I have to go to Warsaw for four days the next week. Unfortunately for work, not for pleasure. And it will be a lot of demanding, hard work, like ‘10 hours a day for a week’ hard work. I’m already so stressed. Grrr...


So I was looking for something to cheer me up in the evenings after work. First I tried Checkmate. I watched 4 episodes. Chemistry between Hu Yitian and Zhang Yunlong is still there, and it’s beautiful visually with all those pretty costumes. But I don’t know, it doesn’t work for me the same way My Roommate Is A Detective worked for me. I found the first three episodes rather boring. The 4th episode was a bit more interesting and I liked it, so I will probably watch the rest in some unspecified future.


Then I tried Love Between Fairy and Devil. I watched two episodes, but they bored me, too. Yes, the female lead’s voice takes some time to get used to, but I wouldn’t mind that, I was used to it by the end of the 2nd episode. And true, the male lead is very hot. But I don’t see chemistry between them, and I was very disappointed that the body swap lasted only for maybe 15 minutes max. From what I heard about it earlier I thought it would last at least one whole episode.


And then I hit the jackpot with Novoland: Pearl Eclipse. I watched three episodes for now and I love it.

I loved William Chan in The Mystic Nine and he’s so good here, too. I find him super charismatic, and the relationship between Fang Jianming and the Emperor is very slashy, and I ship them already. But I like the female lead, too. Haishi is strong, resourceful and spirited, so I don’t mind the inevitable Fang Jianming/Haishi pairing in canon despite my other shipping preferences here. :)


And of course I have my actual favorite The Eclipse, even if it’s just one episode a week. Even though I still ask myself why am I so obsessed with the drama about high schoolers? I don’t like dramas about high schoolers. :) But seriously, this week’s episode was so good. I clapped my hands and I laughed and I made a lot of aww noises.
