NOT A BL, but a fun watch for the fans of the actors
NOT A REAL BL, but rather a BL-flavoured episodic exorcist series. The ending exposes a major but avoidable misunderstanding, which is a lame plot vehicle.
Reminds me of countless manga, anime, cartoons, TV shows of this genre, even a couple of widely popular mystery GMMTV series from the late 2010s.
But this one is made pretty good and fun. And if you are a fun or the actor, it is totally worth to watch.
It is also interesting that the leading couple took the roles that would naturally fit them more versus their pairing, famous for its unusual setup where the smaller lad is meant to be “top”.
Production values are great. Make up is mostly good, costumes, props and set designs, music etc.
A WARNING: never substitute peas or any other legumes with fake ones made of just some protein powder because those powders most often are made of legumes. They often put legumes even in powders that are labelled whey or other proteins. Only use powders with zero legumes and a guarantee they do not use legumes for other batches on the same production line so they would be no trace amounts.
A REALITY check: see a post with spoilers tags below.
THE NARRATIVE is also typical for GMMTV: about how rich and powerful elites — that actually rob common man — are somehow good and kind, even though it almost never reality, including young heirs. They just had a series like this in 2022: Never Let Me Go, where Phu was playing too-good-to-be-true heir.
