The Juniper and Elle ShowEpisode 63: Aspiration vs. Appetite - Drama Impressions on 【Love’s Ambition 许我耀眼】 & 【Yummy Yummy Yummy 宴遇永安】Juniper and Elle dive into two wildly different Chinese dramas we recently started — the glossy, deceptive world of “Love’s Ambition” 许我耀眼, where romance teeters on lies and class, and the unexpectedly delightful “Yummy Yummy Yummy” 宴遇永安, a time-travel family comedy with heart (and snacks). It’s a choice between slick drama or laugh-out-loud silliness.(00:31) Introduction(01:40) Love’s Ambition - Ambition, Lies, and Class(18:01) Yummy, Yummy, Yummy - Family, Food, and Fluff(27:55) Wrap UpDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

But somewhere around the middle, the drama took a dive into subpar story tropes and underwhelming villains. Despite this, we managed to make it all the way through, saved by a redeeming ending.

First, we unpack the first two episodes of the Korean drama “Bon Appetit, Your Majesty”, about a Michelin-starred chef who finds herself sent 500 years back in time, facing a tyrant king. There is much to like about the food and the story. Then, we take a brief detour into Chinese drama “When Destiny Brings the Demon”.

It deftly interweaves medical forensics and swoony romance, helped along by an appealing and convincing cast. Compared to the recent spate of C-dramas that drummed up high promise but became tedious slogfests, this romantic, often funny, and thoroughly enjoyable ride has Juniper and Elle hooked and waiting eagerly for the coming episodes.(00:31) Introduction(03:53) Plot Setup and Main Leads(13:59) Show’s Approach to Murder, Myste...

To indulge her love of all things Liu Xueyi, she decided to watch an older 2021 romantic comedy starring said apple of her eye. Somehow Juniper got sucked in for a partial ride, too.

The Juniper and Elle ShowEpisode 29: Misadventures in Blossom Land 【In Blossom 花间令 & Blossom 九重紫】 Liu Xueyi 刘学义 Ju Jingyi 鞠婧祎 Meng Ziyi 孟子义 Li Yunrui 李昀锐Navigating the recent spate of Chinese dramas with “Blossom” in their titles was bound to confuse us at some point. And so it happened when Elle mistakenly watched “In Blossom” 花间令 while Juniper pursued “Blossom” 九重紫. That doesn’t mean we can’t have a meaningful chat about both and have a good laugh over our mishap!

While echoing the setup of other contemporary revenge dramas, this show puts a distinctive Hong Kong spin on things. Elle is a seasoned consumer of TVB dramas, so she takes us through the twists and turns and shares her knowledgeable critique. Juniper brings the perspective of a less initiated viewer based on a sample of early episodes.

While not an extremely well-known classic, Juniper watches it every time it’s on TV and even owns a DVD copy. Since Elle has never seen it, this was a perfect opportunity to get a fresh perspective on an old favorite.

Watching Ryan Ding and Esther Yu in Love Game in Eastern Fantasy 永夜星河 recently sparked Juniper’s renewed interest in the show. Although she finds it a tad long and some bits less than stellar, it turned out to be a pleasant romp overall and a great complementary drama to watch with Love Game in Eastern Fantasy.

Because Elle is terrified of horror, we compromised with the mostly harmless but highly entertaining 1944 film The Uninvited, which is our discussion topic in this episode. A film that is at once moody, romantic, and witty, The Uninvited stands the test of time. It’s also notable for spawning a beautiful popular song called Stella by Starlight.

As a childhood mythology enthusiast, Juniper was excited to check out this modern-day take on Greek Gods and their petty shenanigans, and Elle gamely suffered along. Marketed as a dark comedy, the show struck us as neither particularly funny nor entertaining. It tried to be too much and ended up being not much of anything.
