waiting for bts of kissing scene of Chi Cheng and Guo Cheng Yu it'll definitely be fun
TRUE STORY, those are the bts moments "I've all been waiting for" (unapologetic Deadpool quote) As it is I'm cherry picking, only watching the bts where the two of them are in the shots. The latest drop had some visual gems, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rO7M6FAYII8, and this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDrfMZcOxTM I don't even know who cares that ZX's face was a bit swollen when his face card is still such a serve,
Aaaaaah, they really said let's go with 'EVERYTHING IS BEAUITFUL & EVERYTHING HURTS' for the ending. lol But really, it was beautifully done. The acting, visuals and dialogue are 3 major highlights of this show. Stunning. Really enjoyed this.
If I had to choose a side out of the 2 ML's and their different motives and choices for everything they did, I'd be on Duan Zi Ang's side easily, because Shu He's family wasn't even worth all the drama and pain he suffered and he never even wanted to be an emperor. It'd be a little different if his douchebag of a brother and distant father figure hadn't just felt like losses cut and if his country and title had been important to him all along. But anyway, these period pieces are all about all-sacrificing filial children and family honor and death over shame and blah blah. So I get Shu He's whole never ending grudge thing in THAT sense.
However impo, and on my scale of 'was the Bottom worth that extra high level of simpage from the Top' when it comes to Chinese danmei, Shu He does not make the cut. He was not worth Duan Zi Ang's pain and longing and literally overthrowing an empire to have him. So that list still only holds Xie Lian and Wei Wuxian.
STILL, for me, who rarely likes costume dramas, this show is a solid 9.5. I'd give it a 9.8 actually, if MDL allowed, but alas.
In that singing video, when TXN and XiaoShuai walked in, both tried to sit next to Ziyu. But Tian instantly shoved…
I just saw this clip on Twitter just now, I can't say I see anything you're talking about, I just see these guys chilling and building confidence to sing, but I do know it was hilarious to watch and wow Tian is not good at singing π but I loved watching him have fun and go with the flow. That's me at karaoke fr, off key but still singing loudly af ππ Karaoke is a lot of fun like that.

I genuinely have no idea what you're talking about, this must be one of the ones I skipped π I just enjoyed how extra they looked trying to dramatically fight each other with pillows π€£
Picking and choosing which bts I want to watch, and the KTV fight bts is hilarious, they were having fun pretending to beat each other up with sugar glass bottles and feathered pillows π so unserious, all of them, but the scene turned out quite good over all. Some parts should have been kept in though! Some of the cuts would have been nice in the show, would have added more drama to the scene!
It really is β¦ I honestly donβt get this obsession with the bts and the actors themselves. Like, we realize…
I skimmed this discussion and I could be wrong, but I think the misunderstanding here is that apirbn means 'they are not co-branding' as in 'they're choosing not to do it [don't want that kind of attention]'. They're saying (according to their view) that the main pair of RL are choosing not to do any co-branding or joint promotions, while you're saying they're not doing it because of the government restrictions stopping them.
JFC this show IS NAILING IT ON ALL FRONTS. - Acting A++ - Visually striking like holy shet - Beautifully done intimately and intense angsty scenes, even the music is just right - Beautifully written and delivered dialogue, I mean, I'm listening to and feeling every word - The contrast in the characters younger and older demeanors are also so well done, especially Zi Ang.
Just, like, damn. Serve after serve. I loved ep 10, it was somehow as good and yet better than 9 at the same time. Eps 1-4 can really mislead how good this show will get, it's about the LONG GAME ya'll. From ep5 this show hasn't missed! Even the time skips flowed so well with everything. Kill me slowly, yespleasethanks, I live for angst. I degaf if it's not a happy ending at his point, the show stepped up for real.
... that said, I endorse a happy ending, because duh.

Based comment. Just watch and enjoy the show β Like the actors as actors, stay in your lane about their personal lives β Most bts is boring β Fanservice is almost always ick β They're just doing their jobs, respect that β Real people 'CP' culture is gross af β
You know now that you have said it I totally agree with you on the size difference. They also played into it on…
BIG ICK. Damn, I am officially glad I never read that shit. SE was great just as it was, the lack of NC scenes (even any newly written ones for the adaptation they could have done) was fine with me. The show delivered just as it was. Yeah, I don't get female Asian writers and their obsession with rapey stuff between M/M characters, it's like western female writers uninformed obsessions with every kink under the sun that they barely understand, all between M/M characters. Weird.
"I find it extremely concerning how many people so desperately wanted those scenes and Iβm glad they didnβt adapt them. " ~~ it's one thing if it's part of a plot and not romanticized, but they seem to think it's hot, which, no.
They actually did the same thing in some other countries works. The most prominent one that always comes to mind (and that I am super grateful for) is Together with Me. The wattpad trash fanfic original was so full of gross rapey shit, the whole story was ick, in the adaptation the basically just took the base of the characters and overhauled the whole story into an orginal lol

Oh yes, the jacket scene was very nonsensical, the teacher was actually dressed quite well for being on TV, I guess the jacket was needed to further the plot of finding the stomach medication but yeah, not a great writer's moment lol
Baby-esque behaviour in adult leads (men or women) suck, no cap. Not attractive. Very ick.
Are you telling me the original Semantic Error also had dubcon???? Ick ick. I had no idea. SE is one of my fave BLs (one of the few BLs with a great height difference too, just the right amount), knowing the original had dubcon, I can't even imagine where in the story! Best not to I guess. lol
Haha! Lucky for me, I don't read webnovels/webtoons from SK anyway (I think the only one I ever read was Killing/Stalking -NOT A BL...but incidently, still rapey) but other than that, I've never read any graphic novels out of SK, so I don't have to worry about encountering that rapey stuff.
