Some good examples would be 'Anno Dracula' which is set in a world where Dracula has married Queen Victoria and rules over Victorian England. It's a really strange and unique take on that historical period. There's also 'The Song of Achilles' which, while being a retelling of a very old story, does it in a way that has some really interesting and a bit 'weird' interpretations of the characters and their relationships within the historical/mythological context. And 'The Miniaturist' which has a rather odd and mysterious plot set in 17th - century Amsterdam.

Good Evening, Mr President!

Good Evening, Mr President!

In the eyes of Chi Zuxu, Chi Yi is a typical delinquent with the three big ‘NOs’— no morals, no virtues, no principles. To her, though, he is a classic baddie who is heartless, soulless, and inhuman. After the girl breaks and climbs through his glass window on the second story, she peeps at him with an innocent demeanor. “Chi Zuxu, lend me the other half of your bed!” she wolf-whistles at him blatantly. The man admonishes with a scowl, “Chi Yi, aren’t you shameless!” Inside the cinema, as Chi Yi’s little hands restlessly grope the man’s body without chagrin, she tells him smilingly, “Chi Zuxu, I want to do bad things with you!” Holding a look of woeful disgrace, he knocks her head. “Chi Yi, aren’t you embarrassed!” It is a lovely love story between a barefaced and a reticent. But, Mr Reticient, please don’t cry when Miss Barefaced finally slips away.
