An article citing Brooklyn Nine-Nine as having the most words per minute (as well as listing the least wordy shows) begs the question as to how much dialogue influences your preferences for shows. Does it vary according to genre for you? And what episodes without any/much dialogue stand out for you?

Do you like Star Wars? Disney is busy making TV shows set in the Galaxy Far Far Away: Acolyte, Andor, Bad Batch, Skeleton Crew, Visions... would you like a place to talk about them with people who might not be so much into TV shows in general, but will happily geek out with you about the five-second appearance of Glup Shitto in the background?

Wu Lei and Zhou Yutong in Nothing But You


Nothing But You (愛情而已) is a 2023 cdrama. It's a noona romance set in the world of sports: between Song Sanchuan, a professional badminton player who later switches to tennis (Wu Lei - you might know him from Nirvana in Fire, or maybe from Sand Sea), and Liang You'an, a sports company sales person/executive assistant (Zhou Yutong). He's 22, she's 32, and basically the whole obstacle to their relationship is that she thinks he's too young for her. That sustains the tension for a very long time indeed. :D I personally find both of them very cute (and I say that as someone who was indifferent to Wu Lei's looks before).

Is it a rec? Yes! Yesyesyesyes! It's so, so good.

Does it have a happy ending?
ending spoilers
Yes! So much yes. They manage to wrap up pretty much all the storylines in a saccharine finale, and I didn't hate even a single one of the choices.


Where to watch? You can watch it on Viki or Youtube.

I love so many things about this show!

A) There's not a single 'evil' character on it (minus one very short exception in one of the later eps). Every character has their own valid reasons for doing the things they do. Some of those are callous or misguided, but nowhere near as cliched as I'm used to from other dramas, and overall, most of the characters are just wonderful all around.

B) Many of the main characters are women, and I feel like the story is definitely told from a female perspective. All the women are encouraged to stand up for themselves and follow their dreams. The men aren't idiots either, though, which is just fun to watch. Of the secondary characters, I especially like Sanchuan's stepdad. He always has good advice (which doesn't always match Sanchuan's actual needs, but I love that too), and while I don't know the actor, I got the distinct impression that he must be a popular comedian. I also really like the boss's storyline. Overall, I like a lot more of the storylines and characters than I expected.

many more reasons, not spoilery (two minor spoilers separately tagged inside) )

Now I'm looking through fanvids and interviews on bilibili instead of starting something new. That's not the case for many cdramas for me, and I'm enjoying that, too. (I haven't found any really good ones yet, though. I'll keep looking.)


Some pictures of the couple


They always look this adoringly...


...at each other


He looks good sweaty and sporty


They're very cuddly together


Gimme a hug!


More hugs


Another hug!


There are quite a few kisses too


But mostly hugs :)

The upcoming cancellation of The Late Show has been in the news a good bit since the announcement. The network has also had to implement a bias monitor. It sounds like this will have a narrow focus and will look for specific references rather than possibilities of bias balanced across the network.

What cases of government interference in programming have you noticed or objected to in the past. How has this varied across countries? And does it depend on the type of programming? For example South Park did a very widely discussed episode on Trump at the start of its new season.
