FANDOM NAME: 탐정 홍길동: 사라진 마을 | Phantom Detective (2016)
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: It's a movie about a hard-boiled young detective setting out to kill his archenemy and unintentionally bonding with said archenemy's little granddaughters instead. No romance subplot, a rich backstory behind it all, I watched it last night (spontaneous nom is spontaneous) and laughed and cried and it's great fun and the universe it unveils offers a lot of potential for fanfic.
WHERE CAN I FIND IT?: I watched it on Amazon Prime, but I think it's only on there for a few more days. In my region, at least, please do check for yourself just in case if you're interested!! And it's out on DVD.

FANDOM NAME: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV)
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Look. When you hit play on the first ep and see the exposition reel to explain the setting, you'll ask yourself wtf you're doing. Do ignore that and keep watching. The show is a bit... uh, cheaply made, shall we say, but the story is good and the chemistry of the two leads is INCREDIBLE. It's based on a webnovel which is more explicit about the romance between them than the webseries, but even so, the relationship that builds between the main characters is wonderful, full of trust and protectiveness even as they dance around a couple of big secrets.
WHERE CAN I FIND IT?: on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdRj_d7_skE&vl=zh-CN)

FANDOM NAME: In These Words - Guilt Pleasure
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: I'll be honest with you, this (web) manga is explicit and contains triggery material, so please do inform yourself about that before you jump in (feel free to ask in the comments) but if you don't mind that kind of content then it's well worth a read for the twists and turns of the story. I won't say much more because, trust me, go into this unspoiled if you can take it. Ohh and also, the art is amazing. AMAZING.
WHERE CAN I FIND IT?: http://www.guiltpleasure.com/ and it's also available in print in some countries.

Yess, Guardian! Absolutely seconding the rec. It has outstanding h/c, and so much of it.
Which Guardian characters did you nominate? I completely forgot to check, but I would love to see/possibly write fic about Da Qing.
