The whole Ke Lo incident feels very much like a spider/fly situation, planned by Lu Feng. I get the feeling Lu Feng has been keeping tabs on Yichen for years, just waiting for him to get divorced so Lu Feng could pounce:
- Ke Lo suddenly riding his bicycle in front of YC's car and pretending he got hit
- the "ow ow my leg hurts" act, thus making YC worry and offer to drive him to the hospital - using guilt to establish a little bit of a connection between them
- the "broken" laptop
- without permission, Ke Lo taking a peek inside a folder in the car that just happened to have YC's resume in it, so KL could make sure he had the right guy that LF told him to target.
- Ke Lo getting Yichen to buy him a new laptop because his was "broken," thus establishing a little bit more of a connection between them - this reminded me a LOT of when Lu Feng intentionally damaged his own laptop years before, so he could get YC to come over and "fix it" for him
- without permission, KL sends YC's resume to the head of some unnamed company (of course it's LF's company). This is to reassure LF that he did indeed find YC, and their scheme is now in motion.
- Ke Lo obviously having some kind of connection / relationship to Lu Feng, but being oh so careful not to slip up and say what that connection is when he walked Yichen to his "interview." (I get the feeling KL is the son of LF's sister, thus they are nephew and uncle. Nothing sexual. But KL has obviously been coached by LF on what to do and say.)
- Lu Feng deliberately letting Yichen peek through the door as he was leaving, allowing YC to see the playful banter and face-touch with Ke Lo......knowing full well that YC would misunderstand and be hurt.
This dude had better be careful.Korean fans turn on a dime from rabid fans to rabid animals at the whiff of a…
When an artist is just trying to have an actual life outside of their work, the ferocity, vindictiveness and sometimes violent retaliatory behavior of some "fans" (aka sasaengs) is actually frightening - whether those "fans" are Korean, Chinese, etc.
The first separation (the one forced by both sets of parents) was around 4 years long. Not sure about the second…
I think they'll probably change that for the series.
It would be relatively easy to make Lu Chen look older, but not Yichen, who, even though he's supposed to be in his mid 20s, still looks like he's about 14 years old.
The music in the scene where Tiger's brother is sitting in the bar discussing how he forced Tiger to shoot someone pisses me off.
It's much more suited to a comedy scene, **not** a scene where a mafia member is talking about extreme violence and a deeply traumatized younger brother.
Epic fail on the part of whomever chose that music.
This series is just.......wow. Seriously. WOW. It's unlike any other I've watched. So good.
And I tell you what.....if it weren't for MDL showing that Krist is part of the cast, I would NEVER have recognized him.
His role as the evil shaman Li Pou is INCREDIBLE. He lost a lot of weight and his face / hair / mannerisms are COMPLETELY different. He is truly immersed in his character and the story. This has got to be one of his best roles, ever.
I will never understand the mentality of someone who takes pics of a celebrity just trying to live their life WITHOUT CAMERAS invading their personal time, and then that person posts the pics (without permission) for their own 15 seconds of glory.
Take pics of them at movie premiers, at fan events, etc......no problem. In those instances it's part of the celebrity's job.
But when they're out and about and trying to have some time away from their job, just leave them the hell alone. GEEZ.
lu feng did confess everything didn't he? i don't understand yi chan 😠man is angry for literally no reason…
"I am still trying to think what could have made Yi Chen behave this way."
You DO realize that Lu Feng's confession to the younger brother at the end of Ep 4 doesn't come until AFTER he's caught with that other guy and AFTER he rapes Yichen, right?
So......I'm pretty sure the cheating and the rape had a lot to do with why Yichen is angry.

I don't know the answer to that one.
In the novel, other ppl said many more years passed - something like 15 or 20 years. But I haven't read the novel myself, so I can't confirm that.

All planned. No doubt whatsoever.

Not sure about the second separation.
The music in the scene where Tiger's brother is sitting in the bar discussing how he forced Tiger to shoot someone pisses me off.

I have no idea who the actors are, since MDL doesn't list the cast at all. Which I find strange.
The two ML have decent chemistry, which is good.
But I cannot STAND the simpering, mostly spineless assistant of the popular BL actor character.
I'll stick with it for now and see where this series goes.

EDIT: Finished the series. It's OK. Not great. But it does make some good commentary on the unhinged "extreme fan (aka sasaeng)" culture.
He's already got a page on MDL, so why hasn't he been added to the cast?
And I tell you what.....if it weren't for MDL showing that Krist is part of the cast, I would NEVER have recognized him.

The article doesn't specify which country the politician is from, so it's a confusing sentence.
How does some politician's sex life in Vietnam have anything to do with Kim Soo Hyun?
Does anyone know who, years before, was sending Lu Feng's letters back "Return to sender" so Yi Chen never saw them and never knew about them?
Was it the younger brother? Or Yi Chen's parents?
I know the younger brother claimed he also didn't know anything about the letters, but I don't trust him.....
