Shifu @absolutebl I was practicing my Mandarin watching Chinese variety shows and I almost had an aneurysm because I had to watch Johnny Huang and Gong Jun laugh and say “we are all in the same family” because Huang Xiaoming asked what 0/1 (seme/uke) meant. On TV. Wearing very sexy suits. In no BL here China.

So, I started my rewatch proper and it's just as deliciously melo OTT as I remember. I am ffing through all of FL's struggles and achievements in showbiz because I only care about the fucked up romance(s), so it's flying by.
Here is Ou Chen, having nightmares about a girl whose face he does not remember. Heeeee.
Just your usual, normal back story. Also, a man who is not the fixating type at all...
Bwahahahaha! You know, if this wasn't a soapy romance, this would make a hell of a horror story. Because this is a man whose basic beliefs about facts of life/people around him have been manipulated on a basic level not once but twice. His assistant is gaslighting him like there is a sale on the term. The best part is, when he hired fake parents which fucked up the kid ML into feral trauma and codependent clinginess of heela monster, did he learn anything? Nope. He decided to go for mark two and hired a girlfriend and faked photos and yearbooks and random witnesses. In RL, a person who had that done to them repeatedly is never gonna trust anyone. I mean, Ou Chen is a freakshow and a half, but he is 10x more normal than a person under his circs should be. (Side note - this story, like HYD, would make so much more sense and be so much more appropriate in a period setting. I mean, you can imagine him as some neglected royal prince and his assistant as a "caring" eunuch etc etc.)
Young man, I have such good news for you! Your choice of woman is gonna satisfy those cravings tenfold.
Ou Chen is SUCH a psycho. I love it.
He is doing it because he remembers doing it as a kid (it was his and OTP's meet cute ahahahaha) and wants to test if she's the same woman.
This is the most blunt break up I've ever seen and I am cracking up. I do love that there is no crazy secondary girl after this guy in the drama, mainly because if there was one, he'd just probably dispose of her body in the woods.
The flashback to high school days is glorious, because for once, it's not "psycho loves pure girl who suffers nobly and/or redeems him with her pureness." Nah, Xiao Mo, Ou Chen's one and only, is in every way as much of a psycho as he is. She's tough and spiky as hell and with a ton of issues of her own and difficult and frighteningly self sufficient (there is a reason that none of her various love tribulations ever dented her; only thing that did was the death of her brother.)
I mean, look at her with Luo Xi, the quasi-step, her other suitor and gorgeous gorgeous young Huang Xiaoming.
Bwahahahaha, our obsessive sees her on a street corner singing, has no idea who she is but is drawn like mad!
Young man, you are pickling your liver at 10am!
This is amazing!!! This is everything. Masochist has found his heaven again.
You can see the assistant going "oh fuck NOT AGAIN!"
PS I love that he's a big businessman but his outfit is idol stripper businessman cosplay.

Dramas I'm Determined to Finish
I've put these on hold for too long. Let's finish them this month!
A Lifetime Love
2. Heart of Loyalty
3. Sell Your Haunted House
I've had these 3 on my watchlist for ages! Being honest I'm way more excited for A Lifetime Love. Huang Xiaoming at his peak hotness in fantasy drama AND paired up with Victoria Song? Yes please!
Heart of Loyalty and Sell Your Haunted House are playing to my love of mystery and spooky dramas. I do love Caesar Wu and I believe Li Hongyi has a short role as well!
