I'm watching XC on WeTV, up to 15 so far. FW is on Tencent YT, not sure why it isn't on WeTV since they're both owned by the same company.
I'll probably continue again over the weekend. For now, wanted a bit of variety from historicals and palace politics. Looking at the upcoming list, I think the epic wuxias and xianxias will only get shown on 2021, so XC is probably the last one for the year.

You are totally right. That is the only scene that gave me a heart attack yet made me laugh out loud. Truly a wtf cinematic moment lol

I'm putting Legend of Xiao Chuo on hold, indefinitely. Need to take a breather from (angsty) historicals and watch contemporary stuff for a change. Yes, will binge on Detective first since all eps are out. FW is on YT, so will wait for more eps later on to binge on.

Lol, just a tiny bit better...
I've watched ep 1 of Fearless Whispers and I gotta say, I'm hooked! I can't believe I'm watching Qing/ Republican dramas that I actually enjoy!!

Haha, omg, even in my part of the world we felt the drama unfolding. At least there's no screenwriters to blame xD

Now that the election is over, welcome back! :)

1 episode in and I'm hooked! This is surprisingly good stuff! I can't believe it but this makes it 2 really good dramas that I'm currently watching, based on an era that I absolutely dislike. Wow.

Sounds great!!! Been waiting for the longest time for this :D

Long time no see, buddy! Hope you've been well :)

Detective is up on iQiyi, yay! Gonna feast on that now xD

Hopefully he grows up and reduces the angst for us.

Fantastic, thanks for sharing :)
Prince Su looks great in suit and tie (Fun at Ruyi Theme Park)

I totally feel you. I'm going to give it a few more episodes. Worst case, I'll have to skip their entire scenes. I quite enjoy watching the leads in action, it's refreshing. But the FL's family..... darn it, they ruin the experience for me.

Oh dear, looks like we'll both get into trouble here :P

Yes, agree. I wished the show would just cut the family part and focus on the leads and their careers :/

2 episodes in. I don't like FL's family, particularly the useless brother. Probably gonna skip their scenes a lot :/

Hopefully the adaptation and writing will be better this time lol *fingers crossed*

I have high hopes for Legend of Fei and The Winner is King next year.... but they used the same screenwriter for Guardian.... hmmm :O

This looks interesting, I'll add this to my watch list.

For me the biggest "villains" of the year are Jin Yuan Yuan, Shi Yue, Lin Ziyi, Xu Run, Wang Wen Tong, Wu Meng Zhang, Liu Xiao Yi and Chen Yu Qi - they are the SCREENWRITERS for this show, Ever Night 2, Qing Qing Zi Jin, Love is Sweet, And the Winner is Love and The Song of Glory. Way to go in ruining potentially great stories and characters :/

But yes, Hao Chen takes the cake for me - great acting by Liu Xue Yi and nicely written antagonist in 2020 C-dramas (until I've caught up with Mingyi's latest episodes, this ranking might change).
