Hey hey! ๐ http://givemedramas.com/2014/09/20/the-sunshine-award/ You’ve been nominated!
Thanks so much for the nomination! ๐
Just curious, but are you Chinese? I love your Zhen Huan recaps and was wondering if you were able to watch raw episodes and figure out the meanings behind the difficult words in the story!
You did an amazing job analyzing the drama! ๐
Thanks so much! ๐
Hello Heisui. Can I ask, who is the woman in the photo used for your avatar? I have to know. She is stunning.
Hi, she is a Chinese actress, Zhou Dongyu. The picture is of one of her as one of the characters she plays in the movie Gong (The Palace).
Thanks much!
Hi hi~ So glad I found this blog! Your reviews are so funny! By the way, how do you find time to watch all these dramas?
Thanks! ๐ Well usually I just watch them during my free time. But it’s much harder when I’m busy and can’t devote as much time to writing/watching…which is why my reviews have not been as frequent lately.
Thanks for your comments on Legend of Zhen Huan, which is the finest Chinese drama I’ve seen since the 1987 version of Chamber of the Red Pavillion.
I was wondering if you ever heard of an old Japanese drama, which I saw on NHK tv in Tokyo, back in 1973 (I’m 77) and have never forgotten: As I don’t remember the title, don’t know much Japanese and don’t live in the Far East now, no one has ever been able to help me. It deals with a mature but attractive nobleman around 1900, who hides anarchists on his property. The heroine is a country girl named Aki-san, who acts acts as governess for his pre-teen daughter Yumiko-sama, Aki-san falls in love with her employer, who in the end is arrested.
Unfortunately I’m not sure which drama that is. >_< If it was a taiga drama, you might be able to find it on this list.

Heisui! Did you just change your blog layout? I love it! It’s really pretty!!!
I’ve had it for about a month now. Thanks! ๐
Oh man, I’m slow to this! I need to visit more often ๐ but watching dramas have taken up the majority of my non-work hours hehehee.
We love you heisui! XD
Hi again!!!!! Thanks for your reply to my comment on male vs female bloggers. I think we need to check out anime blogs to see if there’s anything that makes the experience particularly worthwhile for male bloggers. There’s a vibrant discussion here: https://goodbyenavi.wordpress.com/2012/02/27/like-a-lady-females-in-anime-blogging/
In other news, here’s a Sisterhood of the World Award to stow away for the next award season:

Thanks for the nomination & for sharing the article! ๐
hi…………. love your reviews.. watched lots of good dramas cz of ya .. ๐
Thanks! ๐ I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the dramas I recommend!
Hi again, Heisui. I just noticed your comment about how you picked your name. In Chinese (if you didn’t already know), it would be pronounced ping2 shui3, (ping with 2nd (rising) tone, and shui with 3rd (down-up) tone). The meaning would be about the same as in Japanese. There is a phrase in a Chinese poem that your name reminds me of๏ผ ๅฎ้่ด่ฟ “ning jing zhi yuan” which I translate as “a calm heart will carry you far”. My translation might not be perfect, but I love this phrase and the multiple meanings it seems to have.
Stay strong! I love Jdramas too! ๐ I’ve been fanning over dorama since 2005 and it all started with Densha Otoko!
I need your recommendations for romantic comedies like Honey and Clover that have those tear-jerker/feels moments every now and then. And yes, I want Japanese.
I also hope it would be more recent ones as torrents/streams are hard to come by with the older ones (to my dismay).
thank you!
Hmm, Last Friends and Sunao ni Narenakute are also about a group of young adult friends but they’re not quite like Honey & Clover. Lately there haven’t been many Honey & Clover-ish or Orange Days-ish jdramas. >_<
Hi Heisui…recently Im reading your BBJX recaps due to KD Scarlet Heart Ryeo . Thanks for ur lovely recaps… your translate BBJX in your own words, well done dear. <3
I am so fortunate to chance upon your blog whilst looking into BBJX and after reading what you said about “Woman” I had to watch it right away. It made me sob in places and smile everywhere else. The broad band connection is on melt down as I download the ten episodes to cherish. Thank you so much!
Hi Nick, I am so happy that my reviews on Woman helped you discover the drama! I thoroughly enjoyed the show as well, and I’m glad you did too!
