Lu Yu Xiao and Cheng Lei alluring performances and super chemistry stole this show when it was first broadcast. Now in my second viewing, I can relax and appreciate other positive aspects. Zhang Ling He and Esther Yu were a good match but Esther's performance was lacklustre though I applaud her for trying a different role. ZLH did well, he had great chemistry with his funny sister and best friend but his character was a bit spineless. Jolin Lin was amazing as the sister and had a great rapport with his CP but her comedy moments were few and far apart. As we know, every hetero drama in China has a bromance (Chinese BL) subplot to attract more audiences but Cheng Lei looks forced as Tian Jia Rui big brother and I could not see the appeal. I think the fact that most of us were obsessed with his romance with Lu Yu Xiao character somehow make his rapport with Tian Jia Rui character annoying. When I watch this series first time I found it super boring at moments but now I just keep going and I enjoy it somehow. It is a dry series, not enough spark, plots points not well explained, and a silly overuse of the blowing machine! but I still gave it a good rate.

I think so, they have not been released

A few minutes into the 1st ep and I am already annoyed with all the characters. The premise is absurd, it is not even funny. The narcissist character is unwatchable. I fast-forwarded practically the entire two episodes and there is nothing there for me. It looks like the secondary couple could be interesting and only appear in the last second, so we have to wait to see if there is something redeemable about this BL.

Many thanks for the summary, really interesting and complex

Do you mean the 21 episodes? I was asking because sometimes they are released in a Chinese streaming services in raw format

all the episodes?

I love this series. It is very touching. The performance of the leads is so heartfelt it is impossible not to care deeply for them and their loved ones. Their kiss in the train was beautiful and the comment of her friend when she saw it in social media "you thought you were in a K Drama" was so on point. Really K Dramas has became "that reference" for "over long" "over done" even "over cooked" kisses nowadays. 😂

I started watching the series for the top female actors here. It is a good series but packed with misery!!!! I have watched 8 episodes and it is not ending of cruelty. The Very Positive is a series that focuses on the bravery of women in adversity. The best male character is played by Hu Yi Tian as the ML. He has very good chemistry with the lovely Lu Yu Xiao playing his sister and thankfully with the great Zhang Yin Ji as his love interest. He has a mask when playing as the evil lead of the secret police, it is really necessary because HYT has a sweet puppy face :-)

Ep2 - This series has it all to be a fireworks of a BL yet it is really not happening much and definitely a downpour in relation to the manga. I really was expecting more :-( I will continue watching, hopefully, will improve.

Ep1 - I started this with so much enthusiasm and it made me dizzy in the first 17 minutes, it probably will improve but I cannot cope I am exhausted, the mother is unwatchable and the boss is the same ridiculous caricature of bossy bosses in China. A total pass for me.

Episode 1 - Kiita Komagine is perfect as Hayama (blonde character). Very attractive sensual man. He has the nuances of the role to the point and warmth in his performance. Taisuke's character (his CP) is cliche but they look great together. I definitely keep watching. Japanese BL has that alluring quality that is unparalleled. Hopefully, their dynamic in the following episode is a good representation of the manga.

I will, thank you

Thank you! It sounds like a very slow burner!

Did ZLY and Ling Gen Xin characters become a romantic couple in this series or did everything remain a master-disciple relationship?

The manga is very 18+ but most of the BLs are based on this kind of material and are toned down a lot. So as you say, let's see.

Exactly like that!

They say they had an intimacy coordinator, I wonder if the sex scenes are going to be that overt. Because intimacy coordinators normally are called when people have full naked scenes that kind of things. If you watch the Japanese film Egoist they had a intimacy coordinator but the sex scenes were super raw.

I am so looking forward to this BL. The actors look so shy when they meet for first time (irl) I recommend watching this video of their first photoshoot. It is really sweet https://youtu.be/7UAAgiweG2M?si=rGmRYAzES1wNvCnF

This is a total rewarding watching experience. From ep 1 to the end. I don't watch anything by these actors. I did not even know who Ling Gen Xin was, and I dropped the only drama that I intended to watch by ZL Ying (LoFei) on the third episode! LG Xin character is just perfect he floats in front of our screen with peace and coolness and his love for ShenLi (ZLY) is so endearing. ZL Ying looks absolutely beautiful as ShenLi, they have the chemistry to burn the screen. A dream CP really. Strong storylines for women are my favourite and this one is so good. As bonus, we have the love story of ShenLi parents, what beautiful scenes. Lovely performance by Xuan Lu (sister of WWX in The Untamed) and Xu Hai Qiao as his phoenix lover. Another visual couple. So much chemistry and needed to show their passion for each other. Though ep 24 is full of unnecessary flash backs, some characters are obviously fillers and the last episode was not about them (what was the point), it is still a 10 for me and a must-watch!

Why people are rating this so low? 2 episodes and is very impactful. This is a world of "losers" and macho chauvinists which look quite the common thing in Korean society. Woo Young the actor playing the suffering brother delivers a visceral performance. Jae Bin doing the opposite role from that of Choco and Milk is quite a surprise. already giving lots of chemistry vibes as CP. This is not going to be a fireworks K BL but I hope people give it a chance at least.
