        It’s weird, everything about it on paper is too – excellent cinematography, good acting, good styling/make up, intriguing plot line, fast-paced storytelling. But somehow I’m okay with dropping it and not knowing how it ends?

          I have experienced the same thing @myriver with a few dramas -everything about them screams quality but somehow emotionally don’t connect with me!

          I definitely love LX’s badass braids with shaved sides….it speaks to me on an emotional level and resonates with me on a physical level.

      @mayhemf!!!! It definitely has been a while and oh how much I miss squeeing together with you!!

      I am doing well….as much as one can be living in this dark times. I have been thinking about you recently since that very unfortunate NYC birder incident happened with the dog woman. Hope all is well with you too and stay safe!

      Dear @lugirl131415 maknae!!!! Hope you are well too!!

      I heard from Outie that you watched Enlighten Me and so happy to hear that we are all on Team Nuan Nuan!! She might be one of the most awesome Dramaland heroines ever, and Enlighten Me might be one of the best workplace Cdramas (mostly because they are generally so terrible. 😅.) In the end I was even rooting for the romance just because it would make NN happy!! I am now watching Fake Princess for Eleanor Lee lol.

        Ahhh! I loved Nuan Nuan and Eleanor portrayed her so well. I originally was planning to drop the drama as I was not liking Han Che and the romance (he was a jerk and too hot and cold) but @lugirl131415 convinced me to keep going and I’m glad I did as it ended up being such a lovely drama. I loved her story and strength. Her working her way from the lowest of the low to finding and following her new dreams. It was lovely.

        And I plan to start Fake Princess this weekend! Been holding off since the subs are soooo slow for us non-Chinese speaking peasants 😭

        My lovely Noona!!! I am well and am very glad to hear from you~

        Yes! #TeamNuanNuan all day, everyday!
        She is truly one of the most realistic and inspiring heroines I’ve watched! Her journey was amazing and you just can’t help but root for her all the way. Major props to Eleanor the crying, hardworking, cute, and funny scenes so you could just feel for her.
        And I agree with the romance. Han Che annoyed me quite a bit but the last couple episodes won me over (it was just OTP cuteness overload 🥰.) I think it helped that the romance arc didn’t seem to play out as the main plot. It felt like Han Che was just part of her journey to maturing and finding her own happiness.
        Also, so true about workplace Cdramas! Not many can balance it out as well as Enlighten did and make it as interesting as it was. I ended up being quite intrigued by the fashion industry so that is a great plus.
        How’s Fake Princess, by the way. I wanted to start it and I think @trinpie (she’s also on Team Nuan Nuan! I mean, who isn’t if they’ve watch the show) will be starting it later this weekend. Tell me if it’s any good! I do miss Eleanor on my screen.

          @trinpie and @lugirl131415,

          You know one of my favorite moments in Enlighten Me? When NN thought HC kissed Lin Jia JI on the rooftop during that photoshoot, she didn’t sulk. But what did our awesome heroine do? She took charge!! The first moment they had alone in the car NN kissed him hard to “sanitize” his lips!! 🤣🤣🤣 Oh I love her.

          I am currently on episode 17 of Fake Princess. I think it will be fore me one of those dramas I will forget about as soon as I finish watching. Eleanor is still awesome here and the show is a fluffy and fun. My main complain for the first 12 episodes is actually that it is “too fluffy”…..like there is not much that is happening and then bam!!! Angst hits super hard….like really really hard for both the OTP and the secondary couple. 😭

          But no worries, the angst is quite short lived but now my complain becomes…..after all they have been through the OTP knows that both of them are willing to sacrifice everything for each other so the new conflicts seem so trivial? As you see, I am impossible to be satisfied. 😅

          I do hope the subs will pick it its pace! I do think that among so many new Cdramas this past couple months this might be one of the better ones out there!

            I’m on ep 3! I’m really liking it and of course loving Eleanor’s character 😆

            The other dramas I’m watching right now is Fox and Miss Rose and The Winner is Love which I’m quite liking both.
