i dont know...i want to like this show so much but the story doesnt have a direction it feels like. i mean Shan has been looking for Ob-un and yet there is not hint to why. they had that scene where Ob-un knocks on the windo and then Shan knocks on something too in response. it felt like Shan was reaveling something but it goes no futher then that. i do love the story the writers are writing but it too seems to not have a direct unless i missed something. also the show is called BATTLE of the writers....where is the battle part?i just need this story to go somewhere. i mean the trailer had so much promis but once again i have fallen for the trailer but am left hanging by the show.🥺ðŸ˜
Yeah, I'm really excited that we're finally getting vampire shows in BL, but I don't want slice-of-life with a…
THANK YOU!!!! Mike Angelo's Vamp is EVERYTHING I WANT IN A VAMP SERIES!!!! I hope it's as good as the trailer. I am tired of pilot trailers being great and then the show doesn't air until a few months to a year and then becomes ok or bad. I reeeeeeally need something that will actually be as good or even BETTER then the trailer.
when are we going to get 1 hour long eps again? im tired of getting short eps that only show just a little bit of the story. And really, its the pacing. i've been watching midnight museum and they had eps that are 39 minutes and they all felt like an hour because the pacing was good. Can these creators of these shows please stop leaving us with so littke story every ep? or they could at lest make the eps air twice a week. just give us more then this!!!!!!! Waiting for it to get to the meat of the story every week is annoying!!!!
I love watching series as they air cause it's an experience being able to talk with everyone in the comments about…
i am liking though that some shows are airing twice a week now. i dont mind that as long as its not affecting acting, plot, and production which for the shows that are doing this hasn't been the case. Now to get my high fantasy, 1 hour long, 12 ep plus bl and i will be golden.
a few bls, like this one, have been releasing 2 episodes a week. is this a new trend that will be starting? how will it affect production? i am not complaining but i just find it interesting.
Well, I love this special ep! I think it did wrap things up nicely. However, I don't know how I got It in my head that there would be a second season but it got there and I am disappointed a bit. I think even if it was just a few episodes I would have been fine with that. I think it would have been nice to see how Jiang Chi interacted with the ghost and how it affected him and how he relied on Bu Xia through all of it. That would have strengthened the story and their bond more.
That being said though, I love how this explores the difference in how Jiang Chi and Bu Xia think when it comes to taking care of one another. Bu Xia explains how everyone around him since he was a kid has always taken care of him and spoiled him and now Jiang Chi is on that list of people. But Bu Xia feels burdened by this because he wants to stand on his own two feet and be the one to take care of Jiang Chi too. He wants to be on equal standing with Jiang Chi but Jiang Chi is so well accomplished whereas everything Bu Xia has was given to him. So he fears that Jiang Chi will find someone better than him but Jiang Chi assures him that that will never happen.
On top of that, Bu Xia finds out that Jiang Chi had his sister change the characters (I would love it if someone who knows more about how this works can explain what this means) of Jiang Chi so that he can take on hearing the voices instead of Bu Xia. It worries him because he knows how much Jiang Chi has on his plate with exams and his own family not supporting him (something a second season could have flushed out more).
Then the issue with Bu Xia wanting to go on a trip but when Jiang Chi tries to do that Bu Xia always says no so Jiang Chi has to have the apprentices lie for him.
Then after all that, when they do go on the trip and Jiang Chi does the suit and apple tree surprise because Bu Xia's sister said that it is what Bu Xia wanted only for Bu Xia to get upset and walk away only to come back in a suit of his own and those rings because he wanted to do the suit suprise for Jiang Chi and his sister did not understand that.
In the end, they come to understand each other a lot more and where they are coming from, and how best to move past everything together.
This whole ep is about them both trying to understand each other and I love that!
What I would have loved to see more though is Bu Xia overcoming his insecurities and becoming that person who doesn't feel inadequate to Jiang Chi and also learns to accept Jiang Chi's affections even if it means spoiling Bu Xia a little.
I would have liked to have seen Jiang Chi rely a little more on Bu Xia to help him with the ghost voices and how to deal with them. I think this would have been a really nice bit of drama and stress on Jiang Chi along with his family issues that coukd have broken Jiang Chi a little and then Bu Xia would help him get himself back together. This woukd help Bu Xia feel like he can final be the one Jiang Chi needs help from.
The only thing I disliked besides the special ep feeling rushed was the beginning of this ep. The basketball team's last meet scene felt unneeded. They could have cut that out and started from one year later. I don't think it was needed to have that greenscreen ghost since they never did that in the first season. Also, the two of them having that conversation about their tempers could have been done after walking back from the meet, not in front of the team. I felt that there should have been more of a private talk between them. That whole scene was like a therapy session with the team (really the captain and Bu Xia's one friend) being the therapist. Just didn't sit right.
Also, I think Jiang Chi handling Bu Xia when he tried to drink something cold or when the apprentices showed up and Bu Xia went in for a hug but Jiang Chi tried to take him back was too rough. Jiang Chi was a lot smoother in the first season. It really seems too aggress for him to have done all that extra.
I knew it...I knew it the moment Ming first looked at the screen.
Stupid Ming.
Over there falling for a man who wasn't even the man he truly loved only to end up being in the arms of the man he actually was in love with but then break those arms for the same man who he thought he loved.
Again, STUPID MING!
And I am going to need Tong, Ming (but he can get it two times to Sunday) and that Tharn to line up and take this beaten I am going to give them for hurting my dear Joe! I mean WTF!!!!
He was just a sweet guy living his life until he had to meet Ming who ruins his life and then when he gets a second chance he walks right back into the same CRAP!
And I am also going to need whatever wind that blew Tharn in to blow his butt right back because before the accident Joe did not need him then and post-accident Joe doesn't need him at all! (to clarify here, I mean the Joe the Stand-In Joe is currently in)
The only people Joe needs are Wut, his Momma, and Sol!
But seriously... Up. My guy, My dude, THE ACTING CHOPS! He and Poom both deserve every last acting award in the world! They are soooo good!
This show has been a whirlwind! I love it! I am an ansity type of girl! Love all the ups and downs like this! But I am hating this EP though because it is making me wish for the next to see how Ming will be true Joe.
And he better be respecting him quickly or else!!!!!🤬👿
i also love this first start. please, please, please, keep this momentum so i can stay addicted and not fizzle out!!!!
just give us more then this!!!!!!! Waiting for it to get to the meat of the story every week is annoying!!!!
i am not complaining but i just find it interesting.
...Only me?
Cool
Love them so much!!!!
