WHAT THE HELL?!

I'll get straight to the point. This drama leaves a message to people (specially parents) against LGBTQ+ that if they somehow manages to marry their gay son to a woman and give birth to a baby, their son might eventually end up being in love with the wife and baby and lead a happy life, just the way they want it.
People are saying it's realistic. I agree, it is kinda realistic but not entirely.
The first part of the story was good...3 people- 2 guys and a girl who were close knit like a family. The guys were dating while the girl remained like a ....idk...maybe friend? (Not really tho). However, bcz Eiji's parents were against it, she volunteered herself to be a serogate mother to their child. Till here, I was fine... I was like okay she was really a well wisher that she was ready to make such a huge sacrifice for them.
BUT, BUT , BUT.... from the scene where it seemed that they had threesome .... Everything became so ambiguous. She was 8 weeks pregnant but she said Makki that she was 13 weeks pregnant so it must be Makki's child. While it was actually Eiji's child bcz she was 8 weeks pregnant. WHAT THE HELL? DID THEY HAVE 3SOME OR SHE CONTINUED HAVING SEX WITH BOTH OF THEM SEPERATELY? (THAT'S SICK !)
SO BASICALLY EIJI AND SHE SLEPT TOGATHER BEHIND MAKKI'S BACK. THEY CHEATED ON HIM? My biggest question is..can a person's sexuality change so easily? I mean Eiji was gay right? He deeply loved Makki and cared for Meiko. Then, after having sex with her, he started liking her and loving her eventually.
MEIKO- I didn't understand her completely. What did she want? She wanted to be with Makki forever? So she decided to sleep with both of them in the name of helping them? Who was she fooling? Herself? Anyways, she did want him but ended up with Eiji and a child and a happy family.
MAKKI- The most pitiful charecter. He helped Meiko when she was having a hard time and made her feel that she has someone who cares for her. He was a loyal bf to Eiji. Later, even when he realises that Meiko has feelings for him, he never reciprocated it bcz he loved Eiji. And in the Entire drama, these 2 were the only people in his life. But these 2 ended up hurting him the most. But it's good that eventually he was trying to move on. He has to. I feel really bad for him.
Anyways, I won't ever watch it again.

NOT just like any other University based BL

I loved it. It wasn't like any other University life based BLs we usually see. 3 couples. 3 different love stories. All of them were unique. After a long time I cried today while watching a drama. The acting of these actors were so so good and even the story of the lead couple where they started to grow togather to achieve a goal but at a certain point, due to series of events they had to stand against each other. Thorn was so desperate yet so pitiful. I couldn't help but cry. But the way Fah came back to support him was everything. Same way, the chemistry between the second couple Aai and Sean was incredibly sweet. And for the 3rd couple they has a twisted love triangle but eventually it did work out.
IT WAS ENGAGING. I DIDN'T GET BORED. IT WAS FUN, SWEET, INTENSE AND ROMANTIC. AND ...I've watched a bunch of University dramas and their fun activities, and I usually skip it bcz it's not that engaging. But here, the fun activities of faculty of sport science was so damn fun!!! I wished I had such fun in my university life too.
Anyways, do watch!

A CHINESE DRAMA WHICH IS A TRUE BL (NOT ADAPTED TO BROMANCE)

In midst of all the Chinese BL dramas which get adapted into bromance due to censorship, THIS DRAMA SHOWS A REAL BL PLOT. MY EYES ARE BLESSED WITH THE LAST SCENE I SAW...NEVER BEFORE I SAW A MARRIAGE SCENE OF 2 GUYS IN ANY HISTORICAL DRAMA EVER!!!!! OFCOURSE, It showed a platonic relationship because of censorship but their chemistry was very very sweet and there were actually some romantic scenes.
I liked the plot but the love of the MLs for each other was the driving force for each other. Unlike typical historical dramas where the charecters are always on guard and highly cares about other people's opinion, here the protagonist Tao Mo who played the role of a naive magistrate who was so pure and innocent at heart, and who just loved Gu She so much that just the mention of his name makes him leave all his work wherever he is and he rushes to him. And Gu She who was cold and aloof loves to spend time with him and melts even at the thought of him. There were some loopholes in the story though. It seemed like Gu She has known Tao Mo for long but we didn't know how. The ending was abrupt ( I looked up for more info and found out that the drama originally should have been of 28 episodes but was cut off due to censorship).
DAMN I REALLY LOVE COSTUME AND PERIOD GENRE AND WISH TO SEE MORE SUCH UNCENSORED TURE BLs in this genre.

