There is no consensus regarding pacing. It really seems to come down to getting hooked. Basically, time flies when you're having fun.

From a personal perspective, I'm having major DBZ level pacing frustrations with TBL. Momentum built and momentum lost in almost an instant. Special technique / hidden power unlocked. Excitement building. Execute single move. Battle over. Return to normal programming ~ side character romance and anime-tier comedy. Excitement goes into flatline.

My relationship with this show has entered the love / hate space. Love this. Hate that. No in between. I've hit the halfway point, so there is no turning back or dropping. I'm just hoping for a really strong finish.

I actually decided to start MM. I was going to skip it due to the trailer hinting heavy comedy (not my favourite). I'm currently one ep deep, so I have some catching up to do. Surprisingly, I enjoyed it. It will be interesting to see if it can hold my interest?

Great news. I can't wait. FoF didn't quite live up to my expectations, but I feel this will be right up my alley. A 2025 LHY binge is just what the doctor ordered. The stunning and talented WCR. Handsome men Yan An and ZY. A guest role by the lovely AiMi. GJM's signature visuals. It has all the ingredients for something special.

The problem with MDL is the people on here have convinced themselves anything in the 7s is a bad rating. In reality 7 - 7.9 is a solid / good rating. There needs to be room between truly outstanding work and solid work. It wouldn't matter if we were rating socks, but it does here.

Tbf, it's pretty generic. BL is a solid show and entertaining, but not earth-shattering. Higher ratings mid 8s and over should be reserved for outstanding work / masterpieces.

I hope it's not done deliberately to encourage you to purchase an upgrade. The quality of the show should determine that, not in-app tricks / schemes.

This is the second time this has happened during this show. It's very annoying.

Yes. He certainly is. He has a terrific look.

Talented, charismatic, and oozes masculinity, both on-screen and off. What's not to like. Easily my favourite male talent in the Chinese industry. He is also so damn young, the same age as ZJM. There is so much talent post 2000. It's going to be fun watching his career unfold.

Wrapping up an amazing year for him. Well done.

Agreed. She has phenomenal potential. I would love to see her develop into something like a Chinese Liz Taylor. Talented child actress to top recognised talent. I hope the industry provides the necessary encouragement and no unnecessary obstacles.

She's a little superstar / top dramatic actress in the making. She had a great 2024. I didn't particularly like FoF, but not surprisingly she was brilliant in it. I easily could have watched her side story with Zuo Ye stretched out over 40 eps in a full length series. Along with ZJM, she's my favourite post 2000s actress. It's a real pleasure to watch her develop. Looking forward to 2025 and her leading role in Above the Wall.

She really has blossomed. Very elegant and refined. She has Audrey Hepburn vibes. The looks and talent all rolled into one.
