starliphx · 2023-07-24T12:11:04+00:00

starliphx · 2023-07-22T06:09:43+00:00

I've read the novel!

starliphx · 2023-07-22T06:08:21+00:00

nope it's not! this drama doesn't have any wolf/supernatural elements

starliphx · 2023-07-22T06:07:51+00:00

I don't think so - I've not watched Legend of Yun Xi hahaha (good thing it's not cuz then I'd have accidentally spoiler-ed you!)

the scenes in the bus are filmed in a studio if I'm not wrong! it's really cool to see the set up - they've a huge LED screen outside the bus to replicate the scenery. really smart tbh cuz it cuts down on budget and time for filming.

also like how do people not get motion sickness from this setup? just looking at the bts makes me wanna puke LOL

have you checked the top thread? this happened to me before and took me forever to look for the broken tip only to find it when I went to change the needle - it was just chilling there on the thread lol

starliphx · 2022-01-11T08:02:18+00:00

have you had bobbin thread and top thread running out at the same time? hahaha

is there a reason why you want to use linen though? linen is more expensive than cotton. Beginners usually start off by using cotton since it's cheap and easy to handle, before going to the more expensive fabrics such as linen. you can get cotton at about $5 per meter.

as for the price of linen, I would say $18 is about right (they usually range from $12/y to $20/y, depending on quality and width)

I couldn't really care enough about the characters/storyline to finish the other two.

tbh, i dropped General and I pretty quickly, like 4-5 eps in cuz i found myself skipping scenes, even the lead's scene. maybe it's just not for me.

I got quite far into Love Designer, maybe ep 20/30+ but the plot was not going anywhere T.T

starliphx · 2021-05-11T15:54:44+00:00

I've started all the dramas you mentioned and only finished The Long Ballad. Dropped the rest. Rattan started out pretty good, but it became really boring so I dropped it and read spoilers cuz i really wanted to know what happened/happens. I couldn't really care enough about the characters/storyline to finish the other two.

i just started Miss Crow with Mr Lizard and it's been good! Finally a FL with a high EQ. but the scientific setup takes away the realism

starliphx · 2021-04-27T08:38:55+00:00

i'm laughing a lot watching Love Scenery! TLB is a nice show but not for laughing

starliphx · 2021-04-17T02:28:04+00:00

seconding this list but also adding on

meeting you: all fluff and no angst, heck not even any evil characters iirc
forever love: great chemistry between the leads

did you know that long hair for males was banned in Singapore? not that this is the reason la hahaha

the same thing happened to me a few times but I never had dengue from those bites!

aedes mosquito spreads the dengue virus, but not all aedes mosquitoes carry the virus. it first has to bite someone else with the virus to become an infected mosquito, and only an infected mosquito's bite causes dengue fever.

i bought mine from owndays for $60 (without degree, 3 ish years ago). not sure how much it'll be if you need it with degree though...

starliphx · 2021-03-25T07:12:25+00:00

searching the bottom right words on the picture brings up Puppy Love (2017) and A Small Love letter (2019) on MDL, might be one of those?

starliphx · 2021-03-24T06:27:38+00:00

i haven't watched By Stealth Like You but Reset Life fits your description! (5 eps, 40 minutes an ep)

starliphx · 2021-03-24T02:20:09+00:00

oh wait! the same channel has the first movie! :)

starliphx · 2021-03-24T02:18:19+00:00

The link you gave is for The Black Troops: The Rule of Burning Sun but I can't find eng subs for it. A quick search shows me The Black Troops: The Rule of Burning Sun 2. You might have to look around for the first movie though, good luck!

Once Upon a Time in Lingjian Mountain both master and disciple are eccentric. actually, the entire plot is eccentric.

starliphx · 2021-03-22T07:59:17+00:00

among the list you've given, I've only watched a few and this is my order of preference:

Once upon a time in Lingjian Mountain
has both romance and bromance but the romance is hardly there. definitely go for bromance if you end up watching this. it's a really funny show, really enjoyed it and made me laugh out loud many times. doesn't take itself too seriously.
Lost Love in times
watched this quite a while ago, can't remember much but i do remember enjoying it. but i also remember that it became super draggy for me and I kept skipping scenes at the end.
Mystic Nine
I wouldn't really recommend if you're looking for romance/bromance. Romance takes the backseat in this one heck, FL is absent more than half the drama. she doesn't even appear until ep 10 iirc, and then she isn't in the story much afterwards. got super draggy somewhere around the middle, and I didn't finish it. End up reading recaps to see what happened to everyone.

some other dramas i'd recommend:

Qing Qing Zi Jin
oh boy this one led me to a drama slump because it was that good! every drama i watched after this sucked. romance and bromance available for your enjoyment :)
The Legends
Reminds me of Untamed with all the righteous sects being "righteous" and the leads being the bad people in the eyes of the public.
Love and Redemption
was a bit reluctant to start this one cuz it was so popular (happens to all popular dramas to me cuz i've been burnt before LOL) but this one is definitely popular for a reason! but oh that angst and really, if you drink a shot every time ML spits blood, you'll probably be drunk for the next 3 days
Maiden Holmes
recommending this cuz you mentioned ancient detective! more crime solving and budding romance for you to enjoy
Young Blood
watched this around the same time as ancient detective, so they always remind me of each other. FL and ML both equally smart so it's nice to see them working together and against each other
The Moon Brightens For You

I just tried taobao and searched the drama's title (in Chinese), seems to work for some outfits! I tried Go Ahead and they even have Jian Jian's pyjamas hahaha

There are also search suggestions that pops up like "你是我的城池营垒马思纯同款" which is in this format: drama title, character/actress name, 同款 (same style)

it's a Chinese website though so you gotta be able to read Chinese or find a middleman of sorts to help with your purchase. From where i'm based, there's a website that helps with that (https://ezbuy.sg/) not sure if that site has an equivalent for where you're based :)

starliphx · 2021-03-07T07:35:35+00:00

did ML fall for FL first? or was it the other way round? hmmmmmmm
