The comment below basically answered that question. No, not BL. Mainland Chinese shows can't have explicit BL because of censorship. The relationship between the two MLs could be up to your interpretation. I see it as a deep platonic friendship/bromance, but you could definitely see it as more if you want. There's no right or wrong answer 🤷🏼‍♀️

Just some between side characters so far and the two male leads have a cute bromance/friendship going on!

I agree! It's really good so far.

Plain genuine bromance, although you could easily read it to be more than that if you wanted. And the original novel is not a technically BL, from what I've heard.

I'm just two episodes in, but I'd say there's bromance! The two MLs definitely have a cute friendship/partnership going on.

Okay, after watching episode 14, I'm honestly rooting for Meng Chen more than Jingzhi...Jingzhi really hasn't shown much remorse for neglecting his little "brother" and I wish he would. Although, MC's actions still aren't justifiable...

I definitely recommend watching the playlist! The subs and quality are MUCH better. Thanks for the links!

That's a good question. I'm sure we'll know more once the series progresses. My thoughts are he's doing it in part for revenge, because he was human-trafficked himself as a kid? And, he does hold a grudge against Jingzhi. His mother was also physically abusive to him, so that can mess someone up.

I've watched up to episode 13, and Ming Cheng has more dimension now, and you get more of his backstory. If he was a pure psycho, then I would've stopped watching the show 😅 You get to see some of the reasons behind his actions. Side note - I loved The First Shot! And Lele was a great villain.

I agree! I loved them both in Whispers of Fate.

I don't think anything has been confirmed. It would be nice if there was a second season! I'm not counting on it though 🤷🏼‍♀️

Haha, yes. I kinda feel bad for Zheng Ming too, because as the series goes on, you find out how rough his childhood/adolescence was. Anyway, he will at least get a hug at some point from the ML, since there's a clip in the end credits of it, so that makes me feel a little better. He's still done some bad stuff though, so not excusing his actions.

Haha, yeah. When I watched that scene I was like, 👀👀. I mean, the way Zheng Ming looks at Jingzhi throughout the series almost feels more than just "brotherly" love...but he is a sociopath, so 🤷🏼‍♀️

I'm enjoying this drama so far. The (toxic) bromance is definitely there!

The subs aren't that great with this one, but I still really enjoyed it despite that. If you’re a fan of bromance like I am, then this is definitely the show for you 😊 It also has a happy ending 👍🏼

This drama takes a lot of inspiration from Nirvana in Fire, but it's still SO good. The bromance is so touching 😭 One of my favorite recent watches. Really well done for a vertical drama.

I definitely agree with you. I suppose we'll just have to see where the story takes everything.

I just finished episode 11, and it seems like the focus is shifting back to the cases and the dynamics between the two "brothers".
