What are we watching next

I completely agree with you! Princess Royal and (especially!) Legend of the Female General are my go to. Can’t wait for them to drop!

Also Legend of Pearl - from the trailer it looks sufficiently dark ?

On the other hand…I can’t watch Lost You Forever Season 2  since I’ve read about the ending…too heartbreaking…

Now that LYF S2 is on its way, I have to finish up the first season. I'd reached ep 20 and put it hold for the second season. I'm also looking forward to Legend of the Female General (because Zhou Ye!!). 

Other than that, I have several dramas in different stages of completion I'm looking to wind up (or drop?).

 DefyingDestiny:

I didn't watch LYF but I just checked the comment section and saw you and some other folks from this comment section camped there. I might have to check it. Is Supreme Lord Hydra of Sexual Tension Tan Jian Ci? I didn't bother to watch because I thought he wasn't THE ml, I don't really enjoy Yang Zi enough for an angst SE drama. I'm willing to suffer for TJC though??

Yes!  Tan Jian Ci plays 9 Lives Xiang Liu, the 9 headed snake demon and libertine lord, Fang Feng Bei.  He and the characters are WONDERFUL!

It depends on who you ask.  For Xiang Liu fans, he is totally THE main male lead -- but remember, the title is Lost You Forever.  So, there are really 3 male leads, for a variety of reasons.  This was the first thing I've watched with Yang Zi, and I thought she was good... even if the character can drive me nuts some time.

I watched ep1 of Follow Your Heart and so far it’s not really working for me yet. The withdrawal is strong in this one.  But also because I watched the original Kdrama and it was only ok for me. 

Dropped Princess Royal. Rewatching LLTG and an okay Republican era revenge drama whose ML body was so hot, the director kept having him walk around with his shirt open.  LOLOLOL. I must admit I enjoyed the drama for that. ? 

Defying Destiny, Yes, the Mother!!! Both Mother and Grandma, actually. I always watch Episode 1, the carriage scene, then skip to the scene where SS sends the basket of cloth/clue, then straight to Episode 5 where she meets all three suitors in one night :). After that,  I'm happily following along.

My string of dropped recent new dramas is BROKEN! And it's somewhat related to The Double.

The drama is the contemporary As Beautiful As You, the loose connection is that the ML is Xu Kai, who was WJY's 2ML in Yanxi Palace. Their chemistry was so good, a few years later, they were put together for Royal Feast, which didn't do well, but which I like because it was, again, a subtle piece of art. The one thing that didn't disappear was Xu Kai's and JinYan's chemistry, even though their romance was frustrating because of the script. The way he looked at her was magic.

For me, I never enjoyed Xu Kai's works after that as much as the above dramas, although a few were quite good (Wonderland of Love was one of the good ones). HOWEVER, his chemistry with Tan SongYun in ABAY is very good. They created that magical thing with just looking at each other. Don't worry, there is plenty of skinship too but their eye-to-eyes and their ability to communicate reminded me of The Double's couple.

Anyway, hurrah for me, I didn't drop this drama and I actually chased it, especially from the middle to the end.