With this cast, you CAN'T SKIP IT!

My very first impression as the drama started was..."aww my babies ( fav support charecters from various dramas) are here. I absolutely love the Louis-Neo couple from Fish upon the sky. They just warm up my heart. Coming to the STORY- unlike common school/college drama, it was more of a thriller- mystery drama with the right amount of romance.
The story could have been more better in terms of suspense. And the turn of events which made the probable villian, being actually a sad victim was kind of ...not so nice. But then it wasn't bad either. But more than that, I loved the couples. I loved how Aye and Akk, being 2 people of completely different personalities and perspectives, tried to understand each other and support each other. The love story was beautiful. Kan - Thua had a similar love story like that in FUTS, but no matter what their story is...I never get bored watching them.
The entire CAST- did and incredible job.
Cinematography was good. Overall, I loved it!!

DON'T MISS THIS IF U R A BL/BROMANCE & WUXIA FAN

VISUALS, CINEMATOGRAPHY, CAST, PLOT, ACTIONS... everything was on point. Specially the BL VIBES. Most people are saying it's bromance but it's definitely screaming out loud that it's a censored BL. It's gives off the soul-mates vibe similar to the ones we got in Word of Honor, Killer & Healer, etc. I personally never felt like it was a brotherly bond. It was more of an enemies to lovers trope. And damn! The graphics are just soooo beautiful! The Chinese city shown is one of the best and most beautiful city I've seen to date. The plot was interesting. The villian was hot! And the MLs are top notch actors. Overall, it's a must watch. Don't miss it.

A Ture BL. Rare gem in the world of censored C-BLs.

(WARNING: The version available in YouTube and many other platforms are the heavily censored version of the drama which cuts out all the BL elements. So make sure to WATCH THE UNCUT VERSION. Just google it, you'll find it.)
LOVED IT! The same cast of the MLs did another drama LOVE IS MORE THAN A WORD, and that drama was lovely too. Both the dramas have the same director and I'm so thankful for the director and producer for producing these TRUE BL GEMS. By true BL, I mean, the drama wasn't changed into bromance. Most of the C-BLs out there make the drama into bromance/soul-mates, and BL elements are no more than some love filled glances and utmost care and sincerity towards each other. But here, the dialogues, and some scenes, although without physical intimacy, are openly delivered to make it a true BL.
The plot was set in the anti-Japanese war era. The plot is good! I won't spoil it, but it was a solid plot. Didn't really find loopholes.
The cast was cute. I've liked them ever since I watched LIMTAW. But here, I feel like the acting was better.
Overall, ITS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

PURE BL (NOT BROMANCE), THOROUGHLY ENJOYED

The moment I saw GONG JUN as one of the MLs I was like - "OMG ITS HIM!!!! YAY!!!" (Bcz he is one of my favourite actors since I watched Word of Honor). I love him...his acting , playfulness, hotness and cuteness.. everything is just so well blended and on point. And then, when I saw his co-star XU FENG I was like.. "OMFG HE'S SO HOT!!! WHAT A DADDY!" (LOL)
Coming to the story, I liked the plot. I was so done with college and office romance. This was refreshing, an ex-armyman and a boxer. The chemistry they both had was so damn adorable!!!! I got hooked until the last. And what I like about C-BLs is how they show selfless love. BOTH MLs are ALWAYS DOES SOMETHING FOR THE OTHER, EVEN AT THEIR OWN RISK. ITS JUST SO SWEET! EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO INTIMATE SCENES, YOU'LL STILL GET BUTTERFLIES WATCHING THEM... THE STORY WASN'T COMPLICATED. IT WAS SIMPLE AND SWEET . BUT THE CASTS TOOK IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL. I liked the supporting casts too but the MLs are my favourite. Do watch!

