Goblin is just pure nostalgia though as it was one of my first kdramas. I think most people will always have a bias for their first few dramas they enjoyed and I still enjoy rewatching some of the scenes. Didn't watch the rest of the series.
They really just tend to use the standard old-time Europe aesthetic with knights,bandits,blacksmiths and princesses because that's something cool and foreign. You can see there was some effort put into it though and I like it for that. The occasional blue contacts and coloured hair shows they do want to have that old German town-vibe (making that assumption based on the names and the language).
Its definitely not sexual though from what we see and I agree with that 100%. Anyway I agree that all possibilities are open.
is kinda boring to me at this point. Its all about becoming government officials together and friendzoning each other every time. I guess I just miss seeing some more emotions on ML and the philosophical talks don't really get to me.
Meanwhile I love Lei Ze Xin and Yu Le Xuan for their own storylines and morals. I think they carry their scenes extremely well. Probably just my own preference.
Anyway, from the use of the rapier sword I'm going to guess this is supposed to be 16th-17th century Europe and specifically Germany (the text they use). Hope that the cooks business will survive when another disease hits town. In real life what the cook is doing would be a little messed up considering he could be out saving lives with modern medical knowledge but luckily this is a drama. Don't get me wrong though, good food is important as well.
Also, no guys showing off their calves? No flamboyant military clothing? This isn't the historical Europe I know xD
Don't get me wrong, that won't stop me from commenting on the historical inaccuracies either because I like history xD
They are clearly more than just friends and also don't have a family-dynamic like brother/sister or parent/child (a family-dynamic would make what happened in certain episodes very creepy). I don't think the feelings they had for their respective loves ever disappeared. If I saw three people who weren't family living together like the characters do in this drama I would probably assume they were polyamorous after a while.
However, it is open for interpretation of course since they don't show much of their life at the end. Considering the amount of things they've done to win each others love I still see it as a poly-relationship.
Really recommend people to watch this, not particularly for the romance (although it is cute in some parts) but for the comedy. I think the rating is a bit low because you really don't want to focus on the romance here as a viewer.
Basically a scammer guy tries to earn money for his wedding but ends up getting a gay guy he tried to scam killed. The scammer gets possessed during his wedding and a priest has to try and exorcise him while also confronting his own demons.

No spoilers since its just a random parody.
Anyway, this was a time when this virtual world concept was still quite novel. Nowadays its been done a lot more.
There were plenty of signs that the relationship was toxic even in the first movie though. Would've loved seeing them in a healthy relationship but I guess Chinese media doesn't like to focus on that.
Anyway, it has actual BL moments in a Chinese production so at least theres that.
