2. Painted Skin: The Guo Jingming Edition
Chinese Movie - 2020

Ding Cheng Xin. (A Very Pretty Boy ™ [who also looks somewhat like Hwang Hyunjin from Stray Kids, if this was a Korean film instead of a Chinese one] and i would probably date him) He Chang Xi. Wang Chu Ran. (ma'am you were not the focus of this film but we are going to stan anyway despite that) this sh*t had the audacity to take me by the throat and have me almost f*cking b a w l i n g at the end on my bedroom floor, and i let it bc i had no choice and there was literally no opportunity to do otherwise even if i did
the fact that this short film is basically the (censored and subtly implied) male predecessor of this very, very gay performance of a scene from the OG Painted Skin series (while also being the embodiment of this meme)! the secondary fact that in thirty minutes of screen time this managed to break my heart into tiny unrecognizable little pieces but do y'all see me anywhere out here complaining? not in the slightest
- favorites from the OST — 情失 (lost love)

3. The Untamed
Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes

Xiao Zhan. Wang Yibo. (every time i see this man as a Uniq fandom member i lose one braincell from how ethereal he is but i'm not complaining) Wang Zhuo Cheng. Xuan Lu. Liu Hai Kuan. (sir. that jawline should be illegal) Zhu Zan Jin. (if evil and in distress why bby?) the inherent homoeroticism. the kind of gay telepathy that i experienced watching all 50 episodes of this godtier sh*t in a little over a week. give me your gays, your lesbians, your bisexuals, your closeted queers yearning to break free, your tired, huddled masses foaming at the mouth for proper subtle representation—if there is one thing that could describe this experience better than the f*cking queer masterpiece that it is i'd like y'all to find it for me real quick and then bring it over here with an explanation as to why you would attempt to dethrone The Untamed and what is your reasoning behind said attempt
the fact that i rated this a non-existent 12? do i have to scream at you to watch it?
