I thought I'd let you all know that Bitter has unfortunately returned to modern civilisation after spending the last few days weeping away whilst watching Bu Bu Jing Xin. To those that haven't tried it do so, it's so good I only hope that the writers have put a lot of thought into the sequel and that it will air soon because I am terrible with my patience. Currently shipping the two leads big time, I don't why but I never realised Nicky Wu's charm, sure I knew of him because of my bias Su You Peng from their Little Tiger days but something about his appearance seemed odd to me. That was still the case when I first saw the drama with his queue and again for some reason he still looked odd but with each episode I shelved that thought finding something charming about him that I cannot even describe. He's not a bias nor am I a fan but I'm definitely not indifferent towards him now.

You know every time I really get into a drama I guess I have this routine that I follow without fail first its watching the drama like my life depends on it, if it is good food is secondary to drama (not even kidding I can go a whole day with just watching dramas). Waterworks are a usual symptom, what follows next after I've finished the drama is endless reading of recaps and scouring youtube for fan made vids (fmv) and a bit of background search on the leads and if it's a historical drama then research on history.  With this drama in particular, since it is based on a novel, I'm looking for english translations of the novel however for one there's only 8 chapters out of 20 translated (TT) and two, the Chinese language is so complex that translations lose a lot of nuances. I can only hope that one day I will become literate enough to be able to read.

FINAL NEWS on my fav OTP (on-screen because Zhao Wei is married with a kid), they're going to appear on television again. Waited 12 years to see this, since their last appearance which was Romance in the Rain where they only played friends and not romantic interests (curse Leo and his horrible acting and stealing the spotlight). Airing next year is the fifth season of China's got Talent and Zhao Wei and Su You Peng are both judges on the show. Do you know how excited I am to see them together finally because though they're good friends they haven't made any public appearances for a long time.
