Mike Angelo, Ju Jingyi splash into romance in Mr. Swimmer

Their posters department is really missing out on the memo of the appeal of a show about a men’s swimming team.

Mr. Swimmer 游泳先生 features Mike Angelo, Ju Jingyi, Hu Bing, Yan Yuhao, Zhang Shasha, Tan Chunyi as a group of swimmers and their love interests.  The series will stream on September 5th IMGO TV and hopefully Youtube. I

“My Little Princess” flips the Cinderella story

A little eye-candy never hurts.

It’s hard to root for Cinderella and her Prince when their opponents are this cute.

You know that annoying rich girl who thinks she owns the world as she tries to steal her fiance back from the sweet, innocent, poor girl who got in the elite school only because her family is the epitome of goodness?  My Little Princess 亲爱的,公主病 tells her story.  On her way to become that supporting female lead we love to hate, she stumbles (often literally) on and befriends a bear-in-costume at her favorite yaoi manga store, who just happen to also be only other poor person at this school and is hired as her tutor.

Okay, let’s be honest, despite the clever set-up, most of the script works on just the two leads being adorable most of the time.  Once you get over the female lead’s dub, you can just ogle at how gorgeous Zhang Yuxi and Mike Angelo (and several of the supporting leads) are.   The series is produced by Qi Wei and imo much better than the one she produced starring herself.

Sorry for the gif overload but I’m taking a break from not-really-vacation to share this cuteness and I don’t have good-enough screen-caps.

Weddings aglore in Azure Hill

The mysterious town near Azure Hills, where no wedding ever works out, and the Lantern Festival occurs every other day.

Tang Yixin, Wang Kai, Jin Chen, Xiaocaiqi, Yao Yixin, Zhai Tianlin and Mike Angelo are only some of the people (foxes) getting married in the currently-airing Foxes of Azure Hill/Legend of Qing Qiu Fox.

So far, I would say the three chapters are in reverse order of quality.  Xiaocaiqi and Fu Xinbo make a surprisingly cute pair in probably the best-written chapter so far, Jiang Kaitong and Zhai Tianlin pull off the over-the-top story with their natural cuteness (although his dubber is the worst), while Chen Yao is the only redeeming feature of chapter 1.
