Watching drama. Even when they are a pair of minor characters, it's nice to see the show goes against the norm, and it's the short chubby police detective who's good at solving crime instead of the taller prettier one.

TIL there is a Chinese live-action adaption of a Japanese manga about a game invented in China 2500 years ago.

This one looks interesting. I found out about it by reading the wiki of the lead actor - Junichi Okada (who's also a martial artist and fight choreographer).

Last Samurai Standing | Official Teaser | Netflix

Watched the first episode of #LastSamuraiStanding , didn't find it particularly interesting, neither the plot nor the fights managed to draw me in.

#JunichiOkada has aged well, he looks good with beard. The last #jdrama I watched with him in it was from the 2000s.

@kopio I find with a huge number of series that the pilot episode doesn't hook me and I need to watch two or three episodes before it finds its way.

This frustrates me, because the job of a pilot is to get you hooked!

I'm glad I stuck with #LastSamuraiStanding
