There are toxic drama categories- 1. Toxicity is ignored 2. Toxicity is acknowledged yet its been promoted 3. Toxicity is acknowledged but theres lessons learnt from it , reflecting on it , resistance is shown towards it.
This drama falls in 3rd category. Its a toxic bl done right. I never thought i would actually like such questionable plot and characters but here i am , writing a full-blown comment about it. The main characters are not 1 dimensional like other typical, typecasted characters. This drama made me cry despite me having no expectations with this originally. You shulang his character is genuine and feels real. Fan xiao actually realizes what you shulang wants to convey though it takes time but he tries. That being said Toxicity should not be promoted, this drama does its job well. You shulang's resilience and fan xiao's reflections are loud and clear. Though this might not be everyone's cup of tea but it actually conveys the point to the watchers. This is what dark romance should always have been. To acknowledge the darkness, accepting it and fighting it too rather than living in delusions of control and Toxicity being love and care.
Victimizing oneself cannot be cured i guess unless very extreme levels of enlightenment. Too sad that fan yake has completely lost her opportunity, and ended up getting more tangled. Now i just wish for a satisfying outcome for her actions
Certainly her performance in blossom was great however the princess gambit really disappointed. Yes she is so beautiful and can act . Maybe she is not suited for these certain type of characters. Hope she can get a different character and setting to showcase her acting more.
