I’ve started watching Asian dramas and I need some recommendations.

Here’s what I’ve seen and liked so far:

I Hear You - The first drama I watched. It was cute and made me want to watch more.

Love O2O (series) - I loved the friendships in this one. I liked the strength of the relationship between Bei Wei Wei and Xiao Nai, although it was so hard to watch them kiss, but the fault of that was all on her. The sort of relationship between Hao Mei and KO was adorable. I fell in love with Yang Yang, Zhang Bin Bin, and Zheng Ye Cheng.

Good Morning Call – I liked the premise of the show. I had major second lead syndrome though. All the other guys who were interested in her were better than the main and I wanted better for them all too.

A Love So Beautiful – I liked that the other characters got some background and story time as well. I felt bad for Wu Bo Song, but I liked the main couple in this. And the relationship between their friends was so sweet.

Accidentally In Love – The plot for this one was kind of all over the place, but I enjoyed it. The second lead again deserved better, but I realize this is a common theme and I’m just going to have to get used to it.  

I Am Not A Robot – I loved this one. It made me cry. The main actor was so convincing in his emotional scenes and the scenes where he was having an allergic reaction. I like that some of the antagonists were redeemed a bit by the end.

You’re My Pet – This one was odd, but in a good way? I watched the Japanese 2017 version.

Addicted – I watched this one based off another person’s recommendation. I was disappointed to learn it had been cancelled because of the subject matter, but I know that it’s a continuing struggle all over the world for acceptance.

Pretty Li Hui Zhen – I watched this one just because it had Zhang Bin Bin. I really disliked Bai Hao Yu until just a few episodes before the end. He was horrible to Li Hui Zhen and she was so obsessed with this memory of their childhood that she was completely oblivious to Lin Yi Mu’s feelings. I may have been a little - ok, a lot - biased, but honestly, why go for the mean guy when you’ve got the fun sweet one right there? He deserved better too.

Marriage, Not Dating – I liked that he realized his feelings were genuine before she did. Even though I liked Han Yeo Reum, I think Gong Gi Tae and Joo Jang Mi were perfectly matched.

My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend – This one was funny, but surprisingly had a lot of heart. I loved the comedy throughout. I still cried a few times though, especially near the end. I wish there was another season, just because.

I’m currently in the middle of:

Eternal Love – I’m only about halfway through it. I love Zhang Bin Bin’s character, of course. The costumes in this are gorgeous.

Absolute Boyfriend - I’m about 12 episodes from the end. Just waiting for them to be available on Viki. I understand the ending is a bit polarizing for the people who’ve seen it, but I’m invested and I’m going to finish it.  

I’m open to pretty much any genre and time period. I’d prefer if the shows weren’t completely depressing though. I have Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Viki, so any shows available on those would be great.

Part 1 of ? - Runaways AU

And that's another thing. This plot could have been done before, but in this instance it definitely is new. I want to see more of Aizawa and Yamada's history (because the flashes we've already seen are heartbreaking), and how they've used that past to become the amazing, honorable people they are today. And I haven't even mentioned the rest of the characters they meet! They meet the 1-A kids so organically, it's not forced (and they're so frickin' cute!). I love Aizawa and Yamada's easy, comfortable relationship with each other, how trusting they are in the other's feelings and choices.

Okay, one quick fan girl moment -- indulge me. In the 8th chapter (?) in the middle where someone reached for Aizawa's wrist, his reaction, the wide eyes and fearful expression, the way he yanked his hand away saying "do not touch me" so stiltingly. Ugh! As much as I'd like to know his background and who the heck hurt my guy, I admit I was grinning like an idiot. Amazing, wonderful job, @qed221b!

“That kid that I watched almost win against Endeavor’s son in the Sports Festival - the one you failed to adequately protect in the USJ attack, if I’m not mistaken -” Aizawa tensed at Hisashi’s words as the man continued, “- that kid is mine, not yours.”

“Wrong,” Shouta responded simply, continuing before the aghast man in front of him could spew out any more bullshit. “Look at ‘your’ kid right now,” Aizawa said, pointedly looking back towards where Izuku was trembling, surrounded by half the class and counting, all their faces displaying worry for Izuku, contempt for Hisashi, or some mixture of the two. “Look at that kid right now,” Aizawa spat at Hisashi, “And tell me he’s still yours.” … (In which Midoriya Hisashi returns to claim what he believes is rightfully his, and everyone else tells him he can fuck right off.)

If you want to pre-order Colin Morgan’s audiobook FOR FREE, please message me or reply to this post!

I am a professional audiobook narrator (here are my books on Audible) and have a bunch of promo codes to give away.

Do you still have any codes available?

Yes! Please get in touch - I have too many to know what to do with!

Do these codes work anywhere in the world?

Yes! Just message me and I will give you precise instructions to follow.

What do I need to sign up?

All you need is an Amazon account. You do NOT need an Audible account, and you do NOT need to sign up for the Audible free trial to participate in the giveaway. An Amazon account is COMPLETELY FREE to create.

Will Colin get paid if I use your free code?

Yes! These promotional codes were given to me as an audiobook narrator to promote my content, but because the Merlin fandom has done so much for me, I want to give back by using these codes for Colin’s book. By using the code, Audible (not you!) will pay the author+narrator. So Colin (if he signed a royalty contract) will definitely be paid, and you pay $0, so everyone wins!

Is this really, completely, free? It seems too good to be true!

Yes! I know it sounds unbelievable, but yes! I’m very grateful to the Merlin fandom for supporting my work when I was narrating as bravenclawesome on AO3, and giving me the confidence to go on and do narration professionally. It’s only a side job, but it has been a wonderful and fun experience.

Can I support your work? How do I do that?

Attention Merlin fan video makers! I need someone to make a Merlin & Arthur video for Beth Crowley’s song “Living Without You”. I’m obsessed with this song and I think it applies to them really well. I do not have video-making skills, otherwise I would attempt it myself. But I know someone out there can do this better than I can even envision. Please please please. Here’s a link to her song. https://youtu.be/WO1zD86F9LE
