Watching and writing

[maggie33]

Why did nobody tell me that Sun Bo Xiang and Lu Zhi Gang from Make Our Days Count were in three episodes of History 4 Close To You? I found out by accident yesterday evening. I instantly went and watched their scenes. They even had a weeding in the last episode! And it was the sweetest scene ever. You can believe that there was much squee and a lot of aww noises and making heart-eyes at the screen. :) Pics and gifs coming up as soon as I download the relevant episodes.


In other BL dramas news - here is the trailer for a new Thai BL drama Cutie Pie. It looks so delightfully tropey. There is an arranged marriage, hidden identity, misunderstanding and jealousy – I hope it will be as much fun as it looks. It is set to premiere in 2022.


As for Korean dramas – I watch Signal right now. I finished episode 11 yesterday. It’s very good and I love it. And I have a serious crush on Kim Hye Soo. She’s amazing and has those incredibly beautiful, expressive eyes. I watched the 1st episode of Hyena maybe half a year ago, and I loved her there, too. I just found the male lead very annoying, so I didn’t watch more. But now I will for her, as soon as I’m done with Signal.


I’m also doing canon review for my Yuletide assignment. I have a pretty clear idea for a fic and I’ve written 500 words already. Yay for that. :) I glanced at other requests, and there are a few interesting prompts for treating, but I want to finish my assignment first.

I've just put Signal on my to watch list, thanks for the rec!

It's really good, I hope you'll enjoy it if you decide to try it out.

Signal is so good!!! (There's been talk of a season 2, by the same writer, but I think they were having trouble scheduling the actors.)

Ohhhh, I still have four more episodes to watch, but season 2 would be great, but yes, only with the same actors. And I'm considering now if I want to watch Jirisan - it's written by the same screenwriter, so potentially I could enjoy it. But reviews are mixed, so I don't know.

I went looking for Jirisan, and it took me a while to realise it's a new show. Awesome! It has some of my favourite character actors (like the head of the law firm in Vincenzo -- I love him!). I'll have to keep an eye out. (I wish it was on Netflix! :-)
