So, in ep 3 of Rookie Agent Rouge

[dangermousie]

We find out our heroine's new spy crush is happily with a Christian missionary. And they are so cute. I love them!





But it’s a 1830s spy show set in China, and I know they are doomed. Dammit!

Ever since watching The Disguiser I've been on the lookout for another good series set around this era, but I ended up dropping Rookie Agent Rouge after a few episodes and I can't quite remember why?? I'll be interested to hear what you think about it.

I haven’t seen the Disguiser but it’s on my list. I am liking Rouge so far but I am only three eps in so who knows how it will go. I do like ZLY and the design aesthetic as well as Lu Yi, who hasn’t shown up yet but I know plays the love interest so I may be biased.

I have not seen either of them but I know both Sparrow and Decoded are set in the same era, involve spies and have good reviews. I am fond of the Lady and the Liar which involves fighting the Japanese during this period even if it’s not a spy drama but a rather melo romance so I would rec that if you are into that genre. (I have seen a bunch of 30s cdramas but oddly this is my first spy one.)

Cool, I'll definitely check out the Lady and the Liar if I can find it subbed anywhere.

I watched it with english subs so they are out there...
