Can it be a little colder now, please?

[maggie33]

It’s too fricking hot here. At least today it’s just 30°C, it was 35°C yesterday. Grrr... I basically spend my days this week moving as little as possible, drinking a lot of water and herbal tea, and watching dramas.


The Auditors

It’s a new kdrama with Shin Ha Kyun as the new leader of the audit team at the company that has a problem with corruption, because it’s in the middle of a power struggle between two brothers. A good older brother is the one who employed the new auditor because he wants to weed out all the corrupted people. But I mainly watch this drama for Jin Goo as the main villain – a younger half-brother, who wants to take over the company by any means possible. I only saw Jin Goo before in Descendants Of The Sun and he was a good guy there. But here he is so delightfully evil and he looks hot as hell with his new luxurious long locks. 😊

Only two episodes aired for now (it’s on VIKI), and I enjoyed them. I hope it will stay as entertaining for the rest of the drama.


The Rebound

Episodes 5 and 6 aired this week. And I have to admit that I don’t really care for the main pairing. I don’t hate them or anything like that. But I’m also pretty meh about them.

More about pairings I care about, with minor spoilers, behind the cut.

I care the most about fucked up relationship between Q and hot gangster boss Tos, because wow talk about messy and full of consent issues. And thankfully the show doesn’t pretend that it’s anything else but messy and fucked up.

In contrast to that my second favorite pairing (the couch and the director) seems to be much healthier and cuter. Well, I still don’t know if that pairing will happen at all. But let’s hope for now that it will. 😊

And is that a possible throuple I spy in the promo for the next ep? Probably not, since Meen and Ping are the established pairing. But it would be so great if that happened.

I also have very good Jdrama news. Two wonderful people on tumblr made fansubs for all the six episodes of the 3rd season of A Man Who Defies The World of BL.

Links to subs and raw episodes are here.

I already watched the whole season and it is cute and very funny. But it ends on cliffhanger again. I hope there will be another season in the future.


But there will be the second season of Tengu no Daidokoro with Kiita Komagine. Yay! According to MyDramaList page it will start airing in October. I really hope it will be available with English subtitles (official or fansubs) somewhere.


And I have two recs and two trailers.

Two fanvids for At 25:00 In Akasaka:

Hayama Asami/Shirasaki Yuki - If I Can't Have You

Yamase Kazuma - Little Bit of Love


4 Minutes - the official trailer for BeOnCloud new BL drama with Bible and his new acting partner Jess.

It looks intriguing and sexy, and I’ll definitely check it out. It starts airing on July 26, but I don’t know on which streaming service yet. People say it will be probably GagaOOLala.


First Note of Love - the official teaser of a new Taiwanese BL drama about a romance between a singer and his loyal fan.

It stars Charles Tu (who was one of the leads in History 4) and Michael Chang (who was one half of a secondary pairing in My Tooth Your Love). They look good together, and they are both good actors, so I intend to try it. It starts airing in August also on GagaOOLala.

4 Minutes looks great. I've heard of it on Tumblr. They also seem to be into Century of Love.

[maggie33]

I'm so excited to watch Bible in another drama, because he was my favorite in KinnPorsche. But I have to say that I'm not interested in Century of Love. Mainly because reincarnation is one of my least favorite tropes. And my to-watch list is too long already. :)

[profiterole_reads]

I haven't put it on my list either, despite liking reincarnations.

Thanks for the links to the third season!

For some reason, the Japanese series are nearly always the most difficult to find. It doesn't help that they don't seem to do business with the big streaming services.

Exactly. That's why I'm so grateful for those generous fans willing to make fansubs for at least some of them. I'm so happy that I was able to watch the 3rd season thanks to that. The 1st season is still my favorite. But I liked the 3rd a little bit more than the 2nd. :)

I hope The Auditors continues to keep you entertained, and that the weather cools down soon! <333

[maggie33]

It's supposed to be a bit colder since Monday. Like just a little bit, 27 degrees instead of 30, but I'll take it. :) And yeah, I really hope The Auditors will keep my interest, I miss having a new kdrama to watch every week.

3rd season of A Man Who Defies The World of BL.

How are there Three Seasons already? Wow! I'll put that on my list then, too. :D

the official trailer for BeOnCloud new BL drama with Bible and his new acting partner Jess.

Oh, that looks very strange! But Bible is a very good actor, I'll check it out.

My reaction was similar - wow, that's weird, but Bible, yay! I'll try anything for him. :)

Thank you so much for the link to the 3rd season of Man Who Defies the World of BL! ♥ I've watched through ep.4 so far, and I may love this season more than 2nd season (though it's all good).

Ohhhh, a 2nd season of Tengu no Daidokoro!!! ♥ I hope there will be a way to see it. I recently rewatched it, and I just love it.

I'm definitely going to watch The Auditors when it's all released.

Ha, same. The 1st season is still my favorite, but I loved the 3rd more than the 2nd.

Ohhhh, a 2nd season of Tengu no Daidokoro!!! ♥ I hope there will be a way to see it. I recently rewatched it, and I just love it.

I saw the message from the person who did the fansubs for the 1st season, that they plan to do the subs for the 2nd season, too. I hope they will be able to do that. Because I really, really want to watch the 2nd season.

omg, jin goo looks INCREDIBLE in the auditors. i am wondering if the story will turn his villain into something else - i don't know any spoilers, but his introductory scene alone was so spectacular; also he seems kind of amused by shin ha kyun's character in spite of himself. maybe the white hat brother will turn out to be not such a white hat after all, and jin goo's character - as awful as he is now - will end up on the auditors' side (grumbling about it all the way, of course)? idk why but i'm getting the good manager vibes about him... guess we'll see!

[maggie33]

You know what, after watching the 3rd episode I started to wonder about the drama redeeming Jin Goo's villain, too. And about his good brother having hidden evil depths. :) And I wouldn't hate that at all. Also yes, Jin Goo is so, so hot here. I'm really glad I started watching this drama, and here is hoping it won't go off the rails in the second half.
