Started another C-Drama, #Unexpected. This is a 2018 show. Not sure how long my interest will last, but I haven’t fast forwarded any scenes so far.

It’s a fantasy drama about a manhua author who gets sucked into the world of his creation. There he meets his female and male leads and the evil, rotten-to-the-core second female lead. In order to return to this world, he is given a task by an NPC to fix the life of the evil second female lead and give her a HEA. In his original work, she didn’t get any redemption.

So this and that happened, and he’s screwing up his manhua big time:
• The male lead isn’t into the female lead anymore because he sees her verbally and physically attacking the evil female second lead
• The female lead becomes this petty girl who wails at every single turn in her life
• The evil second female lead’s life turns into a makjang and is slowly falling for him because he comes at the perfect time to save her instead of the male lead

It’s hilarious. I’m only halfway through episode 6 and so much has happened already in his manhua world

There is no logic here – I just wait and see how much more he can royally damage the flow of his story and how he falls for the character that he wrote off as forever doomed. hope this will be good to the end. I’m liking it a lot.

      Np! 😃 Really hope it will be good. I’m not half way through the series, and I’m kinda wary by how much I’m liking it. I haven’t seen any of the still images above yet in the show, but they look so cute together!

      Yes for sure! This is like W – Two Worlds, but without the complicated, creepy af No Face murderer.

    Good to hear you’re liking it! When I was waiting for subs for some reason by ep 8 some of us got bored & were more into side stories than the main couple

      Uh-oh. 😕 Did you finish the show, Rumi? The author’s male lead is indeed interesting. He’s conflicted to like female lead because her actions aren’t really impressive so far and he seems really a nice dude. I like the growing bromance between him and his author though!

        I didn’t finish…. Because subs. I know viki completed them a month or so ago… But I’d moved on by then.
        Unexpected presented some questions similar to W that question why things happen the way they do in webtoon, dramas etc. A writer having to fight his own plot holes.

        Maybe now I need to watch it again from the beginning, I’ve forgotten most of it. 🤔

          I’m on ep 20 now, and the angst and lack of trust from the author slowed down my watch. I wish he were more trustful of the evil second lead whose I’m very proud of her character growth. When author doesn’t understand her actions, he tells her how she never changed at all and that hurts. A lot. Anyways other than the angst, they are cute together. I liked how they just started going out just like that.

          Male lead and female lead are cute even with their push pull relationship. Typical male and female lead, I guess. And Male lead is beautiful. I can 😍 at his face all day.

    I’m stuck at episode 12 of my neighbor can’t sleep. I can’t find any English subtitles anywhere. Now I’m wondering if I should check this out to see the craziness the author is creating!

      Halfmoon, this is where I watch My Neighbour Can’t Sleep https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_qkgvYf93fGQIATqc7Nj9A/videos She has 15 episodes up so far. I haven’t seen Episode 15 yet because I got distracted by Unexpected. Hehehe!

      Unexpected is on Viki. I`m starting Episode 13, although it isn’t as crackfest as the first 8 series, I`m still enjoying it. Hope you don’t mind spoilers, but lol, just a gist of what’s happening now – male lead rejected female lead. I`m cracking up. And female lead is sulky about it. Male lead is jealous of the affection he’s seeing between the author and the evil second lead. He says that’s the kind of love he’s looking for, and he’s not feeling that with the female lead. Awwww. I feel really bad for him. He asks the author what love is and author fails to answer. He doesn’t know what love is either despite the romance-genre manhua he wrote that was loved by many.
