In the middle of the drought that has swept across the entire Asian dramaland in the last few months comes the utterly awesome, gorgeous and addictive Republican era cdrama Be Your Knight and it's got everything I crave in my shows and have been missing recently.

The show is visually stunning in every single shot.

This is the intro to the female lead, whose semi-ahistorical shoes I love and who almost killed her opium-addicted fiancé/adopted "brother" when he assaulted her while being high. When we first meet her, she's on her way to visit his grandmother in a hospital with his blood still on her amazing shoes.

FL is not your typical heroine: she is kind enough, well-off young lady but not your typical cdrama goody two shoes, she has her own revenge agenda but she isn't hellbent so much she would sacrifice everything for it. I love how despite clearly being scared shitless and rattled by the traumatic altercation, she keeps up the facade and hides her fiancé in a private sanatorium, while lying to the grandmother through her teeth, and later drowning her nerves and trauma in booze. You don't get a FL with a trusty flask every day.

Cheng Che's parents were murdered in front of her and to find their murderer she needs the clue only her now comatic fiancé has access to, so she needs to marry him to get into his bank deposit box, but how, you ask, when he is unconscious? Well, lucky her, he has an identical secret Triad-like brother who imprisoned her a year ago.

The world is small, isn't it?

Was she really in love... Or was it only due to the love tribulation?

OMG! SHE REALLY SHOT AT HIM! So the gang and her trusty flask haven't been the only things she's come armoured with, she is also carrying a gun in her handbag. It's like a payback for his putting a razor to her face. Seriously, I adore her more and more.

AND NOW IT'S HIS TURN, HE DISARMS HER AND PUTS THE BARREL OF HER GUN UNDER HER CHIN! Should I call them a tit-for-tat couple or what? The show is insane for this. They are something else entirely. Together with The Secret of the Shadow Sect couple, the OTP of the year for me.

That sounds strangely like a compliment.

GUSHINGTON CENTRAL!!! Kabedon!

Now he puts it to her temple. First the razor, now the gun, he really enjoys shoving his weapons right to her face, doesn't he? I don't regret anything.

The moment she realises both the brothers are lunatics and she pestered into marrying her the crazier of the two and now she will pay for it.

The way they look at each other! No words said but the myriad of emotions utterly palpable.

Definitely a compliment laced with genuine admiration and respect.

It's clear the memories of his brother's assault came to her mind, but despite the similarities and uncanny appearance, Ye Ran is in complete control of himself and his emotions, maybe he is even too much sane, and even though she keeps provoking him, he never actually physically hurts her. Threatens her, definitely, but he never so much as touches a hair on her head. So far, he's the one thrown into jail by her for 6 months and being beaten by an entire gang, ergo 2:0 Cheng Che.

She breaks down, her legs can barely hold her. I like how women in Asian dramas are still allowed to break down, unlike what you see in Western shows nowadays. You can see how brave they are in their fear.

Since i watched the double a little over a month ago i got sucked into the world of chinese dramas … and realized a lot of the ones i was watching had many repeat actors/actresses. So i made a web showing the overlap i found between 10 different cdramas that i’ve watched. See if you can spot each show.

(Disclaimer: i made it in 1 hour sorry if there are any mistakes)

I'll pay that debt with my life.
