bingo_a I think the main reason that you fall into a show hole is when you finish a drama that's super good and you feel like there will be nothing else out there that's as good and so you can't watch anything for awhile. Then it came to me that the best way to avoid that is to start something new when you're close to finishing a really good drama so that you have a chance to get into it before the other ones end. Lol so that's what I've done. I'm almost done with LT2, which I really like and even though I want to watch the NEXT Lost Tomb, I feel like I'm gonna miss Minghao as Wu Xie bc i thought he did a really good job. I'm also only 22 eps from finishing Under The Power.
But anyway, I started Psych Hunter bc I've honestly been wanting to watch it for awhile but now that i have iQIYI, i can. I had no idea it was on Roku until recently. Anyway, it's super good as i expected that it would be. Burned through five eps yesterday. Republican era with a very heavy dose of supernatural stuff. We got our Scooby triangle of a clever sorcerer with amnesia, a weird doctor dude looking for his abducted dad, and a female police who is really only in her position bc her father is a warlord and she's the heiress. Seems to be good bromance potential, but it also looks like they're setting up the sorcerer guy (Minghao) with the girl.
I was initially a little bit leery of watching it bc Minghao for some reason, is dubbed. Like, no one else in the mains is dubbed so idk why they dubbed him. Problem is i got kind attached to his voice in LT2 lol. It has this cute nasal quality. But anyway, the dubber is not bad at all. None of the exaggerated acting and extra breaths and stuff like that. Plus, he doesn't sound all that different from Minghao's real voice, minus the nasal quality. It's irritating though bc this character is not entirely unlike Wu Xie, except he's more shifty, so Minghao's real voice should have been fine. Guessing their bullshit reason this time was that he didn't have time.
Hah but i was so surprised to look up the opening song, which is all rawwrrr metal kinda stuff, and find out that it';s SHIN. It's been ages since i listened to him, but i used to really like him.
It's funny that whenever there's a trio, it's usually 2 guys and 1 girl, never 2 girls and 1 guy. Even in UTP...the guys outnumber the girls. It's not a trio though, it's kinda Lu Yi, Jinxia, Xie Xiao, and Yang Yue, oh and the Shangguan gal so two girls and three guys. In the earlier part of the show it was Lu Yi, Yang Yue, and Jinxia, so again 2 guys and 1 girl. Are they afraid of looking like the harem trope if they don't have 2 guys and 1 girl? I'd assume it's about playing up the bromance thing, but a lot of the times there is zero bromance but instead a love triangle. For example, the 2 guys and 1 girl in that Upstream drama. That's exactly what that was lol.
Idk i'd like to see 2 girls and 1 guy just for shits and giggles lol.
