Because of this bts I can never get over either Ziyu and Tian or the characters. I fell in love with the characters more after watching the bts. And I've never adored any one more than Tian and Ziyu. How the F did we all get so lucky to see this footage?! How could we possible express the gratitude and love after getting to see them just as they are?! The sweetest, silliest, hardworking boys. We are all rooting for you both, success and happiness and health forever and ever!
...that doesn't explain why you're so rude. Some people only want to watch a few anime. I don't want to deal with a whole other account and create a list of only anime. It's not a problem to have anime titles here too.
guys please, if you want to track your anime watchlist, please do it on myanimelist and not on here
I don't want to create a whole other account when all I watch are a few different anime. Someone explain why it's a problem to have a category for anime and list it?
Why are you all angry that anime is posted here? I would like mor anime to be posted. I watch enough I want to track it in my watchlist, but not a ton that I want a whole other account on an anime forum.
really great review. It really is phenomenal because of all these things. It's so rare in drama to be so f-ing perfect. The thing I can't get over the most is Tian and Ziyu falling in love IRL having a parallel story. The drama couldn't have been cast any better. I literally just don't know what happened to have those two play those specific roles and then be themselves and all the sparks and story between them...can't get over any of it...wu sou wei and chi cheng...and ziyu and tian.
Why do they keep saying Han Li isn't much to look at??? I mean the man is handsome af.....
In the anime and in this live action, Han Li is meant to be average with looks. And I think that he is. This is opposed to someone who has very striking and unique facial features like for instance, Chen Zhe Yuan or Tian Xuning. There is a plainness to Han Li in the anime and a plainness to Yang Yang's looks. That doesn't mean he is ugly. It's kind of like how we can describe a girl as having 'the girl next door' look. It means there is a plainness, a sense of a nice classic features. That doesn't mean she is ugly. This is for example Jennifer Aniston vs someone like Angelina Jolie who has more striking unique features.
Yang Yang has the nice classic looks. He is very handsome in this particular way. This type of look is actually very refreshing. I think the first misunderstanding is to take him being described as average as an insult. Honestly, I came here to ask if anyone else found it just perfectly shocking how much Yang Yang literally looks like the Han Li from the anime?!?!?! Like, literally is the drawing come to life!!!!! And I just love Yang Yang for this role! He embodies the character and is just so perfect for this drama! He is very handsome and talented, wishing him continued success!
yeah, unfortunately I just don't like her. I don't hate her. This was a great role for her, good on her. I think this drama is great and I hope it succeeds. I just can't get into it....b/c of her lol. oh well.
True... Pure brainless people are commenting shit here..... They can't understand that the female lead's characterisation…
Did you even read my review? I praise the drama and both MLs. I state I understand the architype of FL and I like it. This isn't a hateful or brainless review, it's honest in that my main issue isn't with the drama, character or acting. it is what it is.
It was actually funny often, I like laughing. Obvi the voices are amazing and that's why I watched it. The rest is fine, its good for kids. The story is pretty honest about the intentional idolatry of pop stars and how it sucks our souls. I wonder how much people are going to acknowledge this truth.
Watching it again this OCT 2025 I'm realizing how much the drama being released so soon after 'The Prisoner of Beauty' was a major mistake. That drama was so good that viewers were extremely critical of Princess Gambit. If this drama had been released now, I would be so anxious every day for the release to watch it. It's crazy how release dates and what is also being released at the time can play into how the viewer feels about a drama. Marketing spent all that money and didn't think about this.
Thank you for your awesome review! I don’t read novels and didn’t watch the anime but I really like his character…
yeah man! Glad my review has been helpful. Blood of Youth is in my top 5 favs too. It really is the best across the board in all aspects. Gong Jun has such expressive eyes and that's extremely necessary for a character who is stoic and does a lot of his talking with his eyes.
