Story...
I loved the series. I don't mind what goeson good or bad.. That's life for some people..
Life isn't always a bed of roses. I felt sorry for Lu Feng. His love was genuine but due to the state of his mind his love for Xiao Chen
bordered on obsession. Xiao Chen was the opposite he messed with lu chengs brain and the pairing became toxic. Lu Feng couldn't give more than he did to keep Xiao Chen and the beatings he endured by his father proved his love went deep. Xiao Chen to me couldn't make up his mind how he felt about Lu Feng.
Getting wed to a woman was heartbreaking
for Lu Feng. Xiao married to make his mom happy. If your deeply in love you don't do that to hurt someone you really love.His mother should be ashamed the way she treated her boys. Well after all the angst and trauma in the end everything turned out happy.. Xiao
finely realised who the most important
Person was... Lu Feng.. Great series.. Great actors and great production..

Story
Well Im mixed about my feelings watching this series.I didnt think the two actors suited each other. Tuo looked more mature in height and build whereas junxi came across as gullible .. over trustful and easily led. I didnt like the way Tuo latched onto him and wanted it his way or noway. He was jealous and ignored junxi if he spoke to anyone besides him.I loved the young girl Lam but she didnt help the situation. At times she pushed Tuo and junxi together. The trope of growing up together and ending up together later on in life ..having a bad childhood is part and parcel of bls now so you know the ending more or less. Cant complain about the acting as both MLs were really goodwith great visual I loved the theme song sung by chance.Amazing voice.I did watch the whole series because I enjoyed the storyline..

I couldnt have dropped this series if I wanted to because of the ML.I was mesmorised by hisvisuals and that deep throaty voice. His mannerisms were laid back and cute. I did enjoy the series but I would love to see the ML in a more serious role as the boss of a criminal gang ..loyalty, discipline, and never showing fear — He would be perfect..We girls love badboys. The FL was perfect..shy..cute..pretty
and over excitable which was cute especially when the ML was in focus. She definately won him over because her words hurt him at times.
I am looking at other series where he is the main lead..

Acting
The series started as I can only describe with loudwomen arguing over chopping meat. It was cringey.
It takes the whole seriousness off the BL and turns it in to a comedy. I did watch it through and it did have some cute moments.. bare bottoms.. Kissing.. and intimate touching done with feeling. The MLs being a Thai production the visuals of both actors were beautiful. I find Thai men are extremely good looking.. That's just my opinion.. Only got to think of Pond and Phuwin. I enjoyed the series in the end. Don't let my first paragraph in my comment put you off.

Storyline..
Absolutely loved this BL. Fell in love with Thada..His visuals were beyond handsome..He was all masculine. Armin was the cutie. He was a lucky man to have such a gentle admirer who loved him deeply. Armin was a bit of a complex character who had been treated badly in his past life and having been killed off by people he thought was loyal he was reborn and meeting Thada saved his life. A fan from a distance. As for the stepbrother he was a vicious horrible human being who acted like a spoilt toddler stamping his feet and screaming when things didn't go his way and his mother was
a right bit#h..The scene where Armin was shot was a trauma for Thada. The acting was just enough.. Not overdone. I thought Armin was dead.. 😪. Pity we dont have more BLs like this.. Angst and drama is definately my bias and judging by some BL fans I'm not alone. Cheesy sloppy BL series are a turn
off. I hate cheesy.. When both MLs were in bed episode 10 when the director mentioned to rise up my mind turned dirty.. All in All a really great BL.. You know it's good when you can't wait for the next episode.. Thanks to all who gave us this little gem of a series. I hope both MLs are given
another pairing in another BL.. They gelled together nicely plus I want Thada in my life again.

I really enjoyed this Bl. Your not going to please everyone all of the time. We all have different opinions. The two actors were first class in their acting.No embarrassing silence between the actors. It flowed.I thought the storyline was cute and gentle. The actor who player Zefang was exceptional in his portrayel
of a young man who was having to live with his grandfather's soul inside him. Quite emotional to watch. The other grandson Ye Hai Yuan was his comforter. I've watched some abysmal BLs where the standard has been well below par. I hate bls that mix to much comedy with drama. For me it's one of the other.
Although Promise of Soul has a bit of comedy it
doesnt compromise to much with the drama.I loved the music.. All in all I enjoyed it. The tie around the two MLs wrists was unique. Grandfathers love for both his
grandsons. I thoroughly enjoyed it.. Thankyou to everyone who took part.

