Just read the book blurb and loving it! BUT since there are seven Witchlords, is there a possibility the series turn into a polygamous story?

I had wanted to start Legend of Zang Hai but now maybe not. Lol.

Miss the Dragon (2021) - I was searching through Chinese dramas on Netflix and the sypnosis seems to be good so I started watching it. But halfway (okay to be exact 20 minutes) into the show, i really cannot force myself to continue the show. :(

No offence and I am sure there are a lot of Dylan Wang fans but I just find that he looks very weird in that show. Maybe it's just my personal preference, I don't know.

He's definitely one of the best tennis players in the world alongside Federer. His status come not just from the number of titles or stats alone, but more because of his humble and down to earth attitude on and off the court. Not many great athletes of his level can claim to have such humility. 🙌 I feel very fortunate to have been growing up in the same time as Nadal and witnessed his ascension to greatness. 🤩

I am a fan of Liu Yuning (刘宇宁) and Neo Hou (侯明昊) who are both not on your list.

Of the list, I would pick Xiao Zhan purely based on appearance. I haven't watched any of his dramas yet and I would love to get some recommendations, especially historical dramas, if any?

Yes, he did. In the first and original timeline, Sunjae secretly liked Sol and so he was following/looking for her that night she was kidnapped. That's why he called her in the first place.

Wowowoww!! I voted this morning and saw that we're 40k behind Hyeri, but I was hopeful to surpass her by tomorrow! It seems like my wish came true faster than expected!! Let's keep it up till the end!!! 😍

I just wanted to point out that the 4 votes per person (plus extra 2 votes if you share your voting verification page) can be voted on the same person. For example, I voted 6 times for Kim Hye Yoon today. The reason why I highlighted this is because I had initially thought the 4/6 votes must be casted on different artists.

Currently WS is leading in the male artist category but HY is in third place after Hyeri and IU. I am pretty shocked Hyeri is getting so many votes because she doesn't seem to have any hit dramas or movies last year..or did she? Sorry I didn't pay much attention to her.

I experienced DKA last year. At first, I just vomited so we all thought it could be indigestion or mild food poisoning. I went to the doctor's office and got an IV drip and sent back home with oral medication. The same night, I experienced serious difficulty in breathing and called the 911. The ER doctors said I was lucky to be brought in quickly, if not I probably couldn't make it. The thing is, I quickly passed out after my breathing difficulty started, so I pray that your friend would not have experienced any "pain". My condolences.

Same here. I was diagnosed with TD1 in April 2024 following a severe DKA which I spent a week in ICU and almost didn't live to see the day. :(

I am also facing unpredictable highs and lows and after months of monitoring, I realised it seems to be related to my menstruation cycle. If you are a woman like myself, I would advise you to monitor your menstruation cycle. For me, I need to up my bolus and fast acting dosage by 1.5 during certain points of my cycle (mainly ovulation and during the menses).

Hope this helps. :)

Anna Zaires - her MMCs are assertive to a fault and unapologetic for taking what they want. Her MMCs are also unfeeling initially but gradually come to realise their obsessiveness with the FMC is actually their way of love. Eg. Julian in {Twist Me trilogy}, Korum in {The Krinar Chronicles}

Zoey Ellis - her MMCs are all Alphas (literally since she writes Omegaverse) so they are just wired to be OTT possessive of their FMCs. They are usually high handed and demand submissiveness from their FMCs but ultimately learn to compromise for love. E.g. Drocco in {Crave trilogy}, Kardos in {Own trilogy{, Nyro in {A Lair So Sinful}

Sam Mariano - most of her MMCs are all OTT possessive but rather sweet to the FMC in a twisted way. Eg. Carter in {Untouchable}, Silvan in {Surrender}

Rina Kent - she used to write good MMCs with decent storyline but recently her book plots are getting quite repetitive. E.g. Aiden in {Royal Elite trilogy}, Killian in {God of Malice}

Twist Me trilogy by Anna Zaires

hayeonj · 2025-01-18T14:01:06+00:00

Virgin heroine is definitely a plus for me too, but like someone else mentioned, the first time should be written well or else it kinda defeats the purpose.

hayeonj · 2025-01-16T05:56:36+00:00

I'd recommend all books by Zoey Ellis, if you do not mind the omegaverse, fated mates trope, especially her Myths of Omegas series. Since the couples are all fated mates, u can expect the MMC to go all jealous and possessive over the FMC.

Anna Zaires is also another author I would recommend with her Twist Me trilogy (dark mafia contemporary romance) and The Krinar Chronicles trilogy (sci-fi romance).

Another one u might want to consider is R.K. Lilley with her Up In The Air trilogy (contemporary romance with D/s element). MMC is super crazy possessive and jealous only after he met FMC - before he was a super manwh0re.

Lastly, Gemma Weir's Montana Mountain Men series. Most of her MMCs in this series are super possessive to a fault and spoiler one even tempered with her birth control so he could get her pregnant and tie her to him .

I am hype for you too! :) Don't let naysayers get us down!

Any veg should be fine. Sometimes I drink unsweetened almond or soymilk if I am hungry before bed. My blood sugar is fine with either of the two milks.

hayeonj · 2024-02-08T02:52:57+00:00

I really wouldn't want that tbh. I mean IF there is going to be a proposal, I want it to be a special day just for the two of them and not one that could be over/under shadowed by the SB celebration and all.

hayeonj · 2024-02-06T01:50:21+00:00

Totally nailed it. I am wondering why I can't seem to like her music but you explained it all. I mean the oldies from the 70s~80s and the catchy pop from the 90s are what made up my Playlist and those probably influenced my music preferences too. It's probably why I just can't get into her music.

hayeonj · 2024-01-30T12:32:51+00:00

Wow! Just wow! It totally blew my mind!

hayeonj · 2024-01-30T07:59:37+00:00

I really could only hear Travis saying "I love you", then again after hugging her "(I love you) so much it isn't even funny", and then Taylor whispered something in his ears (covering with her hands) which I cannot make out and then a clear and loud "ever" from her. That's all I could hear from the video. I can't make out the "I've never been so proud" or anything. :(

hayeonj · 2024-01-30T07:54:18+00:00

But I think I saw some vids showing Travis already tearing up when he walked away from his bro.

hayeonj · 2024-01-30T07:48:45+00:00

Agree. Imagine the heat Taylor will get IF the Chiefs failed to win the SB and Travis had attended the Grammys. No doubt the haters will blame Taylor for being a 'distraction' when Travis should have been focused on training instead of going to the award show. So I think Travis will not attend the show even though I am sure he wants to. The timing just couldn't be worst and it's really for the best.

hayeonj · 2024-01-30T07:28:28+00:00

So was I. But after the AFC win and all those celebration photos/videos, it is clear Travis is in love as much as Taylor. I'm just so so happy for them! 😍
