Toxic but realistic
Hello, first of all I'd like to say that I watch bl dramas for years, so I'm quite experienced in this field, but still have to say that I'm surprised.I've been hesitant to watch this drama for a long time, because I just didn't like the way the top -Ming looked. He doesn't fit the role of a top at all. He doesn't have the physique, doesn't have the dominant vibe and overall, should play bottoms - just my opinion. But that was before and I've decided to give this drama a chance, because I like jealous scenes - just in series and movies of course XD.
Then I started watch the drama and now I can say for sure, that I just purely hate Ming. He is so toxic, that it's impossible to bear. I've watched many dramas and there were many tops that were much less sane than Ming is and it was still good. But this is painfull to watch, because Ming just doesn't really love the bottom - Joe. He just takes him for an object. And here I thought that his toxic behaviour towards Joe is gonna change after Joe dies, and those two years will make him into an angel we're so much used to in dramas with the regretting main lead trop - but here he just continues with the same shitty attitude, which I have to say is at least very realistic. Because this trop usually changing total freaks into walking sweetie pies is just something you have to laugh off, but it's watchable, this drama is impossibly frustrating. Ming doesn't care about what Joe wants, what he feels, and it's to an crazy extent and he's proudly showing it of and doen's see a problem with it - which again, is very real with this kind of person. He has zero accountability and is just pure evil, I don't see anything good on his side really, I would take his crazy possesivness into mercy - because I like dramas with possesive tops - if he at least really liked and cared about Joe, but sadly that just isn't true.
Well that much into story but I'd also like to comment on the couple's chemistry, which just isn't there. Their kissing scenes are just dull and there seems to be no connection and intensity between them, it's just two people kissing but you don't feel the desire and longing in it at all.
So that is for my long review, i doubt anyone is gonna read it but I had to get out my frustration. I don't like this drama at all, but I have to say that if you wanna know how would all these crazy shits tops actually behave if they were real people - this is it, and for that I have to give the author credit, because dramas usually wear pink glasses.
If anyone read this, thank you and don't feel offended, this is just my opinion.
