Please don't say that without knowing the facts. There won't be anything unhealthy between the two male leads.
Shen Mo was Zhou Yang's lover. ZY was also courting MingXuan's sister because of family pressure. MingXuan tried to remove ZY from his sister's orbit and exposed his relationship to Shen Mo. ZY's mother hired thugs to break Shen Mo's hands (he's a painter).
So you see... the whole mess originated through ZY's cowardice (while Shen Mo was tortured and maimed, he was already skipping the country) and MingXuan's selfishness.
Then when Shen Mo's mind broke and he thought the man who saved him from thugs was ZY, MingXuan didn't correct him. He stayed with him for six months, initially from feeling awkward to have caused this, feeding him, caring for him, eventually making love to him but all the while Shen Mo didn't know it was him. In his mind, he was making love to Zhou Yang. IMHO that amounts to rape, 'cause Shen Mo definitely wasn't aware of who he was dealing with and was in a very vulnerable position.
When Shen Mo came out of his insanity bout, he didn't even know who MingXuan was. The villa they keep referencing was where they lived together while they were ~in love~. The lover he's being kind of jealous for is himself. He took MingXuan's contract to be his kept lover because he had no other choice - he was poor and his hands weren't working. And all the sex they had after that contract, while not exactly coerced, wasn't exactly desired by him, either. And it's pretty clear in the novel that, at least in the beginning. Shen Mo was very afraid of MingXuan and of the consequences of his anger.
When it all comes clean, Shen Mo leaves the whole mess behind and heals for a few years. They meet again after a long time, Shen Mo has even started painting again using his other hand, and MingXuan has his sister's son in tow.
From that part on, the relationship is healing and mutual and not a game of shadows.
Is this an original script or is it adapted from a novel? If so, would anyone share what’s the novel 🙏🏼...otherwise,…
Not danmei, but Sorim's I Delayed My Death for a Will (KBL novel) has a somewhat similar feeling. I'd highly recc' it, the bottom is a spent hero who doesn't want to be a hero anymore, and the top is obsessed with finding the hero in hiding (and playing guessing games with him while drawing him out). Well written and well TLed.
I haven't read the novel but the vibe I'm getting is the bottom being lowk obsessed with the top, but thinks the…
I read the novel. My impression was that Shen Mo was truly afraid of MingXuan after he recovered his sanity and forgot their months together. And at the same time, he's a bit interested, 'cause looking from a safe distance, MingXuan seems to care about him a bit. Poor Shen Mo is starving for affection.
someone please spoil the show for me. did mr ji sleep around with other people (male or female?), does the ex…
The person MingXuan kept in the villa was Shen Mo himself, when he was crazy and thought JMX was his ex. So no, MingXuan didn't sleep around.
I don't remember the ex and the sister marrying (but I wasn't paying attention to them).
There will be a happy ending, but if they go by the novel, it won't be soon. Shen Mo needs to completely heal and stand on equal footing to JMX before that happens. In the novel, they separate for a pretty long time.
It's not (edited: Prae) Prim. It's probably Chita. I bet he goes around making new Nour each and every decade…
I heard of Vampire the Masquerade LOL, I thought it was an anime (I don't like vampires, Nour was an accident).
There are specific preservatives they use to keep blood liquid for blood banks (like CPDA for example), it doesn't stay liquid on itself. If the heart stops, the blood pressure is nil, the blood, even if still liquid (for a very few minutes post-death) cannot flow (physics says LOL). They couldn't even suck it out. And if the body's been dead a while, it coagulates and becomes blood jelly (yeeeeeesh). Nobody could extract that.
Eh, we'll just blink and suspend disbelief. Maybe he lied anyway.
I think the last time I've seen a ghoul was way back in some episode of Mummies Alive LOL. He was a cool ancient Egyptian ghoul :D
It's not (edited: Prae) Prim. It's probably Chita. I bet he goes around making new Nour each and every decade…
