South Sea Tomb of Candle in the Tomb series just dropped!!!! AHHHHHHHHH, I'M SO HAPPY!!!! Even though not all the seasons have been that good due to various reasons (and some uncontrollable), it's still a well loved and popular series (but of course, it's not popular at all on tumblr LOL). And most fans are very very very happy with this cast, including myself.
I really hope I can get to gif Pan Yueming. I always want to put him on my dilf directory, but never got the chance mostly because I was on gif hiatus when Day and Night aired. Candle in the Tomb is good, but really too hetero for me to pick scenes to gif lol...so not sure if I can find something to gif this time.
ALSO this means we'll probably get to see Tibetan Sea Flower in the next few months since all the rumor say that TSF will air after SST because unfortunately TSF is really the least popular tomb raiding show of Tencent (not sure if people on tumblr will be surprised to know that). I just can't wait to watch a new Zhang Luyi show!
Depending on how you watch this for me at least, it got boring as heck, then it would get interesting then roller coaster right back to draggy again. It’s broken down to two seasons. The The second season was definitely more hard to get through. I mean overall it’s a very very predictable drama, nothing new to the ceo/office love/hate scenario. Unfortunately with this series It has a love triangle. It’s probably one of the worse love triangles I’ve seen in a drama in a long time since you know the outcome. It also didn’t help that the main leads didn’t have much chemistry going on for them either 🤷♀️ Here and there it did have some cute nice moments but I don’t think it outcome the bad for me.
Promo Round-up: My Robot Boyfriend Jiang Chao plays a part-AI doctor in this rom-com with Mao Xiaotong. My Robot Boyfriend 我的机器人男友 airs two episodes on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays beginning on the 21st. No words on overseas availability yet.
