Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty is a historical drama (as you may have guessed lol) that follows three very different types of detectives who get thrown together while investigating some court intrigue. I think it does a good job balancing the character beats, the cases, and the court politics. Excellent found family dynamics (plenty of ship potential if you wanna also). Also features lots of food porn and some pretty sets and costumes as well. If you enjoy Sleuth, Imperial Coroner is a good show to watch next!

Both have teensy fandoms tho, so fair warning on that! If you’re banking on having a trove of fic to read after try shows based on danmei by MXTX (the Untamed is a drama (liveaction) or Scum Villain and Heaven Official’s Belssing are dongua (animated serieses)) or Priest (Guardian & Word of Honor both have dramas). Personally I absolutely love Guardian but it definitely suffers a bit from being the front edge to the current novel adaptation trend—their funding was inconsistent so production quality is variable, they had to make some serious compromises to pass censorship (it went from being fantasy to handwavy sci fi essentially) but the main pairings chemistry is phenomenal

@celadonCamellia do u also accept recs from non blorbos

and what are yr existing preferences roughly. Plotty or tropey? How much are u watching just for the sets/outfits? Modern or historic/fantasy? (its very difficult to get modern fantasy past chinese censorship for reasons i dont fully understand). Do you want it to be like, real gay or is gen / het romance fine?

@blkstarseed 100%! Communication is so much more than just about what prescriptivists think is the most “correct” language and I wish more people respected that

strictest prof I ever had in terms of docking points for “non standard” grammar & phrasing was, oddly, my Asian American experience class. Very strange to write an essay on discrimination in schools and loose points for saying which when it should have been that…

@maya i….why are these people still on the site??

@maya the bottom margin feels a little large (specifically the gap between the text and the page number) but otherwise its prob high end of normal but not too much

@Forestofglory i feel that
