(no subject)
Surprisingly, after taking a day off yesterday, I'm not all that busy. I mean, I have things to do but they're not overwhelming. I'll celebrate that with a post!
Over the weekend, I made sticky rice mango from this recipe. The only thing I left out of it was the toasted sesame. How did it turn out?
I made the rice a bit too early, so ended up having to microwave it a little to get it somewhat room temperature. I think that ruins the mouth feel of sticky rice a bit. But in general, I liked it a good amount and I finally used up that can of coconut milk my mom gave me a few years ago!
While looking over what drama to watch next, I saw that we went through my previous list really fast. So here's a new list!
The Witcher - Not Asian drama, but I would probably try to watch this at some point soon. I'm at least almost done with the first Witcher book.
3310 - It's side story, The Pillow Book, was announced to be released starting tomorrow (China time) and will air up until March. So I'm going to re-watch the original story because it's good and it will be a good review of what's up with Bai Fengjiu and Donghua Dijun's pathetic love story.
The Handsome Siblings (2020) - I usually prefer Jin Yong's stories to Gu Long's. But this premise of twins separated at birth and deceived into fighting each other sounds promising. Too bad initial reviews seem bad. But I watched 20 minutes of the first episode and it looks like they tried with the fight choreography. So once I find good quality subtitles, I'll probably watch it.
Til Death Do Us Part - This is a batch of short episodes (7 episodes of 25 minutes each) based on short science fiction/thriller stories. I'll most likely watch this since length + Taiwan.
Some Day or One Day - I think this is still airing. So I'll keep waiting until late February/early March to watch it. It looks like a romantic comedy, but it's apparently not. And I've actually been avoiding spoilers because there are apparently crazy plot twists.
Three Lives, Three Worlds, The Pillow Book - And finally, after a year or two's delay, China is finally airing this. I'm pretty excited for it because of Baron Chen, though dreading the inevitable dubbing. I'll probably wait until March to watch it so that most of the episodes are released already.
Edit:
I totally forgot there's also To Get Her, which is about someone that goes into a game world to rescue her boyfriend. I watched the first episode and didn't think it was terrible and I have a positive opinion of Daddi Tang. I'll just have to see if there are English subs.
And Switch Girl!!...
...which is about a stalker that follows around these two high school students who can be turned on or off?
