Never seen a vampire get pavloved into fearing cross and garlic by wikipedia lmao

I almost dropped this altogether because of the pilot episode and the awkwardness of having to watch the group and Oizumi Yo make the segments fun. (A bit harsh, yes) I came back to watch the episodes with Nagasawa Masami, TENBLANK, and Nanao--and I'm RELIEVED the members and the whole crew finally found their footing. The cooking, dynamic vision, and sense of size segments are well thought out. But what seems to be the thread that weaves all these elements together are SixTONES themselves. Their wits and humor are superb and have definitely caught my attention.

Ren Min is finally paired with Ci Sha! They had such explosive chemistry on The Rise of Ning, and both of them can act. Will tune in for this!

I felt conflicted when Makoto started to dress up normally, as a boy, upon confessing his feelings to Akira. It makes me wonder if he was unknowingly conforming to binary gender roles, especially when it comes to romance and dating. Can't fault him though given how rigid society is.

For some reason I can't quite explain, I find Ono Karin's acting subpar in this drama. I've seen her excel in other roles, both in dramas and indie films, and she undoubtedly has the acting chops. She was outstanding in The Pretenders and Hatsukoi Zarari, yet I find myself unable to continue watching this particular drama she's leading.

Tuning in for Li Meng! Still uncertain what her character would be, but I hope she doesn't get typecast as a villain in her future roles.

City Lives had such great concept and execution, especially in the first half. It really felt like a documentary for a segment of a program. The concept of a city as living organism also blew my mind. It was quite original for me as I haven't encountered a story like this before.

you can look up ecotvsubs on google and you'll find the website

I thought there would be something more substantial behind Ogimi tailing his boss, Mihotoke...

The world would be a better, brighter place if young women would just realize early on that there's no use fighting over a boy who doesn't have a backbone, and just men in general.

May I ask when did the production shoot this series?

The true emperor is the ML. After the FL accidentally fell into the river while she was trying to persuade the ML to attend the imperial court more often, she woke up and assumed that she was the Emperor. This is because she has been helping the ML respond to court memorials sent by the imperial advisors before her post-coma amnesia. The ML, seeing her enthusiasm in responding to the court's issues, didn't tell her the truth until her memories came back.

This is such a well-made web short! This is my third series from Director Huang Yingxiang, after Les Belles and Your Fukubukuro. I think she thrives best in showcasing visually compelling narratives under a limited budget. She's able to flex her filmmaking strengths, and you can tell she had trained for it!

May I ask if he's a free agent or has he moved to another company after leaving Huanyu?

Me too haha she caught me by surprise, I thought she wouldn't even give it a chance

Came from AvenueX's review and she's not lying: this series is an eye candy galore! Everyone's so handsome, I can just turn my brain off and enjoy the comedic madness.

I'm currently watching Story of Yanxi Palace, and I'm just in awe of Wu Jinyan! I'm glad I discovered her through The Double. Also, echoing your thoughts on LYQ: his storyline in Perfect Match took me by surprise, and I ended up watching his whole arc. And Wang Xingyue was super charismatic as Duke Su! I'm anticipating his drama with Xiang Hanzhi. 💗

You might also want to check out The Bad Kids! That's where I first saw Li Meng, and she always pulls off grey, nuanced characters so effortlessly.

May I ask what prompted them to re-edit some scenes? Was it for continuity?

Li Meng, Wu Jinyan, and Liang Yongqi are on a league of their own. Such good actors!

Got this, thanks!
