ShortCircuit

Don't take the ratings here for the standard. This is an int'l site for fans, anyone and everyone can give ratings to a drama based on their own enjoyment.

Myself, I find this one cute but over-doing it at times, so it's not really my cup of tea. But there are others that are very good, and still BL. Your list isn't too populated with dramas, so I can't tell what you've already watched, but I'd recommend, in no particular order

1. Reset
2. Spare Me Your Mercy
3. Top Form
4. I Told Sunset About You
5. My Stand-In
6. Goddess Bless You From Death (this more for the horror than for the romance)
7. Wu (I'm cheating with this one, it's not supposed to be BL, but there are plenty of hints and it's amazing anyway).

It's not the barely-there beard that kills me.

Did anyone else notice the orange tulips on the nurses' station side, every time Wayu comes with his flowers? They're not JUST the same orange tulips... they're in the SAME position. Over and over and over. Days of orange tulips that never move, LOL. I don't know if they have a continuity person in the team or not (I always thought there would be someone doing that check) but it seems they were out on the day they filmed the hospital visits, LOL.

Without the "good friend" shield though - Tai isn't putting him down. He's providing the other party's POV in a safe environment, where Wayu is able to come up swinging if he needs to. He's well aware of how society works - let's not pretend love conquers all - and is practically giving Wayu a vaccine against hearing the same things from someone he's hoping NOT to hear them from.

Each of them comes with family baggage - now imagine the distinguished over-straight-laced family sitting at family reunions with Wayu's gambling-addicted mother. And neither wants to give up their family, rightfully so - you take love where you can get it. There ARE things that will come between them if they're not strong enough or willing to fight for it. (And Krit made unilateral decisions that he's not going to fight his father over keeping their relationship, so it's not even in the word-preparation stage anymore, Krit took actual action about it).

I don't like over-idealistic lost stories between Cinderellas and princes. I think the writing is good enough on that part. The fighting scenes and how they came about, though... I could have words about those, LOL.

Puss-in-Boots making those big eyes :D

Bullets do bounce around if they hit the body at some funny entry point, so his spine could have been affected, not a lot. That's how I think they imagined it could go. Though - against that explanation - that was a ridiculously low caliber (toy) pistol, it's a mystery the bullet didn't expire on the 3-meter journey to Krit's side, LOL, more even less chance it wouldn't just die on impact and never scratch his skin hahaha~

Anyway, that's what suspension of disbelief is for.

Watch the Special Edition - the ending of the last ep is the originally intended ending sequence. Then they decided some mind-f!ck was in order and made it a bit more ambiguous (though I think it's pretty clear anyway).

For the drama, I like the original drama's ending, twist and all, but yeah, the novel's ending is the canon and it's never going to be anything else for the two of them.

Only 15 eps left, I am not ready to let go yet.

This was such a throwback to the final eps of MSI, LOL. Gangster armed shooting ML - check, hospital stay until dad mellows a bit about the relationship - check, whole family pitching in so that the ML and MC find love - check.

I didn't get how a side-wound would lead to him needing to learn to walk again, but we'll pretend the bullet bounced around inside as they do sometimes and did some damage.

The balcony scene would've made a whole different impact if there was an orange cat there, too LOL. Such a Romeow+Juliet show-stealer hahaha~

(For anyone not knowing, look up Izmir Romeo and Juliet ballet cat :D ETA nevermind, here it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3oK7w8Mw3I )

Let's promote Tai as Dr. Love. He has all the insights and the answers LOL.

I've grown really tired of ambiguous or unexplained endings.

The thing I appreciated most is the ED song.

If they have the general set of rules for palace women as most all costume dramas, a palace lady wouldn't have had the right to marry right off anyway. And if he did respect her, he wouldn't have had a son with her outside of marriage. This guy is simply a snake.

That part, at least he was fighting for his life, so it made sense. But I wonder at lil' bro's reaction. He seems to have actually liked his older step-bro.

But the Dowager is three steps ahead of him, she obviously would have known QC was a son of the house, even if illegitimate. What would the Marquis win by stating it? Like... she already KNOWS he had his own son killed.

Is he actually that stupid?!

Wait, don't answer. If he really is that stupid, then the Ding Mansion tragedy is even more tragic - like, seriously, to be brought down by an idiot HAS to hurt more than being defeated by someone who actually knows what they're doing...

Four. One from the prison guards, three at close range from his father's assassin. Last three in the vicinity of his sternum. Let's hope that guy is also incompetent and missed all vital organs.

I'd LOVE to see little legitimate brother go all up in arms against his father because he thinks he had his bro killed. I really think Qin Cang isn't dead - maybe Miss Lin is treating him to save his life. I want to believe, LOL.

SOOOO! Mawwage. Mawwage is wot bwings us togeder... tooday

It totally happened. Let's see a new heir in this mansion, shall we.

I like how the Senior Bro stopped taking her word for it and went to check on Lishan. Who's with me in that they were all probably killed 8 years ago in that place and that the Dowager put the guard on it so nobody ever learned that? So Ye Li might've been alone for 8 years in that place, having to do everything by herself, all alone with the owls and monkeys and the darkness and the rest of it all.

I didn't quite get what Marquis Muyang implied about Qin Cang being actually Zhou Lang. Is he a princely lost relative or what? So is he NOT Muyang's actual son?!

LOL, "you're an assassin, where's your ambition??"

That's precisely the kind of pep-talk she'd give hahaha~

100 gold taels that I don't have that Qin Cang isn't done yet. No body, no death is the rule.

It's based on the same novel series. It's even in the drama description (and it's title in Chinese).

I don't think 36 eps are enough for Saiunkoku Monogatari...

Agree on Smeagol LOL, he even has the colouring for it :D
