sometimes something serendipidous happens where you look up something about an anime but mistype it and accidentally get results that include a c-drama called "maiden holmes" which hits on both my love of genderbend asian dramas and sherlock holmes in one go so nothing was lost we're only net gains here
i watched 3 episodes of this show last night (theyre just on youtube) and it sure is a historical c-drama with some contrived plot things but its silly and charming in its own way. i cant forsee yet how the rest of the show will turn out but the main character su ci does stay in boymode for all 3 of the episodes i watched so im satisfied thusfar. i dunno if i'd recommend it if youre not into asian dramas but its well produced and well acted and im having fun.
