Who knew watching people make googly eyes while dissecting corpses and solving crimes in ancient China could be so engrossing, but that’s exactly what we get with the costume drama “Coroner’s Diary” 朝雪录. It deftly interweaves medical forensics and swoony romance, helped along by an appealing and convincing cast. Compared to the recent spate of C-dramas that drummed up high promise but became tedious slogfests, this romantic, often funny, and thoroughly enjoyable ride has Juniper and Elle hooked and waiting eagerly for the coming episodes.

Lately, we’ve fallen into a rabbit hole of dramas starring Chinese actor Liu Xueyi, and Elle has been a happy victim ever since. To indulge her love of all things Liu Xueyi, she decided to watch an older 2021 romantic comedy starring said apple of her eye. Somehow Juniper got sucked in for a partial ride, too. While “Love At Night” 夜色暗涌时 is no diamond in the rough, it has its charms, carried by its stars. Let’s take a journey back in time and see what this one is all about.

In this pod, we dive into two recent Chinese costume drama releases - “The Princess’s Gambit” 桃花映江山 and “A Dream Within A Dream” 书卷一梦. A political intrigue that takes everything seriously vs. a meta parody where nothing is sacred, these shows couldn’t be more different. Yet, they somehow also resemble each other in uncanny ways. Listen in as we discuss our early impressions and ruminate on whether either show has real staying power.

(04:19) The Princess’s Gambit early impressions
(16:59) A Dream Within A Dream early impressions
(28:47) Further ruminations on both dramas and beyond
