00:00 Greetings and absoluteM immediately launches into a review of Summit of Our Youth, a second chance story featuring Sun Zhenni and Chen Jingke.
5:19 We shift the conversation to The Legend of the Female General led by Zhou Ye and Cheng Lei. Be warned: I have nothing complimentary to say about the show. absoluteM mentions Cheng Lei’s other drama Shadow Love, currently airing. It also stars Song Yi.
26:17 absoluteM takes a turn to talk about Wang Xingyue’s latest, The Wanted Detective.
31:47 I am asked if I’m watching any K dramas and so the discussion leads to Beyond the Bar which features Lee Jin-uk and Jung Chae-yeon as the leads. I provide a synopsis of the set-up and run through the show’s themes.
43:34 We then move on to talk about the “new” 12 episode C drama Twelve Letters. A bleak existential story about young people struggling to overcome their limiting circumstances which don’t make things easy for anyone. Wang Yiliu and Zhou Yiran are good in their respective roles.
51:10 I’ve started on The Princess Royal which is led by Zhao Jinmai and Zhang Linghe. So far I have mixed feelings about this. We opine about Zhang Linghe and his projects.
