issenlloIn a bid to catch a lot more Wenzhou aka LLD clips on Youtube, I somehow ended up catching a lot of somewhat fantastical to seemingly delusional RPS (my characterisation) video clips for the actors, and incidentally learning a lot (true or not) rumours about the actors, other actors, and crazy world of Chinese entertainment. It's been a trip.
(I'm trying escapism recently.)
Anyway. I've also been watching:
Imperial Coroner (period drama, mystery, ancient-China-vibey coroner solving crimes), which is amazingly good: it's tightly plotted, logical sequences, starts to hint at an over-arching plot within the first few episodes, and the intelligent characters (including the female lead) are all extremely likeable.
The Long Night (crime thriller, dark), which I started watching last year. It is devastatingly good and also makes you rage, rage, rage at the injustice and unfairness of life. Stars Bai Yu, whom I didn't realise at first was the same Bai Yu of Guardian, because he's that good.
