dangermousieI have been craving a Taiwanese drama recently, but not one of its many OTT confections.
Solution - checking out Pi Li MIT (The Clue Collector/Mysterious Incredible Terminator), starring Aaron Yan and Gui Gui.
The plot? Sheng Yen school is well-regarded but all sorts of troubling things have been going on there recently - attempted murders, ghost appearances, God knows what else. So Teacher Cherry, this school's graduate and a member during her school days of a formerly notorious "MIT" team which was rumored to protect school from evil, decides to reform the MIT team with the school's currently 4 most suitable students in order to protect the school and solve mysteries. Throw in some teenagers with deduction skills, issues, and relationships and you have a drama that I have wanted to watch for ages.
Plus, it has an OTP which looks like it's set to hit all my kinks.
He is an icicle son of a famous detective who's been denied a career path he wanted, and she is a detective writer on a school blacklist who is so forthright as to be almost a straight line. Bring it on.
Have a shippy MV!
It is 16 eps and is available all the usual places under one of 3 names listed.
ETA: Ahahahahahhaaaa, the OTP's first meeting is pure gold. She impersonates a corpse as a practical joke and he busts her for not being meticulous enough. And then she is all "can I ask you something?" and he tells her "I already have a girlfriend so it's impossible between us." Her response? "That's not what I wanted to ask! have you ever seen a real killer or a dead body?" LOLOLOLOLOLOL OTP.
