The 2nd episode was wonderful. I’m really so glad that I started it, even though it still makes me very tense during watching. But wow, what a great script, and great directing, and fantastic acting. And I’m not talking only about the two leads. There are so many wonderful supporting characters here. And the antagonists are nuanced and well written, especially Dao. What an amazing character, I love her the most after Claire, who is my absolute favorite.
The cut version is available on Youtube here.
The uncut version is available on OneD website here (and I’ve just checked - you can watch both episodes there without logging in or paying).
Moon River
It’s a new sageuk about the Crown Prince who lost his beloved Crown Princess five years ago, and dedicated his life to finding and punishing people responsible for her death. And now by chance he meets a woman, who is the saddle-carrying merchant with no memory of her past, and who looks exactly like his dead wife. Also apparently there will be bodyswap later.
I watched the first two episodes available for now, and I like it a lot. It’s charming and funny and sweet, and occasionally heartbreaking. I love both the lead couple and the secondary couple. There are no unnecessary love triangles (and I hope it will stay that way). And there are so many fantastic supporting characters.
This drama will have 14 episodes and it’s available on VIKI.
My Secret Vampire and The Story of Bi Hyeong: Enchanted Master of the Goblin
If you like supernatural BL dramas more on the fluffy side, then these two Koren BLs are fluffy, adorable and have a happy ending. They have a somewhat similar plot, too. In the first one a sweet, naïve young man starts living in a house with four vampires. In the second one a sweet, naïve young man starts living in a house with two dokkaebi. And there is also a seductive and cunning gumiho involved.
My Secret Vampire has 8 episodes, The Story of Bi Hyeong has 12 episodes. Both dramas are available on iQIYI.
Last, but not least, this trailer for the Japanese BL movie 10 Dance looks amazing – gorgeous and sensuous, and sexy.
It’s about two dancers, who are champions in two different kind of dances – one in Latin dances, and the other in ballroom dancing. They are also polar opposites in terms of personality, but they agree to train together for an upcoming competition. At first they clash of course, but soon they become drawn to each other. And one of the leads is played by Machida Keita (Kurosawa from Cherry Magic).
It will air on Netflix, on December 18.

As far as the trailer goes at least, they really *look* like they know what they're doing! \o/

Ohhh, I'm very impressed. And it's good to know that the dancing looks professional in the movie.

Part of it is that they're getting the upper body movements right which is what the 'fictional' dancers usually fall down on even if they manage the correct footwork. There's a certain 'crispness' particularly in old time that is difficult to learn.

I am also drawn to the "fluffy" BLs you recced. I will put them on my list. The more fluff the better!

10Dance looks neat! I might have to resubscribe to Netflix next month.

I love how nuanced Dao gets to be and I'm so curious about Claire's backstory (I think the novel adaptation is translated, but I kinda want to be surprised).
