My brain refuses to watch anything but A Moment But Forever right now. I'm resisting it because I just want to prolong the time between rewatches so that it'll feel fresher. So, I'm watching the grim crime drama A Life for A Life. I know there's another fantasy drama, The Demon Hunter's Romance, but I don't really like Ren Jialun's acting and I'm a tad resentful that it is getting more attention than A Moment But Forever. It's a dumb reason not to watch but there you go lol.

Truth is, I just want to see more Liu Xueyi dramas, but his other dramas are not as satisfying as this one. Halp.

Trying to move on, not working! Lol

I had found a #vegan #chinese recipe that needed vinegar I didn't have. Now I have 5 year matured Chinese vinegar and I have no idea what the recipe was. Any suggestions?
