Got Chipotle for dinner! I'm gonna eat and start watching Granting You A Dreamlike Life!
I've heard it's kinda boring? And it's a romance.
But it's 40 episodes of Zhu Yilong's beautiful face, so
Plus he's styled like this for most of it

Oh no he plays a giant asshole.
Well, at least he's cute.

Lol what?
What is the drama even doing?!

How come we never got Shen Wei riding on Zhao Yunlan'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' 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: äœ çæžä»äčćąäœ (NÇ xiÄ mĆ shĂ©nme ne nÇ) - What are you touching?
Other guy: ć€ćčŽäžè§ææèżäčć„œ (DuĆniĂĄn bĂčjiĂ n shÇugÇn hĂĄi me hÇo) - It feels good after years of not seeing it. (The subs say: "After all these years, the handles are still good."
)

)
I'm not sure what purpose the second äœ (nÇ - you) serves in that first line. It doesn't sound like that's what he's saying. The sentence ends on more of an "ah" sound. ć, maybe?
This drama has Chinese hardsubs, so it's gonna take me twice as long to watch it since I'll be so tempted to look up grammar and vocab every 9 seconds.
Oh well.
Oh well.
I really like the friendship of these two dudes. But I'm pretty sure they go after the same woman, so... forget that, I guess.
I have no idea what's happening so far in this drama, but Zhu Yilong is really, very attractive.
Also, I love this friendship so much.
Drama, please don'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'll just be disappointed, but they're the best couple in this.

Why, drama?! äžșä»äč?!?!?!?! ăȘăă§?!?!?!?!?!?!
Zhu Yilong'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'm struggling to figure out their relationship. She calls him ć„ (brother) and they both refer to the same man as "father" but I don't think they're related? Oh man, I hope they'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'm on episode 6, I think.
I like it so far more than I expected to. I can tell that it's objectively not a great drama, but I'm entertained.

Guh. Fine. I ship them.
Are you happy, show?!

The way Tianying's brother treats her is mildly triggering for me. Kinda gaslight-y, controlling, not trusting her, believing he knows what'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'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't feel that sad for him.
It vaguely seems like he's gonna give up, though?
I mean, probably not since it'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's granddaughter arguing with Chef Zhu Yilong and she started telling him her grandmother's story. So, all of this 1920s stuff is that story. But it's really weird that we haven't gone back to granddaughter in present time since that first episode.
It's also a little weird that granddaughter and the Chef are played by the same actors as Tianying and Luo Fusheng.
Don't do this to me, drama. 
I don't for a second believe that they can'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're talking about it like grown-ups and aren'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't improve his personality.

Every scene of this drama that passes without Tianying's brother getting repeatedly punched in the face is a travesty.
The rivalry and competition between the two dudes to win the girl's affections would be kinda awesome and cute if she actually liked both of them. But she's already fallen in love with Xu Xingcheng and actively dislikes Luo Fusheng.
This other woman is horrible. She's in love with Luo Fusheng and can't take a fucking hint, so she'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'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's lives because they can'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's asshole brother...
Holy shit I hate this.
Holy shit I hate this.
Brother's name is Tianci.
I don't know if I'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?!