A HIDDEN GEM

M so lucky to have come across this drama. It's so UNDERRATED! Although it was a school based BL, it was uncommon. I haven't come across a similar fake bf to real bf BL drama. The cast was really lovely. The main couple, unlike most BL couples, were not just lovey dovey at all times. I loved the combination of fierceness and cuteness in them. The second and third couples were incredibly cute. The friends were silly and funny. Not that funny though. What was totally different was, usually we see dramas based on city life, University life, etc. But here, it entirely focused on the country life and their culture. The songs were good but the fact that the charecters starts singing out of the blue in the flow of emotions was funny and gave the "Bollywood vibes". It's rare to see that in southeast Asian dramas.
Overall, it was entertaining, and definately can be re-watched.

SHORT BUT VERY CUTE AND COMPLETE, UNDERRATED DRAMA.

Oftentimes we find short series very quick paced or sometimes even confusing. It kinda feels like "could've been better if it was longer", BUT THIS SERIES, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS SHORT, FELT JUST RIGHT. A SIMPLE STORY, GOOD PACING AND BEUTIFUL CHEMISTRY AMONG ALL THE 3 LEADS. AND MOST DEFINITELY CUTE!
THE PART I LOVED THE MOST WAS HOW MIX AND RYU DIDN'T HATE EACH OTHER EVEN THOUGH THEY LIKED THE SAME GUY. AND THE ENDING WAS OPEN. AS SOON AS THEY FOUND A HOUSE WHERE ALL 3 CAN LIVE TOGETHER, THEY INSTANTLY CALLED RYU . THIS SHOWS THEIR SOLID BONDING.
OST was good. Overall, it's a cute, feel good drama.

ONE OF THE BEST, BUT NOT FOR EVERYONE

If you are strongly against sexual assaults/rapes in dramas and romantic relationship between step siblings, if you are one of those who takes dramas too seriously and forget that these are only fictions, then don't even bother watching it. But, if you're okay with it, go ahead and watch it. It's definitely one of the best, sweetest and hottest BLs out there.
My favourite couple in this drama was Teng Muran and Li Cheng. Gosh so damn cute! Their love story isn't something very extraordinary and can be considered cliche, but trust me it's much more refreshing than watching college students romance. Teng Muran looks like a guy straight out of Manga. Tall, slender body with a beautiful face and elegant but cold aura. Li Cheng is like a breath of fresh air. Silly and funny but equally mature and passionate. I didn't get bored watching them. Every moment was fun. And they addressed a factor "who'll be the top, who'll be the bottom". They both wanted to be the top. Actually, I often wondered myself, don't gay couples ever feel conflicted about this? How do they decide? ..So, I was happy this series addressed that topic.
Now coming to the controversial couple -
Xing Se and Yong Jie. Honestly at first I thought Yong Jie was a crazy stalker when he broke into his room and when he hit Muran. But later, I got to know he was the step brother who was crazily obsessed with Xing Se. I've watched "HIStory: Obsessed" before this, but trust me, here the obsession depicted was much more and real than shown in the series "obsessed". I don't like such seriously obsessed and possesive lovers. But, slowly, the drama explains why he has such behaviour. What I liked is- he was bold and straightforward. He never lied. Even before sleeping with Xing Se, he told his mother everything about his plan. And even later, he was always ready to help his brother go back home and confess his dad while he would take all the blame. What I liked is, even though he clung onto Xing Se and did everything possible to make him love him, when Xing Se actually accepted and confessed his love, he didn't just jump to conclusions and asked him again and again if it wasn't just gratitude and sympathy. I mean, during all this time he did crazy things to get him, but then, he wasn't irrational. At a certain point he accepted that if his brother just wants him as a brother he'll accept it. So yeah that's good. Honestly, I understand such people and their behaviour. The series cleary explains how and where they comes from. And regarding relationship of step siblings, m okay with it. Their parents played their roles well too.
So overall, I loved it. I loved the SWEETNESS and HOTNESS the series offered. My fav was Muran-Li Cheng couple but I also liked the bitter-sweet relationship of Xing Se and Yong Jie.

NOTHING EXTRAORDINARY BUT NOT BAD. I REALLY LIKED THE MLs

After watching 88 BLs so far, this didn't feel like something new or special. Just another high school love story. Nothing much stood out expect that the MLs were handsome and the chemistry was fine. I felt like the scenes were skipped. The transition of scenes didn't feel natural. Maybe bcz its a short series.
Overall - it's fine. Not bad. U can watch it. But don't expect something new or different.
The music was fine. I watched HIStory 3: Trapped right before this and it made to my topmost favourites. And I read some reviews which had this drama "crossing the line" rated more than "trapped". So, I was expecting much more. M not disappointed though. The story was common but wasn't lame. Plus the MLs were so handsome that watching him made happy.

