After binging 8 episodes of How dare you, I checked this out for Wang Xingyue. His last two detective dramas weren’t…
I agree with you. I also went into this show with lower expectations especially not as a big BL fan but I think this role really suits her and WXY also is doing solid work and the pair are in unison and respectful and building to more so slowly and they have a great dynamic. I loved his speech to her about the shooting stars. The cases are interesting and part of a wider conspiracy that keeps unravelling and getting bigger that I’m really invested in it and also the show itself just looks pretty. The dark atmosphere and the costumes and scale. It’s actually really surprising me and I love that.
Ok hear me out: this is a show I think started with wrong marketing because the OG trailer sold to me something goofy, slapstick. When I started I was so ready to laugh but by the end of ep 6 I was so confused about what I was watching. The tone was strange. Like who is this show for? it’s trying to be kind of funny but its more a drama and with deeper messaging about our roles and changing our fate.
Once ep 7 hit on the boat it got really good with that powerful speech by the new minister guy about the state of the world and I was invested now in the show but it had moving to serious drama and tragedy and loss of life to get to where are and a real suddenly terrifying Prince villain. My perception on the show had to change to start enjoying what it was offering.
I don’t dislike this show because it’s got a solid story and motives and WCR and CL are doing great performances but I would argue what was promised in previews is different to what I’m experiencing in what kind of genre to expect.
This is a romantic drama and deep themes with occasional humour to release tension.
I am not ready to let this show go yet and its been well over a week. This show is so special to me now and I keep coming back to this page and feel cosy all over again.
Begging on my knees that he lands a meaty period drama role this year. His performance in Goodbye my princess…
Totally agree. Historical dramas suit him and he has great acting chops for something gritty.
There is a rumour about a historical he might be doing with Li Yi Tong which looks gritty as the team involved did The Glory and Blossom. Not sure if it’s just another random rumour that goes into the big rumour pot but if it does happen I think he’ll be given an incredible role there.
I’ve been waiting for Tan Jianci in a historical drama for one year. After Lost You Forever, I was completely…
I promised myself to finish a TJC show this year to celebrate and prepare for this. I got about 10 episodes into Lost You Forever but paused it to watch other stuff. Now I need to go back to it cause the character he plays is FASCINATING.
I wasn’t ready for ep 51. I wasn’t ready. I was actually sobbing on the bus. We knew Gu Jian would not survive but his death was unbearably heartbreaking to watch. That poor girl has lost the two most important men in her life by the ML who has gone beyond red flag territory and is now unforgiveable.
Nobody was a saint in this show but this girl didn’t deserve any of this.
I had to pause this episode part way to watch something lighter cause far out you need to.
That felt creep to put something like that on a box. He's delusional and acting infront of ML and his parents…
Never said he gets more sympathy or justifies his actions in the show. What this moment shows is why he is the way he is which is important to see where he coming from and not making him a one dimensional villain which is boring.
She should absolutely be with ML. I’m not saying 2ML is a better choice.
The fact that the SML kept her plaster in a small box as a keepsake speaks volumes about him and the kind of love and care he got in his life. I felt sad for him.
Look I knew there was something off about bestie’s husband. Worst case scenario it’s an actual affair but it’s probably more an emotional affair which is also terrible. For her own dignity she should leave him regardless but whether she does or not is hard to tell as it’s such a long history between them. I just want to give her a hug and tell her it will be okay.
Every time I come here, I see that the ratings keep increasing... is it that interesting?
Yes! 100%! Main couple is complex, second couple is complex, beautiful aesthetic and soundtrack and natural healthy healing romance. A solid modern drama.

for this. He looks incredible!
