In China only hetero romances are acknowledged as romance. BLs are forbidden and bromances are seriously curtailed nowadays. Some dramas include an unnecesary piece of romance in order to sell it to the censors.

Totally agree

Good point if hetero romance attract viewers and money in China it would be included

Well explained, thank you

So many times a good Chinese series is spoiled for a silly piece of romance. This is one typical case. Idk if it is because they are obsessed with hetero agendas.

This series started with a bang, Dylan Wang at his best. Since the silly FL fake grand princess appeared, watching it has becoming burdensome. For given her character screen time we are losing the other characters times, which are superior. I have been forwarding all her parts but watching something this way is tiring. I will persevere hopefully it will improve. I am in ep 11

Could I be totally shallow and ask if the lovely young CP of Will love in Spring have any scene together here? (Du Lan and Mark Ma)

I am loving this. This is my first Yang Zi drama, I really don't watch Chinese modern romance dramas so I missed most of her work. Contradictorily, the only modern dramas I have watched had Li Xian and Miles Wei as MLs and left such an impression on me for the quality of their performances (if you have not seen Li Xian's Will Love in Spring, you are really missing a piece of art. His partnership with Yu Tong was super). What a surprise to discover that Yang Zi apart from looking so beautiful here is also a great actor. So far, a very rewarding watching experience

Does anyone feel that the CP should have been Jung Hun character (Taemin) and his friend with benefits (I don't think we knew his name!?) The chemistry of these two while kissing in the bathroom was amazing, lovely visuals together, it was the only rewarding part of this unconvincing BL. We only came to see them together again, in a few seconds when this friend showed his pain due to Taemin's dismissive attitude. I think they both delivered. I did not like Ho Jung performance, did not match Jung Hun energy, he looked better next to Jae Hoon who resemblences more the dog in his other BL. Very so so

What are you even comparing them? ?!! I watch Bai Lu dramas often but I have never watched a Yang Zi one, not intentionally, maybe I prefer the storyline of Bai Lu dramas. Bai Lu is also one of those actor that create chemistry with most of her CPs which is rare. Maybe Zhao Lusi is another FL who also matches well with all her CPs but they are the exception rather than the rule.

I was loving this comedy series until the princess character performed by Xi Wei , in theory the FL, appeared. Sorry guys I cannot stand her character here. No reflection on Xi Wei. I have watched tons of her performances as FL and enjoyed, but here she is the weakest link in an otherwise fantastic bunch of characters. I am fast forwarding all her parts. Instead Dylan Wang is fabulous in this series. He is the star of the show following by the members of his family, such amazing comedy actors, even the adorable little girl is. They all needed to be in the main poster!!

Have you not watched other Dylan Wang dramas? This is what he brings to the table. He is great at it.

For me it is not a matter of liking her or not. It is a forced CP in a great comedy series and she does always the same roles. I liked her very much when she started as a lead, now I avoid her dramas because the repetition. Other FL reinvent themselves in every series

This started with a bang. Dylan Wang at his best!!! His comedy timing/skills are impeccable. The soundtrack is great. I hope stays like this and not focus in a romantic CP. A whole comedy group adventure is much more rewarding that a so so CP chemistry and the rest of the cast are doing great.

This erotic film is good, and sex does not get in the way of the storyline like with other similar productions, on the contrary. All merit of the late Kim Joo Hyuk, who was an excellent actor, and brings all the layers of Bang Ja characters to live and keep our interest throughout. I really like that all sex scenes only happen between him and Yeo Jung (FL) so this is a comforting viewer experience. The claustrophobic environment in these scenes, the great chemistry between the leads take us by surprise considering Bang Ja character. He delivers an amazing sensuality that moves his lover deeply. If you like erotica, don't pay attention to the low rating here and enjoy this film. You won't regret it.

I think he won an important award for this film already, a couple of weeks ago.

The chemistry of Go Eun and Steve Noah is amazing, the same as their acting abilities, yet they gave the vibes of a hetero couple and I couldn't shift that feeling throughout the film. This is not the fault of the brilliant Go Eun that was impeccable in her role but of Steve. He did not convince me as a gay character and it has nothing to do with mannerism or gay stereotypes: there was something lacking in his emotions to portray this character. Instead, the gay activist actor was on point. I also did not like the mother, did not bring the nuances that the character required. For me is a 9 (I gave the series a 10) for a good story and the great effort of all involved.

It adds to the extreme/dramatic aspect of YZJ personality. He was not afraid of death and suffering (being poisoned he was in constant physical discomfort). He was in the edge of life and death all the time. In taking so many risks he achieved so much, until he finds her and his zest for life revived, making the end, a soulful one. On the other hand, as he loved her unconditionally, he also learnt to let her go and he went in peace. He knew, she will be alright.

Excellent drama. I recommend it to everybody. I am not in any "fan club" so I don't understand the pettiness of all. Endings are a choice of the storyteller. I think this ending matched the spirit of the tale, of this super man that has survived the worst in life and still stand tall and strong. He gave her that, this man, and wanted to leave her with that image. YuNing spoke in a live that he liked that ending. In real life, many people chose this that their relatives do not look at them consume by the illness, but it is not the best for those left behind. Although very hard, it is endearing to look after our loved ones even in their worst moments. I am sure DuanWu would have liked to be there and would never thought any less of him, but he had the right to chose how to die. I respect that, so I am alright with the ending.
