is it bromance or romance ?? I don’t wanna start it and end up disappointed because there’s no romance
It's censored danmei. Yes, if you're so inclined you can say it's just bromance. But if you have eyes to see, you'll see it.
This is the level (no kisses, though there are plenty of PDAs and lots, lots of bedroom eyes and they even kept the drunken marriage proposal LOL): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLLumzo__GA (The song fits the story perfectly).
Take a look and decide. It's the best danmei live adaptation that was ever released.
can someone tell me which new drama was released by untamed's director?? It is historical bromance i think
One of the directors made Eternal Faith (TGCF) but it probably won't ever be released.
The drama you're thinking of is probably Kill to Love - it's airing as a Singaporean drama, but it's based on a danmei novel. MDL doesn't have the technical crew listed, and they probably don't want to be linked to it anyway, officially, given the attitude of censorship in the mainland. One review says it's by the same director as TU, but doesn't say which of them (there are two main directors and one art director).
KTL is unapologetically danmei, LOL, including kisses and everything. I think they're really committed, 4 eps still to run. Hopefully it's a HEA (I haven't started watching yet).
Yeah, well, you should read (because there aren't any other ABO dramas that I'm aware of) some power-bottom Omega…
Yes, usually it's just alpha-beta-omega. Alpha and Omegas are usually rare (though there are some stories where there are WAY too many Omegas.) Most of the regular population is Beta. At times, they can switch genders (but it's mostly in VERY abusive stories, because changing genders isn't easy).
In-between genders, there are ranks. The very top are SSS-tier, then the S-tier, then the ~regular~ kind.
An Enigma is new (or at least to me, I haven't read this one's novel and I guess I won't be reading it at all). He seems to be a very-overpowered Alpha (higher than a SSS level) who can mask his scent and generally control his pheronomenes output. I guess not in this story.
But yeah - in omegaverse all possible combinations are played out, so Alpha-on-Alpha isn't actually new. The fact one of them is so OP is the new bit. And so far, TBH, he doesn't come through to me other than psychotic. Maybe it's the writing, IDK.
Smh. Man called him a filthy omega and Gao tu still opened his legs 😂 anyways...I have like a question on the…
Yeah, that was rape actually. Gao Tu tried to resist and WenLang overpowered him. There is no excuse for it. And probably since it's expected for Alphas to force/rape Omegas in heat, he doesn't even react all that strong... yet.
I'm not really into the A-B-O genre. But this series is excellent, IMO. The reason I like it so much is that it…
Yeah, well, you should read (because there aren't any other ABO dramas that I'm aware of) some power-bottom Omega stories. The fact that there's a gender that tops the Alphas isn't that amazing, LOL, even in this drama some Alphas are S-tier and the others are lesser. Dominating a lesser Alpha already happened quite a few times in this drama too, just not - then - in bed. Alpha-on-Alpha stories exist too (and any and all other possible combinations). Not my cup of tea though.
It felt fresh with the invention of a new gender, but the tropes are pretty worn already, LOL.
At least it's not drop-level (yet). But after Ming, I didn't think I'd ever hate another ML so much and TBH it's…
The writer herself took on a lot of production roles, I think including scripting and directing (I might be wrong, but I think I read that, and also saw the OP credits, just didn't pay much attention to the technical team credits, my bad).
She should know the tropes of heat in ABO 'verse. And also, according to the novel (I've browsed it on Chrysanthemum Garden) there WERE excusing circumstances - at least for WenLang's actions. For some incomprehensible reason she//the team chose to basically turn both encounters into no-excuses rape. In the novel, there might be some abject excuses from the both of them upcoming, but I kind of doubt it in Hua Yong's case (because he's a psycho), maybe it would work in WenLang's case (because he has some trauma and he's genuinely stupid when it comes to actually seeing Gao Tu. I mean, HOW MANY YEARS does it take to see through GT being an Omega?! He cannot be that stupid, right? Unless he IS that stupid, LOL).
Even with the heat tropes, though, why not make use of it smartly? She invented the Enigma gender, and he's supposedly much more than an Alpha and can do basically anything - BUT control himself?!
The rapes weren't needed. HY could have seduced ShaoYu with his pheromones and even if that meant revealing his nature sooner so what, if he loves him?! And the very next day he LEAVES him (a rape victim, struggling to make sense of what the hell happened to him) and plays on his emotions AGAIN with insinuating he's being forced to be WenLang's sex slave or whatever in exchange for the medicine for SY's dad. WHY?! No show of remorse yet, nothing prepared in case he's outed as Enigma... and sadly I kind of think SY will just forgive him, just like that, because he's in love with him. Basically the Stockholm syndrome kind of love. Not really what I expected or assumed, even in a full-on trope ABO drama.
WenLang too - WHY would he go and rape a STRANGER?! If I were Gao Tu, let's pretend he could accept WenLang coming to him and doing it in the heat or because of alcohol - ANYTHING to excuse it - but to a STRANGER?! An Omega in heat, helpless, resisting... and WenLang rapes him anyway?! WHY??? How does Gao Tu moves on from that?! It's insane. But he still sticks around because he doesn't know how to go away yet. I've read some spoilers in the novel, and it looks like he's going the right way after some time, growing some spine despite a lot of pain.
But Hua Yong?... I doubt it.
Sorry for the rant - it just makes me kind of mad I actually liked this drama in the beginning, despite the shortcomings, but now it looks like it's just making material the censors can use to permanently ban making ANYthing danmei (and maybe going after writers too, as with the pedo-material producing writers of Haitang that made the news just a while back). There was some rumour of even foreign-airing dramas to be banned, basically anything danmei would never be produced (involving Chinese actors, that is). And this one would go right on their exhibits' drawer as to why.
Sorry (I guess) to say that last ep (9th) kind of broke the illusion for me, I'm now more like getting through…
At least it's not drop-level (yet). But after Ming, I didn't think I'd ever hate another ML so much and TBH it's not even hate, more like I despise him - both of them actually (the other Alpha I mean). At least Ming wasn't a cunning psychopath playing with his partner's emotions like he's a chew toy, just a regular violent psycho.
But the way both victims are supposed to love their ~partners EVEN NOW is very off-putting to me. (And again, before all the fans come at me, I KNOW my omegaverse stories, I've read yaoi and c-web novels and manhwa on the 'verse and I was aware of the tropes. I am not a prude. It's just that this still has no redemption of any kind, the victims are going to be ~in love~ with them, and they're probably not ever going to regret it for more than a second's inconvenience and/or move right on, never changing.)
Sorry (I guess) to say that last ep (9th) kind of broke the illusion for me, I'm now more like getting through the eps because I'm already past the halfway point. Gao Tu's side is still (a bit) interesting, but since they're the second couple and always in the background I guess there won't be much of a climax to that storyline either.
After careful consideration, I calculated that if we take a shot each time JinAn manages to get half-naked or somebody rips off his clothes, we have a very good chance to stay drunk as skunks throughout the whole drama.

(And no, it's still dropped, what, are they still doing OGwi on the roof and having just 1-min appeareances LOL?)
Movie notes - loved the accent. Also, Korean men age backwards LOL.
And, wow, cameos!
...Dammit.
Anyway, I'm watching you. Better make it soon. Or else.

Anyway, yeah. Camp is just fine, but this is less than IMHO.
Both of them better be suffering through the whole 6 eps left, or there's no saving this story, LOL.
Stop hiding things? What things. LOL. There are no things, move on.

...I might try it, myself. For science.
