Elite Contender For Best Bl Ever
One of the best shows/bls I ever watched. I remember the hype it got last year but never watched it (I was out of bl) but I seriously missed out on such a gem of a show. Wei truly defies expectations, he is is such a fascinating and dynamic main character for us to follow. I thought the first episode of it was very comical, and even the premise of the show is a trope within itself, yet this show just defies the sort of stale expectation. I really loved the dark introduction to Chi Cheng/ Cheng yu. It gave me that the show was gonna be dark with toxic mafia-esque tops which I LOVE mind you but I liked the layers that were pulled out of them.
Starting off with a fighting snake ring and overall understanding that Cheng is enamored by snakes and also adores them as they are his children. All of that leading with his trauma of his ex pressure from family, absolute fucking cinema. I feel like everything in this show, while the budget wasn't the best, obviously, it's like, I'm sorry, some shows can't even write this much plot twists, yet depth into their characters and growth within their characters in five or six episodes. I mean, we saw him literally kill the snake for Wei. Don't get me started on Wei and Shuai's dynamic. I love them so much. I think it just, with Shuai, he is such a light in this dark world, and it's so easy to fall in love with him, and it makes so much sense that Cheng Yu is in love with him and shines in his scenes with him and even Cheng Chi (I loved their bromance it was so funny and real). Both Cheng Yu and Shuai chemistry was so good! A good balance to Wei and Cheng Chi's. Shuai is so inviting and I was praying for even more screen time with him, with all he has experienced he is still so giving, to wei, to his community, to strangers. I have so many praises to sing about this show and how it understands its characters.
I loved the bringing back the toxic ex. He was MY messy gay. I loved what he stirred in the characters, the drama, the diva of it all. I even loved how careful the characters took care of mental health and illness, even when I wish and somewhat the dramaticness in me wanted them to stoop low (Shuai grounded Wei so much I loved their dynamic lol). So many characters just exceeded expectations, which really made them feel more human and grounded to the story. I enjoyed the pacing of this show so much as well. I think that towards the end (not way end but maybe), with the major conflict, I do think things got wrapped up a little bit quickly with a major plot point. But other than that, I'd say the pacing was amazing and it felt like we could feel the weight of the decisions and the emotions of the characters. In general I just need more time with the story cause IM GREEDYYY and need more EPISODESSS. Still, the dialogue and the couples sold me everything I needed: tears, butterflies, sexual tension, guilt, shock, everything I needddddd! The actors did their absolute fucking big one in this show. I truly think with such a variety of characters and different perspectives, they honored all of them so well and their dynamics paid off so well when the boys got together as couples. Long live Cheng Chi X Wei Wei you guys are so hot!!! And long live Cheng Yu and Shuai Shuai the best second leading couple ever. Shout out to my fav bestie bottom twins Wei Wei and Shuai Shuai I hope yall do something fruity behind your tops back for the fun of it and get a spanking 😜😜
might watch the behind the scenes now and be hella involved in this fandom cause truly this show has fixation power over me, thats how good it is. GIVE IT A TRY! you will love it and adore it as I do 💞💞 thank you for reading 💞💞
