Taiwanese Drama: Before We Get Married

[tinnny]

I have been meaning to rec this show since I watched it when it first came out last summer. I soaked it up, waiting for every new episode to come out, and most of the time watching it half-raw before the subs were complete. I loved it to bits. So I guess this review is not very objective... (are they ever?)

I did see a lot of gifs of this show on Tumblr and yes, they were amazing, especially some of the racier scenes. And now, it is on my watchlist thanks to your review. But since Im very slowly making my way thru it, I think it might take me some time to get around it!

P.S - I dont know if you have already seen it or heard about it, but there's a korean webseries called Where Your Eyes Linger and I think you will like it very much. It's a BL drama and I've only made it thru the first episode but the tension is very very good! It's available on Viki!

Thank you!

I haven't been on tumblr in ages, I didn't know it was popular there. The popularity is totally deserved, though. It's a great drama. I hope you'll like it! <3

Where Your Eyes LingerI usually prefer Chinese, but for BL, I will also watch shows in other languages. Viki suggested this show to me last week and I took a quick look. I watched the first half of the first episode and immediately disliked their dynamic, so I have not watched any more yet. (I'm picky when it comes to unequal power distribution in relationships, which this seems to be, considering one of them is hired to stay by the other's side, and the son seemed very spoiled and pushy in that scene.) Does it stay that way? I might try it again if it doesn't

I have only seen the first episode so I am not sure what the dynamic is going to change into but from what I have seen (again on Tumblr) both of them do some growing up and seem to become equal in agency and then get together. I shall let you know how it does once I finish watching!

OOh I shall check out the one your friend recced!

That sounds very promising, thank you! <3 I will definitely try and brave it, then.

I started Sungkyunkwan Scandal, and the first few eps are heavy on the political "this is morally unjust and thus we will fix it" propaganda, but I am told that the longer it goes on the more it is about the relationships between the four main characters. I already like it, actually, even though it's Korean and I don't understand a word, and the subs could be better. (They're not bad, just... I am used to better from viki.)
