With Love With You 有你的时光里 Review: A Quiet, Female-Led Healing Drama

A spoiler-light review and overview of With Love With You, with reflections on its themes of sisterhood, resilience, and healing.


Tong Yao and Zhou Yiran in With Love With You.

With Love With You centres around Wang Yan (Tong Yao) and Wang Lingjun (Zhou Yiran), two sisters with starkly different personalities. Wang Yan is a highly successful account director in a creative agency who is independent, efficient, and fearless. Lingjun, on the other hand, is aimless, resentful, and wilful. Despite Wang Yan's considerable influence within the family and her insistence that the 30-year-old Lingjun obtain her medical practitioner's certificate before even considering leaving their hometown of Leshan, Lingjun defies everyone's wishes and relocates to Shenzhen, determined to be near her sister. This upheaval disrupts Wang Yan's carefully managed life, sparking conflict between the sisters and within their family.

Breaking the Shadows 乌云之上: A Review (Sort Of)

This isn’t a full-series review—I stopped at episode five, and frankly, that’s all I could manage. Honestly, I was looking forward to this series; I like Sun Li and generally enjoy crime dramas. With a cast full of notable actors and its connection to the Light On anthology, it should have guaranteed some level of quality—or at least been enjoyable.

Revamping Tong Yao 童瑶's Filmography & TV Guide

Tong Yao 童瑶's Filmography & TV Guide

I spent the last few days cleaning up the HTML on the Tong Yao (童瑶) ~ a film & TV guide for fans. The HTML was such a mess that it was causing issues with fonts and layout. I had to learn some CSS and get help because my understanding of HTML and CSS is pretty rudimentary—so it took a while.

The page was really in bad shape, and it was long overdue for a cleanup. This also gave me a chance to make some layout changes to the filmography links. I think it looks neater now.
