I really adore Sung Yinghao, so it is making me feel sad butā¦ I think that part of the reason (aside from injuries)…
Not going to lie, I actually feel anxious about Bae173 members as Iām writing this (not only them, it applies to Junhyuk, Eden, XingXing and other talented contestants from various countries who take part in Starlight Boys) . It looks like only one of them is making it on Projekt 7, and this show here seems harmful and the results might be a giant flop afterwardsā¦
I really adore Sung Yinghao, so it is making me feel sad butā¦ I think that part of the reason (aside from injuries) may be because as far as I know, theyāve been contractually bound to iqiyi before (ixform activites) and it wasnāt good in the slightest, they know whatās coming for them if they stay and they donāt want the situation from before to repeat (on the other hand, why didnāt XingXing withdraw with them? Not like I want this to happen, I love him wand want to see him succeed). The show doesnāt offer new opportunitiesā¦ If thatās true then this is really sad because a lot of trainees there came exactly for that, not overall recognition/first appearance but a new opportunity.
The contract and conditions situation, in turn makes me feel worried about Bae173 members on the show (although I like many contestants, theyāre the reason I became interested and started watching so naturally Iām focusing on them a lot), as theyāre already in aā¦ well, quite unfortunate contract (which probably extends to fantasy boys members present on the show, theyāre under the same company, but I donāt know them well other than that I like their performances etc so Iāll refrain from speaking too much about them).
Anyway, there have been allegations of mistreatment and racism (I mean, I think at this point every idol survival show like that, with a Korean writing/editing crew etc is racist towards non-korean contestantsā¦ nevertheless it is supposed to be a Chinese-Korean collaboration show, itās literally aired on a Chinese app/streaming service so I really donāt understand why it is allowed to be like that still), Iām pretty sure itās nothing from the trainees side though, as seemed like the contestants were getting along well, despite language and cultural differences.
Additionally, the paid voting this is shady, so there are many other reasons possibly responsible for their withdrawalā¦
Anyway, I hope that theyāll keep in touch with friends they made along the way (my personal observation is, Yinghao and Yoojun seemed to be getting along really well, the same goes for Guanwoo and Daeul so i hope that their potential friendships wonāt suffer because of this situation) and find success somewhere else. When it comes to other contestants I likeā¦ at this point Iām torn, I want to root for people that I feel like they deserve another chances to showcase their talents, the recognition for their hard work, and they deserve to debut/re-debut but maybe dropping out (although it probably costs a lot of money so many of them wouldnāt be able to easily do that) doesnāt seem like a such a bad ideaā¦ I have no means to know how it is in reality there but I donāt want them to suffer under a bad company or an unfair contract!!!
There are Taiwanese BLs and maybe some Chinese ones from before the ban, but generally all bls are turned into Bromances if they are being aired on Chinese platforms and still not all of them pass censorship
The plot is actually pretty easy to predict, and itās more about entertaining scenes (like the fight in the rain) than keeping you guessing. Which honestly, is totally fine, as long as it was the intended impression (which, I think here it was). I actually enjoyed most of the movie, but it left me feeling empty at the end. Not in an emotional way (generally, because of the high entertainment value, this movie is way less serious than how it seems), but it rather feels like it has no conclusion. Was the guy that committed the crimes that happened throughout or right before the action of the movie took place, also guilty of committing all the previous murders? Heās only been called a āsuspectā so we have the answer, but at the same time we donāt actually know. We donāt really get to know his motives, or reasons for some of his actions. Itās a pity, as I think that out of all the characters heās the most interesting one. Watching him unfold as his story develops, is the most engrossing part of this movie, but then itās left off, just like that. Iāve got to say, I was feeling really dissatisfied and even kinda angry, as the credits started rolling but thankfully I waited till the end, and saw the post-credit scene. Yes, thereās a post-credit scene! Which only low-key, fixed my frustrations. Iām still bit displeased but now it feels kinda funny, and the ending seems more ārounded upā. Overall, this movie doesnāt have much rewatch value but if they ever made a sequel with the same characters, I would watch it out of spite, just to know more about the main criminal/antagonist. Although thatās probably not going to happenā¦
Oh no itās not bad, I was just curious. But yeah, his role in FoF was sad š¢, but he wasnāt really a villain there, more like antagonist or even an antihero. But I too want his character to be happy!
I have a question, is Zuo Ye a Uyghur descent?I think he looks like Omid who is a Uyghur descent.They are both…
He may not be, since he was born in Chengdu, Sichuan Province and most Chinese people of Uyghur descent are from Xinjiang, but I donāt know where his parents are from so I canāt be sure.
don't get way they think xin Che is so handsome he looks too feminine and he's too thin and fragile looking maybe…
I also donāt find him handsome, he looks kinda cute but not handsome to me. Too much like IA generated, and he is really thin, to the point I donāt think itās something to be particularly praised forā¦
Iām sorry if Iām being mean, but why the hell is Xin Che not eliminated? I know he looks handsome to many people, but thatās really not enough to be an idolā¦
The live audience/ep 4 rankings are kindaā¦ I really think XingXing especially should debut (Iāve come to really like his voice, itās kinda deep, really nice). And I love SYH, but I love Bae173 boys too!!ā¦ And Junhyuk is like in 30th place š what Dong Hwa was also really good. For Xin Che to be higher that XingXing is truly unbelievable, I donāt want to be mean and I know that he improved, but he has mainly just face. The difference in talent/skill between them is huge.

Only sad thing is that the title changed to worseā¦ but what matters is that if the drama will be good! I hope so!!

Dong Hwa was also really good.
