Interesting arts, but not so strong on the fantasy part.

-
91. Chong Ming Wei
Chinese Drama - 2018, 24 episodes
Finished: 15 Nov 2021
A short, fun drama to pass the time. The mysteries are pretty good, and the fantasy elements add something extra to the mix. Also, the big reveal at the end was totally unexpected.
-
92. Dear Uranus
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 3 episodes
Finished: 15 Nov 2021
