Oh No! Here Comes Trouble

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

Oh No! Here Comes Trouble (2023, Taiwan)

Director, Writer & Creator: Lin Kuan Hui

Mini-review:

I don't know why I put off watching this for so long, cause it's really good. It includes so much stuff that I love: laugh-out-loud comedy, heartbreaking stories, supernatural elements and, most of all, a bunch of characters that burrow their way into your heart. The dynamic they share, specially between Yiyong and Guangyan, is incredibly fun. I feel like I could spend hours and hours watching them doing whatever together. And that's exactly what puts this drama miles ahead of other similarly supernatural-themed stories: the character writing is so damn good that you don't even care about the show's flaws, like the weak CGI. It certainly helps that the entire cast does a fantastic job, with Tseng Jing Hua giving a particularly unforgettable perfomance as the main character. Oh No! Here Comes Trouble is exactly what I needed right now, and I hope we get to see these characters again in the future.

I love that he's not begging for the right to marry her but for her right to be free.

Words cannot express how much I love this.

Because it shows that his love is genuine; he puts her wishes above his, and values her independence and her right to choose way more than his wants.

They are truly made for each other.

I love that he's not begging for the right to marry her but for her right to be free.

AAAAAA

And clearly, emperor does not agree but he shows up at the wedding anyway, ready to interrupt.

And then he sees the veiled bridge clutching the man and I love smart people - he realizes DZ never would so it's not her!

Those two, I can't!!!!

YONGAN DREAM 永安梦 China, 2024.

[baoshan-sanren]

best cdramas I’ve watched since the last one of these posts in 2023 (and some I’m still looking forward to seeing)

A League of Nobleman (watch on WeTV VIP | watch on AppleTV | watch on Viki | watch on bilibili | watch on YouTube) Adapted from the novel "The Mystery of Zhang Guo" (张公案) by Da Feng Gua Guo (大风刮过) starring Jing BoRan, Song WeiLong, Hong Yao, Guo Cheng and Wang Duo. Definitely gay, but in like a very focused, we-have-a-mystery-to-solve way. Loved the acting and the plot; cannot believe people actually gave Song Weilong shit for his acting in this drama. He was aMAzing. The downside is that the editing grew progressively sloppier as the drama progressed, and although majority of the visuals were very satisfying, I never realized how crappy the quality of the light was until I tried gifing some of the scenes. The upside is Jing BoRan holding kittens. Enough Said. 7/10

The Blood of Youth (watch on Viki | watch on YouTube) Adapted from the novel "Shao Nian Ge Xing" (少年歌行) by Zhou Mu Nan (周木楠) starring Li HongYi, Liu XueYi and Ao RuiPeng. Love this goddamn drama. I adopted the entire cast within the first 3 episodes and then I spent the next 37 terrified that half of them would get killed off. There’s def some major character death in this drama my chickens, so keep that in mind (and not a canonical death either, from what I understand). Anyway, this is my fave genre by far so I’m never really picky, but this drama is exhilarating and gorgeous from beginning to end. Highly recommend. 9/10

New Life Begins (watch on iQIYI | watch on Viki | watch on YouTube) Adapted from the web novel "Qing Chuan Ri Chang" (清穿日常) by Duo Mu Mu Duo (多木木多) starring Bai JingTing and Tian XiWei. Just sweet and fluffy. The plot is easy and devoid of complexities, but very satisfying nonetheless. The acting is definitely on another level. The entire cast has bonkers chemistry, and it’s about time someone made good use of Bai Jingting’s comedy potential. One of the top 5 easy viewing dramas on my rewatch list.  8/10

The Legendary Life of Queen Lau (watch on Viki | watch on YouTube) Adapted from the web novel "Huang Hou Liu Hei Pang" (皇后刘黑胖) by Ge Yang (戈鞅) starring Li JiaQi and Li HongYi. Loved this. Although it doesn’t shy away from difficult subjects, this is basically a comedy from beginning to end. Not gonna lie, I mainly gave this a go for Li Hongyi, but it’s hard to even notice him when Li Jiaqi is in the room. There’s no shame in being overshadowed by superior talent :) 7/10

(yeah, after all this, I rewatched Nirvana In Fire again)

Under the Microscope (watch on Apple TV | watch on Bilibili | watch on iQIYI VIP | watch on Viki) Adapted from the novel "Xian Wei Jing Xia De Da Ming" (显微镜下的大明) by Ma Bo Yong (马伯庸) starring Zhang RuoYun and Wang Yang. Continuously impressed by Zhang RuoYun’s skills. This drama is 90% grit and tension. Drool-worthy visuals. Interesting plot. Sound mixing that gives me a Mo Ran style boner. Make your friends watch it and they will hate you. 9/10

Till The End of The Moon (watch on YouTube | watch on Apple TV | watch on Viki) Adapted from the web novel "Hei Yue Guang Na Wen BE Ju Ben" (黑月光拿稳BE剧本) by Teng Luo Wei Zhi (藤萝为枝). Starring Luo Yunxi and Bai Lu. This was so breathtakingly gorgeous. The chemistry between the actors, the visuals, the special effects, the costumes, everything is stunning in this drama. The romance is by no means original, but still manages to draw you in. Absolutely worth watching at least once. 8/10

Kouri watches Blossom, episodes 23-24

I’m on the edge of my SEAT

Ji Yong to the rescue! The scream I scrumpt! I mean okay a lot of people are to the rescue but Ji Yong looks particularly good haha

God damnit Song Mo. But then again in your shoes I would’ve done the exact same thing.

I’m so glad her first reaction is to hug him and not to yell at him for coming back

Hahahah omg poor Lu Ming

Song Mo: bitch you THOUGHT

Big oof

Oh this is gonna suck so baddddddddddd

People in this show need to stop slapping themselves. It never helps.

WYX has moved from the fuck around stage to the find out stage

That being said, Shougu, I get that you’re upset but I feel like you could’ve broken that news to your father a little more gently. That’s his daughter, y’know.

I feel bad for Wei Tingyu but like. Sucks to suck.

Okay that was maybe a bit excessive

Did Jet just die?

The Emperor really said to his kid ‘maybe if you were more like Song Mo, I wouldn’t have a migraine right now’ lol

Song Han: this does not look like a reputable music school

Haha Western Journey (2005) 哈哈西游行

Director: Ge Haitao Screenwriter: Ge Haitao Starring: Wang Xiang / Liu Lu / Wei Ran / Zhang Yong Genre: Comedy / Animation Country/Region of Production: Mainland China Language: Mandarin Chinese Date: 2005 (Mainland China) Number of seasons: 1 Number of episodes: 40 Single episode length: 20 minutes Also known as: Hip Hop Three People / 嘻哈三人行 Type: Reimanging

Summary:

"Haha Westward Journey" tells the story of Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng, and Xiao Bailong, who experienced all kinds of thrilling and fun things and finally reached the West. When editing the story, the author boldly borrowed methods from other art categories such as movies and sketches, adding humor and nonsensical funny things, so that people can feel the truth, goodness, beauty, happiness and warmth in life in laughter. The content has both the color of gods and demons and fantasy, and incorporates a large number of modern scenes and languages. In the interweaving of time and space, fashion elements and the use of the same place names as "Journey to the West" make people full of imagination.
