I guess the holiday is upon us since it has been super quiet the last two weeks as far as new shows are concerned. I will actually be on the road for the next couple weeks so other than the novel translation post which will be posted at their regular schedule, the Friday Drama Roundup post will be on hold (or at least on update as I can sort of schedule). Do still check back on Friday though, because I will have my “Oldies but Goodies” recommendations for you guys.  

Long For You 2 (Chinese Drama, New)

The original Long For You was a C-web drama that aired early last year. Despite its name, this new web drama is actually a brand new story and NOT a continuation of the original.

Our hero is an Agent of Time who fixes issues that come up (ie. Saving someone so they are not hurt…or vice versa, make it so someone who would’ve lived, will die instead.) Without any memories of his past, our hero passes through time without any meaning and yarns for the opportunity to finally recover the memories he lost. Puzzled when he meets our heroine who somehow makes his special ability as an Agent of Time malfunction, our hero will eventually realize our heroine (who also has no recollection of her past) is the very key he has been searching for.
90’s Beijing Fantasy (Chinese Drama, New)

Set in the 90’s…obviously, this is yet another C-coming of age story where our heroine will bumble through lifelong friendships and first loves.

I haven’t had time to check this one out yet. The trailer actually looks fairly decent but I have been bombarded by so many C-drama with the similar premise this year that I am having a hard time getting excited to check it out.
The King Of Blaze (Chinese Drama, New)

Not to be confused with the historical fantasy The King of Blaze that is currently airing, this one is The King of Blaze set in the modern time period. Our hero is still the same fire god but instead of finding his way around ancient China, he has built an empire in the modern world to achieve his goal of saving his world. With the same cast from the historical The King of Blaze, it was kinda fun to see what everyone’s new role is in the modern setting. I do have to admit though that after checking out the first episode I felt the historical set up was more intriguing and attention catching than the modern one.
Original Sin (Chinese Drama, New)

Once each other’s nemesis, our two male leads, a top lawyer who lost his law license and a detective captain will eventually put their difference behind them as they team up to become a forbidden duo of crime busters.

First episode looks pretty slick so for those of you who like CSI sort of show with a heavy dose of bromance this one might be a good bet.
