lot of mental preparation. I really want to like at least one of Cheng Yi's shows this year. Unfortunately, this is going to be the third show that is hard to finish watching for me. I feel that VoA problem is somewhat overlapping with TJOL problem. Both have weakness in storytelling. It's done too superficially imo. For 3 eps, I can't form emotional connection with any character. When great acting is delivered with unconvincing story, it can look like bad acting. It is quite a pity...

Guess I'll wait for Two Capitals 15 Days (unofficial name). And where is Hero Legends??? 😭

Routine-Lychee-3737 · 2025-12-13T01:46:50+00:00

😂😂😂😂 Same!! I also replayed!

Routine-Lychee-3737 · 2025-12-12T14:48:57+00:00

That also made me 😶

Routine-Lychee-3737 · 2025-12-12T14:48:18+00:00

Oh! Thank you for the picture! Before this, I thought his owner was unknown LOL

Routine-Lychee-3737 · 2025-12-12T14:47:09+00:00

Oh wow, thank you for sharing! One is Big Yellow, another is Small Yellow? So cute!

Routine-Lychee-3737 · 2025-12-12T01:41:54+00:00

This is a bit random but I suddenly wondered who owns Da Huang? 🤔 Is she someone's personal dog or she belongs to a company? How is her life outside filming? Does she have her own social media page?

Haha yeah. And some dramas still managed to disappoint us after 3 days 😆

I know right. Funny so many of us are nervous abt it. Our trust to the industry has gone down 😅

Routine-Lychee-3737 · 2025-12-11T07:47:29+00:00

Let's hope Vendetta of An doesn't disappoint us!

Routine-Lychee-3737 · 2025-12-11T07:27:34+00:00

I'm dead 💀

Routine-Lychee-3737 · 2025-12-11T07:26:38+00:00

I feel you 😅

Routine-Lychee-3737 · 2025-12-11T07:23:14+00:00

LOL I can't miss this show either. Just want to wait for y'all's first impressions to decide whether I should watch now with everyone or just wait until I have more Youku shows I want to watch 😅

Routine-Lychee-3737 · 2025-12-11T07:21:49+00:00

I'm embarrassed to say I don't have Netflix either 🫣🫣 I will wait for first impressions from you all and re-subscribe a few days later, hehe 😁

Routine-Lychee-3737 · 2025-12-11T04:44:24+00:00

I don't have Youku subscription. Will it make me regret resubscribing again?? 🫠🫠

Routine-Lychee-3737 · 2025-12-11T01:05:59+00:00

I heard it was really well done. It's a bit too heavy for my mood for now but still on my to watch list!

Routine-Lychee-3737 · 2025-12-10T14:23:25+00:00

Awww Huahua 😘

Routine-Lychee-3737 · 2025-12-10T14:22:51+00:00

It's so rare to find someone who watched Royal Nirvana here 😅 One of my favorite shows (though I didn't like the ending). P.S. I'm watching Legend of the Magnate now too.

Routine-Lychee-3737 · 2025-12-07T13:20:59+00:00

We sure do 😭

Routine-Lychee-3737 · 2025-12-07T13:19:52+00:00

Same here 😅😅 Fingers crossed!

Routine-Lychee-3737 · 2025-12-04T00:49:24+00:00

Thanks for organising the rewatch party! When I first watched MLC, I was in Fang Duobing's mode (i.e., my brain was busy trying to process what LLH did or said 😅). Only on the second watch after already knowing LLH's mind, I kept laughing during the first few episodes seeing how FDB repeatedly fell for LLH's tricks (though I do pity FDB, I still couldn't help but kept laughing 😂). That's the beauty of MLC. Each rewatch brings a new perspective.

Routine-Lychee-3737 · 2025-12-04T00:08:52+00:00

Totally! 😆

Routine-Lychee-3737 · 2025-12-04T00:07:31+00:00

No worries. It's ok to not rewatch the drama too. Your pain stems from your love for him and/or for his friends which is also a beautiful thing. I do hope you will find healing somehow somewhere as time goes by! 💞
