—-> A few words from AVV Staff.

Linja:

2024 has been a rollercoaster ride for me, but drama watching has never changed. In the midst of turbulence, I’ve held fast onto dramas to get through tough times. So, please, dramagods, let there be better dramas in 2025 with good script, directing and acting.

I didn’t watch as many cdramas as I’d hope. The few I enjoyed are Are You the One, The Rise of Ning, Joy of Life 2, Blossoms in Adversity and Blossom.

This year has been dominated by BLOSSOM, lol.

Hope 2024 has treated everyone well. See you all in 2025 as we drift through dramaland together.

Happy Christmas and Merry New Year!

Kappy:

I can’t believe 2024 is coming to an end. For the few who still casually read this blog, I gave birth at the end of 2023 so I spent the first half of 2024 healing from surgery and everything seemed like a blur looking back. Now with a toddler, the phrase the days are long and the years are short ring so true in every fiber. A huge thanks to Lin, Maymay, Dan, and Gege for keeping our discord community running smoothly, and especially to Lin for beautifully transitioning our discord to the next level with organization, bots, and fun activities. In terms of dramaland, I only watched The Legend of Shen Li this year and it was a fun great watch.

Happy New Year to all and may good luck, fortune, and happiness fill your 2025! Hoping next year I have time for more dramas! (Who am I kidding, no time for nuthing!)

WuxiaRocks:

2024 has been a fantastic year for me. This success stems from my unwavering belief in myself and my dreams. I consistently worked towards them, and I felt the universe supporting my journey.

I finished the most dramas in 2024: Sword and Fairy 4, Joy of Life 2, Dashing Youth, The Legend of Heroes, Hero is Back, Kill Me Love Me. That’s 6 total, all the other prior year, I think I’ve only finished 3-4 dramas at most.

To all who read this, I wish you a year filled with joy, luck, and prosperity in 2025. May all your dreams, even the seemingly impossible ones, come true.

While nothing is truly impossible, the spirit of that belief can be incredibly powerful. Embrace that hope and let it guide you.

    7. Unmet: Aru Nogekai no Nikki (J)
    8. Crash (K)
