Thanks(?) to mekare , I have a web series to watch.

"shen wei & zhao yunlan - say something" (Watch on YouTube)

That song is one of the best angsty vid songs ever so that helps, but dang the chemistry between those two (gorgeous) people is quite an effective sell.

I have a Chinese friend who got her PhD here in our department, returned for a post-doc, and is headed back to Beijing this weekend. I'm suggested to her (just now, literally, she left my office about five minutes ago) that we watch it together to give us a reason to stay in touch.

Guardian is amazing. Proper Shen Wei, dirtbag Zhao Yunlan, more pining than should be physically possible, aggressive costume choices, wow, that just happened special effects.

YES.
