Came across this post on TikTok on my fyp, that I just ran here straight to post.
It’s nice to have a fully belly laugh whilst rethinking life decisions whilst at my 9-5, so many dramas came out last night that’s a perfect distraction but one has to make money. So I sit and wonder and think and then this video came up and suddenly I’m not so sad anymore.
As the title implies, I opened a notes app while watching a drama yesterday and I felt the cringe at another level I started drafting everytime I cringed while watching the drama, those I recalled amongst others.
It’s hurting you — bite my hand so you don’t feel hurt again. Me: wtf? Cos I’ve never seen an adult or even a teenager bite another person in my big adult life.
Taking medicine via mouth-to-mouth, especially as the receiver is awake and alert: Me: wtf damn, these actors are trying. Imagine exchanging spit and other shits via mouth-to-mouth. Effing gross.
ML bridal-carrying the FL in public every effing time… someone’s gonna get an earful if there’s any form of PDA whatsoever, and yes, I judge those who do PDA. My only consideration is if the FL is clearly hurt and she obviously can’t walk. My biggest cringe is the 1-second distance of bridal carrying cos the FL is barefoot… ughhh.
ML/FL being shot at or stabbed in the back, and hospital scene they are lying down on said back… I mean, make it make sense please.
Unusual interruptions during sexy time… once the slow-mo hits, the leads flirt too long, best believe they are gonna get interrupted by a phone, a blind assistant who saw nothing but clearly did before interrupting, or finally the ML’s mum.
The slaps… from everyone to anyone. Wtf is really going on in vertical land?
NPCs and their endless yapping, which makes the leads pause mid-yapfest for 5 NPCs to earn their keep.
Every lead going to the bathroom every fuxking time. Y’all don’t think to pee before embarking on the yapfest banquet? Especially when your love square is also at said event to corner you at the bathroom.
The ever-handy first aid box and Q-tip ready for any sprain, beating marks, etc. Even in the hospital, the NPC docs and nurses rest while the leads help their partner with the dressing.
1 slap as revenge on 2FL for a life-threatening action she did to FL. Eg: 1 slap… this is for back then. Another slap… this is for right now. Me: really? 1 slap? I mean, there’s a phrase called an eye for an eye for a reason.
They just happen to have a contract drafted and readily available. Even if the other party has some revisions, the OG contract is signed instead of it being revised and reprinted.
Wait here, let me go buy the ice cream for you. Me: why can’t you go together, so you choose the freaking flavor you want among options? 99% of the time there’s also a kidnapping, which wouldn’t have happened had they gone together like normal humans. Imagine telling a 4–5-year-old to remain put or even an adult
The using body as shield for impact. You can use the time you use to push FL away from the accident zone to as well pull her to you in the safety zone instead. The standing to stare at a potential accident is also telling, then the knight in shining suit pushing her away whilst still standing in danger zone. Also, why must you use your palms to get stabbed when you can use the same palm to grab the wrist of the attacker?
Why are the doors always open? This one irks me to the core. The hotel room, bedroom, even the entrance door is always left open once they step in. What’s wrong with closing the door after yourself? Especially as the camera and focus is firm on the inside POV, a bit like the cameraman is behind the actors as they’re going into the place. Pls shut the doors.
Having a car or scooter beside you but choosing the classic running while holding hands. Me: what happened to your car, which is literally right there? Why are you running?
Adults throwing tantrums like kids. Parent of FL especially, sitting on the floor calling everyone to witness their unfilial and ungrateful daughter. Imagine being in your 60s and throwing tantrums that even a child at age 6 had stopped doing.
When the leads have something to say, but they gotta take 1 sip of water, and I have to take a pregnant pause while holding my breath just so I can be in on the gist. What’s wrong with saying what you gotta say, then let the recipient ponder on it while you take a sip?
The falling into the ML arms, 1 second the ML isn’t on scene the next he’s catching and saving the ever clumsy FL and due to the save she has to devote herself to him. The trope should be called “Falling into your Arms”.
Do you agree ? You can also add yours.

Let me stop here I was trying to get to 20, but ran out of mental battery to continue this post so let me just drop this.
Attachments: may edit with my pc later the mobile version isn’t giving me what I want.
Saw this video on X some days ago, and due to the recent Lip lock series at u/TxPep is currently and graciously updating us on I decided to contribute my own quota.
This was during filming of S2 of “A Family of Three”, with Zhang Chi driving Wang Yilei both arriving on set and also after filming.
Also good to note that vertical dramaland has upgraded to the point the actors have their own trailers yay.
Enjoyed S1 and looking forward to S2 of the show, the page on X has loads more routers and spoilers for S2. And I recall from the booting ceremony to closing ceremony was 1 week that’s a crazy amount of time to shoot a show.
Enjoy.