A good story
Help.. What did I just watch. Where was the plot.. Did I miss it. It was embarrassing to watch.. The MLs Sangmin is in his thirties but looked a lot younger.. Dinneaw early twentiesI'm not blaming the actors because they have to work to a script but it was a total mash up.
Thai males have one thing going for them they are extremely attractive. So plenty of eye candy just a shame that the series was
ridiculously stupid. The bedroom scene with the tweezers and the foreplay with one explicit scene on the floor in compromising positions was eye opening and going on porn. I have no idea how these young actors perform like that
being watched by all and sundry it must feel odd. What some will do for stardom. I wish all
the young actors all the best on their Journey.

Story
I have come back to watching this series again after watching it a couple of years ago and Iloved it as much as the first time. I wasn't put off by some of the story leaning towards sexual assault or the obsession the one ML had
over the other because it's telling a story and how their relationship pans out in the end.
I like BLs that are more aggresive in the making because lately a lot of them are a wasted watch and quite embarrassing with
drunken antics..loud females.. Cheesy and in the end you get fed up of watching the same
storyline. I've gone on to watching crime and
brotherly love between friends. The two actors in this series were amazing but reading what they have been in recently not a lot. They had a lot of talent to some of the actors in bls now where they do that much fanservice it's cringey..

script even though some of these actors can actually act but to engage them in a series that does nothing for their talent is sad.

Story
Great series with 2 amazing actors Chen and Jingyi..ML and FL. A hard watch as I found Li xun everything I hate in a man ruthless.. coolly calculating and
manipulative to the extent he messed with zhu yuns head with his total disregard for any of her feelings.
I wanted her to tell him to get lost but she was so obsessed with him it took over her life. There was no excuse for his behaviour where he totally destroyed her self esteem that she felt worthless. He had his moments of showing his feelings for her but he was a Jekyl and Hyde character one minute loving next very cold. It was a great watch.. The storyline was good. All the actors
were excellent. It was a happy ending at least for both of them especially for Jingyi as her love for Li xun never faltered.

Just finished watching Century of Love. It's was okas series go but I have never watched a bl where
crying took over the speaking roles.. bit harsh I know.
I loved both the ML but I fell in love with the young doctor. Off-road when he went through the torturous
scenes with his body looked really convincing not easy to do but he mastered it. Him and Daou were the perfect pairing. As Vee and San.. San aloof..cold..scary
Vee.. Cute.. Sassy full of fun.. both different individuals
but as they say opposites attract. Apart from the bit over the top drama that ensued it was worth a watch.

Story
Watching this series I got very resentful with mieko and ejie. She got pregnant to be a surrogate for Makki and Ejie but in the end they started Acting like a couple where Makki felt left out. Selfish behavior and as soon as she agreed to be a surrogate I thought what a stupididea. The father got his wish after his disgusting behavior to Makkie. Ejie was a coward. He shouldn't have entered into a relationship if he couldn't deal with the outcome. Being gay unfortunately is still taboo in some Asian countrys so until laws are reversed LGBTQ
young men will still have to live in the shadows. Great series to watch.. Great actors.. Great script.. I love Bl Japanese series and I I've fell for the Japanese people.

Bad acting
I watched the trailer to this but decided to give it a go.Wish I hadn't. Really below standard for a BL.
All the actors seemed on another planet. There were pauses between lines.. Rak was depressive.. No actors
really gelled.. As soon as I saw males dressed as females
the acting was over the top and it turns everything into a comedy and you can't take the series seriously. I'm not against trans actors as I have a grandson whose gay but
it really puts you off probably because it's not so prevalent in the Western dramas. All in all not a good view but that's only my opinion.

Storyline
Well only just watched this BL drama and I was quite embarrassed watching it. The two ML did not gel and to see a grown man on the floor acting like a child mumbling and whatnot and the other ML getting his guitar out to sing to him to calm him down I'm afraid he couldn't sing. He was well out of tune and that didn't help the drama. I did watch it through to the end butwasn't impressed. People in Taiwan maybe love
Actors to look vulnerable and childish but where I come from the west I have never witnessed it in any drama
I have watched. I will add that Taiwan.. Korea.. China..
Philippines since 2020 when this came out have greatly improved their BL dramas and are more professionally
done.The actors are more professional. They have many talents singing and some have dance in their repertoire
and extremely smart and good looking.

Story
There are only a few Drama series that contain all aspects that make a series brilliant and this was one of them. Stranger and Stranger 2 were superb. I have seen other series by the same Director and knew it would be worth watching. The Script was full of twists and turns.. and the gathering of some of the best Korean actors to date. I couldn't wait to see the next episode and in the end binge watch the two series. You know a good series from the first episode if it catches your attention.It's top of my list for one of the best dramas ever with
Goblin.. Devil judge.. Angels fall sometimes.. Taxi Driver.
SKorea is up with best producing and directing great KDramas... ❤️
