I don't want to separate Chinese and other shows anymore, because there's pretty much nothing left in the non-Chinese category, let alone anything I was fannish about.

So, consolidated into one list, in order of obsession, best first. Rec posts linked from the show titles:

The Lost Tomb Reboot 25-32 of 32 eps (season 1) - First season aired on Youku ( Read more... )

Chen Minghao has a new show out, and I've already watched the first 20+ eps (of 40), so I think it's time to post a review!

I was recced this by someone on my flist, probably _profiterole_, she is responsible for almost all of my queer media recs. :D

Young Royals is a Swedish Netflix show, 6 episodes long, about Wilhelm, the son of the Swedish Queen, getting sent to boarding school and falling in love with one of the boys in his class, Simon.

I recently watched these two unrelated Taiwanese BL shows and thought I'd write up a review for both of them. They are unrelated, but since both reviews are so short, I put them into the same post.

1) No. 1 For You

We Best Love: No. 1 For You is a Taiwanese BL that several people on my flist loved, so I checked it out, too. (If you are one of those ( Read more... )

I had a lot to say about the ending, but didn't want to spoil everyone who'd like to discuss the things I've mentioned in my previous rec post (here).

So here's the absolutely completely spoilery post about the ending of "To Dear Myself" (亲爱的自己). And gifs. And more caps.

My detailed review (the spoilery parts):

I've been meaning to write up a review for Zhu Yilong's show "To Dear Myself" (亲爱的自己) for months. I finally got around to it now! \o/

I split the review into two parts - this is the first half, the usual "is it a rec" review type thing. It does get into things that happen halfway through the drama, so it could be considered a little bit spoilery. I ( Read more... )

It took a long while, but the subs for the Happy Camp episode with Zhu Yilong (from October) are finally here!

Now we can finally understand what that clothes rack game is all about, and watch Peng Guanying, Chen Weidong and Zhu Yilong fail at their xiongdi game even more hilariously. :D

Zhu Yilong's new show premiered yesterday. It's called 亲爱的自己. The anglicized title "To Dear Myself" is a little cringeworthy...

It's a contemporary drama focusing on relationships, as far as I can tell, so that should be right up my alley. It will probably soon devolve into Drama(TM), and I am afraid by episode 10 I will want to slap all the ( Read more... )
