Watch: Watch Harry Shum Jr.'s 2015 Comic-Con Diary!

Dear Harry Shum Jr., please always be on our TVs. 

The former Glee star is now taking on the role of Magnus Bane in ABC Family/Freeform's new show Shadowhunters, and based on what we've seen so far, he somehow looks both badass and adorable at the same time. 

We're pretty sure that's also a good way to describe Harry in real life, at least based on the exclusive diary he recorded for us as he promoted the show at New York Comic-Con this weekend, joined by a cast including Katherine McNamara, Dominic Sherwood, Isaiah Mustafa, Matthew Daddario and Esmeraude Toubia.  

The diary, which you can watch above and click through , chronicles Harry's day, from perfecting his hair in the morning to having a private dance party to signing autographs for hundreds of fans, and it is definitely not an unattractive set of images and videos. 

Like, could this picture be any more adorable? 

Just watch the video above and click through Harry's photo diary for a truly enjoyable time! 

Along with the cast, ABC Family/Freeform also took the opportunity at Comic-Con to introduce some of the first footage from the upcoming series, and it did not disappoint. 

The show, based on the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, follows reluctant protagonist Clary Fray (McNamara) as she discovers that she's secretly a Shadowhunter, a human with angelic qualities who is destined to hunt down the demons that live in an alternate New York City called the Downworld. 

 

According to the above trailer, Shadowhunters features an exciting Stefon-like level of action: a young girl discovering her parents lied to her, light-up swordfights, attractive men in eyeliner, Harry Shum Jr. as you've never seen him before, significant glances in a night club, women falling out of windows, someone shouting, "no!," boys who find disinterested girls interesting, and sparkles! 

We may sound like we're joking, but this show is truly exciting to us, and everything that's been released about this show so far only makes the wait for its January debut even harder.

The premiere will coincide with the rebranding of ABC Family with its new name, Freeform, and the return of pretty much all of your other favorites, including Pretty Little Liars, The Fosters, Young and Hungry and Baby Daddy
