Things that are awesome

Two lovely fanvids for Ho Tae and Dong Hee (spoilery for both The Time of Fever and Unintentional Love Story):

Since We Were 18

Why Did You Leave Me?


Won Tae Min singing the song from The Time of Fever OST: What If. He’s not only beautiful and a very good actor, he can sing, too. 😊


Sugar Dog Life

So good, so charming and so fluffy – I love it a lot. I’m very sad that the next week is the last episode. I wish it was at least a little bit longer.


First Note of Love

I posted about the trailer for this drama in July. And I’m happy to report, after I watched the eight episodes that aired for now, that it’s very good. It’s available on Gaga and VIKI, and there are four more episodes to air.

It’s a Taiwanese BL about a famous singer Neil, who stopped performing a few years ago because of trauma caused by a personal tragedy, and Sea, a student, who’s also a talented musician and a big fan of Neil. They start working together because Neil’s agent thinks this is a way for Neil to overcome his anxiety issues and stage fright and return to performing.

It’s an age gap pairing – Neil is 27 years old, Sea is 19 or 20. And it’s not really grumpy one/sunshine one pairing, it’s more grumpy one/a bit less grumpy one. 😊 I love them, it’s mine kind of pairing, and both actors are good and have nice chemistry.

But as it happens often with me, I love the secondary couple a little bit more. And here I have a very important question to ask Guardian peeps in my dreamwidth circle: do you want to see Lin Jing kissing boys? Because now you have a chance. 😊 Lin Jing’s actor Liu Min Ting plays Neil’s agent Reese, and he’s one half of the secondary couple. And let me tell you – he looks so good here. I didn’t even recognize him at first. I thought he looked vaguely familiar, but only when I checked the mydramalist page I realized it was him.

I’m putting two promotional images behind the cut – one of Reese looking very handsome and hot, and one of Reese with Thai singer Orca, who’s his love interest.

See more.

That's Lin Jing?! I wouldn't have recognised him. lol

[maggie33]

He looks so different, doesn't he? I didn't recognize him at all. I thought at first that I must have seen that actor in some other Taiwanese BL drama. But no, it was Guardian. :D

I'm holding off on watching the vids until I've finished the shows, but yay! \o/ (Btw, where did you watch Unintentional Love Story? It's not showing up for me on any of the platforms I've tried, not even iQIYI. Ugh, streaming!)

[maggie33]

Did you get my PM yesterday about The Time of Fever? Look for ULS on one of those sites. I watched it on the first one.

[china_shop]

Ahh, no, I didn't. That PM went to Spam, but I've rescued it now and am grabbing TToF and ULS. Thank you!! <3

[maggie33]

I forgot that I also have direct link for ULS on iQIYI bookmarked. It's here, but you probably have to use VPN. For me it's unavailable in my region.

Aw, Liu Minting! I'm glad he's getting work, and he certainly does look good in those photos, mm. (I had no idea he was Taiwanese, the things you learn.) Thank you for the nice post!

[maggie33]

I had no idea he was Taiwanese, the things you learn.

Me neither. But yes it's nice to watch him in this drama, he's very hot and his character is great. :) And you're welcome, I'm glad you enjoy my ramblings. :)

Ha! I had watched the first ep when you first talked about it - but no others were out at that point, so I forgot about it again. But I liked it!

And I did not recognize Liu MinTing at all! :DD Another reason to finish this.

At first I planned to wait until all the episodes aired, but somehow other dramas on my to watch list didn't look tempting so I decided to start this one. But I'm glad I did, even though waiting a week for a new episode is hard. :)
