Hi hello! I lie about what I'm going to post next! It's just what I do!
But this was super important because I'm not seeing a lot of talk about this show, at least not yet, so I definitely have to promote/squee about it here. As of this morning (in my time zone), all 12 episodes of the C-drama Couple of Mirrors are available on youtube with English subs. First episode is here!
This is a GL drama (which deals with anti-LGBT censorship similarly to Guardian or Word of Honor) set in Republican-era Shanghai. The main character, Xu Youyi, is a successful novelist, a charming and sweet and impeccably-dressed socialite from a modest background, now in a failing marriage to a rich husband. Her love interest, Yan Wei, is a former child soldier trying to live a normal life as a photographer and not doing a great job at it due to her less-than-sunny disposition and persisting fondness for military-grade weaponry. The high-society lady falls for the surly tomboy. Neither of these women has any fear and I love them for it. Also Yan Wei has a cat. GO WATCH THIS SHOW.
( If you need more details...spoilers for the first few episodes in here )
( Content warnings, including additional spoilers for later episodes )
If anyone else has watched/is watching this please talk to me I just finished episode 12 tonight and my soul is vibrating. aaaa.
I wanted to make a joke about Yan Wei shooting people (because she's a photographer, get it?) but I couldn't fit it in here.
