Damn it, I can't move on from #TheLegendOfShenLi . The only drama that did that to me was Mysterious Lotus Casebook. Took me weeks to get over that one.
It's a little puzzling cos Shen Li had a lot of flaws that I disliked, but the positives overpowered it. I loved Lin Geng Xin's performance (oddly was warned that he's a bad actor) and loved his character's Xing Zhi's arc so, so much. And the themes of loneliness and desire for a simple life with your loved ones.

My fav expression of his is him sulking when Shen Li is 'lets get back to work' after they had their passionate night 🤭
