[baoshan-sanren]

best cdramas I’ve watched since the last one of these posts in 2023 (and some I’m still looking forward to seeing)

A League of Nobleman (watch on WeTV VIP | watch on AppleTV | watch on Viki | watch on bilibili | watch on YouTube) Adapted from the novel "The Mystery of Zhang Guo" (张公案) by Da Feng Gua Guo (大风刮过) starring Jing BoRan, Song WeiLong, Hong Yao, Guo Cheng and Wang Duo. Definitely gay, but in like a very focused, we-have-a-mystery-to-solve way. Loved the acting and the plot; cannot believe people actually gave Song Weilong shit for his acting in this drama. He was aMAzing. The downside is that the editing grew progressively sloppier as the drama progressed, and although majority of the visuals were very satisfying, I never realized how crappy the quality of the light was until I tried gifing some of the scenes. The upside is Jing BoRan holding kittens. Enough Said. 7/10

The Blood of Youth (watch on Viki | watch on YouTube) Adapted from the novel "Shao Nian Ge Xing" (少年歌行) by Zhou Mu Nan (周木楠) starring Li HongYi, Liu XueYi and Ao RuiPeng. Love this goddamn drama. I adopted the entire cast within the first 3 episodes and then I spent the next 37 terrified that half of them would get killed off. There’s def some major character death in this drama my chickens, so keep that in mind (and not a canonical death either, from what I understand). Anyway, this is my fave genre by far so I’m never really picky, but this drama is exhilarating and gorgeous from beginning to end. Highly recommend. 9/10

New Life Begins (watch on iQIYI | watch on Viki | watch on YouTube) Adapted from the web novel "Qing Chuan Ri Chang" (清穿日常) by Duo Mu Mu Duo (多木木多) starring Bai JingTing and Tian XiWei. Just sweet and fluffy. The plot is easy and devoid of complexities, but very satisfying nonetheless. The acting is definitely on another level. The entire cast has bonkers chemistry, and it’s about time someone made good use of Bai Jingting’s comedy potential. One of the top 5 easy viewing dramas on my rewatch list.  8/10

The Legendary Life of Queen Lau (watch on Viki | watch on YouTube) Adapted from the web novel "Huang Hou Liu Hei Pang" (皇后刘黑胖) by Ge Yang (戈鞅) starring Li JiaQi and Li HongYi. Loved this. Although it doesn’t shy away from difficult subjects, this is basically a comedy from beginning to end. Not gonna lie, I mainly gave this a go for Li Hongyi, but it’s hard to even notice him when Li Jiaqi is in the room. There’s no shame in being overshadowed by superior talent :) 7/10

(yeah, after all this, I rewatched Nirvana In Fire again)

Under the Microscope (watch on Apple TV | watch on Bilibili | watch on iQIYI VIP | watch on Viki) Adapted from the novel "Xian Wei Jing Xia De Da Ming" (显微镜下的大明) by Ma Bo Yong (马伯庸) starring Zhang RuoYun and Wang Yang. Continuously impressed by Zhang RuoYun’s skills. This drama is 90% grit and tension. Drool-worthy visuals. Interesting plot. Sound mixing that gives me a Mo Ran style boner. Make your friends watch it and they will hate you. 9/10

Till The End of The Moon (watch on YouTube | watch on Apple TV | watch on Viki) Adapted from the web novel "Hei Yue Guang Na Wen BE Ju Ben" (黑月光拿稳BE剧本) by Teng Luo Wei Zhi (藤萝为枝). Starring Luo Yunxi and Bai Lu. This was so breathtakingly gorgeous. The chemistry between the actors, the visuals, the special effects, the costumes, everything is stunning in this drama. The romance is by no means original, but still manages to draw you in. Absolutely worth watching at least once. 8/10

Since you recently watched 4.07 to gif, was wondering your thoughts of Ben's performance in the scenes you did see in that episode? I find him so hard to read in that episode and think it's clearly he isn't invested, which is disappointing. I would have loved so much more emotion from Ryan at the lifeguard stand scene in particular, but he just looks annoyed IMO (sorry only asking a S4 q b/c you gifed it hope that's okay!)

no worries I can talk about s4 a little lol. I agree for the most part! to be fair, most of the cast didn't seem invested by then, but it's true that the lifeguard scene is very disappointing. he's reading marissa's last letter and he's just 🤔 then he gets up and leaves 🚶‍♂️like... not even the cover of into dust that's playing manages to make this scene emotional. I do like the scene where taylor tells him marissa's alive though, because when it starts he's weirdly bubbly and talkative (I haven't watched any other ep of s4 so idk if he's like that all the time but he doesn't even seem like ryan). but then taylor says marissa's alive and he goes really quiet, his facial expression doesn't really change but you can see he immediately stops listening to what taylor's saying and when he says "taylor let me out", his tone is different. it's like a little glimpse of the ryan I know.

if I really want to twist it in favour of RM, I'd say his lack of emotional reaction shows he's not over marissa's death at all. he doesn’t even process it (just like me!). I mean, I'm aware he starts fighting in the beginning of s4? and he goes to her grave? but none of the scenes i've seen shows real grief imo. again, it seems like he can't process it at all, like he's fighting the reality of it. and I think the fact that he was willing to stay in the parallel world to be with marissa fits this interpretation. he didn't even hesitate, like there wasn't even a choice because to him being with marissa isn't some fantastic world, it's normal. it's what's supposed to be.
