I binged I am Nobody 異人之下 in 3 days and howling watching the finale (internally, it's the middle of the night) and nearly falling off my bed (thankfully my cats didn't witness it).
IT IS REALLY GOOD!!!!
Please watch it!!!
It's addictive like a good shonen manga and there's so many interesting characters!
I have a soft spot for these two boys in particular:

Peng Yuchang: If the pen were given to you, what kind of life do you wish your character to lead?
Hou Minghao: If the pen were given to me…
PYC: Then I’ll… give the pen to Zhang Chulan. Whatever kind of life he wishes to lead - he himself gets to make that decision.
Wang Yinglu: Whoo! You’ve taken it to another level; you’ve elevated it¹!
PYC: Yeah!
Bi Wenjun: The original lines~ The original lines~
WYL: Let’s continue in order. Whoever’s finished thinking can go ahead and speak.
PYC: Bao’er-jie, it’s clear you’ve finished thinking!
BWJ: You’re done thinking.
PYC: You go first. Let them think for a bit.
1. 升华
WYL: Alright. Then… Then, I hope Baobao will experience the natural order of life: birth, aging, illness, and death. [She’ll] have her own parents and grandparents.
HMH: Mm… Yet on the contrary, I feel that, actually… Uh… Because, just, Wang Ye knows the Fenghou Qimen, right? And he can also divine the events that will happen in the future. In truth, I feel that-- If the pen were given to him, I feel like… I hope he can… Um, when it comes time to make a choice, he can… um… lead a more ordinary life. Right, and then… Um… Just, [I] hope Wang Ye can lead a more ordinary life.
BWJ: Let Wang Ye be an ordinary fuerdai, hahahaha.
PYC: Hahahahaha. As “poor” as a billionaire². …Alright. Lingyu-zhenren.
2. “亿”贫如洗 - a meme about Wang Ye; it’s a play on the idiom 一贫如洗 (utterly destitute), which he used to describe his actual financial situation…
BWJ: As for me, I feel that… While I was watching [the show], I just really understood the sentence lao-Tianshi said to Zhang Lingyu, which is, “If you are given a choice tomorrow, you must choose completely opposite your original decision.” Right, because he is far too restrained by that circle he’s in. So, [I] hope he can open up and break free as early as possible. Right.

Argh! Almost ALL the I Am Nobody drama posts I’ve seen concentrate on Hou Ming Hao’s character and have nothing to do with the main leads. Yes, he is a nice-looking young man, but WTF!! He’s not the main.
Episode 5, Zhang Chulan gave up on all the Outsiders, but every faction is still trying to rope him in. In the end, he realises that Baobao has been there for all of this weird sh*t. Nicely, or not so nicely. But Baobao also realised her mistake and came to the rescue. But one stupid mistake leads to this:
He did tell her to stand still and this was the result. Luckily she can be saved. But he doesn’t really understand the supernatural world he’s entered at all.

Welcome To My Side
Movies watched in 2024
Welcome To My Side (2024, China)
Director: Song Hao Lin
Writers: Miao Qian & Song Hao Lin
Mini-review:
Welcome To My Side is exactly what I needed after watching several heavy movies in a row: a purely fun romcom. The initial premise is silly but also surprisingly hilarious, and the gimmick never overstays its welcome, cause it's used just the right amount of times. The dramatic twist during the third act might feel a bit sudden, but there's enough foreshadowing for it to work. It certainly helps that both Yu Shi and Wang Yinglu deliver two fantastic performances, with outstanding chemistry to boot. I'm not saying this is the best romcom I've ever watched, but it came to me at the perfect time.
