Romance of Tiger and Rose not yet, but it's already on my list. I'm halfway through The Eight but lost momentum because I was busy playing catch up with LAR lol
Go Ahead...hmmm. I'm not really a fan of slice of life dramas and generally for C-dramas, I prefer historical/ costume rather than modern unless it has a really good cast and thrilling plot.
I have tonnes of shows on my PTW but I realise that watching older dramas can be a lonely experience because there are no more exciting discussions in the comments board to accompany the journey :D

Thank you for the very insightful and educational article. I really learned a lot from it :)
I seem to recall a K-drama a few years back, Phantom which is about criminal investigations involving a police cyber crime unit. Although I'm not well versed in computer science and the related technical aspects, I really enjoyed using technology as a central theme rather than just a convenient plot device.
Anyway, looking forward to more articles from you in the future :D

I'm planning for contingencies now, as LAR is finishing soon and Maiden Holmes is currently airing so will need to binge on a completed drama. Usually I need 1 serious drama and a few lighter fillers, preferably not all are on air currently because waiting for episodes is painful lol

Yup, I share your sentiments. Chef Fang sounds interesting, I haven't seen it yet. Might go check it out!

Thanks so much for your hard work, Alice. Do get enough rest too, we need you to be healthy and well :)

Btw, just something interesting that I noted back in episode 20+ (can't really recall which ep), where the cakes being served were translated as "kuih". I actually thought the subber knew Hokkien dialect lol

But it's all good and truly appreciate the great work by you and your team!

I often wondered the same thing... Guess this show requires some suspension of disbelief lol

I miss Lucy Liu in Elementary too, thought it was a fantastic series. The Japanese version, Miss Sherlock is not bad as well. These women did a great job in portraying complex and multi-dimensional characters.

The 11th incarnation, set in 2020. My wishful thinking :P

This looks like quirky fun!
OK, let's give this a try lol

Yes! Ever since he appeared, the entire mood changed and actually became more relaxed and hilarious. It's nice to have a break from the stress. Teng She is the coolest character on the show :)

Oh yes, I'm looking forward to Ruyi Pavilion. I watched Legend of Yun Xi last month, really impressed with Zhang Zhe Han. I'm a fan of JJY after In A Class of Her Own.
Thanks for recommending Qing Luo, sounds interesting. I'll watch that once I stop being mad at HC/Liu Xue Yi :D

After this, I must stick to happier and fluffier dramas. This year alone watched too many serious sad stuff already :O

Maybe a spin-off happier version would be better, with a completely different storyline :)

Absolutely spot on. Playing a villain well is not an easy task, and even when it's done properly, viewers hate their guts for it lol
You're right, HC is a complex character, certainly the most complex in this show. Makes me want to explore more of this actor's previous works now.

Hahaha, I feel you.

I like this strong FL persona (in the finale trailer). Wish we could've seen more of it previously.

Wutong is a sociopath. HC displays symptoms of a psychopath. They both need professional help.

Yeah true. Maybe not such a good idea after all.

You're welcome.

Errmm... She's kind of semi-bad, turned good in the end. Something like that :D