Dr Ji knows that Ken is Nour, and he might be able to recognise some traits of Nour. Maybe that's what's making him interesting to Chita - that, and the fact he's not repulsed by Nours.
Anyway... My first impression in the drama, in that first AI montage of Ken trying to kill himself, is that James is the one who can kill him. He said something to the line of "I met the man who could kill me". I don't think he meant anyone else but James, though it's unclear to me if he meant the laundromat encounter or something that might come around after they get together.
Kind of like Connor MacLeod losing his immortality once every other immortal was killed - what if Nours need ONE specific person to do something - feed them their special blood?! - and take away the immortality curse?
In which case, if Chita is going around killing Nours and people, he might be also looking for that special someone. Maybe he thinks it's Dr. Ji.
These two people at least are kind of psycho. Oh and Prae stalking Chita - maybe HE made HER, and now she's either looking for revenge for Tee or is purposeless. (She seems to be a lot more likely villain, what with going to the police station and showing superpowers to recover that phone, and escaping from traps meant to kill her.)
It's not (edited: Prae) Prim. It's probably Chita. I bet he goes around making new Nour each and every decade…
Would a burn cause that much destruction? He seems to drag that leg, like it's been broken OR he had polio when he was a child (I mean, if he's Nour, he's bound to be a lot older than he looks, maybe he was born in a time when the vaccine wasn't available).
Though I am not sure why I think he mentioned something about an accident or assault. Maybe from the Nour who made him and "betrayed" him, the one he talked to Dr. Ji about?
It's not (edited: Prae) Prim. It's probably Chita. I bet he goes around making new Nour each and every decade…
Yes, Prae (sorry, just finished Mr Kill).
I don't like Chita, LOL, I think he's the one. He's kind of creeping on Dr. Ji (not that Dr. Ji resents it). It's just he has that looming killer aura.
I'm not versed in vampire lore, I would've thought they'd feed on transfusion blood. I mean that's collected from a living person, and even if there's the ick factor of people donating to save lives and instead it goes to feed the undead LOL, but it's legit and there would be easy access to it for a doctor.
But he said it's from a dead person, a dead person's blood stops flowing pretty fast once the heart stops, and whatever drains coagulates rapidly, not slow enough to capture it in a blood bag. So at least that part (of his explanation, maybe he lied) doesn't sound legit.
... Unless he's not a vampire but a ghoul. Ghouls eat bodies right?
I'm kind of, a little, 1000% certain the mastermind is actually Kaye LOL. Though while he's a Kira, Phat definitely…
That bullet, from that close, on that spot of his back would have shattered his shoulder blade so badly no doctor could have pieced it back together. But it left only a pretty scar ('cause he treated his wound by telekinesis or something, since Phat couldn't find him anywhere, and he a cop LOL. )
But at least Kira, errr, Kaye, is so damn pretty. We have to forgive him. Them's the rules.
(And he took care of the cats. I'll allow a maybe-villain who pets the kitties LOL).
Now we're getting somewhere. (I bet ANY excuse would have been good for James to close up on Ken, LOL.)Also, theory.
It's not (edited: Prae) Prim. It's probably Chita. I bet he goes around making new Nour each and every decade or so and then he goes around killing them. He can't eat food 'cause he needs blood and so he works at a morgue. (And he probably got the limp (if it's even real) before he was made himself so it didn't heal.)
Which reminds me, DOCTOR Ken, dead people's blood doesn't flow LOL and definitely doesn't remain liquid for you to snack on. So now they're not vampires but ghouls or something? Heh.
Anyway, James likes to beat up his sex partners and let himself be beaten by them LOL, kinky.

This one seems to be an original.

The MC are both gay. The ex is bi (leaning gay.)

You just jinxed them. See if they don't pop out a little ManNour to populate the world after the Nourpocalypse.
Though I am not sure why I think he mentioned something about an accident or assault. Maybe from the Nour who made him and "betrayed" him, the one he talked to Dr. Ji about?
