yes so, when there are professional Cantonese voice actors anyway for the dubbing, they could have tried to imitate Cantonese while acting.

people who rate it low: don't like BL but saw in the top 10 and their recommendations. they never watched it. those other BL lovers who watched ep1 and rate it down, don't like violence and a love story with a really bad boy. they want fluff. so they rate by their personal taste. they shouldn't rate it, just leave it be but they feel entitled to do so anyway.

Liuyi ends in prison for 20 years but Chusan waits for him. Chusan will be rich.

in the novel first kiss after 2 years. Chusan will take care of him in the next episode, so there will be some physical contact, moments but no kiss, yet I guess. you see kissing in the trailer/ song

let's rewatch some other pairings of a white + tanned guy falling in love in the underworld:Bangkok Boy THBL Kiseki Dear to Me TBL Long time no see KBL The Journey to killing you JBL
other mafia plots: kinnporsche, heart killers, knock out, wicked game, 4minutes , jack+joker

it's only 17 or so ;) he got released earlier. just 1 year longer than in the untamed 😅

it's good. i enjoyed it. absolutely readable.

Bangkok boy tried it, too and wasn't bad.

yes what Im saying: the characters are from Hongkong but not the mandarin speaking actors . nevertheless good actors learn different dialects. they could have tried to speak it to make the final dubbing more believable.

she falls into this novel and it's like a video game with the pager giving her tasks. she read the novel, so she knows some background. just continue :) beginning is a bit confusing but it will all clear up in a view episodes.

but how do you empathize on the martial arts? historical fiction could be no fights and action, only intrigues.

yeah it's more a war drama, but sects are involved and in the beginning the fightings aren't happening on a battlefield. to me, war dramas are about actual history and not made up fantasy. it's set in a world with unrealistic martial arts, even so they don't fly around.

race to romance was so freaking believable! almost a BL 🤭

holy smoke! by far the best wuxia-romance in a long time. I hesitated to watch: is this another hype but disappointing like legend of the female general?(watch shadow love instead) no. chasing jade is really good.

and we're so spoiled by Chinese long dramas with 30-50 episodes 😅

we, the novel readers, can't imagine they can tell everything in 9 episodes 😅 what could they possibly cut out? shorten yes, but not telling parts means changing the plot? and for now they are really close to the OG material. they even added scenes 😂

and Bangkok boy

it wasn't fast paced as it's happening early in the novel, too. else, the story between Liuyi and Chusan would have ended with writing the script but now it's really starting.
