Professional Body Double 職業替身 (Audio Drama OST)
Currently following Shui Qian Cheng 水千丞’s latest 188 novel, Alpha Predator 頂級掠食者, and Yan Mingxiu 晏明修 from Professional Body Double 職業替身 has already made a guest appearance in the early chapters and immediately declared he is a married man… I remember reading somewhere someone mentioned that these 188 bastards always appeared as the perfect husbands when they are in someone else’s novels, nobody would have guessed the awful things they did in their own novel. So true, LOL… Anyway I suddenly realised I haven’t checked if there was an audio drama for Professional Body Double and theme songs from it. Well of course there was and two seasons of it…

【Manju 漫劇】Drunk in Love 一醉經年 (The 188 Series)
Just came across this manhua drama of Drunk in Love, or also translated as Years of Intoxication 一醉經年 (one of the 188 series), hmmm, very surprised indeed! I knew the novel has been serialised into manhua since the beginning of this year, but it looks like they have turned it into something called manju now… Manju is a new term meaning a combination of manhua + video + drama, so it is still slightly different to dongman or donghua.

The Years of Intoxication (Audio Drama Theme Songs) 廣播劇《一醉經年》主題曲
Reading the 188 series of BL novels at the moment and they are a torture to read but also very addicting, LOL… You just want to punch one of the main protagonists on the nose in the first half of the novels! I have read 2 of these novels in a row the past couple of weeks, currently reading another one, The Years of Intoxication 一醉經年. In the latter part of this novel, Song Juhan 宋居寒 sang a song he wrote to He Gu 何故 and at the same time came out of the closet in the final performance of his concert and, boy, it was a touching moment especially the speech he gave after he sang the song! The song, Ai He Gu 愛何辜 (translated as Is It a Crime to Love?) is actually a play of words to 愛何故 (Loving He Gu). The song actually exists! It is from the audio drama of the novel. I have also included two other songs from the audio drama…

Random Ramblings on BL Novels – The 188 Series 188男團系列耽美小説
Currently I am in the midst of reading the 188 series of BL novels by Shui Qian Cheng 水千丞. The first time I came across this author was after watching the 2017 bromance TV series, Beloved Enemy 決對爭鋒 at the beginning of this year, later I started to read the BL novel the TV series was adapted from, 針鋒對決. Of course at the time I did not realise it was part of the 188 series, but I did notice that Yuan Yang 原煬 was really a badass in the novel compared to his watered down behaviour in the TV series.
