Prediction: LYX's upcoming bath scene 🛁 with Neo 💞 will top her MJTY bath scene 🥰 .

Here's a recent one from last year...

Dashing Youth (2024)

This drama just keeps getting better and better. Neo has given us a little bit of everything with his performance. I'm even enjoying the villains in a love / hate kind of way. Lol 😆.

Hehe. Baggy suit. It's great seeing him getting his hands dirty in a project not concerned about striking a balance between acting and looking pretty. This will purely be performance focused.

No, I haven't seen BTU. It looks right up my alley. I've added it to my WL. As I mentioned in the comment above, I enjoy both long-form and short-form crime dramas as they tend to focus on slightly different things with some overlap.

I added TF as well. WJY is such a superb actress. I see Huang Jue has a main role, too. He stole the show for me in LOZH. Marquis Ping Jin is one of my favourite villains in Cdrama. An absolute warrior of a character.

Yes, Tian Tian was first choice. That's why it wasn't really surprising that Ai Mi was second. The creative team were clearly looking for someone in this age bracket. Julia Xiang was also rumored alongside DLW.

Thanks. We will have to wait and see. There are advantages to both. Longer crime dramas give you time to delve into the psychological elements of the criminal mind, and those that pursue them. You can also explore the toll on the victims, their families, and wider society as a whole. While shorter dramas are incentivised to have an intense focus on crime solving, the cat and mouse / pursuit aspect of an investigation. Either way, I'm ecstatic with this role choice. It's a well deserved opportunity for him (WXY).

It's great seeing that MDL rating going up 👏 .

Thanks for those lists. I've seen a few Light On dramas. And, by the looks, a few of those HBT dramas as well. Lol. I wasn't even aware.

I'm hoping this will be a longer crime drama. The longest I've seen is Reborn (2020) with 28 episodes. I believe The Knockout (2023) has 39. Fingers crossed.

Yep. There's definitely some TBG DNA 🧬 in this drama. Really enjoying it. Neo and LYX are knocking it out of the park.

Will this be a part of the Light On series? Usually, under 20 episodes.

Opening of 15. I'm getting The Blessed Girl vibes.

It just wouldn't be a Cdrama without lots of lying and deception. Lol.

Sounds interesting. I'll pop over and take a look when I get a chance 👍.

Yes, I'll do that. Filming will be complete soon. I'll go back a tidy up the collections. Replace broken / unavailable clips, etc. Add the comments and perhaps make a topic with links to every comment / collection.

Good point. Those reuters reveal a lot. I'll put it under the tag. Shame we can't do partial spoilers on MDL.

Pooh! Those trailers don't look good for the catboy 🐈. I remember that scene from the reuters.

Lol. STL redacting sensitive information.

UPDATED 13/9... (Put under spoiler due to certain reuters possibly revealing the ending)
