Got Chipotle for dinner! I& #39;m gonna eat and start watching Granting You A Dreamlike Life!

I& #39;ve heard it& #39;s kinda boring? And it& #39;s a romance.

Oh no he plays a giant asshole.

Well, at least he& #39;s cute.

Lol what?

What is the drama even doing?!

How come we never got Shen Wei riding on Zhao Yunlan& #39;s bike in Guardian?! MISSED OPPORTUNITY, CHINA.

I think this drama had a budget of $74 and it was all spent on renting this ol& #39; timey motorcycle. Money well spent, but man, the blending of the green screen is terrible!

Ah, the guy behind Zhu Yilong is me.

The dialogue, though...

ZYL: 你瞎摸什么呢你 (Nǐ xiā mō shénme ne nǐ) - What are you touching?

Other guy: 多年不见手感还么好 (Duōnián bùjiàn shǒugǎn hái me hǎo) - It feels good after years of not seeing it. (The subs say: "After all these years, the handles are still good."

I& #39;m not sure what purpose the second 你 (nǐ - you) serves in that first line. It doesn& #39;t sound like that& #39;s what he& #39;s saying. The sentence ends on more of an "ah" sound. 啊, maybe?

This drama has Chinese hardsubs, so it& #39;s gonna take me twice as long to watch it since I& #39;ll be so tempted to look up grammar and vocab every 9 seconds.

Oh well.

I really like the friendship of these two dudes. But I& #39;m pretty sure they go after the same woman, so... forget that, I guess.

I have no idea what& #39;s happening so far in this drama, but Zhu Yilong is really, very attractive.

Also, I love this friendship so much.

Drama, please don& #39;t let a love triangle destroy it!

Why are they in bed together?! Why do the two dudes have more romantic chemistry than either of them have with the woman?

Damnit, drama, I am actively trying not to ship them because I know I& #39;ll just be disappointed, but they& #39;re the best couple in this.

Why, drama?! 为什么?!?!?!?! なんで?!?!?!?!?!?!

Zhu Yilong& #39;s character is a giant bag of dicks in this. If the woman even thinks about choosing him over the other guy (who is a gentle sweetheart), I will be very upset.

Her brother? fiance? is also a bag of dicks & I hope he gets punched in the face frequently.

I& #39;m struggling to figure out their relationship. She calls him 哥 (brother) and they both refer to the same man as "father" but I don& #39;t think they& #39;re related? Oh man, I hope they& #39;re not.

Either way, brother treats her like a child/possession. Way more than even the 1920s (1930s?) setting would explain.

Okay! Time for more Granting You A Dreamlike Life!

I& #39;m on episode 6, I think.

I like it so far more than I expected to. I can tell that it& #39;s objectively not a great drama, but I& #39;m entertained.

Guh. Fine. I ship them.

Are you happy, show?!

The way Tianying& #39;s brother treats her is mildly triggering for me. Kinda gaslight-y, controlling, not trusting her, believing he knows what& #39;s best for her.

I hope he dies painfully before the end of the story.

Oh my god I hate him so much.

Ok, the romance between Tianying and Xu Xingcheng(?) is kind of adorable. If I didn& #39;t ship him with Luo Fusheng, I would definitely ship these two.

I know love triangles are going to steal the joy from this, though.

Luo Fusheng found out that he and his bff are in love with the same woman and I almost feel sad for him? But he was such an arrogant bag of dicks to her and she has no interest in him, so I don& #39;t feel that sad for him.

It vaguely seems like he& #39;s gonna give up, though?

I mean, probably not since it& #39;s only episode 8 and drama probably wants to test the friendship between Luo Fusheng and Xu Xingcheng or some nonsense.

The story started with Tianying& #39;s granddaughter arguing with Chef Zhu Yilong and she started telling him her grandmother& #39;s story. So, all of this 1920s stuff is that story. But it& #39;s really weird that we haven& #39;t gone back to granddaughter in present time since that first episode.

It& #39;s also a little weird that granddaughter and the Chef are played by the same actors as Tianying and Luo Fusheng.

Don& #39;t do this to me, drama.

Don& #39;t do this to me, drama. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable=

I don& #39;t for a second believe that they can& #39;t recognize each other with the masks on...

What the fuck he just got shot

What?! They know they both like the same girl and they& #39;re talking about it like grown-ups and aren& #39;t gonna let it ruin their friendship THIS IS THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE LOVE TRIANGLE.

A couple more episodes before bed!

Luo Fusheng continues to be an adorable bag of dicks. Kinda dispointed that getting shot and almost dying didn& #39;t improve his personality.

Every scene of this drama that passes without Tianying& #39;s brother getting repeatedly punched in the face is a travesty.

The rivalry and competition between the two dudes to win the girl& #39;s affections would be kinda awesome and cute if she actually liked both of them. But she& #39;s already fallen in love with Xu Xingcheng and actively dislikes Luo Fusheng.

This other woman is horrible. She& #39;s in love with Luo Fusheng and can& #39;t take a fucking hint, so she& #39;s treating Tianying like shit out of jealousy and oh my god I hate love triangles.

Holy shit the only way this drama will have a happy ending is if this horrible woman and Tianying& #39;s brother die in a fire.

Hong Lan (the horrible woman). I fucking hate this character. I hate jealous women in dramas who ruin other people& #39;s lives because they can& #39;t fucking take no for an answer.

This bitch is gonna ruin this drama for me.

The rage I feel at Hong Lan and Tianying& #39;s asshole brother...

Holy shit I hate this.

Brother& #39;s name is Tianci.

I don& #39;t know if I& #39;m gonna make it through all 40 episodes of Tianci and Hong Lan.

This is the first drama to give me this much hate/anxiety.

Tianci is legit triggering for me.

Hong Lan is just a terrible person.

Please just get back to Luo Fusheng being an adorable asshole with Xu Xingcheng, drama.

WHY ARE THERE SUDDENLY WOLVES?! WHY IS THIS DRAMA SO STUPID?!
