ShortCircuit

There's no actual FL in it so far (almost halfway through). There is a female character in a pretty strong support role (they're presenting it as main in the cast list, but IMHO it hasn't been, not until now anyway; there's still time for that to change).

But yes, she's a strong self-business-owning woman, who takes care of little silly brother and cares for his friends, and who's pretty rich by her own means, too. And she can hold her own in a brawl too (one that she started :D) I quite like her, She's interesting.

I did watch it. You can't trust anybody's motivations in this drama, LOL. Except, maybe, Feng BaoYu's, because he's so naive yet. And Mr. Fan's involvement is pretty heavily hinted at but at this point, there's no actual proof.

But I like the pace - and most definitely like the cat :D

I'll trust JiaMo's actions just because he's a cat person, LOL. And Lawyer Cheng managed to pet it unscratched, himself, too, there might be something worth saving in him (according to the laws of cats) :D

They realy take the cat everywhere, they should give her a place in the cast :D

I am starting to warm toward Lawyer Cheng, I think he can be redeemed despite his scumbag tendencies.

This new Regional Inspector guy looks pretty suspicious. Why would he help the prefect so easily? What's in it for him?

At this point, I kind of think Mr. Fan definitely had a hand in JiaMo's parents' death...

"Under the Microscope" just started, it's along this very alley. It's rather short, too, but well acted, and the cast, plot and execution are amazing!

Yup, he looked so frail standing in that doorway the first time he went back home... Even compared to Sword Snow Stride, he's much much thinner. He almost got the Lee Joon Gi jawline, LOL.

... That can't be healthy. I hope he went back to a normal weight after the filming ended.

The whole prison (guards included): "Turn a new leaf, never come back to prison!" ROFL

That was hilarious. And the cat is so loyal. Must have a dog soul inside it, LOL.

"your name." and "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" are animated and they're pretty amazing. "Reset" is indeed a drama, and it's also very good.

They all have somewhat similar themes of time travel and redemption. If you're in the mood sometime, give them a try :)

I only had time for ep1, he doesn't seem to be pretending even when alone - so far. The ending of ep1 hints at childhood similar behaviour, why would he be pretending as a very young kid?

He might be calculating something, and express "normal" feelings, even with ASD.

This looks amazing. But it's so short :(

I'm loving the sister and hating the lawyer, if this was a Western drama, they'd end up together LOL.

Soo... After ep1, looks like JiaMo has high functioning ASD (probably Asperger's), he acts/looks/sounds like SRK in My Name is Khan.

I have a good feeling about this!

She started writing the clues to what happened to her when she first went back. He only had that journal to go by, so he tried to follow the timeline she indicated in it, in order to make sure they would actually meet.

It's a butterfly-effect type of time travel drama.

FL was in love with a man who died in a plane accident and can't let go of him, even years later. One day she falls asleep listening to the song in an old walkman she found and wakes up as a girl many years in the past who is deeply depressed and maybe suicidal, and who also might be the target of a killer. FL discovers there's a young man in the past who looks remarkably like her lover...

In that girl's body and using her older personality's wisdom she manages to turn around the destinies of a few people, until she and the girl switch bodies back. The ripples of the past changes keep moving back and forth in time, not settling down and causing larger and uncontrollable destruction, and she and the girl in the past switch a few times more, each time amplifying the effects of the time adjustment, until one day it all cames to a head.

I won't spoil the actual ending, because it's worth watching.

It's a bit like the movie "your name.", and also a bit like the cdrama Reset. Also a bit like "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" (I've only watched the animated movie, though I heard there are more versions).

It's good, do consider it.

They kept 95% of the story in, and left out only the most blatant PDAs and the final few out-in-the-open actual 18+ scenes. (If we don't include the gore, but that's only my personal hang up, not everybody else's too).

The visuals are amazing, the chemistry is off the charts, the voice actors are the same who voiced them in the audio drama, the soundtrack is beyond belief, there are actual female characters who have arcs of their own and don't depend on men to be relevant, the raw drama is there in all its magnificent glory, and it's fun. Particularly when it involves the juniors - but WWX is always the chaotic god of well intent and strange outcomes, even if there were no juniors around. And they also nailed the Yi City arc, too.

And Xiao Zhan looks exactly like you think WWX should look like, up to and including that mischievous devil-may-care full-toothed grin.

The only interesting bit up so far is the reason of Gu DoHan's switch from lawyer to police officer and I have this feeling they're not going to expand much on it for now anyway.

I'm after ep 3 and I couldn't care less who and why they did it all. That's not a good sign for such a short series.

It's good. Don't start it now, wait til next Monday when all the rest of the eps are released and you can binge-watch it. (You will probably want to).

It's not BL, censored or not, but it's a good mystery/costume drama with nice bromance and an all-men main cast LOL. But hey, Guo Cheng (Lan JingYi) has a not-so little role in here too :)

Yeah but the power of the cat compelled him in the end. *trying very hard not to make a blue joke here LOL*

And why did those kitties look like they're purebreeds?! I want one too! (I have kibble and tuna cans!)

If Mr. Tao / Mu Yesheng turns out to be related to Zhang Ping, I'm going to be so p*ssed.

That had better not be a motivator for him to go against the Dowager Empress. He doesn't need one, he's stubborn and righteous enough on his own.

(Also, hi, MoWen! Missed you!)

After ep 20...

He didn't appear yet, or so I think. But I'm at ep 17, I think he's making an appeareance now. He might be the mysterious Mr. JingHu, who can also play with the Water Illusion. But I can't tell yet, as I haven't seen him so far.

Hong Yao. The character's name is Wang Yan, I guess MoWen is either his given or his courtesy name (I think it's his courtesy name, since he's calling Lan Jue, "PeiZhi", which can only also be LJ's courtesy name - his father used to call him Lan Jue as a child.)
