Oh that's a unique and weird choice! I wonder why!This makes me think that there might be a supernatural element…
Because censorship. It's a modern drama, so if it was set in China, that means 1. the police isn't that great ('cause they're blaming ZhiBai for the fire, though by now it's apparent he was also a victim, most likely), 2. people investigate by themselves randomly (let's be honest, SiYuan has no business getting into the detective action), 3. everybody and their mom are drinking like there's no tomorrow, gambling, killing people as they want to, there's a lot of prostitution going on, also the surrogacy part - that's illegal in China and there was a scandal about two years back about a big name actress who has kids through surrogacy and abandoned them abroad.
They wouldn't ever allow that story to be set in China. So they invented a separate country that is definitely not Thailand (tongue-in-cheek) but people would very much associate it with Thailand, LOL.
And yeah, there's the supernatural element, too, and then the probable mental-health problem of the ML, if they go the scientific way of explaining it. So there...
5/7 How are men so puritanical in the 21st century, do these two guys know sex toys have been around for a long time? And they being Japanese on top of that. But I approve anyway, since BL. Two more eps to go. I'm wishing Kaori on Fujisawa LOL.

Hostage Prince TTJ only, I have him as my account pfp on my personal computer LOL. He'll only be surpassed by CWN when he comes. If I survive til then, LOL.
This is a binge drama. However I decided watching it weekly is the way so now I suffer.
That being said, it kind of slowed down in the last two eps, and I really want to see PHU's redemption arc. At this speed of development I guess it'll come in another season...
still very sad this is the last live-action Rurouni Kenshin film to be released (at least that we're aware of…
They went pretty much through the whole manga (at least the most important arcs, anyway). If they'd do another, it would be some random filler or side-quest type of story. I'd rather they leave it like that (and have it become a legendary series, so far pretty much the only manga-based-turned-live-action series that actually works great) than ruin it for the sake of milking it out the franchise...
I'm only interested in Cashero (seems like it's been forever since announced, still doesn't have an airing date), Hong Rang (hopefully this time they don't bury Lee JaeWook again as in TIH), and maybe Kim SeonHo's drama (been missing him since the scandal).
But only Hong Rang has a tentative date sometime in May, the others could come in December if at all.
This drama looks and sounds interesting, I'll be tuning in (despite the romance).

But it's still glorious and I'm missing all of them. I wish there was a sequel, at least a movie. Something.
I don't think it's split personality either, I like my supernatural detective pair :D
And the comedic moments in the first ep are also cute, LOL. But did they just forget about all the villagers who got taken by the demons?!
PS I had almost forgotten how good the OST is...

But it's so worth it.

The rest of the list is kind of meh.