DON'T BELIEVE THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS BLINDLY, DO WATCH IT!

So this was my 71st BL series. Yes! I've watched 71 BL series so far. Initially, I was sceptical about watching this bcz of the immense negative reviews it got. But now, since I am almost done with my watchlist, m going with random BLs. I loveeee historical/ period and costume dramas. More so, if it's BL, bcz it's intriguing. But honestly, so far, other than "Tinted with your love" which was more like a fantasy drama, rest all the historical BL Dramas makes the BL story look like bromance or soul-mates. So anyways, I liked the storyline in spring of crush. Ppl say it was all over the place, but it wasn't. Honestly we cannot expect a very happy ending with the BL couple togather ever after kinda plot in historical genre. So, it ended with a soul-mate kinda vibe. It wasn't bromance. They clearly loved each other as more than friends/brothers. But, during those times, they cannot expect anything more from such feelings can they? It was light hearted and cute. I loved the actors. Initially I really sympathized with the second lead actor bcz he loved him since childhood and protected him. And he was also bold enough to express that he loved a man. But that led to tragedy. And later on I realised that he was dangerously obsessed with him rather than being in love. So, he lost my favour. Even so, I liked him...I liked all of them. Watch it for fun. Don't take it too seriously.

SUPER-BLAND LIKE A SOUP WITHOUT SEASONING

So, I came across this movie as an explicit BL and the storyline seemed intriguing soI decided to give it a try. But oh, it's just so BLAND. THE STORY WASN'T BAD, IT DID HAVE POTENTIAL BUT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED INTO A DRAMA. AS A MOVIE, IT WAS SUPER RUSHED. THE ACTING WAS BAD, PLUS THE SUPER FAST PACING MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CONNECT WITH THE CHARECTERS OR THE STORY. EVERYTHING HAPPENED SO FAST! OVERALL, THERE'S NOTHING TO LIKE IN IT.
The ACTING WAS POOR, DIRECTING WAS POOR. ONLY THING I LIKED IS THE ENDING (LOL) WHEN THEY REINCARNATED. SUCH STORIES SHOULD BE DEVELOPED INTO SERIES WITH A GOOD CAST.

This was my 87th BL drama and now it's ONE OF MY FAVOURITES

OMGGGGGG!!! DAMN!! I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF THIS ENTIRE DRAMA!! TRUST ME THIS IS MY 87TH BL and I regret not watching this sooner. It's those type of darmas that makes you keep feeling happy and good for a long time even after its finished. I don't regret investing my time in it. I haven't come across this plot with a gangster and a cop lovestory in the BL genre.
STORY -10/10.
ACTING-10/10
CHEMISTRY -10/10
I was captivated from the very beginning to the very end. Hot gangsters ( Tang Yi and Jack). Cute af cops ( Shao Fi and Zhao Zi). And they togather were just... Damn such cuteee couples. Shao Fi was so funny that I kept giggling the entire time as I kept watching the show. The acting of the entire cast was on point. And ofcourse it's a pure BL not bromance. Enough steamy scenes. The romance, humour, cuteness, action and thrill... everything was just so damn perfect. Just go and watch it if you already haven't!
Some people are disappointed with the ending. But m quite satisfied. It's not a sad ending. He was a gangster who has committed several crimes. So, he has to pay for it. Even though he might spend sometime in prison, Shao Fi ensures him that he will definitely wait for him. I know and believe that after he's released, they can lead a happy life together.

SWEET BUT NOTHING NEW

I honestly watched it bcz of the handsome ML. The main couple's love story was nothing interesting or different. They fell in love almost instantly and things worked out fast and smoothly. Only during the last part there's the obstacle set by his parent. But that too was easy to overcome. So nothing special.
I liked the 2nd couple more. This too was nothing new but still I liked their chemistry. The playfulness of Kao and how Phu melted over time was sweet.
So basically this was a SWEET BUT KINDA BORING drama. Towards the end, last few episodes I skipped most of the parts and only watched to know how the story ends. It's watchable but won't re-watch.
