I hope the beautiful theme song for the movie 《花漾少女杀人事件》is a decent consolation of sorts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Su_QhdvuWA

I agree and think that would be healthier. Right now, all I want to do is watch something akin to a travel commercial slice-of-life short series of less than 10 episodes taking me back to Japan, akin to Tabiya Okaeri.

Yan An is one of the few entertainment artists of any language I have seen who significantly lights up on a stage when he is inspired. He enjoys what he does with acting, but his greatest passion is clearly for performing on the stage. His dancing is more than efficient; I'd say mesmerising. Such as when he was asked to dance and clearly managed to stun his fellow actors/actresses with his stage presence and joy (starts at 50:06): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9jDCmTuA5w

What you shared is definitely one of his standout solos. Pity about what happened with Pentagon's management and Pentagon. His cover of the Ed Sheeran song caught me by surprise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-bPGpsKJk0

I promise you Tabiya Okaeri will transport you to a Japan I know and make you hungry, by episode 2. Enjoy a trip to Japan without the air ticket, maple leaves and all!

I recognised your adorable flailing over the agony of waiting XD

Have you watched "My Lovely Journey" and/or its J-drama remake "Tabiya Okaeri"?

If you can keep the emotions of a detective when watching the first 10 episodes, the hints increase across these episodes about the primary person responsible. But because the story and how it unfolds is riveting and pulls at heartstrings plus tear-ducts, it's very difficult to be dispassionate when watching it.

Are there any other types of dramas you might be interested in, while waiting?

Lee Chae-min is totally nailing his role. Episode 6 is epic. I wonder how the next six episodes are going to top this.

Thanks! My final line of the review also took cues from the final episode and a specific relationship involving the FL, so it's not just random sentiments XD

License obtained. 28 episodes. Drama title also altered.

Remakes can be better than the original. Maō (Jdrama remake) versus Lucifer (Kdrama original) is an example of the remake being more streamlined and less draggy than the original. No one is saying this remake is going to be better than the original, but everyone who wants to watch this and is aware of My Mister is going to hope it will be on par or surpass.

It's a nifty fitting OST that sits with you and flits at the borders of dreaming.

For "This Thriving Land", it's a domestic smash hit for many reasons. And it's a lighter adaptation of the novel, so there are some changes.

At this point, do you still have the same questions as per what is under your spoiler tag? Or different questions?

Which episode are you currently at?

Great news! Looking forward to this

It was awesome! Childhood memories are made of careful investigations and nailing the bad guys. Then we grew up and realised sadly, the world isn't like that. But we can always try to make this world a better place and protect the less fortunate.

You're welcome. And as thanks, here is the 2018 live performance by Wan Xiaoli for a certain song: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1LL4y1u7ik/

Lyrics below:

沿著這條路 一直朝前走
在不遠的地方就有一個路口
你可以向左轉 也可以朝前走
但是你不能停留

不要抬頭 四處張望
這裡沒有你要的 好風光
不要等待幻想 更不要奢望
這裡沒人歌唱

沒有誰能 將你阻擋
豎起的拇指像山峰 莊嚴堅強
山裡藏著你的願望 像母親的召喚
那一碗 鷹嘴豆培根湯

背著背包 不停跳躍
不去想下一步會在哪裡落腳
眼前巍峨高山 腳下藍色湖泊
讓你安寧喜樂

燃起營火 溫暖田野
閉上雙眼為這世界的有情禱告著
岩石般的沈默 孩子般的無邪
心裡懷著春天

平靜孤獨 快樂幸福
在這條沒有行人的路上
那鑽石般的光芒 永遠年輕
永遠的熱淚盈眶

((Wan Xiaoli should have been in Woodstock in 1969. He'd fit in but alas, not born until 1971.))

I'll be reccing it to those I know. Definitely grew on me. Probably helps if everyone who watches it does the same :)

Solidly gripping. Strong performances all around, whether as leads or support roles. A crime thriller with a heartening ending. I gave up guessing around episode 6. If I had to look back and reconsider... At the root of it all, it's about what truly drives people to make the decisions that they do. The psychological underpinnings are also fascinating.

Attempting to describe it further would lead to having to use spoiler tags. Good thing someone mentioned it to me, or I would have missed it. It's thankfully less heavy than "This Thriving Land", and is a perfect length.

For the OST, this is what I have found this far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D55zYosT-lw

This pairing might work. They are looking very good together (Zhang Yunlong fan here).

Her styling is very apt: https://m.weibo.cn/detail/5207956260129693
