yahhhh for those who LOVE intense action, mystery, thriller (horror?), adventure: HIGHLY RECOMMEND CANDLE IN THE TOME: THE WRATH OF TIME! Those who are fans of Gao Weiguang's Donghua Dijun from Eternal Love, would find this role a bit reminiscent of Dijun, but at the same time you'll find it superbly differently as well.
warning: it's a c-drama so expect an ending that doesn't end in rainbows and sunshine XD

Gank your heart (starring Wang Yibo of The Untamed) is a surprisingly excellent drama set in the world of eSports (which I thought would've bored me, but ended up being some of the best parts of the series). Highly recommended.

True! It's ( Gank Your Heart) better than Go Go Squid. I don't like the character of Female Lead in go Go Squid there ..she is acting like a Sasaeng.

Gank your heart, please include it. It was a surprise for me too. I never thought I would like it this much. Excellent. Really enjoyed it. And the opening song by WYB was great. Just loved it.??
