羔羊的盛宴 | The Feast of the Lamb

with liu sansi刘叁肆 and qi yujia戚羽佳

synopsis: Wen Keyi, posing as a blind woman, meticulously approaches Gu Cheng, a conman and cold-blooded gold digger who killed her sister. Using her gentle nature as bait, she manipulates him into betting three million yuan in a game of hunter and prey, luring him into falling in love and letting this wolf, who never fails, taste the sweetness of love for the first time.

review: LETS GO!! full on revenge drama with a short episode count of 69 I believe. This vertical went by really quick but it’s also not the first one I’ve seen of this trope. Our female lead actually becomes blind to fully lure in our male lead. so good and this vertical has a satisfying ending. Male lead is purely evil. Female leads sister is not the only victim in this story. We’re avenging for multiple victims.

three verticals I enjoyed back to back

朝思暮時 with wang haozhen and jin zi (sweet with redemption and sometimes I just need verticals like this! I love how wang haozhen (sad puppy 🥹) acted in this. I’ve never seen him in a role like this and key here is communication!)

糟糕！大馋丫头心声藏不住啦 with wang yiran and tan yanyan (reading minds, funny vertical. tan yanyans character starts with wanting to pounce on ML)

another IP battle released one after another

synopsis: an leng has awakened to her true nature and needs to transform shen linyan "perfect second male lead" into a cunning, ruthless tycoon. yet, after successfully completing her mission and divorcing him, she finds herself relentlessly cornered by this scheming ex-husband, who has completely shed his gentle facade.

// i came across wang chengpeng's version first but wasn't too into it so i saved it for later. somehow a couple swipes after han yutong and liang siwei's version showed up and it was a bit more comedic? i didn't realize it was based on the same IP until i came across it again.

but i have to say, i really like liang siwei and han yutong. i dont watch much of their works lately but they're still doing great T^T and liang siwei.. there's something about him thats sort of sweet yet villainous lol

“your existence, may be the only key in breaking this deadlock"

那就下次再见吧 | then let's meet again next time with actors: bai yan白妍 and du yuze杜昱泽 (baidu) episode count: 59 tags: urban romance, city, strong female lead

synopsis: xia guishi, who suffers from an emotional deficit (fear), finds herself trapped in a time loop that constantly resets. she discovers that everything is inextricably linked to xie ci, a former classmate she once secretly admired.

short review: we're back with another time loop except this one is CONSTANT. something's happening in every episode while FL is trying to figure out how to break the loop and also try & save those that might have died. i'm easily frightened lol so let me say that i got scared a couple times watching this. this was a good and short watch. legit thinking they should've tagged this as a suspense?? also bai yan's character just goes for it, no fear, nothing.

oh the vehicles 🚗

also the way they say 謝家華 (xie jia hua) [matthew han's character] is funny to me because in cantonese its ze6 gaa1 waa4

i wrote about a recent lin qiunai drama here and a liu xiaoxu drama i like here and here

synopsis: The series follows Chen Nuo, a junior at a film academy who, guided by her calculating businessman father, crosses class lines to enter the elite social circles of Nanyang. Her target is Fang Jingxiu—the exceptionally self-restrained, twenty-nine-year-old CEO of the powerful Fang conglomerate. What initially seemed like an impossible pursuit takes an unexpected turn as Fang Jingxiu gradually begins to fall for her.
