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.

#LastSamuraiStanding episode 2 is more cinematic, dives more into the characters, and has better fight choreography. It's enough to make me want to continue watching.
#LastSamuraiStanding episode 4 ended with double cliffhangers.

Damn, the end of #LastSamuraiStanding episode 6 makes me want to continue the story by reading the manga.

Although the fights were disappointing (except for that brief fight at the start of episode 5), I'm drawn to the fate of the characters, and motivation of a certain character.

I found myself something interesting to watch. A Korean reality gameshow between shamans, fortune tellers and similar. There are celebrities and celebrity shamans in this game.
