The first episode of Awaken aired on Monday, and I plan to start watching this weekend. Here is the trailer with English subtitles. It looks good. I hope the drama will be good, too.


And I decided to check The Silent Criminal a few days ago. It's a Chinese wuxia drama about a search for a powerful weapon that has the potential to bestow its bearer with devastating powers. I watched five episodes for now, and it is entertaining and amusing. The most amusing thing to watch is the drama pandering hard to BL fans. It’s not based on a BL novel, but it’s clearly made with the same viewer in mind. For instance in the 2nd episode one of the main characters Long Yao wants to force the other main character Shi Jingyao to divulge some information. He threatens Shi Jingyao with torture. “Do you like it rough or soft?” he asks, and then caresses Shi Jingyao’s face with a whip. And they both like to push each other against the nearest wall and lean in very closely and look intensely into each other eyes. :D


And since I should be writing my Yuletide fic, my contrary Muse decided instead to give me inspiration to finish my pre-threesome The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty fic. Here it is:

That was a hard week at work, I’m glad it’s finally over. Thankfully I had Beautiful Gong Shim to cheer me up in the evenings. I’m almost finished, I have three last episodes to watch.

And my to watch list is wall to wall Nam Goong Min’s dramas. It looks like this:

The Girl Who Sees Smells

Falsify

My Secret Hotel - I didn’t plan to watch this drama, but then I saw these gifs on tumblr and yeah... Mmmm, yeah... Wait, what was I saying? I’m sorry, but Nam Goong Min’s perfect abs are very distracting. 😊

The Undateables - I’m torn about this one. Reviews almost universally say it’s bad, but I’m so in love I’m willing to try it anyway. 😊

And of course his newest crime drama Awaken, which will be available on VIKI, yay!


But I want to watch a few other things as well.

The Crown – the 4th season is on Netflix, and it’s about Diana and Gillian Anderson’s Margaret Thatcher. I plan to watch at least the first episode this weekend.


Craving You – it’s a Taiwanese BL drama about the adults, and not high-schoolers, of course I’m watching it. 😊 It’s about a pastry chef and an internet celebrity singer. I watched the first two episodes yesterday and I like it. And the main actors are both handsome and have nice chemistry.

It’s on VIKI here, but only the first episode is available for people without Standard Pass.


The Silent Criminal – a Chinese wuxia drama. I noticed it on VIKI’s coming soon list because of that pic:



I mean, don’t they look as if they’re about to kiss? 😊

And then I watched the trailer and it’s very slashy and looks entertaining. And it’s only 13 episodes long. It will be available on VIKI here.
